Banshees And Booze

Pass the Meowie Wowie, man! This week Amie and Tami talk about everything they can think of that isn't ghosts for the longest time... and THEN ghosts. In honor of the upcoming Oscars (like, whenever that is...) once again we scour the pee and poo-soaked streets to bring you tales of haunted HOLLYWOOD! Amie shares some selected stories of your favorite A-listers who have had been haunted by more than just their past Red Carpet faux pas, and Tami is just using Google Maps at this point to find every damn haunted address on Hollywood Blvd. Why is there so much pee anxiety in this one??? .

How old were you when your parents were your current age? THAT'S TOO WEIRD!!!! This week's Fifty States of Ghosts is taking us to CONNECTICUT! Tami drops a big-time name in her research of the Union Cemetery in Easton, and Amie fills us in on the spookiest Ernie in existence at the New London Ledge Lighthouse. Savage those decks, and ponder this: how many times can Tami quote Craig T. Nelson? The limit does not exist... .

Where are you going for your first Hug Vacation? In honor of National Beer Day on April 7th, this week we're talking HAUNTED BREWERIES!!! Or Booooo-eries; lololol forever. Amie goes northwest to talk about Portland's Old Town Pizza and Brewing, where the former hotel used to be frequented by seedy-types and missionaries alike. And don't even get Tami started on elevator types! Next up is Moon River Brewing Company in Savannah, Georgia, where the most boring and confusing duel may have led to the creepy goings ons in this old AF building. We hope you're one step closer to vaccination stations, and don't forget: sad-buying pants at Target is valid! .

Californiaaaaaaa knows how to partay! And we know how to drink... This installment in our 50 States of Ghosts series has researching stretching from the San Fransisco Bay all the way to Beverly Hills, skipping all that flyover part in between. Tami takes advice from some TripAdvisor reviews and sips sherry and nibbles cookies while discussing a ghost that was embroiled in what passed for a sex scandal in the 1880s. And Amie gets Old Hollywood glam researching the famous Pickfair estate, it's ghostly history, and untimely demise. This episode may pass for estimable!

Why does Tami owe Amie $1.99? Because she temporarily took leave of her senses and suggested watching episodes of GHOST ADVENTURES! No, really! Both gals need their beers more than ever, as Amie watches a special quarantine version of the show filmed in the haunted museum bro bubble. What do Jack Kevorkian and Natalie Wood have in common? This episode! And Tami tries for 0.3 seconds to open her heart to the show, but this episode investigating Goatman's Bridge rated too high on the Zak-o-meter for there to have been a chance of reconciliation. Just SAY you want to have a tea party and choke each other out: no kink shaming here! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Is it just Tami, or is it drunk in here? In this installment of 50 States of Ghosts, the gals investigate the haunted as hell state of VIRGINIA! And what would an episode of Virginia be without a little vagina talk at the top? Not our show, that's for sure! Amie talks about the Virginia Beach hotel, The Cavalier, that has everything from a beer mogul connection to a ghost cat (!!!), but not one damn helpful Trip Advisor review. And Tami punishes us all with a bonus drink during her research into the Randolph House in Colonial Williamsburg, and makes more Hamilton references than is typical for her. And the Banshees share their opinions on the recent Netflix Cecil Hotel docuseries. I'm sorry, they put WHAT in pickle barrel? .

Happy International Women's Day! Check your internet connections, and curse your Zoom account, because Amie and Tami are raising their glasses this week to FEMALE GHOST HUNTERS! Tami finds the actual personification of her soul in the burlesque dancing, ghost-hunting Dallasites, The Ghost Babes, and Amie passes over some questionable cocktail names at the Gettysburg b&b that serves as the home base for the female paranormal investigators of the Gettysburg Ghost Gals. Make sure your cat chakra isn't blocked, and never trust butter that you need to shake! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

In Illinois, is there life outside of Chicago? Why, yes! There's life.... and DEATH! Fasten your seatbelts, especially if you're traveling eastbound, apparently, because the next installment in our Fifty States of Ghosts series is: ILLINOIS! (I know, I already said it, but I like seeing it in ALL CAPS!) Amie spooks us out with tales from the magestically haunted Joliet Prison, and Tami recycles research from last week for a haunted intersection with some serious goodboi vibes. We obliterated this one... like a pirate. . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Coming in with the BIG beanie energy! This week the Banshees are taking a bit of the hair of the dog and tackling GHOST ANIMALS! Warm up with a spiked cider, or cool off with a tropical Lint Roller (kitty litter?), and make up your own Reddit user names as Amie and Tami explore the varied and spooky world of animal spirits. And a bonus: a spooky animal story from Amie that Tami had never heard! Whose a good kitty, Wiggy? .

Is it over yet? Amie and Tami wanted to take a break from the shitshow to say a big and heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing listeners who have stuck by us through... like, all the things people can go through? If there's one thing we can be grateful for this Year That Shall Not Be Named, it's you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and join us in raising a glass to toast the next year! And 2020? Boy, bye! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

When this floor's a-rhymthic thumpin'... you know that old saying! Amie and Tami have got the messy bun blues this week, but it's nothing that can't be cured by a couple of brand new spooky stories brought to you by the state of MAINE! You guys: it turns out Maine is hella haunted by sea captains, who may or may not be murdering philanderers. Amie tells the hobbling tale of the footless ghost of Benton Falls (YIKES) and Tami looks into Nelly Butler, aka America's first documented ghost! Grab your corn cobs and tell those squirrels to brush up on their Italian and French! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Wait, ghost hunters can be (*checks notes) ATTRACTIVE???? This week Amie and Tami finally find the ghost hunting show that they've been waiting for their whole lives: GHOST BROTHERS! Tami reviews an episode investigating the Cocke County Memorial Building where the body parts from a plane that 'sploded got Tetrised back together (ew!), and Amie's episode looked into a haunted river boat where hundreds of people died, but no one can answer why or address that in any way. Listen this week to answer two important questions: are ghosts for real, and can our cats actually talk? .

