Curses: Part One
Description
In this special Halloween two-parter, Jess and Lolo dive into the wild, weird world of curses — the spooky kind, the biblical kind, and the ones that sneak up on you through a mirror. Ancient Irish curses, old-school hexes, and whether you might be spiritually Teflon… or a high-risk hex magnet.
Don’t miss Part 2, dropping October 23rd, with even more terrifying tales, legendary hexes, and famous spooky cursed objects.
🎃 And on October 30th, tune in for our special Halloween episode packed with creepy stories to make your skin crawl.
