And That's Why We Drink

July is here and we are turning warts into wine with our ParaPods Network pals Rach and Jeri from the podcast For Better and Worse! Today we're sharing a batch of wild and slightly terrifying stories about skeptic partners, featuring bedside EMF detectors, ghost fingerprints, several woman spirits that will haunt our dreams, and even one encounter that left a skeptic with a whole new perspective on the afterlife. And does anyone else have partners that sleep like Victorian children or is that just us? …and that’s why we drink!Want to hear more from Rach and Jeri?

It’s Episode 487 and today Em is joined by guest host Steven Ray Morris while Christine is away! To kick us off Em tells us the lore of the Buena Park Monster (aka Buena Foot), a sewer dwelling sasquatch near Knotts Berry Farm. Then Steven brings us a creature related crime story with the tale of the Bone Wars aka the feud between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, truly a tale for the ages. And is New Jersey just a trashy Lord of the Rings? …and that’s why we drink!
