Hi gang! Merle and I are back from our travels, and we could record this episode about the haunted place we visited. The notorious 108 Mile Ranch Heritage Site. It's known for murders, mayhem and grumpy spirit in a Clydesdale Barn. BTW: Shout out to Randi on her nuptials!
We kick off with our investigation in the 105 Mile House, barn and Post House. This time, we had Paisley Town join us as a psychic investigator. She picked up the spooky in various spots around the site. Then, Merle has an encounter on that notorious catwalk with The Dude. Afterwards, Jake decides to sleep in the most haunted place there, the Post House. Let's just say ... things happen while the boy is dead asleep (pun intended).
Tune in because we play all the evidence.
To finish off, we talk about the Cari-BOO-Con, and Merle reviews his new Hex Box.

In Des Moines, Iowa, a group of teenage girls dare one of their friends to summon Bloody Mary. It all seemed to follow the traditional urban legend ... until it came to blow out the candle.
Later, we examine the original legend, how this encounter differs, and how a new tradition may spring from it. Plus, who knew Iowa was such a hotbed of Bloody Mary activity?!
