Grab your EMF detectors, your rosaries, and your questionable life choices because this episode is a fever dream. Lauren and Courtney dive headfirst into the Lizzie Borden House—yes, that one—where good ol’ Lizzie allegedly played Fruit Ninja with her parents in Fall River, Massachusetts. We dramatically (and with zero rhythm) recite the infamous poem:
Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks; When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one.
(We’re still unclear who was counting, but they deserve a medal.)
After a chaotic séance-level deep dive into Lizzie’s ghostly hangouts, we switch gears—and vibes—into the eerie world of Slender Man. We unpack the creepypasta that gave 2010s kids trust issues, discuss the terrifying Waukesha, Wisconsin stabbing, and try not to accidentally summon the faceless noodle man himself.
Somewhere mid-discussion, Lauren freezes mid-sentence because she feels a finger drag up her spine. Seconds later, Courtney feels it too—because why have normal recording sessions when you can be haunted in real time? Cue the collective panic and audio chaos.
Also, please enjoy Courtney’s ongoing battle with the word particularly. It’s her personal Mount Everest. Spoiler: she loses.
So light a candle, lock your doors, and press play, because this episode is 50% paranormal investigation, 50% chaotic energy, and 100% proof that ghosts have terrible timing.
