Easy Bake Coven

Send us a textDearest coven, this week has been a bit of a doozy. But we remain unwavering in our dedication to bringing laughs even among the tears. In this week's episode, we get political and bring our hot takes regarding the real life handmaid's tale scenario playing out in a Georgia hospital room. We'll talk about some dark Irish history. And then we'll do a swift 180, and talk about the weird and ridiculous headlines we couldn't help but click on. We'll find our new favorite criminal in Kentucky, a pied meth piper if you will. We'll revisit an old favorite, witches controlling swarms of bees to punish assholes. And we'll even end with a good thing, because it's more important now than ever. Hold your loved ones close, and join us so we can laugh together. Happy Haunting! Support the showGet in touch!

Send us a textIn May 1989, an anonymous whistleblower appeared on a Las Vegas news show, interviewed by journalist George Knapp. The claims shared by "Dennis" (as he was called on the show) were pretty remarkable. He claimed that he had worked for the government on a top secret program located in the desert near Area 51. He said that the government had 9 extraterrestrial crafts that scientists were working on reverse engineering. By fall of that year, Bob Lazar was ready to come forward and reveal his name and the full extent of his experience working with alien technologies at Area 51. From the get go, Bob Lazar has been a polarizing figure. He's been widely written off as liar, but many well respected folks in the UFO world trust and believe him, so we think it's worth a closer look. Don't take our word for it, and tune in and decide for yourself if you believe the incredible story of Bob Lazar. Happy Haunting!Support the showGet in touch!

Send us a textWith bodies popping up all over the Eastern Seaboard, people are starting to question, is there a New England serial killer? And more importantly, is it Taylor Swift? The police aren't releasing many clues, apart from “no signs of foul play,” but a leg found in an affluent neighborhood and bodies floating down rivers would beg to differ. Still, foul play does not a serial killer make. We'll cover the latest timeline and crime scene details and come to our own conclusions. We'll also dig into New England's sordid history of past unsolved serial killings and learn about a potential mass murderer stalking men in Boston. Happy haunting!Get in touch!

Send us a textCoven, we've been trying for the past few years to carve out our niche in the heavily populated podcast world, and we think we've finally found it. Over and over again we find ourselves bringing you the latest news on three of the most important contemporary topics: Bigfoot, AI, and creepy clowns. This week is no exception as we discuss a compelling sasquatch sighting, all the shitty things AI did this week, and yet another case of a strange clown making people uncomfortable. We'll also talk about a possible New England serial killer, Annabelle the haunted doll burning down a plantation, and get the highlights from halee's trip to UFO fest. All of that and so much more await you on this week's roundup of all things spooky and strange! Happy Haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textOn June 4th, 2010, 7 year old Kyron Horman was excited to present his project on red-eyed tree frogs at his elementary school's science fair. His step-mom Terri drove him to school, browsed the fair with him, snapped a photo of him next to his poster, and then said goodbye. She watched him turn around and walk down the hallway towards his classroom, and then she left. That would be the last time anyone would see Kyron. This week on EBC, we dive into the mysterious disappearance of this sweet boy. We'll learn about what would become the largest criminal investigation in Oregon state history, and pretty quickly come to our own conclusions about this baffling case. We'll also talk about the very intense and active subreddit community working hard to piece together this confusing puzzle.

