For our first Halloween episode of the season, we go on an excursion to haunted Scotland with friend and author, Jacqueline E. Smith (link below). First, Cody tells us about the spirit of a girl named Annie and her Harry Styles obsession at Mary King’s Close. Then, Jackie discusses Greyfriars Kirkyard and the spirits that still linger there, namely one who literally scars people. Finally, Chris tells two stories about vampires: a creepy priest vampire and a 7-foot-tall one with metal teeth. In Creep of the Week, Chris gives updates on the Lochness Monster. This week’s drink/food are St. Arnold Oktoberfest and Apricot/Walnut Scones.<br />    <br /><br />Advisory: 0:00s-0:12s<br />Intro Music: 0:12s-0:38s<br />Topic: 0:38s-5:15m<br />Drinks: 5:15m-7:40m<br />History: 7:40m-13:20m<br />Abandoned Annie: 13:20m-26:24m<br />Greyfriars Kirkyard: 26:24m-38:00m<br />Scottish Vampires: 38:00m-46:29m<br />Skeptic: 46:29m-50:013m<br />Believer: 50:13-53:08m<br />Creep of the Week: 53:08m-54:55<br />Sign Off: 54:55m-57:18m<br />Outro Music: 57:18m-57:39m<br /><br />Original Music: “Halloween Pumpkin” found at <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com" rel="noopener">https://www.purple-planet.com</a><br /><br />Jacqueline E.
