Welcome to episode 56, featuring a surprise ghost story from Em’s stepmom! Oh, and a full episode of creepy.

It’s episode 53 and the gasp is back. This is maybe our scariest episode yet. Em covers Christine’s favorite topic, Black Eyed Kids (BEKs), whose eyes are voids as black as Em’s heart. Meanwhile, Christine covers the totally bananas story of Dolly Oesterreich and her “Bat Man” lover, who just wanted to drink bathtub gin and write pulp fiction, but ended up being arrested for murder.

Thank you guys for one whole year of great listener stories! We can hardly believe it. Tune in for some of our creepiest tales yet, featuring an unsolved murder, a tall ghostly man, and more.

Get ready because who knows what the hell is going on in this episode. First off, Em covers the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, one of Canada’s most popular haunted locales. It features several ghosts, including one named Sam who may or may not wear a kilt, a phantom bride who fell down the stairs to her death on her wedding night, and three shadow people that were once the victims of a tragic murder-suicide. Christine’s story, though just as dark, takes a weird turn when she covers famous 90s Club Kid Michael Alig, who bashed his friend in the head with a hammer, poured Draino down his throat, and then decapitated him. What a (horrifying) world we live in. And that’s why we drink… Please support our sponsors!  Become a Fabletics VIP member and get two pairs of leggings for only $24 at www.fabletics.com/drink!

This episode is a doozy. First, we find out Em’s post-life-tiny-house-minimalist agenda when Em covers the South Shield Poltergeist, who tortured an English family the creepiest way possible, with children’s toys. And guys, get ready for a big one - Christine covers our pal Ted Bundy, the charming sociopath who killed AT LEAST 36 people, likely more. This episode is sponsored by:Ziprecruiter - Our listeners can post jobs on ZipRecruiter for free by visiting ZipRecruiter.com/drink!Hello Fresh - Use promo code DRINK30 for $30 off your first week of Hello Fresh! Fabletics - Go to Fabletics.com/drink and get two pairs of leggings for just $24!

SASSY THE CLOWN IS BACK! In a big way. In episode 50, Em covers Loftus Hall, which is arguably Ireland’s most haunted locale. It once housed the devil himself, cloven hooves and all. Meanwhile, Christine covers the unexplained disappearance and deaths of the Jamison family in 2009. There are plenty of theories, each one more bizarre than the last.  Big thanks to this week’s amazing sponsors, Lola and Fabletics.  Visit www.mylola.com and use promo code DRINK when you subscribe for 60% off your first order!  Become a Fabletics VIP member and get two pairs of leggings for only $24 at www.fabletics.com/drink!
