STEFFANY STRANGE, WE WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU series
Have you ever met someone and thought "I would really like to know them?"
Our spooky community is full of talented and creative people. Often we meet by chance or in passing at an event. Everyone is capitalizing on their content or making connections. We may say let's grab a coffee or make plans. Good intentions and yet hard to follow through.
In this series, we are reconnecting with those we met in passing and getting to know our friends in the community. Join us as we spend an evening with Steffany Strange. In our opinion, Steffany is one of those bright lights amongst the crowd. She is the kind of person you want to call a friend and have fun with when you're at an event.
In this FULL episode we FIND OUT how much we HAVE IN COMMON. We also discuss how she met her husband and fellow psychic Karl. The world of the OCCULT, a bit of religion or dare we say deconstructing, how she landed and AUDITIONED for Buzz Feed, and finally FAVE paranormal destinations past and present.
Don't miss all the fun tidbits in this conversation just between us girls.
Our infatuation for James Dean has been reignited. In this episode we chat about our family history, an uncanny coincidence and our recent visit to the crash site memorial.

Recently, we met up with other Creepy Creators and finally got to meet Psychic Buster. We fully engage in a conversation about mental health, autism, adult ADHD and his current show at Bob Baker's Marionette Theater Hallowe'en Spectacular.
October 10th is not only our birthday but is WORLD MENTAL HEALTH day. October is also ADHD awareness month.
Mental health is important and ADHD is close to our hearts. There is nothing wrong with being Neurodiverse neurodiverse family/friends in a Neurotypical world can be incredibly challenging.
*Terms such as “neurodiverse” and “neurodivergent” were introduced in the 1990s by autistic sociologist Judy Singer as an alternative to deficit-based language, such as “disorder.” Singer highlighted notable strengths of many individuals in the autistic population that include abilities to focus, recognize patterns, and remember factual information. A “neurodivergent” person refers to a person on the autism spectrum or, more generally, to someone whose brain processes information in a way that is not typical of most individuals. These people may have learning disabilities, attention deficit and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Tourette’s syndrome. Through a neurodiversity lens, such conditions reflect different ways of being that are all normal human experiences.
“Neurodiversity” is usually used to describe a group of neurodivergent individuals, it also refers to all of humankind because everyone has a unique way of processing information.

Oh and how about the perfect FALL book read for witches? SLEWFOOT by Brom is a Colonial New England folklore tale that is sure to intrigue you.

Once the honey has been ‘loosened’ by the water, it mixes effortlessly into drinks of all kinds, hot or cold.

It's not quite Fall, in fact we have about 3.5 more weeks of SUMMER. Although, if you're part of the SPOOKY COMMUNITY it starts after JULY 4th. Interestingly enough we attended the Midsummer Scream 2023 Halloween Convention the same weekend The Haunted Mansion movie opened in theaters.
We FINALLY both watched the movie after attending the Midsummer Scream 2023 The Haunted Mansion panel a couple weekends ago in Long Beach, CA.
We were pleasantly surprised by some of the Behind The Scenes facts and the respect NOLA (New Orleans, LA) received in the new movie. But did we both like the film? Did it resonate as a family FALL classic for the rest of Eternity? Have you watched the Eddie Murphy 2003 movie? TBH we haven't watched the Muppet Movie one yet.
We also revisit our Empress Leota cocktail we made a couple years ago on our @ParanormalCocktails TikTok channel.

Welcome to Rancho Cucamonga, CA where we spent our teenage years. For our Season 3 FINALE episode we decided that we needed to pay a nod to our hometown. We had some bust on this tour but also we had some of the most FUN we've ever had.
We talk about the proper annunciation "CUCA" like in cucumber and reminisce about the old vineyards we would walk through. So much has changed but the haunts are still the same.
All background music was found on youtube we do not own the copyright. Using under free use reviews comments. Information for upcoming fan appreciation shows. This is a FREE EPISODE. We do not collect monies from this episode.
VIVA LAS VEGAS! Remember that time California had a blizzard? It was the end of February 2023 and it just so happened to be the weekend we planned to investigate The Pioneer Saloon with our friend Paul Roberts from Ghost Watch Paranormal.
We made our way safely through the CAJON PASS i15 fwy North by leaving a few hours early. Anyway~ we stayed at the South Point Casino hotel and booked a flash light tour at Zak Bagans Haunted Museum.
Our biggest tip is BE FLEXIBLE because our weekend turned out to be different than we thought. Find out our thoughts on Zak Bagan's Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, NV. Did we like it? We have FEELINGS! You can actually see our IRL conversation by becoming a PATRON of ours. And WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT the PARANORMAL DRAMA on TWITTER? INSTAGRAM? YOUTUBE? We get into it!!
We decided to sip on a Tom Collins cocktail because that's our Vegas drink. Ingredients
Have you seen the movie? It's an old black and white starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. It's FABULOUS! The behind the scenes drama also led to another book Bette & Joan Feud by Shaun Considine This book led to the FX series FEUD, a must watch after watching the movie.
It feels like forever since we finished reading the book and we will explain why we took a while longer to record this episode during the podcast. Did we like the book as much as the movie? What led to Jane Hudson being caught? Do you agree with Tamantha about the social etiquette were missing?

