Welcome to Spirits podcast to Boosy 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 this is episode 87, horses. I put a dramatic pause in there because this episode, people,

let's tell you a story about this episode. Go ahead. Tell them. Tell them the story.

So I messed up and we recorded this episode and in the recording process, I completely forgot to

plug in our microphones. The interface. Is that what happened? That was the first time. The interface

was just straight up not plugged into my computer,

and the recording was from my laptop mic, which was not suitable. Correct. Then we re-recorded it.

And in the saving process, the file appeared to disappear. But in fact, reader, listener,

where was it hiding? It was hiding on my backup hard drive.

And I only discovered this because we were having an interview with a very special guest

whose interview I valued so much that I double-checked that I had saved the episode both to my hard drive and to my backup.

And what did I find?

I find our lost episode on horses.

It was, it was like a, like a ghost of a sailor come home for his wife. And she's not, she's not sure she's happy about it because it is scary, but it did happen. And now you get this episode.

That's a great point because this genuinely, I am going to give you a little bit of a warning here.

This is a very scary episode.

And if you listen before, Julie just shrugged.

But if you listen before going to bed or listen to small kids, you may want to screen this and or listen in the daylight.

To be fair, there's only, there's some nice parts in here

and then there's some extremely scary parts in here. Yeah. And I have no regrets. Uh, Julie,

that's what I rely on you for to bring me the wholesome stuff and also the scary stuff.
