Amanda and Sarah are calling up phone terror, doubles, and more. Amanda covers the case of L'Enfant, an especially egregious case of harassing phone calls that terrorized a Washington, DC restaurant for over a decade. Sarah dips into her fearscination again with a look at the Irish fetch, the Finnish Etiäinen, and other doppelganger-like figures from folklore. Other topics covered include a Reddit horror story, a Skyrim misunderstanding, and a new sexy term of endearment.
Recommendations:Etiäinen
Amanda recommends the 1982 cult comedy Eating Raoul. Sarah recommends the 2013 experimental horror film Enemy.
