First, Cody talks about Passover and a possible explanation for all the plagues that came with it.  Then, Chris tells a creepy story where two little girls hear their names called by a ghost while eating Easter candy.

Then, Chris tells the tragic true account of a group of 16 Carmelite nuns who met a tragic end after refusing to denounce their faith during the French Revolution.

First, Cody discusses a conspiracy theory involving flares, balloons, and a man named Mail-o. Then, Chris talks about Dr. Lynne Kitei, a retired healthcare professional, who has given the world the best video recording of the incident.  Next, Cody shares a more current sighting - in 2019 - that is just as unexplained, and one which some have claimed to be associated with The Phoenix Lights.  Finally, Chris talks about two very different eyewitness encounters, one who saw it all from the ground, and a pilot who saw it from the air.

This week’s drinks consist of a Starbucks Frappuccino and Ruby Red Grapefruit with Rosemary Simple Syrup. <br /><br />Advisory: 0:00s-0:20s<br />Intro Music: 0:20s-0:45s<br />Topic: 0:45s-4:06m<br />Drinks: 4:06m-5:49m<br />History: 5:49m-13:22m<br />Ghost Pirate Baby: 13:22m-21:56m<br />Paranormal Pregnancies: 21:56m-27:58m<br />Trailer: 27:58m-28:48m<br />Ancestral Pregnancy: 28:48m-35:20m<br />Hybrid Children: 35:20m-42:38m<br />Skeptic: 42:38m-44:06m<br />Believer: 44:06m-46:22m<br />Creep of the Week: 46:22m-47:19m<br />Sign Off: 47:19m-48:57m<br />Outro Music: 48:57m-49:12m<br /><br />Original Music: “Halloween Pumpkin” found at <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com" rel="noopener">https://www.purple-planet.com</a><br /><br />To find other strange podcasts, follow our network: <a href="https://podmoth.network/" rel="noopener">https://podmoth.network/</a><br /><br />Links<br /><br />History:<br /><a href="https://cafemom.com/parenting/167230-25_pregnancy_beliefs_from_around/112808-pregnancy_in_germany" rel="noopener">https://cafemom.com/parenting/167230-25_pregnancy_beliefs_from_around/112808-pregnancy_in_germany</a><br /><a href="https://www.daytranslations.com/blog/pregnancy-beliefs-around-the-world/" rel="noopener">https://www.daytranslations.com/blog/pregnancy-beliefs-around-the-world/</a><br /><a href="https://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/birth-rituals-around-the-world/" rel="noopener">https://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/birth-rituals-around-the-world/</a><br /><a href="https://daddysdigest.com/article/why-is-sex-selection-and-determination-illegal-in-india" rel="noopener">https://daddysdigest.com/article/why-is-sex-selection-and-determination-illegal-in-india</a><br /><br />Ghost Baby:<br /><a href="https://www.ladbible.com/community/weird-woman-thought-she-had-a-pregnancy-scare-with-her-pirate-ghost-husband-20180214" rel="noopener">https://www.ladbible.com/community/weird-woman-thought-she-had-a-pregnancy-scare-with-her-pirate-ghost-husband-20180214</a><br /><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/07/14/she-says-she-married-pirates-ghost-she-wants-you-stop-calling-her-crazy/" rel="noopener">https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/07/14/she-says-she-married-pirates-ghost-she-wants-you-stop-calling-her-crazy/</a><br /><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/07/14/she-says-she-married-pirates-ghost-she-wants-you-stop-calling-her-crazy/" rel="noopener">https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/07/14/she-says-she-married-pirates-ghost-she-wants-you-stop-calling-her-crazy/</a><br /><a href="https://www.the-sun.com/news/22280/woman-who-married-ghost-of-300-year-old-johnny-depp-lookalike-pirate-selling-portrait-of-former-lover-after-split/" rel="noopener">https://www.the-sun.com/news/22280/woman-who-married-ghost-of-300-year-old-johnny-depp-lookalike-pirate-selling-portrait-of-former-lover-after-split/</a><br /><a href="https://daybreakonline.news.blog/2018/05/15/woman-who-claims-to-have-married-a-ghost-has-stunned-loose-women-viewers-by-claiming-they-had-a-pregnancy-scare/" rel="noopener">https://daybreakonline.news.blog/2018/05/15/woman-who-claims-to-have-married-a-ghost-has-stunned-loose-women-viewers-by-claiming-they-had-a-pregnancy-scare/</a><br /><br /><br />Pregnancy and Paranormal Activity:<br /><a href="https://ghostsnghouls.com/pregnancy-paranormal-activity/"...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2953</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>children,creepy,gay,haunted,hybrid,lgbt,lgbtq,paranormal,pirate,pregnancy,pregnant,scary,unexplained</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/ab12758f11fdabdab21ded2e7dae0754.jpg"/><itunes:season>5</itunes:season><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Mummy's Little Baby</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mummy-s-little-baby--48718881</link><description><![CDATA[In this week’s minisode, we bring you a couple of “childish” stories.

