Between anticipation for the upcoming Halloween season and a blissfully drama-free couple of weeks, hostesses Nym and Nylene are enjoying some much needed peace before the holidays kick into high gear.
After a bit of banter around toddler trick-or-treat prep and costume conundrums, it's onto today's topics! Nym takes us on another Grave Encounter to the Old Burying Point in Salem, MA. Nylene covers a case with a recent verdict, and fills us in on the mushroom murders in Australia.
