Amanda and Sarah offer dives into celebrity conspiracy theories and a London ghoul supreme. Amanda spreads some hot goss about famous people thought to be vamps, fakes, or murderers. Sarah goes full WHO IS SHE on Jinney (Jenny, or Jennie) Bingham, a 1600s folkloric figure and possible witch. Other subjects covered include duping makeover shows, avoiding ticks, and being horny for Tony Danza. Recommendations: Amanda recommends the Aussie horror film Next of Kin and the book The Return by Rachel Harrison. She does not recommend the new film The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