In our traditional(ish) V-day Special, we talk about crazy stories related to couples.  Coincidentally, Cody and Chris cover one story each, making it a couple of stories about couples.  In his story, Cody talks about a Chinese tradition called the Ghost Marriage, in which the dead marry each other in a bizarre ceremony involving paper furniture. This tradition even expands to the living, with women marrying dead men.  Then, Chris shares the unsolved, unexplained true-crime story known as the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, in which a man with a pillow-case mask murders necking couples on lover’s lanes.

Then, Chris talks all about the gigantic cephalopod known as the Kraken (it’s actually Norse, not Greek!).  Next, Cody shares a very funny legend about the god Thor and his day in drag.  Finally, Chris tells us about legends and beliefs centered around one of the most beautiful phenomena of nature: the Northern Lights. Creep of the Week is an article about Vikings in America.

Next, Cody tells us about his own personal Ouija experience, followed by the true story of a girl who killed a family member after being instructed by a summoned spirit.  Finally, Chris gets into a true Ouija experience in Spain that was the basis for the horror movie, Veronica.  Creep of the Week is a game that Cody plays with our guests.

First, Cody discusses the famous underwater island, Atlantis, full of riches, mystical creatures, and drrrrrrama. Then, Chris dives into the lost City of Z, a place that swallowed hundreds of explorers. Next, Cody talks about the ancient city of Crete, whose unexplained abandonment has spawned tons of interesting theories.

But the stories are pretty different, so guessing next week’s topic could be tough.

Then, Chris talks about the crazy last week in the life of master of macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, whose death has yet to be explained. Next, Cody shares the Dyatlov Pass incident, an insane story about a group of Russian hikers that includes tongue-removal, hypothermia, and even radioactive clothing. Finally, Chris talks about a family - complete with their Satanic Bible - that disappeared after possibly encountering some roof ghosts.

First, Cody talks about a story written by Edgar Allen Poe that eventually became a true story. Or did it? Then, Chris discusses a woman who “heard” an accident - involving her daughter - that happened over 20 miles away.

