Welcome to episode 189! The one in which we encounter a boat who may have been misgendered and then murdered everybody. Em takes us on a wild ride on the ghost ship SS Ourang Medan.

Hi there, are you peeling OK today? Because we're not sure we are... this week on episode 187 we're pretty sure the fake haunted doll we made up cursed Christine's contact out of her eye. Em then takes us all the way to Romania for some poltergeist activity in the story of Eleonora Zugun and her Dracu (Devil) within. Then Christine brings new meaning to the name "Bambi" with the story of Laurie Bembenek. Also, it turns out potatoes are the rocks of the starch family... and that's why we drink!
