We hope everyone is staying safe out there! For this episode, we decided to focus on other pandemics - screw you, Covid! - that had paranormal consequences. First, Cody talks about people who’ve gotten freakishly sick after paranormal encounters. This story has throwbacks to four past episodes: Men in Black, Shadow Men, Slenderman, and Black-Eyed Kids! Then, Chris talks about Poveglia Island, a secluded island where people with the Bubonic Plague were shipped without mercy (naturally, it’s super haunted after so much ickiness). Next, Cody dives into Waverly Hills Sanitorium, a “hospital” where people with tuberculosis were sent. A lot of cruelty there happened - in the name of research - and disgruntled ghosts still walk the place. Finally, Chris shares the true story of Typhoid Mary, a cook who refused to stop working, and ended up infecting a ton of people. Her ghost is said to still walk the earth! Drinks this week are peach lemonade and Shock Top white ale.