This week’s drinks are Prince Ali’s Fabulous Tea, and Odd Lot red wine.<br />    <br /><br />Advisory: 0:00s-0:12s<br />Intro Music: 0:12s-0:34s<br />Topic: 0:34s-3:52m<br />Drinks: 3:52m-5:55m<br />History: 5:55m-10:45m<br />The Paris Opera House: 10:45m-18:20m <br />Orpheum Theatre: 18:20m-23:55m<br />Sol Invictus: 23:55m-32:00m<br />Drury Lane: 32:00m-37:45m<br />Skeptic: 37:45m-41:40m<br />Believer: 41:40m-44:10m<br />Creep of the Week: 44:10m-47:04m<br />Sign Off: 47:04m-48:18m<br />Outro Music: 48:18m-48:31m<br /><br />Buy us a Kofi: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/I3I3Y27G" rel="noopener">https://ko-fi.com/I3I3Y27G</a><br />Join Our Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/360972658146154/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/360972658146154/</a><br /><br />Links:<br /><br />History-<br /><a href="https://seeksghosts.blogspot.com/2013/03/theatre-ghost-light-superstitions.html" rel="noopener">https://seeksghosts.blogspot.com/2013/03/theatre-ghost-light-superstitions.html</a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_light_(theatre)" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_light_(theatre)</a><br /><br />Paris Opera House-<br /><a href="https://www.messynessychic.com/2014/08/26/unmasking-the-parisian-phantom-of-the-opera/" rel="noopener">https://www.messynessychic.com/2014/08/26/unmasking-the-parisian-phantom-of-the-opera/</a><br /><a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/the-phantom-of-the-opera-is-based-on-a-book-from-1910-that-has-important-lesson-about-toxic-masculinity-8454817" rel="noopener">https://www.bustle.com/p/the-phantom-of-the-opera-is-based-on-a-book-from-1910-that-has-important-lesson-about-toxic-masculinity-8454817</a><br /><a href="https://www.quora.com/Was-the-novel-Phantom-of-the-Opera-based-upon-a-true-story" rel="noopener">https://www.quora.com/Was-the-novel-Phantom-of-the-Opera-based-upon-a-true-story</a><br /><br />Orpheum Theatre-<br /><a href="http://phoenixtheaterhistory.com/companies/orpheum-theatre/" rel="noopener">http://phoenixtheaterhistory.com/companies/orpheum-theatre/</a><br /><a href="https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/ghostly-guests-at-the-orpheum-theater" rel="noopener">https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/ghostly-guests-at-the-orpheum-theater</a><br /><a href="https://kjzz.org/content/211792/phoenix-orpheum-sets-spooky-scene-ghost-tour" rel="noopener">https://kjzz.org/content/211792/phoenix-orpheum-sets-spooky-scene-ghost-tour</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2912</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/c6cb9f6821dd4faca19df73ed96e7ccf.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Minisode 52 – Murder On Set</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/minisode-52-murder-on-set--44262865</link><description><![CDATA[In this minisode, we bring two stories with something (subtle) in common.

A lot of cruelty there happened - in the name of research - and disgruntled ghosts still walk the place.

Drinks are Dark Invader Cocktail and Precarious Pinot Noir.<br />   <br /><br />Advisory: 0:00s-0:12s<br />Intro Music: 0:12s-0:34s<br />Topic: 0:34s-3:29m<br />Drinks: 3:29m-4:55m<br />The Midnight Game: 4:55m-14:10m<br />One Man Hide and Seek Rules:  14:10m-21:53m<br />The Man in the Fields: 21:53m-28:48m<br /> One Man Hide and Seek experience: 28:48m-35:45m<br />Believer: 35:45m-39:20m<br />Skeptic: 39:20m-41:55m<br />Creep of the Week: 41:55m-48:18m<br />Sign Off: 48:18m-49:09m<br />Outro Music: 49:09m-49:22m<br /><br />Call Us: (928) 421-3721<br />Buy Us a Kofi: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/bspodphx" rel="noopener">https://ko-fi.com/bspodphx</a><br />Join our Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.Facebook.com/groups/BSPodPhx" rel="noopener">https://www.Facebook.com/groups/BSPodPhx</a><br /><br />Links<br /><br />The Midnight Game:<br /><a href="https://theghostinmymachine.com/2014/03/31/the-most-dangerous-games-the-midnight-game/" rel="noopener">https://theghostinmymachine.com/2014/03/31/the-most-dangerous-games-the-midnight-game/</a><br /><a href="https://www.quotev.com/story/3435188/My-Experience-With-the-Midnight-Game" rel="noopener">https://www.quotev.com/story/3435188/My-Experience-With-the-Midnight-Game</a><br /><br />One Man Hide and Seek: <br /><a href="https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/One-Man_Hide_and_Seek" rel="noopener">https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/One-Man_Hide_and_Seek</a><br /><a href="https://thoughtcatalog.com/jessica-calder/2018/09/6-paranormal-games-that-could-ruin-your-entire-life-if-you-dare-to-play/" rel="noopener">https://thoughtcatalog.com/jessica-calder/2018/09/6-paranormal-games-that-could-ruin-your-entire-life-if-you-dare-to-play/</a><br /><br />The Man in the Fields:<br /><a href="https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/The_Man_in_the_Fields_Ritual" rel="noopener">https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/The_Man_in_the_Fields_Ritual</a><br /><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/threekings/comments/8ynamf/man_in_the_fields/" rel="noopener">https://www.reddit.com/r/threekings/comments/8ynamf/man_in_the_fields/</a><br /><br />One Man Hide and Seek True Story:<br /><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1gngjh/dont_play_hitori_kakurenbo_aka_one_man_hide_and/" rel="noopener">https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1gngjh/dont_play_hitori_kakurenbo_aka_one_man_hide_and/</a><br /><br />Believer:<br /><a href="https://www" rel="noopener">https://www</a>.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2962</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/b030b57fdc6f83a9993e700859d19906.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Minisode 46 – Waking Charlie Divine</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/minisode-46-waking-charlie-divine--44262884</link><description><![CDATA[Here is a minisode that might easily tease our upcoming topic, but you tell us.  First, Chris talks about La Cegua, a South American creature who literally tears men apart, and how to summon her (EEK!).  Then, Cody tells the history of the Charlie Charlie Challenge, a summoning ritual that took the Internet by storm a few years ago.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.bspodphx.com/?p=622</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Feb 2020 06:00:34 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/44262884/minisode_46_haunted_games.mp3" length="17817034" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcast</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Here is a minisode that might easily tease our upcoming topic, but you tell us.  First, Chris talks about La Cegua, a South American creature who literally tears men apart, and how to summon her (EEK!).  Then, Cody tells the history of the Charlie...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[Here is a minisode that might easily tease our upcoming topic, but you tell us.  First, Chris talks about La Cegua, a South American creature who literally tears men apart, and how to summon her (EEK!).  Then, Cody tells the history of the Charlie Charlie Challenge, a summoning ritual that took the Internet by storm a few years ago.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1114</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/9adab86936ce9f366ac3a1011a45c73d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Episode 64 – Spectral Love and De' Nile</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-64-spectral-love-and-de-nile--44262889</link><description><![CDATA[In our third annual Valentine’s episode, we talk about spectrophilia (ghost lovin’!) and ancient fertility (Editor’s Note: This episode is insane!).

