Adrienne shares a weird experience in a converted hotel to apartment in the Tenderloin, a rancher preparing for rapture in a custom coffin, and haunted strip clubs in San Francisco. Keri talks about growing up in Las Vegas abundant in bizarre urban legends, haunted hotels, and possibly the most generous Yelp review ever for a ghost possession.    Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun is now on YouTube!

Pretty sure this episode is cursed - half a dozen technical difficulties later, we proudly present our Halloween special! Tonight's wine-fueled discussion is all about our favorite Halloween memories, Bloody Mary and other spooky slumber party games, haunted hotels and more before the train derails.  (This episode also exists as a video over at YouTube btw, so be sure to check that out too!)

It's cryptid time! Keri shares her favorite yeti story involving Jimmy Stewart, a weird giant bird sighting, and some U.F.O.s in the desert, and then she gets a little off topic but then Adrienne reels it back in with California cryptids. Adrienne talks about Lake Tahoe Tessie and the Lone Pine Mountain Devil, and explains bipeds. Then Keri goes off topic again with more U.F.O.s and her obsession with giant birds, a story about a shapeshifting wolf creature from Fresno, and some creepy ass roadside spectres in New Mexico.
