Spooky Apps

We're not talking about ghastly mozzarella sticks and loaded fries on this episode, but we will be discussing some apps that can leave you spooked if downloaded. How exactly did a mystic app lead a group of teenagers to a suitcase of human remains? And can you really talk to spirits with a digital, steampunk spirit box? What exactly does "HBG" have to do with Mr. Clean? Get all of these questions and more answered by listening to this week's episode of Spectral! P.S. Did you know we always have bloopers after the outro music? Look at that, we provided an answer to a question you didn't even know you had. Alexis says, "You're welcome."
