    Spirits in the Mist

    Spirits in the Mist

    Dive deep into North America's chilling waterway legends as we explore the eerie histories of Niagara Falls, Lake Lanier, and White Rock Lake. From the Screaming Tunnel's unsettling echoes near the world-famous Niagara Falls to Lake Lanier's ghostly apparitions and unexplained disappearances in Georgia, water sources prove to be reservoirs of both natural beauty and supernatural enigma. Venture further to Dallas's White Rock Lake, where the spectral Lady of the Lake roams, leaving behind tales of tragedy and mystery. These iconic locations serve as breathtaking attractions by day, but as night falls, their haunting legends resurface, ensuring thrill-seekers and paranormal enthusiasts are left both captivated and cautious.

    3. Tandem Dreaming

    3. Tandem Dreaming

    Zach and Olivia sometimes have the same dreams on the same night, and Victor is locked and loaded with his trusty dream bible, ready to get to the bottom of it. The Dream Team discusses Zach and Olivia’s tandem dream that inspired the podcast, as well as the one that occurred the night before the recording of this episode. They ask big questions, like, “can science explain this mysterious phenomenon?” “What is the Collective Unconscious?” And “why Zach is a ginger when he looks in dream mirrors?” Lastly, a dream about a poor, dusty rubber butt, and a frustrated Zach who just can’t seem to get it in.

    2. The Perfectly Upsetting Texture of Candy

    Victor reads a creepy dream from Reddit. The Dream Team gets spooked discussing liminal space, ARG’s, and what creatures might be lurking in the depths of the collective unconscious. Olivia shares a disturbing dream about a little candy duck who makes a horrifying nest and realizes it actually makes perfect sense. Zach shares an embarrassing dream about something rather, uh… personal. Maybe skip this one, mom.

    1. Every(astral)body Poops

    1. Every(astral)body Poops

    Everybody poops, and apparently everybody poops in their dreams. Victor has a poop dream about feeling secure in his relationship with Olivia, Zach gets uncomfortably familiar with a liquor store clerk, and Olivia disappoints her father at a pooping contest. A particularly fecal dream submitted by Abigail sparks a relatable discussion about breakups and new beginnings. One thing all four of these dreams have in common is that no bowel movement goes unwitnessed. There is no privacy beyond the veil of the waking world!
