Send a message an d let us know what you think of this episode!**there were some tech issues in this episode, so please bear with us regarding the sound quality/echo!**In this episode, we celebrate our annual Besties Trip! We're going to Maine, everybody!  In preparation for the trip, Abby discusses the Wood Island Lighthouse's real life horrifying terrors and rumored paranormal events and secrets. She tops it off with a wholesome story about a dog we don't deserve. Then, Ellie drags (it's an aviation joke, do you get it?) the mood down by talking about some horrifying plane crashes (right before we get onto our flight to Maine, but go off, queen) caused by hubris  and not following Aviation Rules, which we assume is a real thing and not something we just made up for the description.  Content Warnings:  Abby's Segment: murder, suicide, ghostsEllie: plane accidents, death, death of childrenWe're drinking: Abby's Cocktail: Blueberry Gimlet Ellie's Cocktail: The Aviation Abby's Sources: The Wood Island Lighthouse website at woodislandlighthouse.org, an article by Jeremy D'Entremont on the website newenglandlighthouses.net; an article from the Portland Press Herald called New England Ghost Project visits Wood Island Lighthouse by Amy Robinson  and of course, Wikipedia.
