Episode 33: Lady in White and La Llorona
Manage episode 363672805 series 3405754
It's a rootinest tootinest episode this week.
In honour of women, we decided to cover some pretty gruesome female spirits.
Underneath all that rage, grudges and murder are some fierce women who just want to love as much as they can...so much so that they kill innocent children. Won't somebody please think of the children.
Among the chaos, Alexa tells us of the time she visited a museum in a desert where her and her friend were the only patrons...
Buckle up Paranormies. It's a wild ride.
