halloween stories

Join us for a special retelling of the Southern Appalachian folklore tale The Harry Toe story as Jackie gives her version of this Southern spooky folklore story! 

We'll also cover why ghost stories have always been a part of human culture and  unravel the mysterious tapestry of spooky tales, tracing their origins back to ancient civilizations and funeral rituals. 

We dive deep into the beliefs around spirits separating from the body upon death and the rituals that evolved to ensure these spirits wouldn't return to haunt the living. We also explore the fascinating tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas in Victorian England - a tradition born out of necessity for those who couldn't read or write.

Enjoy this special Halloween story for kids and adults for the holiday!

We celebrate Halloween this year by sharing your stories told to us at the Great Lakes Paranormal Conference this past September. Many of you shared with Scott and Mickey your personal paranormal experiences, and we share them here, in your own words. 

Wisconsin has often been referred to as the most haunted state in America, and this episode will demonstrate exactly why that is.

Enjoy, and Happy Halloween.  Sleep with one eye open!

Ever been curious about the best type of marijuana for our host Sam? Or wondered what Hercules and Zeta Warrior Princess could possibly have to do with a childhood fear of quicksand? We've got those answers and more in this fun and delightfully spooky episode of MinorityPlus1!

We kick off the show with a Halloween-themed discussion, reminiscing about our favorite costumes from years past and building up anticipation for this year's spooky getups. Giving a warm shout-out to Don, our previous guest, we smoothly transition into a lively chat about black-owned businesses and the marijuana scene in Jamaica, even receiving listener advice about the best strain for Sam. Keep your ears peeled for our hilarious horror game tales and our tribute to iconic figures in the entertainment industry. 

And what's a Halloween episode without a deep dive into our favorite horror movies, villains, and Stephen King's universe? Get ready for chills as we compare notes on the likes of Freddie Krueger, Michael Myers, and Jack Nicholson's performance in The Shining. Laugh along as we share irrational childhood superstitions and fears, and join the debate on the merits of horror movie book adaptations. We also dissect the Saw movies, debate horror movie serial killers, and open up about our own Halloween experiences. Finally, we touch on self-identity issues and the sensitive topic of Dwight Howard's sexual assault allegations. Tune in for a thrilling ride as we juggle fun, fright, and some serious chat in this episode of Minority Plus One.

Welcome to the 2022 Halloween special, Listeners! We're so excited to present this new, extended episode to you all.
 
This story is a direct follow on to Jamie Mortima's journey through a strange dimension of stained glass windows telling stories of shadowy, misremembered pasts and mirrors of sentient sand depicting future reflections! Will Jamie slip through the cracks, or will she finally see herself?

"Ninety years before we stand within a town of shame. 
A wretched hive of those that lie within the human name.
They didn’t know they'd no permission to procreate and tame.
Two played for freedom, one lost the game.
The scouts stalk in the darkness and the husband’s walkin’ lame.
He wrestled with his reasons to withdraw, himself insane.
Though hope lies in the distance, he felt it never came.
Mother's the marker, scouts kill for fame.
The Witch arrives, ritualized,  wolves scratching on the door.
They have her far outnumbered and yet they don’t know the score. 
In time they’d learn that Mortima lacked patience to her core. 

Wolves take advantage; this is war.

Luring, striking, casting, binding in the rising sun. 
The Wolven Scouts decreeing that the fight’s already won. 
They’ve poisoned Mother’s bloodstream, the child inside is done. 

You wanna save her? They get to run.

You wanna save her? 
WOLVES GET TO RUN!!"
