Hey you! It's time to get Civil War spooky. This week, the girls chat about the Jennie Wade House - a former home turned museum in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA.  You may be wondering what made this house important, why it's now a museum - and who Jennie Wade was. Well, tune in and learn more - plus learn about the reported haunts that supposedly take place. Need a distraction? We got you. As discussed in episode 62 about the 215 bodies of Tk'emlups te Secwepemc First Nation children recently found in Kamloops (and counting found in other provinces/locations),  please check out: https://truenorthaid.ca/how-to-help-first-nations/.