Send us a textWhat a whirlwind this week, folks! We may be entering our EBC Lite era, but this latest news update is anything but! We're living vicariously through scientists uncovering the new color olo, we're getting updates about the other Don in our lives (who's also a clown, literally) and we're getting hung up on news from Rome. (Hint, it's not about the Pope.) We'll learn about the time Halee met Justin Bieber as a grown adult woman, how Elise gets sucked into pop culture Reddit threads, and despite warnings from the "Godfather of AI," we'll ask Zoom's Chat Bot to summarize this episode for us. So please tune in and enjoy our "casual banter and diverse subject matter, which likely will appeal to current and future podcast listeners." Happy haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textIn 1900, 20 miles off the coast, one of Scotland's greatest mysteries unfolded on the Flannan Isles. Its lighthouse, finished just one year earlier, failed to turn on. For days it remained dark, and when a ship came to relieve the island's keepers, they found the island deserted. All three lighthouse keepers had vanished into thin air, leaving little to no clues. Was it a rogue wave? Was it a murder suicide? Maybe a sea monster or UFO? Anything is possible. We'll dig into the conditions of their quarters and read entries from their logbook to determine what really happened on that cold December day. Happy haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textIn the summer of 1969, strange things started happening on Lake Worth, outside of Forth Worth, Texas. There were whispers of an odd creature- described as part man, part fish, and part goat- being spotted in a local nature preserve. What started out as an outlandish rumor became front-page news on July 10, 1969, when the creature jumped on the hood of a car and disappeared into the forest, but not before leaving an 18 inch scratch down the side of the vehicle. When 6 visibly shaken locals showed up at the sheriff's office to report the incident, law enforcement had no choice but to investigate these strange goings on. Soon, seemingly the entire town was taking to the forest, armed with whatever weaponry they could find to hunt down the Lake Worth Monster. But would they catch him? Tune in to this week's episode to hear all the details of this fascinating tale! Happy Haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textLast week, we toured the haunted streets of London's Whitechapel district and explored the hunting grounds of the world's most mysterious serial killer - Jack the Ripper. Since 1888, his identity has remained a mystery, with authors and self-proclaimed "Ripperologists" claiming they have all the answers. This week, we'll dig in to theories old and new and highlight the most compelling and the most ridiculous. New DNA evidence claims to have answered this mystery once and for all, but will we ever know who the Ripper really was? And do we really want to? Happy Haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textIn the summer of 1888, the streets of London were a bleak affair. The working class were desperate, thunderstorms ravaged the streets and in the early morning hours, a devil was terrorizing the sex workers of Whitechapel. Arguably the most infamous serial killer of all time, Jack the Ripper would claim the lives of five women, mangling their bodies in the streets and then seemingly disappearing into the night. In part one of this two part series, we'll dig into the histories of the poor women whose lives he stole, and question whether there were more victims than the official five. We'll follow his footsteps through London's dark streets and learn about the only key piece of evidence left behind. We'll end with the biggest mystery of all - who was Jack? You'll have to tune in next week to find out. Happy haunting! Get in touch! Follow us on instagram at @easybakecovenpodcastVisit our website at www.easybakecovenpodcast.comGot a spooky story?

We'll talk about the mysterious circumstances around Gene Hackman's death, and learn about how Aaron Goodwin very nearly went on a permanent Ghost Adventure.

Send us a textLast week, we joined the Donner Party on the first half of their journey from Missouri to California. When we last left them, they were camped out by Truckee Lake in the Sierra Nevadas, and snow began falling on their camp. The group could not know then what that snowfall meant, and the sad fate that would await them in the coming months. In the final installment of our Donner Party series, we will learn about the brutal winter of 1846, as the group fought for survival amid 20 feet of snow and unimaginably harsh conditions. We'll learn just what humans are capable of when faced with the worst adversity one can think of- both the good and the bad parts of humanity on display. And we'll learn about the strength this group mustered in the face of unthinkable suffering. This one is certainly not all sunshine and roses, but we'll do our best to find a laugh or two when we can, and a few lessons along the way! Lisey ends this episode on a bright note, sharing exciting news of some new furry additions to her family (and maybe a little insurance policy for those long, cold Alaska winters?) Happy Haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textIn the spring of 1846, over 500 covered wagons set off from Independence, Missouri, headed West towards a new life. They could not fathom the difficulties and harsh conditions they would encounter along their journey, and this was especially true for one group of pioneers, now infamously known as the Donner Party. Most have heard salacious headlines outlining the gruesome atrocities committed by the group, but not many know the equally fascinating story of the beginning of their journey. In part one of this two part series, we'll learn about the first 7 months of their crossing, from Illinois to the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. We'll hear the details of the brutal challenges they encountered on the Oregon Trail, and one fateful wrong decision that would come to cost many human lives.

