Ghoul On Ghoul

Amanda and Sarah get real loopy in this extra-long episode about warding and winged cryptids. Sarah explains the origins of the cornicello, the evil eye, and the Roman obsessions with dicks. Amanda gets inspired by her recent trip to the Pacific Northwest with a tale about the Batsquatch of Mount St. Helens. Other subjects covered include little Caboodles, dog clothes for humans, and messy adventures aboard Viking River cruises.  Recommendations: Sarah recommends (not really) the horror films A House on the Bayou and An American Werewolf in London. Amanda recommends the 1987 thriller Suspect.  Sources: Wikipedia/Fascinus Wikipedia/Cornicello Top 7 Things to Know about Malocchio or the Italian Evil Eye Atlas Obscura (Romans Used to Ward Off Sickness With Flying Penis Amulets) Spooked - Episode 211: Holy Ghost LA Times (Ancient Deities Dwelt in Cascades’ ‘Black Snow’ : Mythology: Native American legends give life to volcanic activity.
