Episode 77 - A Spine-Chilling Halloween Special

It’s that spine-chilling time of year again! In this Halloween special, Manda and Ang take turns diving into the eerie origins, haunting histories, and chilling legends behind the night we all love—Halloween. From the tale of Stingy Jack and the birth of the jack-o’-lantern, to the galloping terror of the Headless Horseman, the girls explore the spirits of Samhain, the witches who roam the night, and the curse of the black cat. But that’s not all—this episode dances through the macabre, unwraps the roots of trick-or-treating, spins the web between the spider and the witch, and sinks its teeth into the lore of vampires and werewolves. So grab your candy, light a candle, and settle in as we summon the spirits of Halloween past and uncover what truly makes this night so hauntingly magical.For episodes like this and more check out our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.spine-chillingchatspodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠If you have a paranormal experience, glitch in the matrix, alien abduction or late-night sexual encounter with the fae please send them in to us!