This week's drinks are the Barbie Mocktail and Smirnoff Ice Smash.<br />   <br /><br />Advisory: 0:00s-0:13s<br />Intro Music: 0:13s-0:34s<br />Topic: 0:34s-2:45m<br />Drinks: 2:45m-4:14m<br />History: 4:14m-10:19m<br />Elsa: 10:19m-17:10m<br />Letta Me Out: 17:10m-22:14m<br />Ruby: 22:14m-28:57m<br />Peggy: 28:57m-34:17m<br />Skeptic: 34:17m-38:45m<br />Believer: 38:45m-41:36m<br />Creep of the Week: 41:36m-45:15m<br />Sign off: 45:15m-46:15m<br />Outro Music: 46:15m-46:28m<br /><br />Buy us a Kofi: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/I3I3Y27G" rel="noopener">https://ko-fi.com/I3I3Y27G</a><br />Join Our Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/360972658146154/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/360972658146154/</a><br /><br />Links-<br /><br />History<br /><a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/history-creepy-dolls-180955916/" rel="noopener">https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/history-creepy-dolls-180955916/</a><br /><br />Elsa<br /><a href="https://www.click2houston.com/news/weird-news/2020/01/14/they-cant-let-it-go-haunted-elsa-doll-returns-to-houston-family-after-being-thrown-out-multiple-times/" rel="noopener">https://www.click2houston.com/news/weird-news/2020/01/14/they-cant-let-it-go-haunted-elsa-doll-returns-to-houston-family-after-being-thrown-out-multiple-times/</a><br /><a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/4agwaq/haunted-frozen-elsa-doll-allegedly-terrorized-innocent-family" rel="noopener">https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/4agwaq/haunted-frozen-elsa-doll-allegedly-terrorized-innocent-family</a><br /><a href="https://www.today.com/parents/haunted-elsa-doll-returned-after-being-thrown-out-twice-t171839" rel="noopener">https://www.today.com/parents/haunted-elsa-doll-returned-after-being-thrown-out-twice-t171839</a><br /><a href="https://www.fatherly.com/news/elsa-doll-haunted-throw-away-reappear/" rel="noopener">https://www.fatherly.com/news/elsa-doll-haunted-throw-away-reappear/</a><br /><br />Letta Me Out<br /><a href="https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/05/sinister-accounts-of-evil-haunted-dolls/" rel="noopener">https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/05/sinister-accounts-of-evil-haunted-dolls/</a><br /><a href="https://amyscrypt.com/letta-me-out-haunted-doll/" rel="noopener">https://amyscrypt.com/letta-me-out-haunted-doll/</a><br /><br />Ruby<br /><a href="http://weekinweird.com/2016/07/07/ruby-the-haunted-doll-meet-the-sad-artifact-which-shows-us-not-all-haunted-objects-are-evil/" rel="noopener">http://weekinweird.com/2016/07/07/ruby-the-haunted-doll-meet-the-sad-artifact-which-shows-us-not-all-haunted-objects-are-evil/</a><br /><br />Peggy<br />https:/...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2789</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/64f903e55e1d0b7a3a6c19ba98aa1e93.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Minisode 44 – The Ghost Wears Prada</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/minisode-44-the-ghost-wears-prada--44262937</link><description><![CDATA[In this minisode, Cody and Chris amp up the creep factor.

