Happy FebRuary, folks! We hope everything is still going well this year and you're enjoying February so far, however you celebrate. A mystery is afoot AF in this batch of listener stories. We hear from folks who have stories for another day, cover their own creepy current family true crime and contemplate giving their number to a ghost in Gettysburg.

All while thoroughly creeping out Em and Christine for all the synchronicities related to episode 313 that we just recorded and comes out this coming week. Are we trauma bonded from a whole different lifetime? ...and that's why we drink!

Welcome to Armchair August! We're surprising Em with the theme they demanded and then forgot about. They got a little tangled in their own puppet strings but don't worry, Em's just the puppet master and really the puppets are playing Em. And we were blown away by all of your armchair stories! We hear from folks who saw faceless men who froze to death glaring from their Lay-Z-Boy, had their sheets caught in an armchair full of ghostly withered arms, had yearly lucid dreams of embroidered armchairs and dangerous scarecrow men on Halloween, and even had their lives saved by an outdoor rocking armchair! Should we keep it going with Ottoman Autumn? ...and that's why we drink!