Send us a textIt's Valentine's Day, coven! And nothing says true love like a woman saving herself from her abuser. The story of Lorena Bobbitt is a muddled one, evoking images of an angry, jealous woman who exacted her revenge by cutting off her husband's penis. The true story, however, is much more sinister. John Wayne Bobbitt, while quite simple-minded, was anything but innocent. In the words of Cell Block Tango, "He had it coming," just not in the way he hoped. Tonight, we'll explore John and Lorena's short and rocky marriage, dig into John's extensive history of abuse, and discover what Lorena did with that penis after she cut it off. We'll talk about each of their subsequent trials and learn where they are today in the aftermath of a case that rocked the nation. Happy Haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textCoven, you've heard us share our constant worry that we're both dangerously susceptible to joining a cult. This week, we're really putting our strong will to the test as we cover arguably the coolest cult we've ever heard of. It's got the first female truck driver in Brazilian history, it's got aliens, it's got astral projection, it's got super rad outfits, and it has friendly Jesus. What more could we ask for? In the 1950s, Neiva Chavez Zelaya had been suffering for years from disturbing visions and overwhelming out of body experiences that she couldn't explain. Eventually, she sought help from psychics and spiritual healers, and learned to harness what would become extraordinary gifts. She used these gifts to heal the poor and sick, and grew a following that would number in the hundreds of thousands. Will we soon count ourselves among those followers?

Send us a textIn July 1969, the United States beat the Soviet Union in the decades long Space Race, taking one giant leap onto the surface of the moon. Neil Armstrong's steps would go down in history as one of mankind's greatest achievements. But there are those who question whether it happened at all. Was our technology really up to the task? Or were we fighting a losing battle against the Soviets, desperate to hold on to our reputation? We'll explore the history of the Space Race and the two brains behind it all - Wernher Von Braun and Sergei Korolev. One a former major in the SS and the other a former prisoner of the Gulag. Both would use their knowledge of rocket science to advance space travel in ways we'd never before seen. We'll dig into conspiracy theories started by technical writer Bill Kaysing, and examine photos from the landing that people love to pick apart. In the end, we'll tell you where we each land.

Send us a textIn 2012, FBI agents arrested a man for the murder of Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, Alaska. What they didn't realize was that they'd apprehended one of America's most prolific serial killers: Israel Keyes. Citing a split personality, Keyes went on a crime spree across the country for fourteen years, robbing banks, burning down houses and taking lives. He buried kill kits across the country so he'd never miss an opportunity, and he got away with it for years. After his arrest in 2012, Keyes opened up about his past, but with a few major conditions. This week, we're digging into documents straight from the FBI and uncovering the life and crimes of one of America's lesser known monsters. Tune in for the final chapter of this two-part series.

Send us a textOn February 1, 2012, Samantha Koenig was taken from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. Her disappearance made no sense to investigators. There weren't signs of a struggle, she'd sent an angry text to her boyfriend, and security footage showed two people walking through a parking lot arm in arm. But when a ransom note appeared weeks after her capture, accompanied by a disturbing photo of Samantha, investigators were sure she was in danger. ATM withdrawals would take detectives thousands of miles away to Lufkin, Texas, where they'd arrest a killer who was more monster than man. Police weren't prepared for the psychopath they'd placed in custody, but they would soon uncover chilling horrors and resolutions to questions long unanswered. In part one of this terrifying story, we'll discover harrowing details about this lesser known serial killer and learn just how apathetic he was about his crimes.

Send us a textThroughout the entirety of this podcast, we've heard this question over and over: "If UFOs are real, why haven't more people seen them?" It's a valid question, and yet the more we learn about extraterrestrial activity, the more we realize that people have been seeing them! And sometimes even on a massive scale. This week we'll learn about two such examples, where dozens and even hundreds of folks saw the same thing around the same place and time. First, we'll travel to Western Massachusetts in 1969, where a hot September evening saw inexplicable lights and crafts over multiple towns. Next, we'll cover what is quickly becoming halee's favorite UFO sighting! We'll discuss the 1994 Michigan mass sighting, where hundreds of puzzled residents wondered what on earth they were seeing above their houses. We'll talk about radar data, listen to some seriously cool 911 calls, and hear halee's renewed passion for Ufology (and Paul Mescal). Not only do we want to believe... we do believe!