Cody then shares a story about how one girl was saved from Nazi gas chambers by a simple display of affection. Lastly, Chris discusses one man’s amazing journey, and how a job loss would change his future forever.

Next Chris discusses the Floating Heads of the Iroquois (differerent from the Rolling Heads from last week’s minisode). Cody then talks about the Wendigo, a cannibalistic creature that spawned a grisly true story. Finally, Chris shares a fascinating tale about the Legend of the Deer Woman, a shapeshifter who entices men to their doom (DOOM!). Creep of the Week is from Natalie Evans of the podcast “Some Kind of Brown.” Here, she tells us the beautiful myth of the Red Bird.

See if you can guess next week's full topic from these stories.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1035</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/c1e865b430f2c8f7eeef3349b4a27494.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Episode 56 – BSP: Live!</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-56-bsp-live--44262923</link><description><![CDATA[Welcome to our first show in front of a live audience! And what a special night it was! In this (longer than normal) episode, we were inspired by Freakshows and decided to talk about people with weird abilities. Once the audience settles down and we go through drinking game rules, Cody starts things off with the story of a woman who claimed she could smell Parkinson’s Disease… Yeah. Next, Chris talks about creepy faces, known as the Faces of Belméz, that are projected from a woman onto her kitchen floor. Cody then discusses two real-life firestarters. Speaking of fire, Chris’s next story is about John Irving Bentley, a victim of Spontaneous Human Combustion. Cody then shares the story that was the inspiration for our whole theme: The Minnesota Ice Woman. Chris finishes things up by discussing Mexican folklore (more specifically, a creature known as La Lechuza). For Creep of the Week, we are joined by our friend Liliana Espinoza, who shares a personal, touching story.

To get everyone in the Fall mood, Chris tells us about two basic AF, PSL-drinking girls known as the Yoga Twins (it’s a modern day Cain and Abel tale).

Yes, we are talking about time travel and time blips. First, Cody fascinates us by talking about John Titor, a man claiming to be from the future, where he fought in the next American Civil War. Next, Chris shares the famous story of Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, two women who went to the past, at the Palace of Versailles, and met Marie Antoinette.

Cody first talks about a child who returns to a previous life where he meddles in family affairs and then names his murderer! Then, Chris tells the fascinating story of Jenny Cockell (tee-hee!) and her past life as orphan Mary Sutton. After that, Cody discusses Barbro Karlen, who tells about her tragic and amazing past life as Anne Frank.

Cody first talks about a child who returns to a previous life where he meddles in family affairs and then names his murderer! Then, Chris tells the fascinating story of Jenny Cockell (tee-hee!) and her past life as orphan Mary Sutton. After that, Cody discusses Barbro Karlen, who tells about her tragic and amazing past life as Anne Frank.

