OK, we're seeing a trend here. We're definitely on a friendly ghost kick after a certain doll who shan't be named.

Are you sitting down? It's about time we had the talk. When a mommy ghost and a daddy ghost love each other very much that's how a baby ghost is born!

You might need your EMF readers for this one because we've got two intense stories today. Em brings us the incredibly well-documented and terrifying (we mean beautiful) tale of Harold the doll while Christine tackles the freaking Zodiac Killer. Don't worry, our EMF definitely WASN'T GOING BATSHIT DURING RECORDING. We're fine. We think. We've also discovered we're unwittingly part of the haunted doll market and Harold might have overfilled Christine's wine glass... and that's why we drink! Please consider supporting the companies that support us! Get 500 high-quality business cards for just $9.99 from Vista Print by going to www.vistaprint.com and using promo code DRINK Get a free trial membership of Beach Body On Demand when you text DRINK to 303030Get $5 off your first month of Chegg Study when you go to www.chegg.com/drink and enter promo code DRINKGet your own 11x14 Canvas People print for free (just pay shipping and handling) when you text DRINK to 484848 Learn more about your ad choices.
