Keep It Weird

In the inaugural episode, Lauren and Ashley introduce themselves by sharing stories from their childhood, the tale of how they met, explain what first got them interested in the occult, and share with you the concept of Keep It Weird and what to expect from future episodes.

Ashley and Lauren are joined by "handsome" Joe to talk about personal close encounters, their theories on extraterrestrials, UFO's, abduction stories, and how scared they all were of E.T. He was scary, OK?

Ashley and Lauren are joined by their longtime bff Tyler to discuss triangles and the strange things happening within them. Seriously, avoid triangles.

In this episode, Lauren and Ashley sit down with their very first FEMALE guest, Kari, and discuss Ladies who kill! We all pick our favorite female serial killers throughout history and talk about what makes female serial killers different and similar to their male counterparts... and we sing. A lot. DISCLAIMER: This episode has a weird audio problem! Starting at about minute 10 and going to about minute 20 there is a strange popping sound-- we've tried everything to remove this sound but weren't able to fix it! We didn't want to cut it out, because theres a lot of weird/cool information shared, but if you can't handle it skip ahead to minute 21 and you'll be in the clear!

Ashley and Lauren bring you their own personal ghost stories, listener ghost stories, and a little Christmas cheer. Join us for Part One of our Listener Ghost Stories series where we bring you REAL life ghost stories, our theories on what could be taking place, and, as usual, a whole lot of tangents. We start with some personal stories-- Lauren encounters a ghost in a restaurant bathroom and Ashley grows up sharing her house with a little girl in a checkered dress. A naked demon (or possibly one of Santa's elves?) intimidates a 9 year old on Christmas morning, a shirtless man haunts a bedroom, and we'll introduce you to "Ben," the energy that harassed Ashley and her old roommates for over two years.
