Ain't No Such Thing is BACK after a one-year hiatus, with the story of The Casket Girls, "undesirable" women from the early 18th Century shipped from France to the U.S. Gulf Coast cities of Mobile, Biloxi and New Orleans for the sole purpose of providing mates to European explorers and fur traders, so that the Catholic population in the New World would propagate. Over the centuries, rumor and happenstance left these women with a supernatural reputation, ultimately attaining their legendary status as actual vampiric undead.Join Amanda, Jess, Erica and Kevin as we catch you up on where we've been for the past year and consider the strange, very real case of The Casket GirlsJoin our Facebook group for exclusive insights and art based on our stories: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aintnosuchthingAin't No Such Thing © Inverse Press, LLC

In 1948, a northern Indiana farmer encountered something in his lake that terrified him, a turtle so large those who witnessed it later compared it to the size of a small passenger car. His successor on the farm went so far as to use baited traps, send down divers, and even drain the 7-acre lake in his obsession with proving the monster turtle's existence. Did he find it? Did he prove it was real? To find out, you'll have to listen to Amanda Rachels and Ain't No Such Thing writers, Erica J.

Even the most skilled snake hunters take great care in the Everglades. Legends of monster gators and snakes and boars bounce around the bars and the message boards like rumors of cheating county commissioners, but every once in a while...every now and then...one of them legends turns out to be true. When a group of long-time herpers (reptile hunters for you rookies) head into the Glades to collect one of those legends after one of them actually sees it alive, what they find is far more monstrous than anything they could have expected.Betty & Veronica is written by Erica J.

This week's episode kicks off Horror Month at What Did We Miss? with four straight weeks of creepy, crawly episodes. Kicking things off is the 1974 slasher classic, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which introduced to world to director Tobe Hooper and one of cinema's most enduring horror icons, Leatherface. For Matt, this is easily an all-time favorite. For Tony, well, he saw the remake if that counts (it doesn't). In this episode they discuss the origins of the film and Matt's relation to it, the surprising amount of humor, how the remake's excessive grime oversold the idea of the movie's murder house, how a lack of gore does not a PG-rated movie make, and the some of the stunning imagery that - much to Tony's surprise - made this a gorgeous grindhouse slasher flick.
