Ep. 21: Irrational Fears

What are you scared of? Snakes slithering up your pipes to nest in your toilet? Piercing your eardrum (or worse) with a Q-tip? Getting your eyes pecked out by birds? Turns out, those might not be such irrational fears after all! Join Hannah and Katy on this terrifying walk through fairly recent events that show that maybe we all do have reason to fear the irrational. From a horrifying bone-destroying bacteria born of cotton fibers, to the dark and deadly mysteries of shipwrecks that claim life after life, these tales will chill you to the bone because they are all too true! Special thanks to everyone who submitted their fears on Instagram!