To you science nerds, it’s glossolalia, xenolalia, and Foreign Accent Syndrome (listen in to learn what they are). In Cody’s first story, he discusses glossolalia as it relates to Megan Fox and Katy Perry (you read that right). Chris then turns to Reddit and reads someone’s personal experience with speaking in tongues. Cody’s next story has some supernatural aspects and deals with a woman who mysteriously starts speaking German. Chris’s last story comes from a science journal and tells of a Belgian woman who, one day, started sounding like she was from another country. They then discuss scientists in Glasgow, who have created an artificial whiskey-tasting tongue.

Drinks are Champagne and Prayers of Sinners Red Blend.<br />   <br /><br />Disclaimer: 0:00s-0:13s<br />Intro Music: 0:13s-0:36s<br />Topic: 0:36s-3m:53s<br />Drinks: 3m:53s-6m:06s<br />History: 6m:06s-10m:00s<br />Branch Davidians: 10m:00s-24m:30s<br />Gadgetology: 24m:30s-29m:19s<br />Podcoin: 29m:19s-30m:15s<br />Aetherius Society: 30m:15s-34m:55s<br />Vampire Clan: 34m:55s-39m:41s<br />Skeptic: 39m:41s-42m:46s<br />Believer: 42m:46s-46m:42s<br />Call to Action: 46m:42s-48m:05s<br />Plugs: 48m:05s-49m:33s<br />Outro Music: 49m:33s-49m:49s<br /><br />Join our Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/360972658146154/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/360972658146154/</a><br />Buy us a Ko-Fi:https://ko-fi.com/bspodphx<br />Email Us: <a href="mailto:BSPodPhx@gmail.com">BSPodPhx@gmail.com</a><br />Call Us: (928) 421-3721<br /><br />Links-<br /><br />History: <br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult</a><br />Gadget Hackwrench: <a href="https://medium.com/" rel="noopener">https://medium.com/</a>@thefandome/gadget-hackwrench-religion-or-how-a-fandom-reborn-into-a-cult-c66050342d64 <br /><br />Vampire Clan:<br /><a href="https://boredomtherapy.com/story-behind-clan/" rel="noopener">https://boredomtherapy.com/story-behind-clan/</a><br /><a href="https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/12/the-sinister-case-of-the-vampire-clan-murders/" rel="noopener">https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/12/the-sinister-case-of-the-vampire-clan-murders/</a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Ferrell" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Ferrell</a><br /><a href="https://rabrewster.com/2018/12/15/human-monsters-rod-ferrell-the-vampire-cult-killer/" rel="noopener">https://rabrewster.com/2018/12/15/human-monsters-rod-ferrell-the-vampire-cult-killer/</a><br /><br />Believer:<br /><a href="https://bigthink.com/culture-religion/four-cult-recruitment-techniques" rel="noopener">https://bigthink.com/culture-religion/four-cult-recruitment-techniques</a><br /><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/janja_lalich_why_do_people_join_cults/transcript?language=en#t-13195" rel="noopener">https://www.ted.com/talks/janja_lalich_why_do_people_join_cults/transcript?language=en#t-13195</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2990</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/ee8ada1fef6273aa6ae0bbd81471903b.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Minisode 31 – Wicker &amp; Worship</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/minisode-31-wicker-worship--44262926</link><description><![CDATA[Erhmagerd!

