Banshees And Booze

If you're not here for goat erotica, what are you here for? This week gets sloppy as Amie and Tami layer up and explore HAUNTED ALASKA! Tami features an auditorium with the confusing name of Wendy Williamson and an even more confusingly written article about it. Amie has some things to say about the less-than-helpful TripAdvisor reviews at the Historic Anchorage Hotel. The gals share their stay-fit-at-home quarantine tips (hint: it involves talking loved ones into compromising the aesthetics of their living rooms), and ask the eternal question: why would a Leo want someone else's leg? .

How the hell do you get carded in a pandemic??? Amie and Tami are feeling the beat this week as they revisit the topic of GHOST MUSICIANS. Amie has a flagrant drink to go with her fragrantly flamboyant topic: the ghost of Liberace! And Tami made a real-live cocktail with tummy consequences to talk about the ghost of John Lennon! There are stories from apartments past and a shockingly enthusiastic Banshees and Binge segment. For every thousand burps, we give you one mouth fart: that's just math. .

There once was a horse named Grapeshot.... wait, forget that story. This week is the first ever episode of a series we're calling 50 States of Ghosts! (Or goats, if you're already drunk like Tami.) North Dakota has the honor of being the first state in our line up, and did we have some fun with accents! Tami talks about the weird layout of the former Governor's mansion in Bismark, and the ghosts up in the attic, and Amie taps a surprisingly literary 15 year old's personal stories at the Children's Museum in Fargo! There are nearly tears with this week's Banshees and Binge, but we're still hanging in there. and we're gonna get through this. Right guys? The booze helps.... .

It's all coming back, like Celine The Queen promised! Amie and Tami break their hiatus early to talk about (what else?) PLAGUE GHOSTS! Crack open a Corona (honestly, this episode wrote itself) and hear about the victims of the Bubonic Plague (or Black Plague?, or Black Death?) still haunting an island and the back of Tami's memory. And Tami gets personal with talk of her survival genes and a ghost that wasn't as lucky in the 1918 Flu Epidemic. There's an amazing Up Ghost and Personal from a listener about a hospital visitor who may have been dead already, and the gals introduce a new segment designed to keep you entertained while everyone is stuck inside. DAD! GET OUT OF THE ATTIC, it's time for the return of Banshees and Booze! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Ok, it's not too spooky, but we had to stay on brand. Amie and Tami are taking a tiny little break so they can catch their breath and detox their livers after a nonstop 100 episode run. Stay subscribed to hear the newest episode after the break, and updates along the way. Also, this is a damn ghost show, so you KNOW we've got a great listener ghost story! Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you Banshees and Boozers really soon!

Merry Christmas Eve, if you care! Amie and Tami drink like the rescue St. Bernards with some brandy down their throats (and up noses), while getting every part of the Christmas story completely wrong! This week they hear stories of people who were saved by ghosts. Tami starts a feud with a British guy who is actively ignoring the diagnostic powers of his dog while also appropriating the HECK out of some culture that ain't his, and Amie gets Tami thirst for Dale Earnhart, Jr., who is like suuuuuper sure a ghost pulled him from a fiery crash. And the moment you've been waiting one whole episode for: what's the exact line from Muppet Christmas Carol? This one's a boozy doozy, folks! Happy Holidays! .

Look out people because we're about to scare the jingle Bells out of you! The Christmas Spirit is in full swing while we tell tales of GHOSTS AT CHRISTMAS!!! Sip the last of the TCM Wine Club Box prosecco (RIP, income!) while Tami shares two stories, at least one of which has real life SWEARS in it (oh no!), and spike that egg nog and listen to a heartwarming tale of a Christmas miracle in Chicago, and learn that the girls really need Ken Burns on a hotline. This one made us have feelings... like two whole feelings, y'all. .

Vaginas and ghosts: here we go! This week we're shaming the non-believers by telling stories of people who went from skeptic to paranormal converts! Amie's sipping on some Bailey's while she shares Rory's flip-flopper of a tale about living in a haunted house with his mam who might be Ringo. And Tami found her soul in a can with PBR Extra (the extra is for more alcohol!), and a Reddit thread that basically did her work for her. Pop a Xanax or get some guilt wine, because this is an international flight to Ghost Town! (It's in Europe.) .

You know the old saying: he who surfed it, turfed it. Break out those old Boardwalk Empire boxsets, because this week we're celebrating REPEAL DAY! Amie's foamy beer is no match for Tami's bourbon when her drunk becomes contagious. Hear about the haunted Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky and the two little ghost girls who very smartly moved in with this show's kind of people: a terrified ghost tour guide. And travel to the most speak easy-related place you can think of: a children's museum with a dark past that would scare the apprenticeship out of any journeyman. We're so gangster, we're blotto this week. Happy We Can Drink Again Day! .

Are those knee breeches, or did Amie just (FINALLY) see Hamilton? Grab your passports and your travel flasks, because this week is OUR HAUNTED VACATIONS! Amie spent some time in Chicago, and tells us about a haunted hotel where the only thing scarier than the DOZENS of ghosts are the TripAdvisor reviews (2-stars; no hot water). And Tami tells tales of (Old, OG, Hipster) York inspired by the ghost walk she somehow lived through. And speaking of, listen to an interview with the owner and host of Shadows of York Ghostwalk, Mackenzie! Meal prep with some Sultry Poultry and say Hello Halloumi, because we're working with some lean protein kinda energy over here! . Shadows of York Ghostwalk: https://www.shadowsofyork.co.uk/ .

