Ghoul Gals — Thu, 05 Dec 2019 16:46:08 GMT

We experienced some technical difficulties which left Cassandra's mic much quieter than usual. We're working on getting it fixed! But this is a great episode, so don't give up on us!

Cassandra shares the true story of the Perron Family Haunting, the real life inspiration behind THE CONJURING (2013). Julie talks about cattle mutilation, which is just as disgusting but a lot more bizarre than you might imagine.