Can we just talk about all things The Last of Us? Have you been watching this HBO MAX series? It is based on the action-adventure video game from 2013 by Naughty Dog. We admit we've never played the video games. However, our SPECIAL GUEST has. In fact they're the reason we anticipated this show coming out.
Welcome Sophia Bowman, YES they are Tamantha's daughter and just happens to be a GAMER! Like the best and biggest gamer of our children.
There are many reasons we enjoyed TLOU such as the Diversity, LGBTQIA+ inclusion and the intense action story telling. Every episode hit a LOVE note and made us question what would we do if we were in the story.
Roni and I's pronouns are She/her/hers we kinda skipped over the pronoun introduction as we got right into our discussion with Sophia. Thank you again Sophia for being our guest and expanding our knowledge on TLOU.
Slice and smash or muddle strawberries in a cup or bowl. Add the mint leaves and sugar.
Add ice, vodka, club soda, prosecco and lime juice to a cocktail mixer and shake.
Garnish with strawberry slices and more mint. Enjoy!
Note: For the episode I muddled fruit and mint in each glass. However, I didn't love mine during the recording of the episode. Was it the gin? or that I left out the LIME by accident. It's what happens when I'm focused on too many things at once i.e. family dinner, podcast set-up and not using recipe or note cards. I ended up re-making the cocktail after we were done recording w/vodka and exactly how recipe said to prepare. It was MAGNIFICENT! - T*
The Last of Us theme written & performed by Gustavo Santaollalla On the Nature of Daylight The Blue Notebooks Max Richter The Last of Us video game by Naughty Dog The Last of Us series by HBO Max
YES! We finally got to explore and investigate a haunted ghost ship. Thank you to Rhonda and Elizabeth for asking us to join the crew. It's located in San Diego, CA and we definitely had some activity.
This ship really brought us back to our early Coast Guard seaman days. It also brings to life a lot of 20,000 leagues Under the Sea by Jules Vern vibes. You should make a day trip at the very least to explore this maritime museum. It is historic, grand and all together a sailor's dream. It has been well kept under the watchful eye of Jim and his staff.
For this episode any RUM drink will do. We recorded this episode in room 216 of the Horton Grand hotel located in San Diego's Gas Lamp district just before checking out. So no cocktails for us, just a lot of water to stay hydrated. As our valet said "Always get the LATE checkout." or was it "Happiness is a LATE checkout." We don't disagree, especially for an overnight stay and being up late ghost hunting around the hotel until 2 AM.
So let's get right into it. What did we hear? What did we see? Who were we with? If you like this episode consider joining our PATREON channel. We have a bit more details and BTS for our patrons.
Special THANKS!! to our impromptu guest hosts: Rob Hansen and Elizabeth Toller "Aunt Betsy". Super enjoyed investigating with you!
Ummm the show has finally ended and it's time to reflect on how TWD impacted us as a society. Our husbands join in on the conversation; as we sat on our couches over 11 seasons together many Sunday nights. Don't most couples have a Sunday night show?
Paxton and Tamantha even hosted a Sunday night viewing TWD potluck dinner weekly before the show got DULL. Oops did T* say that? Yes she did. But what brought us back into the TWD fold?
What were our favorite all time moments? How do we feel about the FINAL EPISODE?
The Godfather Cocktail 2 oz Scotch or Bourbon 1/4 oz Amaretto Fill a mixing glass 2/3 full of ice. Add the scotch and amaretto and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
We're BACK! It's been a minute we know. Thank you for tuning in and being here. This episode is a little longer and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.
Do you celebrate Dia de Los Muertos? It isn't Mexican Halloween but a CELEBRATION of life. The life of our loved ones that passed. With the success of Disney's Coco it's hard not to notice these beautiful decorations along side Halloween decor these days. But what is it exactly? How did it come to be? Especially here in the United States. We're going to explore some history and embrace good reasons to celebrate it.
Then our Padre is going to take us down memory lane and tell us a couple spooky stories over the phone from his childhood in San Antonio, TX.
Over crushed ice pour in Tequila and Lime Juice then top off with Topo Chico.
Oh and guess what? Our Ancestry DNA results are in! We're going to let you in on our genetic makeup.
We do request that everyone do some work to APPRECIATE not APPROPRIATE this holiday. It's more than painting your face as a skull. Please recognize the culture beliefs behind it and build an Offend for the next Dia de los Muertos.
“Hearts are wild creatures, that’s why or ribs are cages.” -Morticia Addams
Last Saturday night we were invited by our friends from the Graveyard Mafia Hearse Club to attend a private event. This event was for FUNERAL DIRECTORS at the historic Melrose Abbey Memorial Park located in Anaheim California.
This was a pleasant surprise as we were able to walk the grounds, crypts, chapel and basement at night. We met up with our friends Cameron and Dante who escorted us around this spirited place.

