    E78 Glamis Castle

    Merry Christmas y'all! Thank y'all for being with us for another year, it's our 3rd birthday!

    This is an episode I have been looking forward to doing!  Glamis is an ancient castle that has it all! A monster heir, a grey lady ghost, clashes of clans, people getting walled up alive...  Oh and it kinda looks like Hogwarts.  Also it's the home to the Queen Mother's family.  Anyway!  I hope y'all enjoy this episode.