Send us a textJunko Furuta was a 17-year-old high school student with a bright future ahead of her. She was excelling in her senior year, had promising job opportunities and was excited to join her classmates on a trip after graduation. But on November 25, 1988, all that was ripped away when she was kidnapped and imprisoned for the next 44 days. Junko was tortured in unimaginable ways. Believing her captors were part of the Yakuza, she did as she was told so as not to endanger her family. She was raped, beaten, forced to eat roaches, kept from showering and set on fire. The boys who kept her prisoner humiliated and traumatized her at every turn. We'll reveal where her captors are now and question the decisions made in the courtroom. This episode comes with a trigger warning. It's one of the darkest stories we've ever covered, but Junko's story deserves to be told. Get in touch!

Send us a textOn February 9th, 2004, 21 year college student Maura Murray made a series of decisions that have haunted, puzzled, and captivated folks the world over for the past 20 years. Maura sent off an email informing her college professors that she would be out of town due to a death in her family, despite no such death having occurred. She packed up her car, withdrew money from an ATM, and headed north. Where was she headed and what was her plan? We may never know. In rural New Hampshire, Maura lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a snowbank. By the time officers arrived on the scene, her car was locked and Maura was nowhere to be found. Thus begins one of this country's most confounding unsolved mysteries.

Send us a textScary movie night has been an integral part of Lisey and Halee's relationship since its conception. What better way to celebrate spooky season than to bring you in on our most favorite tradition? Tonight we'll uncover the haunting stories that inspired some of our favorite horror flicks. We'll dig into the real life haunting that inspired Steven Spielberg's classic, Poltergeist. We'll knock on the door of room 217 at the Stanley Hotel, where Stephen King dreamed up his outline for The Shining. Of course, scary movie night would not be complete without diving into one of the highest grossing horror films of all time, The Exorcist.

Send us a textDearest coven, our newest spooky season tradition continues this week with a deep dive into our nation's motorways. Doesn't sound too creepy at first, but it turns out danger and ghouls are lurking at practically every corner out there. From the Devil's Highway in the south west, to a forested stretch of road once dubbed the 'graveyard for truckers' in the north east, we'll travel all around the country finding the most haunted roads. There are goat men, melon heads, skinwalkers, hellhounds, and all other manner of scary creatures out there just waiting for you. So the next time you find yourself on a deserted stretch of road late at night, lock your doors and say your prayers that you make it home safe. This one's an episode you may want to listen to from the safety of your own comfy couch, folks! Happy Haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textSpooky season is in full swing, witches, and what better way to celebrate than with a terrifyingly true ghost story. In the late 70s, a family of five in Enfield, England would experience one of the most prolific ghost encounters ever documented. Knocking could be heard throughout the house. Marbles were thrown from unseen hands. Furniture was moved across the room, and dozens of people were there to witness it. The haunting centered around Margaret and Janet Hodgson, both going through puberty, and it continued to escalate for the next two years. Janet started speaking in a different voice. She'd levitate from her bed and even claimed to move through walls. Was it ghosts? Or was it the results of a fractured family, with a young girl seeking attention? Maybe a little bit of both… Tune in to decide for yourself! Happy haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textSpooky season is upon us! And we're celebrating in style. It just didn't seem right to devote two entire episodes to news during the most special month of October, so instead, we're embarking on a new mini-series celebrating the best haunts from all 50 states. We're kicking things off in California, whose list of spooky specters is as long as the state is large. We'll explore deadly waters surrounding the Point Sur Lighthouse, peek behind closed doors at the Brookdale Lodge and uncover the mysteries of Bodie State Historic Park, aka the ghost town of our dreams. Of course, no California ghost tour would be complete without a stop at the infamous Alcatraz, where jail cells slam shut and glowing red eyes follow you in the dark. There's no shortage of haunts on tonight's episode, so grab your wine, light your candle and prepare to be scared! Happy haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textIn 1845, a crew of 134 men set out in search of the elusive Northwest Passage, hoping to find a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Armed with thousands of canned goods, gallons of lemon juice and a passion for adventure, they set forth on the HMS Terror and Erebus, ready for a taste of glory. Instead, they found themselves stuck at sea for more than three years, their ships encased in thick, unforgiving ice. When it refused to thaw in 1848, the men abandoned ship and headed out on foot in the hopes they'd find help and a way home. And then... they seemingly disappeared. It would take years before any trace of the men was found, and what was discovered were simply sun bleached bones, scattered in the wind. Today, much of the failed Franklin expedition remains a mystery, but a few clues have been realized, painting a grisly picture for the crew who gave their lives in pursuit of discovery. We'll discuss possible theories, dive into AMC's miniseries "The Terror" and uncover the shocking details that make this 140-year-old mystery so haunting. Elise can't get this one out of her head, and perhaps you won't be able to either. Northwest Passage cruise, anyone? Happy Haunting! Get in touch!

