Got a second to get creeped out with us?
This week Ashlee probably got haunted. We're taking you deep into the wilderness of Wyoming — remote cabin, questionable vibes, and a night that turned very weird. Let’s just say there were things that went bump in the night… and possibly chanted in the dark.
Ash spills the tea on a real-life scarefest involving a cabin, a sleepwalking friend, and something that will make us all question reality. You’ll laugh, you’ll shiver, and you’ll maybe sleep with the lights on. But hey, that’s why you’re here, right?
We’re talking energy, history, and the very thin veil between “this is fine” and “oh no, we’re definitely haunted.”
So grab your cozy blanket, maybe a flashlight, and let’s get haunted together.
And if you’ve got your own eerie tale? You know we need to hear it!
They say if you drive down the winding road of 13 Bends in Pennsylvania late at night, you’ll never feel truly alone. The trees close in, the air grows heavy, and some swear the shadows bend just as sharply as the road itself. But the most chilling tale isn’t about the turns or the darkness—it’s about a little boy. A boy who doesn’t belong to this world anymore.
Some drivers claim to see him at the side of the road, pale and silent, watching them pass. Others say he suddenly appears in the middle of the lane, forcing them to slam on their brakes, only for him to vanish without a trace. And the unlucky few? They say he follows—his faint footsteps echoing through the night until the bends are behind you… or until you realize he’s sitting quietly in your back seat.
Tonight, we’ll explore the haunted legend of 13 Bends, and the little boy who refuses to let go.
Ready to wander into the wild, weird corners of Wrangell–St. Elias? Alaska’s biggest, most remote park… and suddenly, you’re not so sure you’re alone.
This week, we’re talking about ghost miners, mysterious lodges, and maybe even a creature that’ll make you rethink venturing out after dark. Whispers in abandoned mines, figures that don’t quite belong, and some folklore that’s equal parts “what the heck” and “nope, I’m sleeping with the lights on.”
So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let us drag you (lovingly) into Alaska’s creepiest legends and ghost stories.
You know those moments where you accidentally hurt the people you love the most?
In this episode, we’re pulling you right into our kitchen-table storytelling as we relive some of the funniest, most ridiculous “oops” moments that somehow became family legends. From wrestling mats to everyday chaos, we’re talking about the weird ways pain turns into comedy when you’ve got a mother-daughter duo like us.
So grab a seat, lean in, and get ready to laugh with (and maybe at) us — because you’ll probably end up thinking about your own family’s “remember when…” stories by the end of this one.
In this episode, we’re bringing you (our favorite listener) right into the heart of a story that has a bit of American history, a bit of the paranormal, and a whole lot of “uhh, what is that in the background of this photo??”
We’re talking skeptical eyebrows, ghostly legends, and the kind of creepy historical facts that make you want to double-check your closet before bed. (Spoiler: the phrase “saved by the bell” is way more terrifying than it sounds.)
Plus, we may or may not confess how often we spiral into ghost story TikTok before sleeping with the lights on. Again.
So grab your comfiest blanket, maybe don’t sit tooclose to any antique mirrors, and get ready for a weird, wild ride through history, hauntings, and the slightly unhinged corners of our brains.
Ash finds something on the street (because of course she does), and let’s just say it’s not the kind of “freebie” you’d ever want in your house. Things get weird… fast.
And then, because one questionable life choice isn’t enough, Ash also decides to “rescue” an animal that turns out to be… well… let’s just say not exactly your average pup.
We’re laughing, we’re cringing, and we’re definitely questioning Ash’s decision-making skills—but honestly, that’s what makes this episode so good. Trust us, you don’t want to miss it.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the spooky world of energy transference – and trust us, you’re going to want to know about this one! We’re chatting about how empathetic folks (yes, that might be YOU) can unknowingly absorb the vibes of the people around them. Spoiler: it’s not always rainbows and butterflies.
But wait, it gets darker. Ever heard of dark energy? No, it’s not a new Netflix series, but it might just be the unseen force messing with your relationships. We’re going to unpack what it looks like, how it creeps into your life, and how it can totally throw you off.
This is some real eye-opening insights on how to spot dark energy in your world and what you can do to protect yourself.

Let's dive into the wild world of learning new skills—because who doesn’t love leveling up? From the nitty-gritty of car maintenance to the magical art of impressions (trust me, you do not want to hear one), we explore both the practical and downright fun abilities we'd love to master. And don't be discouraged, there’s always room for surprise hidden talents! Tune in for a healthy mix of self-improvement and a dash of “wait, you can do that?”
Ever had a house that just… didn’t feel right? Yeah, us too. Sleep paralysis that felt way too real, orbs floating around the bedroom, and a computer that decided to blast AC/DC at three in the morning, even for a ghost, that's extreme. But it wasn’t just the house. We started to wonder if the people in our lives at the time (and the dark energy they carried) made the activity worse. Was it coincidence, bad vibes, or something way beyond that? Grab your blanket, dim the lights, and come creep through our haunted memories with us—we promise it’s not all screams, there’s some laughter too.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park holds more than glaciers and volcanoes — it hides lost planes, ghost towns, and chilling mysteries tied to the Alaska Triangle. In this episode, we uncover the story of a plane crash swallowed by ice and found decades later, and explore the legends that make this park one of Alaska’s most haunting places.

