S03E10: The Brattleboro Retreat Tower, a Victorian structure tucked away amongst the trees and boulders on a hiking trail in Vermont.
Haley goes solo this week with a tour of one of her new hometown’s most notorious haunts, the Brattleboro Retreat tower. Note: The Brattleboro Retreat was formerly known as the Vermont Asylum for the Insane, and some historical references use that name.
In which we ask very important questions about humanity, but, per usual, get no answers.
S03E09: Perfume making techniques, enfleurage, and musk.
It’s all flowers and frippery…until it’s not.
Natali’s proud mom moments, rich people problems, a no-bag rule, and Haley’s grandpa’s old pickup truck.
Yeah, that about covers it.
S03E08: Boobs and bling: the history of sports bras and custom grills.
Two jock straps walk into a marathon with some pretty mind-blowing mouth jewelry.
Sorority and Fraternity Crimes and Hauntings!
Things that go bump at the kegger, and activities that are never okay outside of a raunchy 1980s comedy.
Apothecary cabinets and a partially abandoned estate.
In which we answer the questions “How many drawers is too many drawers?” and “What the hell is that TV doing THERE?!”

Today’s a full moon. We’d think twice before venturing out.
S03E06: The stories behind the names for full moons and how the moon does (or doesn’t) impact the human body.
Did you know that a blue moon is actually a thing, and that blood moons really do exist? Connect with your inner (North American) moon witch and prepare to be both baffled and delighted by the names we’ve decided to call each month’s full moon. Then, switch to your front-facing camera and examine the science and the spooky behind the effects that the moon might have on your–and everyone else’s–body.
Beer ephemera and far too many statues.
Stroll your way through history’s biergarten of collectables, beer trays, and tsotchkes, then explore an estate sale with more than enough presidential personifications and pieces of outdoor decor to make you want to back away VERY slowly. Just, um, don’t blink.
S03E05: Abandoned Waterparks and Neverland Ranch.
The heyday of bad-idea waterparks, when the kids were probably drunk and their 1980s parents decided to just roll the dice on safety, and the dark and over-the-top remnants of Neverland Ranch.