Uh oh, we're getting PG-13 on this Outkast-sponsored* episode of Banshees and Booze! Pardon our therapy, but when shame-drinking is sort of your brand, you gotta talk it out sometimes before you get to the good part: more drinking! This week is a continuation of our (say it with us like it's Wheel of Fortune:) 50 States of Ghosts series, and the lucky bottlecap pull was MARYLAND! Wishing for oyster shooters in a pandemic, Amie discussed the haunted and shockingly tall Lord Baltimore Hotel where there are some double dating ghosts and a SUSS bartender who may be into some light S&M. And, strap in, Harry, becaue Tami goes full-Hermione on The Bloody Lane or The Battlefield of Antietam from the (soon to be a sequel!) American Civil War. We're haunted by houses without floors and Trader Joe's Orange Chicken. Cheers, Maryland! *lying .

Gobble gobble, motherfuckers! Brush up on your Western Swing and indulge in your need for liberal liquid lubrication, because it's quarantine T-Gives, baby! This week Amie and Tami decided to focus on the one good things about this land-stealing sham of a holiday: FOOD! Tami finds an honest to god real town called Turkey, Texas, and guess what? It's got a haunted AF hotel! Ghosts are not the worst case scenario when you're as haunted by the horror of dirty hotel rooms. And Amie is practically writing a pilot starring the worthless and occasionally over-educated employees of a few haunted grocery stores. Get your corporate Twitter accounts ready, because it turns out it's always a wig when you're a ghost with a withholding mother! WEAR A MASK! .

Trick or Treat? It must be a treat, because WE'RE BACK! (Probably!) We couldn't let our favorite holiday pass without chatting your ears off about some spooky paranormal stuff, and all the other spooky stuff as well! This Halloween we're talking: HAUNTED HOUSES and bringing back our old tradition of campfire stories. How many axe murderers were there at the world's worst sleepover in 1912? And when would it be ok to steal a witch's stuff? Spoiler alert: never! But try telling that to the dummy high sheriff of Salem during the witch trials. We're gonna make it through this pandemic together as long as we stick to these simple rules: don't do layers, wear a mask, and if you see a ghost.... VOTE! .

Have we always been this way, or is it Pandemic Brain? This week the Fifty States of Ghosts entry is WISCONSIN! Tami braves the possibility of puking on air, but comes away with a new favorite (?) weird drink inspired by Nelsen's Bitters Pub on Washington Island. And Amie makes retirement plans at a haunted mansion called Summer Wind where literally everything is terrifying and there are NO BOYS ALLOWED! Get ready to taste a Christmas tree and remember to sage that shit! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

What does it say that we forgot about Mothers' Day? Probably that time doesn't exist anymore, and you can't go anywhere, because this week's theme is COVID CLOSURES! Amie gets her trademark amount of vitamin C and alcohol while discussing several haunted retail locations all over America, and Tami gets cheeky with some Beefeaters at The Tower of London. The ghosts this week can't catch a break as they are constantly stabbed by bayonets, ignored, or even fat-shamed! It's enough to make you want to jump down a whale of a well. And if you want to see Tami's Zoom play, check out this link to purchase tickets, all proceeds going to two great charities: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSftRgz8JKR3MbmGVWlEs7ySlrCge_fgsdS3Kjb5vfbe3-hFng/viewform .

Laissez les ghosties rouler! This weke Amie and Tami are continuing the Fifty States of Ghosts series with a trip to the hella haunted state of LOUISIANA! Both ladies have the southern cocktails of their dreams while the chat about a few of the many haunted locales outside of New Orleans. Tami talks about the complicated and problematic history of a plantation that makes an appearance in a great (read: terrible) guilty pleasure movie, and Amie makes us reservations for a B&B with a tragic past where the original owner might still be around to check in guests. There's binge rec's and cat chat, and all of this while discussing proper booty hygiene. It's a real mixed bag on this week's Banshees and Booze! .

How long is too long to get a pair of headphones on our head? And is canned champagne basement garbage trash or fancy AF? These are the important questions we're asking on day 19,710 of quarantine! This week Amie and Tami do a deep dive into their roots and report on some fo the world's original GHOST HUNTERS! Amie sips a fake mai tai with loads of vitamin C while reporting on Harry Price: kept-gentleman ghost hunter. And Tami chugs too much André Brut while talking about the prolific author (no, like REALLY prolific) and ghost hunter Hans Holzer. If you need some self-help ghost books, you've come to the right place, because both ladies have had paranormal experiences in their homes recently, and want your advice on wtf to do? It's a solid 3-star review for glass straws this week: watch some Kermit going IG live and join us! .

You better turn off that light when you leave the room, because there are Dad jokes all over this podcast today! This week Amie and Tami delve into the first state pulled from the fancy new random state bottlecap system(you'll have to check it out on Instagram!), and the lucky first pick is: FLORIDA! Tami sips a Meredith Palmer and talks about a place in Florida that has a strip mall full of bars, but is NOT Key West (who knew?). And Amie gets her Sunshine State vitamin C while teaching us a little something about the spooky history of the House of Refuge. Is it a cold or just depression? Grab your protective charm of choice: crystals, enchanted wood, or a drink, and come with us! .
