After a short hiatus, we are back! In this heartfelt episode, we are paying tribute to the beautiful soul known as Anne Rice by telling stories of different supernatural creatures she wrote about. First, Cody talks about the Curse of Tutankhamun, or the Mummy’s Curse, in which a number of people died after coming in contact with the tomb. Next, Chris tells us two fascinating legends about a bleeding tree that formed from a man known as El Vampiro. Then, Cody shares a fascinating story about a sleep disorder known as Sleepy Hollow that affected only one small town in Kazakhstan. Finally, Chris talks about the sad and unfortunate history of the Italian Castrati. This week’s drinks are Prayers of Sinners Red Blend and Dracula’s Blood punch.Advisory: 0:00s-0:20sIntro Music: 0:20s-0:47sTopic: 0:47s-3:17mDrinks: 3:17m-5:07mHistory: 5:07m-12:57mMummy’s Curse: 12:57m-21:22mEl Vampiro de Guadalajara: 21:22m-28:02mTrailer: 28:02m-28:34mSleepy Hollow: 28:34m-34:21mCastrati: 34:21m-40:48mSkeptic: 40:48m-44:00mBeliever: 44:00m-47:04mSign Off: 47:04m-47:52mOutro Music: 47:52m-48:11mOriginal Music: “Halloween Pumpkin” found at https://www.purple-planet.comTo find other strange podcasts, follow our network: https://podmoth.network/Links-Historyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_RiceMummy’s Cursehttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/23321/victims-king-tuts-cursehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_the_pharaohshttps://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/archaeologist-opens-tomb-of-king-tuthttps://www.penn.museum/sites/expedition/the-curse-of-the-curse-of-the-pharaohs/El Vampiro de Guadalajarahttps://mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/05/the-sinister-tale-of-a-girl-and-a-vampire-in-guadalajara/Sleepy Hollowhttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/84543/mystery-behind-kazakh-towns-sleeping-sicknessCastratihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castratohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLjvfqnD0wsDebunkhttps://www.livescience.com/44297-king-tut-curse.htmlBelieverhttps://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-the-monday-edition-1.6284012/anne-rice-used-vampires-to-show-people-they-belong-says-son-1.6284014?fbclid=IwAR2jH1kgFMNzEZ-LkImk09ANFUz-whgNVmyyygH0VnUx_nI3pRXWzHu2HWIhttps://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/dec/15/anne-rice-obituary
