Episode 82: The Candyman
Description
I kick off this episode as per usual with about 10 minutes of blabbering on about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness (not really🤣 - I actually just talk about my morning).
After we catch up, we're diving headfirst into the mysterious origins of Halloween. Ever wondered how an ancient festival celebrating the dead turned into a night of costumes and candy? We'll peel back the layers of history and uncover the fascinating transformation of this spooky holiday.
But hold on, the real treat (or trick) of today's episode is a true crime story that's as chilling as they come. We're exploring the haunting case of Timothy O'Bryan from 1974—a tale that forever changed Halloween night. It's a story filled with unexpected twists that will make you think twice about those sugary sweets.Â
Come along for the life updates, stick around for the spooky, and—of course—enjoy the chaos. 🎃🌵
