EP 70: JUSTICE FOR GHOULS!

Who remembers watching those shows as a child where kids were dared to go stay the night at a cemetery? Maybe you thought this was a good idea and maybe you actually did it. But can we be honest with each other for a second? You had to have been scared. I mean if anything you were in a cemetery, but what if there was a cryptid that called cemeteries home and had an appetite for human flesh? Now if you said “Zombie” that's cryptist (cryptid racist) just kidding, but the cryptid I'm talking about is known as a Ghoul. A Ghoul is its own entity and what I hope to do with this episode is give this cryptid its overdue moment in the spotlight. So it's time to grab a drink and join Patrice and I for a listen to “Justice for Ghouls!” Enjoy!
