Episode 57 Sources: Short & Spooky

Our fourth volume of Short & Spooky stories is here, and you know the drill! This episode features three stories that are too short for a full episode, but that we really want to share with you. In this installment, you can hear about recent Yellowstone volcano fearmongering, James Dean’s cursed Porsche, and Benadryl-induced visions of the mysterious Hat Man.
