Banshees And Booze

Spoiler Alert: We didn't get abducted. But Tami DID manage to lure Amie into a screening of La Llorona! Listen to the gals give their buzzy opinions about the new film in theaters now! Thanks to an earlier episode, we know all the hekkin things about the real folktale of the tragic Lady in White of Mexico. We're, like, culturally woke AF. There were ups and downs and we complain a bit. Also Tami mis-IDs a woman HARD and feels really bad still. And as Johnny Carson famously used to say: Fuckin' Burbank. .

Happy various Spring holidays, B&B family! This week Amie and Tami explore HAUNTED PLACES OF WORSHIP! There's a cup of the Sangre-ia of Christ with your name on it, although it's BYOBOC (Bring Your OWN Body Of Christ). Tami gets drunk on Jinn facts while exploring the haunted mosque of Jamali Kamali in India, and Amie can't find where all the bodies are buried at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Key West, Florida. And we wrap up our service with one of the most unique Up Ghost And Personal segments to day. And also with you! (That's all Tami remembers from church...) .

Is it even Kokamo if it isn't by the Muppets? We've got the travel bug on this week's episode featuring: HAUNTED ISLANDS! Pour a dash of schnapps, rum and OJ for a Bermuda triangle as Amie talks about the real Bermuda, that may have been haunted or just: pigs? Hear about he ghostly inhabitants of the manor built by John Cox, and Tami didn't laugh at his name even ONCE. And for a less tropical vibe, visit Poveglia Island in Venice, Italy; a paradise free of taxes but full of burnt-ass plague bodies. Tami survives nearly 25 minutes of fucking ZAK in an episode of Ghost Adventures. And a special Up Ghost and Personal from Amie about her own island haunted encounter. Spoiler alert: shit's FREAKY. Zillow your family home and enjoy this episode! . Theme Music: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ .

No rules, just right! Follow your spoiled cats to the land down under (or up above, if you're not Northern Hemisphere-ist), as Amie and Tami bust out their variably successful accent for HAUNTED AUSTRALIA! Lift some weights so you're ready to lift the heft that is a Foster's and hear about a museum that started life as a (you guessed it: mental hospital!), and the drool-inducing Monte Cristo Homestead. There's crazy sisters, baby tossing, and a heavy dose of wishing we were eating. It's our Christmas in July gift to you (in April...).

There's more fun in this episode than you can toss a freeze-dried chive at! Join us on our first OFFICIAL romp into the work of haunted restaurants! Order a glass of the Haunted House wine and hear about the Catfish Plantation in Waxahachie, Texas. This place keeps its cards close to the chest and it's hair close to the head. And then write off your travel expenses to Charleston, where Poogan's Porch is haunted by the Urban Outfitters ghosts of our DREAMS. All of this kicks off with the most beautiful piece of poetry we've ever read. THANKS, DAD! .

How can you ruin flippin butterflies? This week Amie and Tami talk about poltergeists, but not Poltergeist, and the thing from The Conjuring, but not The Conjuring... PHEW! I need a drink. Sip on some Faketo-Ecto-Cooler (with rum!) and listen to a two part tale of the Poltergeist of Thornton Heath, and the story of the Enfield Poltergeist that inspired a movie despite the many HATERZ (skeptics). Also brush of your German for a Haunt or Hoax you won't have any fremdschämen listening to this episode! .

What is this; a podcast about owls? Whooooooo can even tell this week as Amie and Tami can't even figure out what their damn topic is! The gals watch an episode of Paranormal State (or Witness? Or State?) and drink some rather nice toilet wine inspired by the show's host and his recent felony conviction for "money shit". Tami falls for a sassy psychic named Chip Coffee, and Amie will never vacuum again after her viewing. And the BOTH GOT LORRAINE WARREN!!!! It was a Fyre Festival of emotions on this week's Banshees and Booze! .

Happy Saint Patty's... Paddy's? HAPPY SANIT PATRICK'S DAY, jeez. Crack open a Guinness and come with us as we explore the haunted castles and only non-castle haunting in all of Ireland! Don't be mad, but we're setting reminders all over the place as Amie discusses the haunted pub that was built LIT'rally attached to a graveyard, and Tami shouts out the many lady ghosts of Limerick County. We the snakes even a problem? Find out in this spirited spirit discussion with babbling breath and almost no burps! .

Get your brain to wrap your mind around this: we have another YEAR of presidential campaigning ahead of us in the US. That's enough to drive ANYONE to the PBRs, not that Amie and Tami need the excuse! This week the topic is politics, and the subject is ghosts, and honestly? In both cases no one can ever tell if you're not wearing undies. We get pretty on the outside and trashy on the inside when we discuss the haunted AF Minneapolis City Hall, and the personally possessed home of a small town politician who may have just been hitting his kids maybe? Idk. But I DO k that Dances With Wolves is a fine movie to paint a wall to. Stick around for the Up Ghost and Personal that has both of us HOLLERIN. It's party time, mother fuckers/thirsty bitches! .