In anticipation of the TV series coming out and in memory of Anne Rice we decided to re-read The Vampire Chronicles Interview with the Vampire earlier this year. We were heading to New Orleans and felt this would be the perfect Virtual Book Club pick. Be sure to follow our Instagram account for Book Club announcements.
So why not re-watch the 1994 movie too? Well as you know, the book is not only different but usually always better in most cases. Anne Rice 1976 novel solidified her stance on inclusion of all outcast.

It’s a Wonderful Life starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed was not a box office hit. So how did it become a family tradition over the holiday season? Tamantha’s family has watched this movie annually beginning it Christmas Eve night before bed and finishing it Christmas morning.
If you haven’t watched this film in a while or not at all it’s a bright light amongst the Holiday romcom’s and salacious favorites. This movie is nostalgic yes, but it is also delightfully funny, romantic and suspenseful as George Bailey discovers why his Life is IMPORTANT no matter the dramatic situation he finds himself in on Christmas Eve.
Find out why this movie resonates today and is worth a watch.

Santa Ana Heritage Museum OC the Kellogg house. Mr. Kellogg built this Queen Ann era Victorian for his second wife as a wedding gift. Find out what happened to Sybil because we could not find this story on the internet. Our host confirmed what our friend saw and told us the story.

Basically, Stephen King vs Stanley Kubrick and although the movie is a horror feat we are siding with Stephen here. We’re going to have some spoilers if you haven’t read the book but THEY’RE worth hearing. Who’s character was done DIRTY? Why did the film adaptation differ so much? You may be surprised just like we were.
Did we like the REDRUM cocktail?

Muddle cherries in the bottom of your glass fill w/ice. Shake all other ingredients and pour over ice. Garnish with cinnamon stick.

You still should read the book or at least get the audio version to play during your commute or while your decorating for the Holidays.
We’re still unsure about the cocktail but this episode is our most favorite to date.
Slight trigger warning. Rape is briefly mentioned in this episode. In reference to Kirk Douglas and Natalie Woods sister’s book.
Have you ever sailed the Seven Seas? Or seen a live SEA MONSTER? Krakens derive from Greek Mythology and have us mystified.
We venture into the depths of the deep dark abyss ocean telling tales and the fascination with the KRAKEN SEA MONSTER.
Having just finished reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne written in 1870 Tamantha is fascinated by the novels technical advancements, environmentalists attitude and incredible situations within the story. Wait? The KRAKEN is the Nautilis.
Why did Walt Disney’s movie available on Disney + version differ from the book? Roni enjoys The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie released in 2003 to this day.
We compare book vs movies and tell our own SEA STORIES while we were underway in the U. S. Coast Guard.
Dark and Stormy 1 oz Kraken Rum Juice of 1 Lime 3 parts Ginger Beer Garnish w/Lime wheel

