Ep. 229: The Heol Fanog Haunting
Have you killed someone in a former (or current) life? Or, did you accidentally piss off an Egyptian god while on vacation? Or maybe you just have ley lines crossed underneath your house? These are just some of the speculations as to what afflicted the Rich family in the early 90’s when they lived at Heol Fanog. This week, Hannah tells Katy about this wild haunting, which included things like bird-headed apparitions, a salad that was either really bland or mind-blowingly good, prophetic paintings, Anne Boleyn, and more!So pour your drinks, light the sage, and join us for this Spooky Story!Sources: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/tv/possessions-strange-visions-ghostly-figures-14554672https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/the-terrifying-real-story-of-the-true-horror-haunted-house/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/bfN7VPDQxynYbZbrhbjYrK/the-story-of-the-witch-farm#:~:text=Now%20I'm%20following%20the,%22Road%20to%20the%20Peaks%22.https://www.andthatswhywedrink.com/listen/e246?rq=unsolvedhttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-63440012https://allthatsinteresting.com/ley-linesPersons of InterestFrom murderers to money launderers, thieves to thugs – police officers from the...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!

Ep. 228: The Gardner Museum Heist

This week, Hannah tells Katy about the infamous (unsolved) Gardner Museum Heist, the stolen works, and the authorities' fruitless search for the thieves.

Ep. 227: The Weight of the Soul
For centuries, scientists and doctors have been asking the big questions about the human body, and striving for ways to better understand these meat sacks we live in. Some, have asked less important questions than others. This week, Hannah tells Katy about Dr. Duncan MacDougal, who asked, "does the human soul have a measurable weight?" The girls discuss the validity of this question, MacDougall's questionable experiences, other people's opinions of dogs, a possible Reaper in disguise, and so much more! So pour your drinks, hug your dog, and join us for this Scientific Mystery!