K byeeee!
Have you ever had a date go so wrong that you thought, “Yep, this is the one I’ll be telling strangers about on a podcast someday”
Because… same.
In this episode, Ashlee shares a personal dating disaster that started out normal enough and then quickly spiraled into pure chaos. Think less rom-com magic and more “why is this happening to me right now?”
But here’s the best part: we’re not just swapping embarrassing stories, we’re digging into what these moments actually teach us why sometimes the absolute worst dates end up being the best memories.
So grab your favorite snack, hit play, and settle in—because if you’ve ever survived a dating fail (and we know you have), this one’s for you.
Ever get that weird gut feeling that something’s off?
Yeah, us too. In this episode of Sunday Scaries, we're—spilling the kind of stories that make you check your locks twice and maybe side-eye strangers a little more.
Those everyday moments that seem totally normal… until suddenly, they’re not.
Don’t worry—it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ll laugh through the goosebumps, drag in some pop culture references (because obviously), and maybe even make you rethink that “quick errand” you were planning.
Consider this your reminder that staying safe doesn’t have to be boring—sometimes it’s hilariously terrifying.
So grab a snack, turn on a light, and let’s swap stories—you’re basically our third co-host at this point.
Let's go!
In this episode, we’ve got a listener story, some of our own strange experiences, and yes… that time night vision footage made us question if we should ever sleep again.
Spoiler: you can totally see faces in the dark if you stare long enough — 10/10 do not recommend.
We’ll chat about the possibility that our dreams might actually be interdimensional field trips, why visual evidence makes us both excited and mildly terrified, and how your security camera could be catching more than your Amazon deliveries.
But here’s the thing — this show is way more fun when you’re in it. So listen in, laugh with us, creep yourself out a little, and then tell us your weirdest “something-was-definitely-there” story. Because the paranormal is strange, but it’s a lot less scary when we explore it together.
Until next time…don't get haunted!
K-bye,
Ashlee and Liz

Ready for a vacation vibe check? In this episode, we are talking about our wildly different vacation styles. Ashlee’s out there seeking adventure, exploring off-the-beaten-path spots and hidden treasures. Liz is all about the chill, soaking up the local culture and savoring that perfect corner coffee shop.
But don’t worry, we’re not here to judge. We’re diving into all things travel planning, like how Google Maps can be more than just your map—it can help you uncover those unexpected gems. Think quirky coffee shops, charming neighborhoods, and maybe even a haunted building or two!
But we want to hear from YOU too! Got a topic you’d love for us to dive into? Drop your ideas and you might just hear us talk about them in the next episode.
Ready to laugh, plan your next getaway, and maybe even get a little inspired to travel in a way you never thought of before? Let's take this adventure together!
You ever look at a Raggedy Ann doll and think, “Yeah, that thing definitely wants to ruin my life”? No? Well... buckle up. This week, it’s just us and the cursed object of your nightmares: Annabelle—the demon doll that ruins lives. And unfortunately, she may have just claimed another. We’re talking about the mysterious and very recent death of paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, who was taking Annabelle on tour.
Join us as we:
- Walk through the deeply cursed history of Annabelle (hi, haunted Raggedy Ann from literal hell)
- Talk about the strict “don’t touch, don’t breathe on her, don’t look at her too hard” protocols around the doll
- And share personal haunting experiences that made us question all our life choices.
Also: do NOT provoke haunted objects. Ever. Seriously. Don't be that person. We love you too much to let you go out like the motorcycle guy who mocked Annabelle and then got into a fatal crash on his way home (yes, that really happened—chilling) Oh, and Liz tells a personal story about how, after watching The Conjuring, something straight-up followed her home. At 3am, something happened… no logical explanation—just pure, uninvited paranormal chaos. So yeah… she's got beef with Annabelle. So grab your sage, your rosary, your favorite protective crystal, and let’s trauma-bond over haunted dolls. Just… don’t invite Annabelle to your house party, ok? Haunted
Takeaways:
- Annabelle’s not just a spooky story—she’s allegedly caused real harm.
- Dan Rivera may have underestimated the doll’s power.
- That glass case? It’s not for display, it’s a containment unit. For your protection.
- People who disrespect her have ended up hurt—or worse.
- She started as a sweet-looking Raggedy Ann... and turned into a literal horror movie icon.
- Ed & Lorraine Warren had strict warnings about her, and honestly? We’re listening.
- If your gut says “don’t mess with haunted stuff,” trust it.
Our own experiences? Unnerving. Possibly regretful. Will never do that again! Until next time…Don't bring home haunted stuff; and don't get haunted!