We do love a good QT film and Once Upon A Time in HOLLYWOOD 2019 did not disappoint. Oh to be hippies. Just kidding those F*kn Hippies are not OK! This movie is filled with fun quotes and nostalgic scenes. Seriously though, this pop culture movie hit brought out the BEST of a very tragic true crime story. The bromance ensues while a very different SPOILER ALERT Sharon Tate ending plays out. Based on a couple real characters most of the movie is not based on the true story.
We explore Charles Manson’s hippie cult and who is vulnerable to being in a cult. It may surprise you. It certainly wasn’t all peace, love and happiness.
Do we have a connection to Manson? In a weird way we do.
If you’re in Los Angeles you should definitely eat at El Coyote Cafe and Casa Vega Both of these historic restaurants are featured in the film. How does the food and margaritas measure up? We’ll give you our review.
Roni makes us a frozen Flame Thrower Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita.
1 oz Contreau 2 oz Tequila (Thanks for the bday drizzly order Ms. Chrissy!) .75 oz Fresh Lime Juice (from T’s tree) .5 cup whole Strawberries .25 oz Simple Syrup (T made ours) 1 slice Jalapeño (1 slice Spicy, 2 slices Hot, 2 slices FIRE) .5 cup crushed ice
Step 1 Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender & blend to combine. Step 2 Pour into a margarita glass (we used vintage tumblers) rimmed with chili-lime seasoning. Sprinkle more chili-lime seasoning on top of cocktail if desired.
Come with us on a historic tour of the Howe-Waffle House located in Santa Ana, California. “Still a cool Santa Ana landmark, just without the waffles.”- Tami M. Zyrsago.
Is it haunted? You can be the judge of that since that’s not what they’re selling, even if you caught that YOST Theater episode of Ghost Adventures you may be surprised to know it did not add up.
We enjoy a very Victorian flavor in our Rhubarb Bellini’s. 4 oz St Germain Liquor 2 1/2 oz Rhurbard Syrup (T* made it) 4 oz Chilled Prosecco
In a chilled champagne glass add St. Germain Liquor, Rhurbard Syrup and top with Chilled Prosecco. Cheers!

Frank Herbert’s book to David Lynch and now Denis Villeneuve! As we sip on Campari Tonics.

We are enamored with the Conjuring Universe movie franchise and the couple behind the movies. Being raised Catholic our faith crosses paths with delight in what these movies bring to life. With jump scares, superstition and Jesus winning.
Our conversation visits some fun facts about Ed and Lorraine Warren. But how exactly did Tamantha get a hold of some Vatican Holy Water? Oh and she just happened to attend the Annabell 2 movie premiere as a guest of Stephanie Sigman? Total name drop.
Full Moon Martini 1/2 cup Coconut Cream 1/2 cup Water 1 oz Vodka *we like King St. Blackberries to garnish Sugar to rim glass
Combine 1/2 cup water w/a 1/2 cup coconuts cream, mix well and pour into circular ice cube molds. Place into freezer for 5-6 hours. We popped our coconuts spheres into a coupe glass, poured our vodka right over the sphere and garnished with blackberries. This step is different from the recipe link below. We enjoyed watching our coconuts cream spheres melt down to create a lovely vodka slush.
One two...we’re coming for you... Are you a 1980’s teenager like us? We were only 10 years old when the Nightmare franchise began and didn’t watch Wes Craven’s film till 3 years later. It probably was on HBO or something our Grandma Gay had subscribed to on cable.
Anyway, here we are discussing Freddy the monster icon that he is. 1980’s horror and where Roni met Robert Englund out of character. Oh, and are you familiar with Josh Gates Tonight? T* is a new fan girl of his. We feel like we’re connected in his pandemic show format. Coincidence?
Nightmare on Elm Street continues to trend with Vans release of the Horror collection which includes a X Nightmare on Elm Street Sk8 High shoe. We’re here for it.
Although the pandemic kept us from traveling to new haunts, we’ve made the most of what is available to us. This season we are hyper focused on POP CULTURE, LOCAL SO CAL SPOTS and showing you what we’re working on at home. We’ve had some fun and hope you will join us for all of SEASON 2.

Who really is the monster in this story? We visit and discuss the frantic tale of Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus written by English author Mary Shelley in 1818.
We’re engrossed with revisiting Classic Monsters. After our Valentine’s Episode #20 titled My Darling Dracula aired a friend requested that we feature Frankenstein next. We were happy to oblige.
This horrific tale written by Mary Shelley (original author of Sci-Fi) that pits science and religion against each other. Her story full of anguish, questions our own morals and ethics in the name of those we love. Join us and explore the true nature of humanity and the relatability of this astonishing story.
No episode would be complete without a lovely refreshment while we talk about this garish monster and similar or inspired pop culture points of interest.
Roni found this delightful drink on Lauren Conrad’s blog which was posted in 2018.
Frankenstein Matcha Mule 2 oz. Vodka 2 oz. Ginger Beer 4 oz. Iced Matcha Green Tea or Powder 1/2 oz. Lemon Juice Black Sprinkles or Sugar Honey
Coat rim of your glass in honey and then dip in black sprinkles (T used black sugar). Squeeze lemon juice into your glass. Pour vodka, ginger beer and matcha green tea over ice and stir.

