This Follow-Up Friday is rife—and ripe—with recaps and recommendations. We unpack what those words actually mean (and when to use them), share TV, movie, and podcast recs, and swap stories—including a TikTok scam cautionary tale. We will take you along on our recent ghost hunt in a haunted theater, and we hear a paranormal tale straight from the mouth of a listener. This episode is rife with stories and ripe with laughter.

Perched on the edge of The Grande Ronde Valley, The Lodge at Hot Lake Springs, also known as Hot Lake Hotel, has a rich and fascinating past. In this episode, we explore the history of the infamous Eastern Oregon landmark, from its early days as a luxury resort, to its later years as a hospital and sanitorium. Along the way, we share the ghost stories told in our childhood that still hover in the air, like the steam that rises from the lake. Now renovated, this boutique hotel is a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing place to stay. Just don't be surprised if you sense something watching from the windows or lingering outside your door. But don't worry! If there are ghosts here, we are sure they are friendly... (at least we think!)

It's time for Illinois cryptids people!

In this episode, we head to the Prairie State to uncover some of Illinois' most chilling cryptids. From the 1970's encounter with a creature dubbed The Enfield Horror, to the large and smelly Tuttle Bottoms Monster, to the ancient and mysterious Piasa Bird, a massive man eating creature painted on the cliffs along the Mississippi hundreds of years ago, Illinois has many monsters lurking in the shadows, and The Spooky Darlings will try to uncover them!

Turn the lights down low, and the volume up! It's time to get spooky, darlings.
