First Meg covers a request about the haunted caves of Minnesota, and her tale about the Wabasha Street Caves (spoiler - Meg horribly mispronounces the name of the caves throughout the whole episode, so sorry about that!) in St. Paul leads to a discussion about what each TNG co-host's gangster name would be. Then Rose FINALLY covers her cryptic boyfriend Mothman and teaches us all that he actually is a much darker creature than initially meets the eye (he's an omen of death?! he can give you psychic powers?!). Lastly, Anna discusses the conspiracy around the Denver International Airport which involves oddly apocalyptic symbols all around it, including our good ol' buddy Blucifer....you're gonna have to listen to learn more about him.
