Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here!
Are you enjoying your Friday the 13th? Check out our entire episode about the unluckiness of the day itself and what it has to do with the Knights Templar!
In this week’s episode we flirt with paranoia as we explore strange superstitions and weird folk rituals from around the world, covering everything from why you shouldn’t whistle at night to the dread of spilling salt and why some cultures think throwing babies off a 30-foot temple is good luck. In the extended show we discuss wryneck wheels, whistling in the woods, faery lore and the cursed German Submarine UB-65! We also read some pirate poetry, speculate about fairy abductions, Mexican owl witches and why breaking a mirror is seven years bad luck. Thank you and enjoy the show!
