Episode Highlights & Key Quotes
"I mostly recommend the food and waterborne as non-negotiables because you can't possibly control that. You would have food and water and you don't know the exact source, even though it's a good restaurant or a hotel." - Aki Shaw, Pharmacist
"The thing that these two islands have in common that really made me stop and wonder was that they're both residential school sites. They're both places of a lot of trauma. When this being is said to be a spirit being...there has been a lot of people that have commented how often this being has been seen in cemeteries." - Shanon Sinn
