It's episode 391 and if you see a blue skeleton in your lucid dreams, it just means that Abraham Lincoln's ghost is nearby! Our eyeballs are currently bleeding from all the brand new ghost hunt footage we're watching for the new tour this fall, so we thought we'd take a walk down memory lane this week with some nostalgic early, early live show audio, and what better way to start thinking about kicking off our tour in Newark, New Jersey and Sleepy Hollow, New York than revisiting our show in Albany! Em tells the ghost stories of not only the New York State Capital but also gives us a little side dish of the haunts of Fort William Henry at Lake George. Then Christine tells the wild, tragic and mind-bending tale of the murder of Peter Porco. Hopefully we all see some little butter-orbs flying by this week for good luck! ...and that's why we drink!