We have entered the Brow Era! This week Amie and Tami powder and pencil their way to fabulous and get back to what they do best: Haunted Hollywood! Two hotels that are former sites of The Academy Awards are our haunt de jour. Hear a review of the haunted Millennium Biltmore hotel that is terrifying in both content AND grammar, and take a deep dive into the two apparitions said to haunt Grauman's Chinese Theater. It's just the tip of the nip in this nonstop hauntfest: pour yourself some pre-made lemon drops and scream along! .

Happy Burpday, Amie! It's champagne dreams on a prosecco budget as we discuss a subject that sounds like a straight-up SAT word: psychopomps! Wtf, you ask? Well listen to the damn podcast; it's the least you can do for Amie's birthday. Amie digs into birds who guide the dead into the afterlife, and Tami gets gothbaby AF and talks both about her sort of near-death experience (kinda sorta) and delves into the history of the Grim Reaper. .

Am I pretty? This Valentine's Day episode is for all you scorned ghost-lovers out there. Amie and Tami talk about the most romantic (and mostly terrible) movie of all time (hint: you wanna go to a real party?) while sipping on a sneakily strong Terrifying Tequila Sunrise. Tami takes us to a lady in white who gets twat blocked by a founding father, and Amie surprises even herself with some spot-on Japanese ghost pronounciation. Grab some froyo in a hurricane, and don't forget protection, cause this episode wants to get you phantom pregnant (wait...). .

Let's get ready to TREMBLE!!!! It's time for the ultimate spectral smackdown, brought to you by the hosts just scared enough to do it. This episode Amie and Tami duke it out, debate style; or Tami tries to fight and Amie mostly goes limp. Still! Amie tries to prove definitively that ghosts ARE REAL, while Tami takes the opposing side (which she supes doesn't believe) arguing that ghosts are FAKE NEWS. A friggin' ghost drops by on the mics to scare the poop out of everyone, and a cat attack leaves us all one life short. Grab your pet elephant, pour some red vs. white wine and decide for yourself! .

That's it: we're getting our tubes tied. Pour yourself a travel mug full of Mommy Juice (aka TCM-themed wine) and get ready to distrust every child you've ever met! This week Amie and Tami scare the ham out of each other by reading a listicle of the scariest things ever caught by baby monitors! Hear about a phantom bear, see a stringy-haired demon woman LURKING, and go over to the instagram to see a video of a baby being straight up possessed by a flippin evil spirit! Oh god, get mommy her sippy, baby; this playdate just got REAL. .

Nevertheless, she persisted... after a drink. This week Amie and Tami pay homage to some of the strong-ass lady ghosts that paved the way for the 3rd wave millennial ghosts of today. Sip on an old favorite drink in new-fangled glasses, and hear about the Bell Witch who HATED Betsy, and Theodosia Burr, who straight up went missing and took her favorite selfie to the grave! And if that's not enough for you, hear a story about a famous politician seeing ghosts, and get an update on an Up Ghost And Personal from one of out favorite listeners!

Fifty and Nifty and Thifty and.... a little Drunky? We are over the hill and rapidly turning into the Turner Classic Movie blue hairs we were always meant to be! Now BE QUIET, because this week we are exploring haunted libraries. Amie takes us to Peoria, Illinois to learn about a lady who was deathbed-cursing all the wrong things, and Tami talks about the Houston Public Library's actually fairly charming ghost resident. We plan for the big one (aka Spring Cleaning) and raise a glass to the next fifty! .

Cautiously Optimistic New Year, dear listeners! Amie and Tami are back from their exotic holiday travels and here to parle ALL the francais! Grab yourself a French 75 (there's LOTS of gin) and snuggle under your blankies as we explore haunted Paris(-ish)! Find out what a cemetery with a publicity problem does to get it's groove back, and hear about a seance in a castle where you practically have to sign a non-disclosure! We're so glad to be back, and we hope you are, too! Allons-y! . Theme Music: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ .

Gorge yourself on holiday Tofurkey, and holler about your poops: It's the Banshees and Booze Holiday Special!

Happy Whatever The Fuck You Celebrate, and we'll see you in 2019. Thank you to our amazing listeners, and have a drink or three for us :) CHEERS! .

Happy Haunted Holidays! It's Our first homegrown episode as we break in the new podcasting equipment with some spooky (and frankly nasty) stories of haunted serial killers! Amie pops her egg nog cherry (mmm... cherry egg nog sounds pretty good) as the gals get comfy chatting about Ted Bundy and Herb Baumeister. Spoier alert: these bros sucked! Get yourself a traveling pants podcast and a case of nerceslepsies... narcophilia... neurotypical... fuck it. Jut drink and listnen, gotdamn. .

We're coming for you, Gelson's! This week Amie tries to poison Tami (who willingly submits because, hey; vodka's vodka), and the gals revisit one of their favorite subjects: haunted pets! Or, rather, they tried to, but The Haunted on Animal Planet forgot they were on Animal Planet this time. Hear the harrowing tales of two women haunted by spirits and their doubting-ass husbands who try to mansplain the paranormal away. We're searchin' for our lost shaker of Van Nuys Himalayan Sea Salt in this episode... thank goodness nobody got hurt. . Engineer: Nathan G. .
