Ep. 78: Davy Jones' Locker

Ahoy mateys! If you've ever wondered about the most famous ghost on the seven seas, this episode is for you! This week, Hannah tells Katy about the infamous Davy Jones and his locker (and his ship), and the girls explore the various real-life inspirations for this ghost of the gales. Expect some boat rocking, several tangents, and a whale of story (and some good puns of course)! This one is fun and refreshing, and also teaches you how to keep malevolent spirits out of your house (hint: stop roasting sweet potatoes, and start drinking rum in graveyards.) So get the barnacles out of your shoes and hop on deck for this spooky tale! Special thank you to Gemma, for providing our listeners (and us) with a discount code for her shop on Etsy: search @craftycriminologist, and use code THETALESWETELL for 15% all her spooky stuff! Sources: https://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1991/PSCF12-91Davis.htmlhttps://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/don_stewart/don_stewart_629.cfmhttps://www.marineinsight.com/maritime-history/the-story-behind-the-term-davy-jones-locker/https://bcc-cuny.digication.com/teanaporter/my_assignment1/published#:~:text=The%20rolling%20calf%20is%20a,wicked%20are%20a%20dishonest%20person.https://oletimesumting.com/2016/10/30/ghosts-of-a-different-kind/https://web.archive.org/web/20090130034748/http://www.nlj.org.jm/docs/folklore_ol'%20higue.htmhttps://www.grunge.com/248785/the-scariest-stories-of-pirate-ghosts/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Fokkehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Dutch_Expedition_to_Nusantarahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_DutchmanSupport the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!
