Tales of Two Cuckoos

New year, new tales! First, Megan sorts through the facts and falsehoods surrounding the Flannan Isles Lighthouse disappearances. Hint: it's not nearly as mysterious as we'd like to believe. Next, Brit discusses the unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey. Everyone has an opinion on this case (including us), but ultimately we'll probably never know what happened due to the worst investigation ever.

First, Megan paints a more multifece- er -faceted portrait of the greatest composer of all time. Dramatic readings from his own letters are one reason you don't want to miss this episode, but the main attraction is probably the fact that Mozart walked so Cardi B and Megan thee Stallion could run. Then, Brit takes us on a magical holiday journey through the past 100 years of gift crazes. Get into the spirit of the season as you reminisce about that time a store associate got trampled to death so some child could wake up Christmas morning to a Tickle Me Elmo

First, Brit brings the cheer of the holiday season with a history of capital punishment in the U.S. and the last meal details you never knew you wanted. If you love fried food, you share at least one thing in common with a lot of serial killers.

First, Megan attempts image rehabilitation on Elizabeth Bathory, aka the Blood Countess. We should really be calling her the Boss Countess. Feel free to fight us on this, but only after you listen to the evidence. Next, Brit shares the disturbing history of Robert the Doll. If you like haunted objects whose activities range from benign furniture flipping and cute teleportation all the way to trying to kill a woman named Myrtle and ruining people's lives, this one's for you. Warning: do not disrespect Robert; we are not responsible for the consequences of your actions. Happy Halloween!

First, Brit talks about the history of the ouija board. From Victorian spiritualists to bored preteens at sleepovers, talking boards have been fascinating the masses for hundreds of years. Suck it, Monopoly. Next, Megan spills the tea on Peter Stubbe, the Werewolf of Bedburg. Was he a crazed serial killer, an innocent scapegoat, or a bloodthirsty belt-powered lycanthrope backed by the devil himself? We think it's probably option 3, but feel free to weigh in.

Well, this is awkward. But we have to address the cuckoos in the room. We're back (after another hiatus) with new tales, a new name, and a new look. Listen in for an explanation; we think you'll find the changes are for the better! First, Megan breaks the ice with the Arctic account of the lost Franklin Expedition. If you've ever tasted shoe leather, please write to us and weigh in with your opinions. Then, Brit shares electrifying tale of Dannion Brinkley - a man who went “from dick to dude” after being struck by lightning. Mysterious beings, a long tunnel, psychic visions - what more could you ask for? If this episode leaves you thirsting for more tales, subscribe, rate, review, and share!

First, Brit shares the lore around the Devil's Tree in Somerset. This might oak has a dark history and is known to spook and even endanger its visitors. For real, do not disrespect this tree. Then, Megan tells the take of the last New England vampire, Mercy Brown. Before coronavirus, there was tuberculosis. And it led the people of 1800s New England to do some crazy things.

First off, Brit treats us to the WORST tour ever of the City of Angels (unless you're in to puppets and garbage). Her tale is one of a mysterious Hollywood death that will leave you wanting to do some investigation of your own! Next, follow Megan to Beantown for an account of a sticky situation. Don't mess with molasses, folks. It could actually kill you. If this episode leaves you thirsting for more tales, subscribe, rate, review and share!

If you like listening to people mispronounce words, boy do we have an episode for you! First, Megan tells the story of the lost Roanoke Colony and tries again to get our 12 listeners excited to visit an aquarium. Where are our aquarium enthusiasts at?!?! Next, Brit shares the sad and strange backstory of the Mercer-Williams house. The vibes are a little bit tragedy, a little bit Gatsby, a little bit tiger king, and a little bit spooky (if you believe in that sort of thing ;)).

3rd time's the charm! Our mics are both working, we're not yet quarantined, and our tales are wild. First, follow Brit to New Orleans, LA for a grand tour of the LaLaurie mansion. Hers is not a story for the squeamish, but if you're into twisted, gruesome stuff this is the week for you! Next, Megan sort of lightens the mood with facts about the mysterious shipwreck of the SS Morro Castle in Asbury Park, NJ. We may never know the whole truth, but signs point to one slug-lipped suspect. If this episode leaves you thirsting for more tales, subscribe, rate, review, and share!

Hold on to your "plantoons" caus we're back for episode 2! Brit takes us to Fall River, Massachusetts to recount the grisly story of Lizzie Borden and shares surprisingly wholesome reviews of the bed & breakfast. Megan, who has agreed to do this on a weekly basis, spills the tea on the absurd 1904 St. Louis Olympics men's marathon. Seriously. Absurd.

In our inaugural episode, we spin yarns from Baltimore, MD and Allentown, PA. Megan shares the facts and theories surrounding the mysterious death of Edgar Allen Poe and provides unsolicited advertising for the National Aquarium. Brit talks about the history of the Allentown State Hospital (featured in the M. Night Shyamalan's "Glass"!) and gets spooky with some personal experiences.
