Episode 42 - The Bell Witch

Firstly, a couple of apologies:This episode was rather late in airing due to life stuff getting in the way. Sorry about that.Secondly, you can hear a lot of our upstairs neighbours thumping around in this episode. Due to shift work, they have no set schedule so we can never tell when it's going to be quiet. We thought it would be when we recorded, but boy were we wrong. Hopefully it doesn't bother you too much, because it makes me want to bite through lead piping, let me tell you. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it. (Seethes.)In this episode, Zoe tells us the strange story of the Bell Witch, a disembodied spirit that plagued an American family in the 19th century, eventually killing the patriarch of the family - leading to the first recording of 'death by spirit' in US history. We also talk about turning people inside out, the psychological principle of anchoring, and Bigfoot's extra-dimensional, time travelling menagerie.Here's a rundown of the episode:00:28 - Hello!01:39 - Presented Piece - The Bell Witch15:16 - Discussion37:43 - Where You Can Find Us Online39:55 - Fun Fact41:30 - ByeTotal Runtime: 42:13Links:PromoWe're looking for new promo partners!Got a podcast?
