In this week's episode, the crew is excited to celebrate their 100th episode milestone! We want to say a big thank you to all of our listeners for sticking with us and joining us on this crazy ride of a podcast, we couldn't have done it without you! As for the topic of this momentous episode, Abby and Shawna decided to collaborate on a natural disaster they both find equally terrifying: Earthquakes and tsunamis. In March 2011 in the country of Japan, a massive 9.1 earthquake would strike just off the coast, sending the Japanese residents reeling from the intense shaking. Sadly, many of them would have less than a half hour to recover as a monstrously large tsunami was now barreling towards their coast and the land beyond. The events that followed would be a devastating blow to the country of Japan and the most costly natural disaster in world history. Stick around for Shawna's follow-up segment on the paranormal activity caused by those who perished in the event known as tsunami ghosts.