Drinks this week are Watermelon/Jalapeno Agua Fresca and Watermelon Salad Remnants with Jagermeister.<br />   <br /><br />Advisory: 0:00s-0:12s<br />Intro music: 0:12s-0:40s<br />Guest/Topic: 0:40s-5:00m<br />Drinks: 5:00m-6:58m<br />History: 6:58m-11:31m<br />Devil’s Pit: 11:31m-17:24m<br />Promo: 17:24m-18:31m<br />Devil’s Footprints: 18:31m-22:33m<br />Devil’s Tramping Ground: 22:33m-28:54m<br />Deal with the Devil: 28:54m-32:42m<br />Guest angle: 32:42m-34:53m<br />Skeptic: 34:53m-37:32m<br />Promo: 37:32m-38:30m<br />Believer: 38:30m-41:35m<br />Devil in the Game: 41:35m-45:55m<br />Plugs/Good Byes: 45:55m-47:13m<br />Outro Music: 47:13m-47:46m<br /><br />Original Music: “Berghain” by Monkey Warhol<br /><br />The Devil’s Trill Sonata: Ray Chen and Amsterdam Sinfonietta (reuse allowed)<br /><br />Links-<br /><br />History:<br /><a href="https://www.history.com/topics/folklore/history-of-the-devil" rel="noopener">https://www.history.com/topics/folklore/history-of-the-devil</a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil</a><br /><a href="https://www.mesacc.edu/~thoqh49081/StudentPapers/pan.html" rel="noopener">https://www.mesacc.edu/~thoqh49081/StudentPapers/pan.html</a><br /><br />The Devil’s Footprints:<br /><a href="https://reginajeffers.blog/2014/08/04/the-devils-footprints-a-devon-area-victorian-mystery/" rel="noopener">https://reginajeffers.blog/2014/08/04/the-devils-footprints-a-devon-area-victorian-mystery/</a><br /><a href="https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/10/12/the-1855-devils-footprints-mystery-in-devon-england/" rel="noopener">https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/10/12/the-1855-devils-footprints-mystery-in-devon-england/</a><br /><br />Tartini:<br /><a href="https://blog.primephonic.com/the-music-of-dreams-how-tartini-composed-his-famous-devils-trill-sonata-1" rel="noopener">https://blog.primephonic.com/the-music-of-dreams-how-tartini-composed-his-famous-devils-trill-sonata-1</a><br /><a href="https://aflockbetweenpastures.com/nodus-tollen/2018/3/2/r0o34lu7uusr3bb35io5fq2vju632m" rel="noopener">https://aflockbetweenpastures.com/nodus-tollen/2018/3/2/r0o34lu7uusr3bb35io5fq2vju632m</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2866</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/1c13963ca3e954f13275b78722367a4f.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Minisode 30 – Pride Paranormal 2</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/minisode-30-pride-paranormal-2--44262946</link><description><![CDATA[This is the second minisode of LGTBQ Pride Month.

Then, Derrick shares the tale of the mythical Thunderbird, a creature whose wingspan ranges from 1 inch to a billion feet. Finally, Chris shares two stores, one of the Ogopogo lake monster and the other of a mummy who attacks cars. Instead of BS Weekly, we engage Derrick in a game of Batsquatch or Sasquatch.

History covers pagan winter solstice traditions that many people still practice today. Cody starts us off with the Italian Christmas witch who comes to clean your filthy apartment, La Befana. Chris then shares a tradition that is not for the arachnophobic (like Cody. CODY NOTE: EEEK!). Cody follows that up with a scatalogical figure that appears in the manger.

History covers pagan winter solstice traditions that many people still practice today. Cody starts us off with the Italian Christmas witch who comes to clean your filthy apartment, La Befana. Chris then shares a tradition that is not for the arachnophobic (like Cody. CODY NOTE: EEEK!). Cody follows that up with a scatalogical figure that appears in the manger. If you remember the poop log from last year, this should be a treat. Finally, Chris tells us about a Mexican tradition that happens after Christmas and involves hiding Jesus in a cake.

In this episode, we discuss Native American cryptids and curses. First, Cody talks about the land the Amityville house is built on. It’s “definitely” on a burial ground. Chris then discusses a witchy cryptid known as Tah-Tah-Kle’-Ah that lives on forever in owls. Next, Cody talks about the short-lived (for good reason) Lake Shawnee Amusement Park where a ruffled pink ghost girl now roams. Chris’s second story is of a creature, the Pukwudgie, that sounds like it comes straight out of Pokemon. BS Weekly is a good lesson on how to survive the holidays with your family.

