Oct 29, 2026 · 1 hr 19 min · 13 segments
*CW for mentions of child death and postpartum mental health issues* PLEASE LIKE/RATE/SUSRCIBE OR WE'LL CRY OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE. It finally happened - we met in person! This is our 5th Halloween…
So, with Em, we got into what urban legends are, how they differ from wider folklore, and what they tell us about ourselves.
The theme is still going this month, so we had to pick another iconic female entity that seems to pop up in local folklore the world over.
The woman in white.
This is actually...
So anybody who listened to our first season, I talked about, I think it was in our Haunted Roads episode.
I talked about that there was this story from right outside my hometown and it was a disappearing hitchhiker story.
But it's also, there's a lot of crossover with Women in White.
So technically, Women in White, Disappearing Hitchhiker is the first urban legend I ever heard because I heard it as a kid.
So I think it's just really cool that we're covering it now.
You know what's so crazy? This is like one of the few things I remember that you told me.
Oh, yay.
She remembers.
Yay, I remember.
Oh.
Oh.
It's just me.
The laptop's falling.
Here, here,
here.
Okay.
Hold it.
Oh.
Because it's attached.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
