Did you think you could make it through Halloween weekend without a new episode from us?! Well, this episode was recorded in March and it's now October so our chat at the start is a little outdated (Download Festival was great thanks)... but it still COUNTS! We're back and talking about weird & unusual deaths. Laura tells the story of the "toxic woman" Gloria Ramirez, and Emma talks about the unusual case of Elisa Lam.  Remember to head to our instagram (@ginandspooks) for a photo dump of everything we've talked about.

This week we are living our pirate fantasies! (we are obsessed with the Pirates of the Caribbean music ok). Hitting you with The Pirate Code, and stories about Sir Francis Drake and Anne Bonny. We go off on many tangents, and Emma struggles to answer the "Would You Rather?" question. Don't worry, we don't try and speak like pirates the whole way through!

Warning: we talk about some sensitive topics in this episode, listener discretion is advised. This week Laura tells the horrifying story of Pennhurst State School, whilst Emma provides the spooks with some tales from inside haunted hospitals and asylums. Featuring background noise from Laura's cats, a rant about tonic, and a random echo at some moments?! Enjoy!

For our Halloween episode and 1 year anniversary we are talking all things zombies - films, books, tv shows, apocalypse plans, chances of survival, you name it! Including tangents about tsunamis, soil acidity, and vampires. Head over to our socials to answer our "Would You Rather" questions and let us know your fav zombie film. We also have a snazzy new logo! 

Our longest episode yet! Listener discretion is very much advised, as this week we are talking about necrophilia - the act having sex with a corpse. Emma starts with giving you some facts and figures on necrophiles and the different types that exist, then we share the stories of Earle Nelson, Carl Tanzler, and Jeffrey Dahmer. All very different men with very different motives, but sharing one common interest. Cover art is by Morgina Finney and music is Hell of a Scary Night by Neil Cross.

Warning: we talk about topics in this episode that some may find distressing, listener discretion is advised. This week we are talking about young murderers - are they born this way, or does a horrific childhood make a murderer? Criminal cases include the Menendez Brothers, Mary Bell, and the death of James Bulger. This episode also features cats, condoms, and the gospel according to Emma. Cover art by Morgina Finney. Music is Hell of a Scary Night by Neil Cross.