Send us a textDearest coven, by now you've probably learned to expect the unexpected on this podcast. That lesson will serve you especially well this week, as we cover all kinds of weirdness. Halee recounts her awkward grad school dating life, there are 8 year olds driving SUVs, and the Titanic is probably haunted. You'll hear our hot takes on affirmative action, we'll talk UFOs in Mexico and China, and get back into real estate drama- we just can't stay away! That's not even an exhaustive list of everything we're bringing this week.. because friends, you just never know what you're going to hear on Easy Bake Coven! Tune in and enjoy!Happy Haunting! 

Send us a textOn June 4th, 2004, Marvin Heemeyer embarked on a rampage in his fortified Komatsu bulldozer that would forever change the town of Granby, CO. But before Killdozer, there was Marvin the welder, who loved snowmobiling and being outdoors. How did this seemingly normal man go from well-loved community member to the manifesto spouting anti-government character in the headlines? This week we'll explore the origin of this sad and shocking story, and ask ourselves the important and difficult questions. Was Marv a folk hero or a lunatic? Is it possible he was a bit of both? You know we have strong opinions and we aren't afraid to share them! Tune in and form your own opinion about Marv and this wild story!Happy Haunting!

Send us a textOh coven, you're in for such a treat this week. You may have figured out last week from our subtle hints and spooky foreshadowing that we're bringing back a tried and true favorite- spooky hour! We finally tackle one of our shared obsessions... glitches in the matrix. Have you ever lost time that you couldn't account for? Had a strange occurrence that you just couldn't explain? Sometimes the answer is simpler than we might realize- we actually live in a simulation and sometimes there are errors in the code. There really isn't any better explanation for the stories we're sharing this week! We scoured the internet to find our favorite glitch in the matrix stories and can't wait to share them with you. Listen with your feet firmly planted on the ground or you may get sucked into this rabbit hole, folks! Happy Haunting! 

Send us a textAs the title suggests, this episode is anything but linear. We're taking you on a roller coaster ride of tangents, all the way from Elise's opinion on Longlegs to politicians helping the homeless. Of course we'll bring you some actual news, including one theme park's ridiculous law suit and the solving of a 40-year old cold case through DNA. In an episode of true tangents, we'll also discuss how DNA gets into the hands of law enforcement and ask whether we should be giving it away so willy nilly. Happy haunting! 

America's National Parks are as inspiring as they are humbling. Their vast landscapes provide a place for adventure and exploration, but solitude can turn deadly if you're not prepared. At 3.4 million acres, Death Valley is the most sprawling and desolate park in the Lower 48. Reaching temperatures of 134 degrees, much of its landscape is inhabitable and unforgiving. In 1996, four German tourists entered the park completely unprepared for the kind of topography and environment they'd encounter. When they missed their return flight home, the four were reported missing, seemingly without a trace. Three months later, their rented minivan would be found two miles down Anvil Canyon, with no clue as to where the four had gone. Thirteen years later, dedicated search and rescue volunteer Tom Mahood refused to give up on this decade-long cold case and set out on his own to uncover the truth of what happened to the “Death Valley Germans.” Was it aliens? A government coverup? Or does Mother Nature simply take no prisoners? You'll have to tune in to find out. Happy Haunting!

What a week, coven! From Irish moms giving orangutans nursing tutorials, to Floridians doomsday prepping in the worst way, there's plenty of strange news to discuss. We'll cover the latest in UFO sightings, the world's worst breakdancing, and most importantly, the shocking and fascinating story of a reincarnated 911 victim. You don't want to miss this weirdness, folks! Happy Haunting!  

