It's the new year, but it's also the same mid audio. (I'm sorry I did the best I could)

Welcome to 2026, the year where we hope things go well and that we can get some decent audio ( I promise, we are trying to). This week Meredith brakes out the history book and brings us a spiritual predecessor to the show. We discuss a haunted wine cabinet, better known as the Dybbuk Box. 

We also start the year off with a refreshin...

Have you ever wondered if your Grandma hates you? Well if she gives you a cursed painting, she does. 

Emma teaches us about a creepy painting called "The Anguished Man". A supposedly haunted (or cursed)  painting with unknown origins. We are going to find so many things wrong with this story, just get ready for it 

The drink this week is right on theme with the story too. It's a cursed recipie since it called for one o...

Find the maps and grab the road snacks, it'll be a while until we stop for gas. 

Other than the stupidly high cost of health care there is nothing more American than a good old fashion road trip!  With some of the states being larger than some countries there is a lot to see out there. But what we are seeking are the weirdest cryptids that we can find. Meredith take the driver's seat this week as she walks us through some ...

Out of the oven and into the friar in this episode.

This week it's a Halloween episode, and we are heading into the Empire of the Dead and we may or may not return. It all depends on if we are prepared and bring enough batteries for our cameras. Emma is our guide as we venture into the catacombs and discuss their significance throughout history. But the catacombs are best known as a place where million of bodies have covered th...

If there is few things Charlie Daniels taught us about the Devil is that he isn't the best fiddle player, and that he deals at cards.

Our spooky season continues this week, and it's a special time here in the Spirit's studio. We are approaching the One Year Anniversary of the Show being published and it means the world to us that we can share our little stories with you. So thank you!

This week we learn just why Meredi...

This week we dive deep into the important, philosophical questions of life. But like always, we answer nothing. But Emma's computer chose to die part way though recording so sorry for the bad half of the audio.

It's the beginning of October, that means two things; It's spooky season and it's also Spooky Lake Month. This week Emma sets the bar high by doing the bare minimum, But then she drops the bar lower since ...

At first you don't succeed, do not try again. Sometimes it's best to just quit.

This week takes us up to the Big Apple, specifically The Bronx in the 1930s, when prohibition was in full swing and everyone had the greatest of depressions. Meredith brings us another Curious Case. This particular case being of  Irishman Michael Malloy who just would not die no matter how much wood alcohol or shrapnel sandwiches he consumed. I...

Well, we have a few things to share this week, but mostly we learned that if the British were to give back all their museum pieces they would just have an empty building.

It's a expensive week here in the Spirit's Studio, Emma does last minute cocktail change and Meredith is just trying her best. But a cocktail will make it all better. This week Emma brings us the Blue Diamond cocktail, very blue, very pretty drink. If you...

I don't know how to describe this episode, but here is the short and sweet of it. This week Meredith brings us into the world of coincidences and synchronicities. While Emma and Meredith sit and ponder things that would make our philosophy 101 professors happy. 

While sharing stories Meredith Introduces us to a lovely cocktail, very appropriately named Serendipity. A cocktail with apple brandy as the base with apple juice and f...

Folks, I'll be honest it's been struggling to write a description for this episode. It's past my bedtime and I forgot how far off the rails this episode gets.

When I say off the rails, I mean really off the rails. Kind of like how Tommy Lee Jones was able to divert a lava flow in downtown LA using city busses in the 1997 movie Volcano. Unfortunately there was no Busses available when Mt. Saint Helen erupted in 1980. T...

Ladies and gentlemen, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright positions during takeoff, things are about to get a little weird.

It's officially summer, so get your tents and marshmallows out. We're going camping!

This week Emma gives us the true camping experience. Not with bug bites or gross bathrooms, but with classic campfire stories. Get ready to hear how bonkers they get, while Meredith loses her mind over them. 

We don't come empty handed either, along with Emma's stories we also bring beer! An essential for any good time around a ca...

To be honest, I'm not even sure how to describe this episode. It's a little wild and very weird. But it is what it is. In short, this week Meredith is bringing us to the zoo while traumatizing us on how the cocktail 'The Monkey Gland' got its name its just nuts. Literally AND metaphorically.  We learned it, so you do too.


Remember to be nice to animals, always drink responsibly, and don't be a dick

"War. War Never Changes."

Ever drunk Baileys from a shoe, how about a cocktail from an artillery shell?

It's all about doing what you can with what you got. This week Emma digs us deep into the trenches in World War One. If you didn't study for your history test we got you covered, we get a crash course in the Game Of Thrones type politics of the world, but then we dig a little too deep and start to find some skel...

It's 11 o'clock on Thursday night and this episode comes out in one hour, maybe someday we'll have the episodes edited before the deadline. But today is not that day. What a bad choice.

Bad choices are the theme of today's episode, Meredith makes us relive the horror of having to deal with sand getting everywhere with the drink for the week, Sex On The Beach. Though it may seem fun, remember that sand gets everyw...

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream. 

But this isn't a dream that you necessarily want to be apart of, because it is reality and it is terrifying. 

This week Emma brings us a CreepyPasta, now known as scary spaghetti, entitled BedTime. If you ever had sleep paralysis this is right up your alley. Not only does Emma bring us a spooky, creepy story, but she also gives us one very lovely nightcap. Made with things that are meant to put...

Oh boy do we have a treat for you this week. 

It's not just one or two stories this time. This week Meredith brings us three separate stories that you can say were based off of the paranormal, or maybe just calling it a hunch would be more accurate. But we dive into three different cases where ghosts helped bring their murders to justice. 

While we listen to the tales of these ladies reach out from beyond the grave, we get to si...

This week has been a lot, and we don't have the spoons to deal with it. But luckily We still have an episode for you today. 

This week Emma take us to the warm, sunny beaches of what used to be a sovereign nation. If you're thinking of a place outside of America then you're wrong. We're going to Hawaii! Emma gives us a run down of the importance of rum and sugar cane to the islands, while Meredith loses it over t...

We have to set a new low bar for humanity this week, and we still expect people to trip over it. 

This week we take on a cocktail with a contested origin. Though it's name might conjure up images of a barnyard and cows, it's actually quite delicious. Made with four ingredients, this may become your got to summer drink. We certainly wont complain about it. This week Meredith brings us the unofficial official drink of West T...
