Episode 82 – Mysterious Muertos

November 02, 2020

In this Dia De Los Muertos special, Cody and Chris look at the mysterious side of death, talking about unexplained (and maybe paranormal) deaths that were never resolved. First, Cody discusses Tamin Shud (aka the Somerton Man), a well-dressed man (with amazing calves) who was murdered (maybe) in Australia. Then, Chris talks about the crazy last week in the life of master of macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, whose death has yet to be explained. Next, Cody shares the Dyatlov Pass incident, an insane story about a group of Russian hikers that includes tongue-removal, hypothermia, and even radioactive clothing. Finally, Chris talks about a family - complete with their Satanic Bible - that disappeared after possibly encountering some roof ghosts. Creep of the Week is a doozy from Sam from the podcast, Real Horrorshow. This week’s drinks are Watermelon/Mint and Pineapple/Mint agua fresca, and Second Voyage Red Blend.