It's time for another cryptid roundup, and this time we're heading to halee's homeland to learn all about two famous PNW sea monsters! First we'll talk about Caborasaurus, a long, creepy serpent with a horse's head that has been spotted hundreds of times in the Vancouver Island area (and beyond) in the past 200 years. Is it the real deal, or the desperate imaginings of 2 quasi-scientists? Next, we'll discuss a cryptid you've heard us mention before... the infamous Ogopogo. We'll dig into the First Nations origins of the story, and learn about how much cooler this lake monster was before it became commercialized. This week Elise surprises and delights with an unexpected treat that you won't want to miss... Tune in for all that and more! Happy Haunting! 

It's our first news update in what feels like forever! And you better believe it's a good one. We're covering crime-fighting eleven year old girls, babies who survive the unthinkable and idol culture in Japan. We'll hear about Halee's latest obsession - a self-published memoir laden with conspiracy theories, gifted by a fellow islander. Elise promises a future reading from a sure-to-be classic in erotic vampire fiction, and we'll give our opinions on the hotly debated Ballerina Farm expose. Need I say more? Happy haunting! 

We're back, witches! Did you think we'd leave you for months again? Not this time! We're diving back into the world of true crime with a cold case from Breckenridge, CO. Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer and Annette Schnee went missing within hours of one another on a snowy night in 1982. Their crime scenes would hold two key pieces of evidence that would have investigators asking if this was the work of one man. Premonitions, playing cards and episodes of Unsolved Mysteries would all play a part in solving this 40 year whodunnit, but the answers lay in DNA. And the results are nothing short of shocking. Happy haunting! 

Happy Friday, coven! This week brought all sorts of weird and wonderful news and of course we are here for it. We'll hear about the latest innovations in robot technology, and- spoiler alert- it's not great. We'll get some updates on Charlotte the stingray and Sherri Papini, and hear about a scandalous true crime story out of Boston. And then we'll ask the important questions- who is your dream dinner guest? And is God real? We'll tackle all this and more on this week's episode! 

In 2016, Keith and Sherri Papini appeared, by all accounts, to be a picture perfect family. They lived in a quiet suburb in northern California with their 2 beautiful children, and Sherri lovingly referred to their life as her 'happily ever after'. But when Sherri vanished without a trace on November 2, 2016, their lives would be turned upside down andf those around them would come to realize that all was not as it seemed. This week we're covering the stranger than fiction tale of Sherri's disappearance, and for fear of giving away too much, all we can say is you don't want to miss this truly twisted tale! Happy Haunting! 

The world is just as depraved as it was last news update, folks. Maybe even more so. And it seems a lot of the depravity resides in Florida! A man killed an entire family and then burned the evidence, but not before FaceTiming a friend with everything visible on camera. A woman murdered her boyfriend by zipping him up in a suitcase as she filmed his struggle, and later claimed she just fell asleep. There may be many criminals in the Sunshine State, but they're certainly not the brightest. Halee brings some updates regarding the pedo dad who drugged his daughter's friends, and reminds us that just when we thought Mothman couldn't get any sexier, he does. Tune in to get our latest hot takes and dumb jokes. Happy Haunting!

The world of the ooky spooky doesn't belong to cryptids, ghosts and aliens alone. Turns out, we humans are pretty spooky, too, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. The heart is synonymous with love and the soul. But what would happen If you received the heart of someone else? Would you still be you? Is it possible that you'd take on traits and attributes from your donor? Sounds crazy, right? Turns out, your cells might hold on to memories, and should you ever need an organ, those memories may become yours. This week, we're digging into science and learning the ins and outs of heart transplants. We'll hear insane stories from the families of heart donors and recipients and learn that there's clearly so much more to learn about our incredible bodies and the cells that we're made of. Happy Haunting! 

It's a most joyous occasion, coven! Your two favorite witches are reunited and recording together at last... and we are joined very briefly by 2 guests who will only make you appreciate our charm and wit even more! This week we have a great roundup of all the strangeness happening in the world. From UFOs and whatever the underwater version of a UFO is, to a plethora of true crime updates, to one of our favorite past times (making fun of Hilary Baldwin saying cucumber,) we have lots to talk about. And the tenacity and bravery to continue having the important conversations, even when we're targeted by advanced government tech that cut our power part-way through the episode, is nothing short of exemplary. It's full of excitement, drama, and spookiness, and you don't want to miss it!Happy Haunting!
