Amanda and Sarah sip some canned rosé and indulge in some creepy legends. Sarah heads back to North Carolina for the Grey Man of Hatteras Island and the Cora Tree of Avalon. Amanda conjures Raw Head and Bloody Bones, a well known, centuries-old boogeyman used to scare children throughout England and the U.S. Other subjects covered include a bikini area mosquito bite, a lack of fishing knowledge, and a psychosexual haunted house.
Recommendations:
Amanda recommends the latest season of the Netflix show Mindhunter and the What We Do in the Shadows series now streaming on Hulu. Sarah recommends the book Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-Gazer by Sena Jeter Naslund.
