The

The 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'm Julia and Amanda.

It's hometown urban legends time, baby. Welcome back. Oh, man, oh man. A lot of us have spent some

time in our hometowns over the last couple of months. We're going to be reflecting on our

holidays as children. And I don't know about you, but a big part of my holidays was getting told spooky

stories in a basement by a cousin. And it should be. That should be the tradition, right? So you

are listening to this episode and you are home for the holidays, much like I encouraged you during

our Thanksgiving episodes, hey, go ask your favorite cousin or your weird aunt or uncle or your grandma who

seems like she's seen a lot of shit. Go ask them about a scary story. And then write into us about it.

We've all been kind of like left in the cluster of relatives that perhaps you wouldn't choose

for yourself, but it's maybe a mid-tier

blunt rotation or would-be, should that be appropriate at your family gatherings, you can

always just break an awkward silence by saying, so what ghost stories have you heard recently?

And people will light up.

They love this shit.

Go ahead and ask them.

Or what's the scariest thing that ever happened to you?

Maybe not that one, Julie. Maybe that one is like after dessert when the sort of like the wine is out and we're sort of getting a little more intimate.
