Summary

In this special episode, we crack open a 1981 issue of the Weekly World News—the black-and-white tabloid that defined bizarre headlines and outrageous paranormal claims. Hosts Jeni Monroe and Tressa Slater review the wildest stories that had grocery store lines buzzing with guest Chachi. Was it satire? A secret truth? Or something stranger still? Join us as we separate fact from folklore and nostalgia from nightmare in this time-traveling dive into paranormal pulp history. Tabloid Terror!