Mercury's in Retrograde, so if you're seeing this episode you've already outsmarted your smartphone! Time to bug your granny for some stories, because this week we're talking FOLKLORE! Amie dives into the world of Native American tales with stories from the Caddo and Wabanaki tribes, and a Washpee choose your own adventure story that still has us confused about the moral of the story. Tami dances her way around fairy trees and straight into fairy rings while we all think twice about wishing for the luck of the Irish (spoiler: it's all bad!). Flash your flap and become a worldly drinker you big time...... person? . Amie's source: Native-languages.org .

What do you get when a highly-populated island is hit by a deadly storm killing thousands? Ghost Town, USA, aka Galveston, Texas! We're doing a special request episode thanks to listener Larry, and boy does it have us SHIVERING. Hear the sad tale of the orphanage completely wiped out in the 1900 Great Storm and the ghostly activity in the site's new resident: a Walmart! And Amie tells us about not one, not two, but THREE versions of the Tremont Hotel, which can't seem to rebrand its way out of being haunted af! Avoid cloyingly sweet (SAT word) drinks and remember, remember that Disneyland rides are scary! .

Give us a few days of Fall and we'll give you hot ears and even hotter brain tumors! This week we watch episodes of paranormal shows and pee ourselves so you don't have to. Amie takes on yet ANOTHER creepy imaginary friend ghost in an episode of Paranormal Survivor (not sure we call it surviving...), and Tami subjects herself to a double episode of Most Haunted that goes inside Her Majesty's Haunted-Ass Prison, where we learn about the unintentionally sexy (NOT AT ALL) hanged-man death mask trade. Jump into those skinny jeans and toss a couple of crowbars!

Spoopy Halloween, everyone! We're keeping our tradition of reading creepy campfire stories, both real and fictional! Amie gets buzzed on some Babysitter's Brew while recounting a story about a locked room and an imaginary friend who was a ghosty gaslighter. Tami seriously spiked her hot chocolate and tells tales of a haunted garage band (aren't they all?) and a cursed images website with its own set of curses. Get your pancakes to go and figure out why you weren't cool in high school, cuz it's time to play doctor on this week's Banshees and Booze! .

Grab a room temperature beer and DON'T mention the other thing you just thought of, because this week we're going to GERMANY! Fresh off the heels of Oktoberfest, Tami talks jilted lovers in a haunted castle, with the first of two BONUS HAUNTINGS in the backyard! Amie gets literary with the story of the real-life Frankenstein Castle, and everyone tries to not make it about Harry Potter but there were DRAGONS, for crying out loud. Tami's too verbally visual to comply with German purity laws (yikes). Also hear about the woman who made the news for being Amie and Tami's hero. Prost! .

It's Halloween (decoration) season!!! Start getting spooky along with us, as Amie and Tami try to scam the health insurance industry... wait, I mean talk about ghosts. This week's theme is haunted tourist attractions, and boy were there a ton! Amie takes us to Rose Hall in Jamaica where a wypipo witch was torturing enslaved people and committing various forms of husbandcide. Tami just got back from her own tour of the Catacombs of Paris (all by herself, even!) where the bodies of some 6 million Parisians have been moved and piled up in a very fashionable and extremely creepy way. And learn about the cataphiles who wither sneak into the catacombs or just love cats and combing them. Get ready to be redirected through a gift shop! .

THIS IS WHAT WE TRAINED FOR, PEOPLE!!! Amie and Tami are pulling no punches with this week's topic: GHOST KIDS! It's a hard knock life for orphans basically always, as Amie sips on a Please Sir, I Want Some Moremosa while exploring the leaset depressing and still VERY depressing story of the Gore Orphanage. We're pretty sure that's not how recycling works, btw. And Tami breaks glass in case of emergency because this story has it all: cats, sleep paralysis, and a dead kid! It's straight whisky for this episode in our pre- and post-Dear David world. Seriously, do not be driving a car while you listen, and for goodness sake TURN OFF FUCKING SIRI.

Finding yourself emotionally, physically, and intellectually constipated? Then you've come to the right place! This week Amie and Tami are flashing back to their 80s roots and taking us all to the mall! Amie tells the terrifying and occasionally controversial personal tales from a haunted mall in Jakarta, and Tami learns about a Wal-Mart in Panorama City, California that's offering more than just everyday low prices (spoiler alert: it's also ghosts). Make sure you're not on your period and grab an Auntie Anne's pretzel! .

Where does our debt go when we die? Who knows: but this week we make Amie's verbal will (Tami calls her cat) just in case we're killed at sea and become: MARITIME GHOSTS! Hear some A+ fucking transitions while chugging a few Dark and Stormies that are more like Light and Foggy Ginger Boggies. Amie lets les bons temps rouler in Pirate's Alley with tales of a shockingly romantic gentleman pirate, and Tami works against her rum to say simple words like reefs while telling the tale of a ghost ship where the women and children were NOT first. Hop in this 50-50 shot boat, and hire a skeleton crew, because it turns out rum is liquid comedy! .