We’re heading back in time to talk about Roni’s Ireland day trip and the Cranberries concert at Wembley Stadium in 1999. How do you spend a night, day and mornin’ in Dublin, Ireland? You definitely don’t want to miss you your ferry.
Haunted Castles, Mystical fairies, butterflies, mermaids and the Headless Horseman enchant us in this episode. Not necessarily in that order, but they all have Ireland in common.
It doesn’t get any easier than a green beer or freshly popped can of Guinness for St. Patrick’s Day. We hope you all had a bit of fun and Irish cheer this week.
A HUGE Pop-Culture moment just happened and it was on the biggest stage in the world during the Superbowl half time show on Feb 9, 2025. We couldn't stop thinking about it and so THIS IS US. Please enjoy our 2nd official episode of Season 5.
We are thrilled to finally discuss the Stranger Things Drive-Into experience in Los Angeles. As Roni went in Jan 2021 and waited patiently for T to go this past Saturday night.
First up, TIP ALERTS if you are planning to attend. It is running through April 2021. Second, we’re giving you a SPOILER WARNING while we discuss the effortless Rum and Coke or Cuba Libre cocktails.
Let the countdown begin because its no holds barred. We are spilling the tea on our splurgy family night out to Los Angeles for the Stranger Things drive-into experience. We even found a few fun facts about the series and it’s cast.
Rum and Coke 2:1 ratio Silver Rum (or your choice) and Coke (preferably Mexican Coke in a bottle) Pour rum and coke into high ball glass leave room for ice. Top with ice to save carbonation. Mexican Coke uses real sugar vs American w/high fructose corn syrup.
Cuba Libre (T’s choice) 1.5 oz Gold or Aged Rum (Sailor Jerry’s or the Kraken) 1/2 a Lime Juice 4 oz Mexican Coke preferred
Pour rum, lime juice and coke in glass then top with ice. Garnish w/lime wedge. Did you like our show? Please subscribe, rate and download your favorite episodes.
Erin Go Bragh! We’re celebrating our affections for Ireland and our beloved St. Patrick. Roni tells us of her 15+ year annual open house celebration while we sip on an awe-inspiring green drink.
We skipped the Guinness and took it back to T’s Waikiki club days with the infamous Midori Sour.
Midori Sour (Three Ingredient) 2oz Midori Liquere 1oz Fresh Lime Juice 1 Raw Egg White (yes we drank it)
Shake all ingredients well, to get a nice froth and pour into your favorite cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Recipe: The Educated Barfly (New York Barman John deBary)
Is it a shamrock or clover? Who in the world celebrates this holiday? Are there snakes in Ireland? Listen in on our conversation sprinkled with facts, legends and tradition. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Cheers.
Oh how we LOVE Hollywood! Having grown up not far from La-La Land we have so many fond memories of our beloved movie making town. In this episode we’re focusing on the The Hollywood Roosevelt, the now TCL Chinese Theaters aka Grauman’s Chinese Theatere and our Oscar party nights. All while sipping Roni’s cocktail of choice a DIRTY MARTINI! Extra dirty please.
DIRTY MARTINI 2 1/2 oz Gin or Vodka 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth 1/2 oz Olive Brine Garnish 2-4 Green Olives
Add Gin or Vodka, Dry Vermouth and Olive Brine over ice. Shake and pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish w/skewered olives. Shaken not stirred we like chips of ice and James Bond.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a twin? Or wanted to ask twins a specific question? Welp, in this episode we’re giving you some hard truths about our psychic abilities, our secret language and a couple of our favorite twin stories. Oh and it’s MARDI GRAS so we’re enjoying ourselves a HURRICANE cocktail.
Hurricane 1oz Dark Rum 1oz Light Run 1oz Grenandine (Pomegranite juice reduced w/sugar) 1oz Passionfruit juice (also reduced w/sugar) 1/2 a Lime Juice
Shake over ice and pour into your favorite glass. We prefer our old Hard Rock Cafe souvenir glasses or throw cups from Mardi Gras past. If you feel fancy float Dark Rum at end then garnish w/orange slice and maraschino cherry on a pick.
