Episode 27 – Mmm. tuberculosis!
from Superduperstitious
It's a health-conscious week as the boys embark on a superstition-fueled journey into New England's past. After an apropos Springheeled Jack update in Cape Cod, Wyatt retells the listener-suggested story of a vampirism scare during the 19th century. However, these vampires just make you cough and die. And are also already dead? And not real. Jake then follows the specific account of a supposedly possessed teenager who was a perfect case study for why proper mental health treatment compels you far more than the power of Christ does. And don't even START on witches. All this, plus a complete failure to say the actual word that the show's title is based on — this week on Superduperstitious!
