The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe sightings of a legendary beast in the San Antonio area of Texas dating back allegedly to the 1800’s. The donkey lady has a grim origin involving either murder or arson and murder. Either way, the donkey lady has been seeking revenge ever since and the internet is rife with sightings. It’s not entirely clear as to whether this is someone resembling a donkey or someone who has been combined with a donkey. In the early 2000’s you could actually give the Donkey Lady a telephone call. But is she real? All that and more on this week’s file.
