Hey everyone. For Halloween this year, we're excited to share an episode of another great show we think you'll love.

It's called Spirits. Spirits is a history and comedy podcast focused on everything folklore, mythology, and the occult,

told through the lens of feminism, queerness, and modern adulthood.

Every week, mythology buff Julia and her childhood best friend Amanda

get together to learn about a different story from mythology and folklore over drinks.

They talk about everything from the mythological origins of major franchises like

Lord of the Rings and Wonder Woman, to crash courses on the pantheons of mythologies from around

the world, to monthly roundups of spooky first-hand accounts submitted by their listeners.

Start listening with any of the 450 episodes they've released over the last nine years.

There's so much to enjoy, whether you're here for analyses of mental health and folklore,

or creepy modern ghost stories.

In this episode, Julia and Amanda revisit one of the most horrifying listeners-submitted

stories they've ever discussed on the show, a tale of terrifying mushrooms, haunted caves,

and what lurks in the dark.

If you enjoy this episode and want to hear more, dive in at spiritspodcast.com or search

for spirits wherever you download your podcasts.

Here's the episode. Welcome to Spirits' podcast, a boozy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore.

Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world.

I'm Amanda.

And I'm Julia.

And I hope you've been enjoying Mushroom Month.

I hope it was a pleasant experience for everyone.
