Death Coven

Episode 58: The Bed as a Sanctuary and the Amityville Haunting

Hey ghouls! We're slapping down another spooky scary episode for you this fine October Thursday. Skye asks the question on everyone's mind: Why are ghosts obsessed with feet? We're all thinking it. Then Poppy tells us all about one of the most famous hauntings in the world, the Amityville Haunting, and its lasting impact on the horror genre. This one's full of ghosts, demons, and goo! If you'd like to skip the hypothetical, in which we discuss a bachelor party for Chadlock the Warlock, zoom through to 11:13. Note: We had some weird audio stuff going on in the last twenty minutes of the episode, so if you hear any warbles or gurgles, it's probably just the spirit possessing our podcasting equipment.

Episode 55: Daddy Issues and The Three Body Problem

Mommy Poppy is away on vacation this week so you little freaks are trapped here with US (River and Skye)!! In today's episode River takes over doing the hypothetical(s) and then Skye will regale us of a personal experience of hers that is sort of a personal sovereignty addendum/a real life practical look at what working through personal growth with a death deity actually looks like. We hope you enjoy a couple of friends just yammering on with each other being both silly and serious! Is it cliche if it's true? Perhaps it's both, maybe it's okay to be cliche.

Episode 54: The Incident (...and Saint Olga of Kiev, I guess)

Weird episode y'all, not gonna lie. Due to some mysterious strangely timed technical difficulties, we conveniently lost all of Skye's presentation on the Schumann Resonance, during which she detailed four recent reality warping events she's personally experienced. Thankfully, she was able to preserve one of them through a voice note sent to River immediately after the first incident. We'll start with that and then tack on Poppy's tale of Olga of Kiev, the vengeful saint, at the end. The high strangeness in our lives has continued after recording, so listen at your own risk and blessed be. Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review!
