More Tunnels, More Ghosts, and a New Hashtag

Send us a Text Message.

We start the episode explaining the altar of truth and our presents from Zach. Tori covers the Oregon Vortex and the weirdness contained therein. This is one of those mystery spots that are found around the country just waiting to take tourist’s money. Can you say optical illusions? Next up we get a short history lesson about the Shanghai Tunnels in Portland and the current ghostly inhabitants. Press ganging, crimping, and shanghaiing was used to kidnap sailors to serve on long sea voyages against their wills. Tori was this many years old when she learned where the term “Shanghaiing” came from. Also #ghostkidsaredicks.  Krysti continues on smartly with ghost stories! Krys got to go for the spook factor in honor of spooky season. The Ghost of Fiddlers Rock is a Tennessee ghost of renown and Krys tells his story. Moral of the story, don’t piss off snakes. Several other tales stem from Fiddler’s Rock. Last but not least we have the story of Amy of Lick Road. Several versions of the story exist. More tropes ahead. Flashing three times comes into play as well.