We know you're not expecting to cry over a cockroach today, but… here we are. In this delightfully derailed episode, we sit down to talk about unexpected emotional attachments. Specifically, Liz’s bathroom buddy: a cockroach she formed a legit friendship with. (And before you judge—just listen, okay? He had vibes.) But then—cue the dramatic Law & Order music—Liz’s husband Adam enters the scene, unknowingly commits insecticide… and suddenly finds himself on trial. A fake trial, obviously. (Or was it? ) From there, things spiral gloriously off the map, and we end up talking about fruit flies, baby quails, guilt, grief, and the weird little ways we connect with the natural world—especially when no one else is looking. Takeaways (because we’re thoughtful like that): • Adam is now on emotional parole. • Ashlee has deep feelings about quails and their little leggies. • Fruit flies may or may not have gotten Adam through law school. • Humor helps us deal with life, death, and bug funerals. • You can emotionally bond with a cockroach. Liz did. We’re all learning here. • Nature’s weird, and so are we—but maybe that’s the point. So if you’ve ever had a secret connection with a spider, a pet rock, or a squirrel that stares at you too long—this one’s for you. Come laugh, cry, and maybe whisper an apology to the spider in your shower. It’s okay. You’re safe here.
You up for some creepy encounters in the desert? Great, you're gonna love this episode... You ever walk into a place and instantly feel like you shouldn’t be there? That’s Devil’s Den. Hikers report hearing voices when no one’s around, feeling watched, followed, or flat-out unwelcome. And the worst part?
That’s just the beginning. Then there's La Llorona—whose name translates to "the weeping woman," but she’s more like the drenched-in-grief, luring-you-to-the-river, eternal scream queen of Mexican folklore. We break down her many terrifying forms, from tragic mother to full-blown banshee, and explore how her legend has evolved into one of the most chilling ghost stories in the Southwest. Let’s trauma bond over:
* The haunting hush of Devil’s Den (aka Mother Nature’s panic room) * Voices in the canyon, footsteps behind you, and absolutely no one there * The tragic and terrifying origins of La Llorona * Folklore that hits hard because it’s laced with loss and regret * Stories that had us both clutching our microphones and our sage * Why the wilderness sometimes feels like it’s watching you back So come with us—into a corner of Texas where legends linger like smoke, and the silence? Yeah, it’s NEVER just silence. You bring the flashlight. We’ll bring the ghost stories. And always remember, don't get haunted! – Ashlee & Liz
Welcome to another episode of Sunday Scaries, where we whisper ghost stories straight into your soul (but like…in a comforting way). This week, we’re diving headfirst into the haunted history of The Dewey House in Indiana—a place with so much spooky energy, even we’re re-questioning our decision to go there. Ashlee takes us back to her high school days when she and her friends decided to “casually” visit a house where—spoiler alert—a man killed his whole family. Because obviously, that’s what normal teenagers do instead of, like, going to the movies. She tells us all about the weird energy, creepy vibes, and the moment where she swears something otherworldly was watching her. (And no, it wasn’t just Tyler from gym class.) Ghost tales are way more fun when they’re coming from real people. (P.S. Keep those submissions coming—we love hearing what haunts you.) So grab your blanket, turn on every light in your house, and join us as we get creeped out together. One haunted house, one terrifying road trip, and one high school memory at a time. Takeaways (aka: what we learned while panicking slightly): The Dewey House? Totally haunted. No notes. Ashlee is braver than she gives herself credit for. If someone tells you a man murdered his whole family there… maybe don’t go?? High school decisions are 90% poor judgment, 10% ghost bait. You guys have some WILD stories—we’re obsessed. We’re always here for a creepy road trip tale. Thanks for hanging out with us. We love that you’re here. You're the brave one who made it to the end of the episode without turning on a Disney movie for comfort. Talk soon. Bring snacks. And maybe some sage? – Ashlee & Liz
In this episode, we’re letting it all hang out—because who hasn’t opened the wrong car door or dropped an embarrassing amount of money on something totally unnecessary? (Looking at you, $240 subscription for one card ).
We’re diving into our most cringe-worthy moments—from dietary disasters and fast food fails to overreactions with customer service reps and the occasionally questionable advice from a psychic. Along the way, we reflect on what these experiences taught us (or didn’t), and how laughter has been our best coping strategy.
We want you in on this too—what’s your most ridiculous purchase? Your funniest mistake? DM us or drop a comment—we’re all in this beautiful mess together.
🌵 New Episode Alert! 🌵
This week on The Lesser Known Pod, we’re heading deep into the remote beauty—and hidden dangers—of Big Bend National Park.
From the darkest night skies in the lower 48 to a ghostly history of mercury mining and prehistoric beasts, Big Bend is full of eerie surprises. We explore everything from the abandoned Langford Hot Springs to the chili-fueled charm of Terlingua—and even dive into how your dreams might be affected by the land itself.
With scorching heat, rugged canyons, and over 90 species of dinosaurs discovered here, this national park is as haunting as it is breathtaking.
