Tori starts off the latest megasode with several movie references and the Old Joliet Prison. Yet another prison with deplorable conditions, ghosts, and movie scenes. Also, they buried limbs in the cemetery there. Krysti comes around with Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Add in a vampire, a battle site, a horny gravesite, and you want ghosts? Because that’s how you get ghosts. Chuck comes round with a Central American cryptid, the mysterious Aluxes, or the little people of Mexico. These Mayan legends have stuck around to this day. Malcolm brings us to Scotland and the Culloden Battlefield. The last stand of the Jacobites against the British Duke of Cumberlands troops. A series of poor tactical choices and being outgunned made this the site of an absolute massacre. There seems to be an echo of this battle that ripples through every year on the anniversary. Happy bday to Tori, she got the gamut of fun stories right up her alley for this episode.
