Goodnight, Attic Critters w/ Amanda Montell

from The Nightly

Amanda Montell hosts The Nightly this week and takes a call from Chris in Evanston, Illinois, who has some nighttime visitors he can't quite identify.What You'll HearA very good neighborhood mystery: Amanda opens with a story about an unfamiliar Bengal cat that turned up in her yard, and the low-stakes debate over who gets to keep him.Something's living in the attic: Chris has been hearing rustling at night from an unfinished corner of his attic, and he's torn on whether to call it in.Raccoons, squirrels, or something friendlier: Amanda and Chris work through the likely suspects, plus a detour into ghosts, and land on the idea that a "haunting" isn't always a bad thing.CHAPTERS00:00 Amanda opens the show and shares a stray cat story03:49 Chris calls in from Evanston, Illinois04:21 Noises in the attic10:53 A question about ghosts15:17 Other wildlife in the neighborhoodFor the fully immersive, phone free light + sound experience, learn more at hatch.co.
