Join us for another beautiful golden oldie hour! We'll be back next week with fresh ghosties and ghouls, but for now, enjoy this classic ep featuring some of our favorite vintage news stories ever and one very special horse. -- These weird vintage news stories are so out of this world you may never recover. You'll hear about ghosts making crosses from dried pasta, a horse named Clever Hans, a dog that can speak and tell you it wants cake, an ancient turtle who's addicted to pancakes, and the single most affecting news story I've ever read: The tale of the Fried Pickle Man. You'll also hear some spooky facts about Shadow People (sleep tight)! Just remember: Take some cucumbers, when quite green From the garden while unseen Soak them long in salt mush Add your spices, watch them rust For some days, let them lie Take them out, in slices fry That's a dish which one sings So it is, is fit for kings
