In this episode, Nick explores the strange and spooky phenomenon of bog mummies in northern Europe. How are they so well preserved after thousands of years, and what dark, deadly secret do they share? Then, Dave examines what intelligent alien life might look like should we ever encounter them. The answer might surprise you!

This episode was recorded before a live audience at the Flying Fox Tavern in Queens, NY, on September 15, 2024. As a result, the sound quality is a little dicey. You'll want to increase the volume -- but beware of the occasional cocktail shaker of death!

Also, there was a slideshow for the audience that accompanied the episode. If you'd like to see the slides, they can be found here: https://www.nicholaskaufmann.com/spooky-science-lab-live/
