In this episode Annie and Jenny creep into the spooky holiday of Halloween and its roots in the ancient Scottish festival of Samhain. A time when the veil between the worlds is thin and fairies, ghouls, and spirits of the dead are able to slip through into the realm of the humans, and their podcasts. Youth of times past would use this time to look forward into their own futures and their weird and wonderful techniques are explored. To celebrate the scary side of this holiday we tell a truly frightening traditional tale of the highland vampire fairy witches and a big black dog, with Jenny’s own spin, of course.