This weeks drinks are: Two Hats Beer and a variety of Pumpkin varietals.<br />   <br /><br />Advisory: 0-13s<br />Intro Music: 13s-41s<br />Topic: 41s-2:20m<br />Drinks: 2:20m-4:45m<br />History: 4:45m-10:43m<br />Cody’s Story: 10:43m-20:38m<br />Kale: 20:38m-24:45m<br />Samhain: 24:45m-32:03m<br />Dia de Los Muertos: 32:03m-37:54m<br />Believer: 37:54m-40:30m<br />Skeptic: 40:30m-43:48m<br />BS Weekly: 43:48m-45:51m<br />Sign Off: 45:51m-47:16m<br />Outro Music: 47:16m-47:49m<br /><br />Original Music: “Berghain” by Monkey Warhol<br /><br />Links<br /><br />History:<br /><a href="https://www.history.com/topics/halloween/history-of-halloween" rel="noopener">https://www.history.com/topics/halloween/history-of-halloween</a><br />Dia de los Muertos:<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead</a><br /><a href="https://www.morphsuits.com/blog/the-history-of-dia-de-los-muertos/" rel="noopener">https://www.morphsuits.com/blog/the-history-of-dia-de-los-muertos/</a><br /><br />All Souls’ Day:<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Souls%27_Day" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Souls%27_Day</a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_cake" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_cake</a><br /><br />Samhain:<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain</a><br /><a href="https://www.free-witchcraft-spells.com/samhain-divination.html" rel="noopener">https://www.free-witchcraft-spells.com/samhain-divination.html</a><br /><br />Believer:<br /><a href="https://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/19180210p01.html" rel="noopener">https://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/19180210p01.html</a><br /><br />BS Weekly:<br /><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2018/09/20/sexy-handmaids-tale-halloween-costume-sparks-outrage/1375851002/" rel="noopener">https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2018/09/20/sexy-handmaids-tale-halloween-costume-sparks-outrage/1375851002/</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2870</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/73f60fbbfae0406e61e7a60bfc99e9f4.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Minisode 11 – A Month of Boos</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/minisode-11-a-month-of-boos--44323830</link><description><![CDATA[In this minisode, Chris and Cody kick off a month of Halloween episodes!

Today’s Drinks of Choice are: Pineapple Crush vodka and Olde English (yet again).<br />   <br /><br />Advisory: 0-13s <br />Intro music: 13s-43s<br />Topic: 43s-2:45m<br />Drink: 2:45m-5:00m<br />History: 5:00m-18:45m<br />Strange Happenings: 18:45m-26:48m<br />Merle Partridge: 26:48m-30:15m<br />Mothman in Chicago: 30:15m-34:30m<br />Tragic Events: 34:30m-34:38m<br />Believer: 35:50m-37:35m<br />Skeptic: 37:35m-50:30m<br />Goodbyes: 50:30m-52:00m<br />Outro: 52:00m-52:33<br /><br />Original Music: “Berghain” by Monkey Warhol]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3153</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/dcd0de036d064191e4e746171b5db03b.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Minisode 8 – Cryptids in Appalachia</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/minisode-8-cryptids-in-appalachia--44323841</link><description><![CDATA[In this minisode, Chris and Cody talk about two weird a** cryptids found in or near the Appalachians.

Cody grills Chris with questions about the show, while Chris ups the ante and plays “How Well Do You Know Your Co-host” with Cody (hint: Cody kicks butt).

Irish fellows Eddie and Paddy from the Bayk Podcast join BSP for some spooky Ireland fun. Eddie tells us about the Banshee, while Paddy and Cody share their personal experiences with her. Paddy also discusses a very personal story about an Irish ghost (it gave everyone chills). Chris talks about a moving statue and weird Irish cryptids that roam the rivers. Cody debunks the banshee with audio evidence, while Chris uses scientific statistics for his belief. Instead of BS Weekly, Chris and Cody play the game Which Irish Creature Am I with Eddie and Paddy.

Chris delves into the origins of triskaidekaphobia (pronounced “Aeijdklj#$@#$kjoei”), or fear of the number 13. He shares the story of a composer so afraid of the number, he does some really stupid things. Cody discusses the sexist origins of triskaidekaphobia and tries to recreate a period. He also talks about the world’s unluckiest murder, committed on Friday the 13th.

Chris delves into the origins of triskaidekaphobia (pronounced “Aeijdklj#$@#$kjoei”), or fear of the number 13. He shares the story of a composer so afraid of the number, he does some really stupid things. Cody discusses the sexist origins of triskaidekaphobia and tries to recreate a period. He also talks about the world’s unluckiest murder, committed on Friday the 13th.

They share their experiences from beginning to end, including the psychic’s profession of angels, and more importantly, her amazing wallflower bench.
