Spirits Uncorked
by Elizabeth Grimes
Spirits Uncorked is what happens when two sisters turn their group chat into a paranormal podcast and add wine. And Elizabeth & Erica want you to pour a glass and join in the conversations about strange history, haunted places, shadow people, or your own listener experiences. Along the way, they chat with authors, fellow podcasters, and other fascinating guests. It's spooky, funny, thoughtful, and occasionally unhinged.

Ep 50 | Magic: Light and Dark
What makes magic feel good… or evil? From glowing wands and sparkling light to green smoke and shadowy curses, we’ve been taught from childhood to recognize the difference instantly. But where did those ideas come from and what do they actually say about us? In this episode of Spirits Uncorked, Elizabeth and Erica dive into the world of good vs. evil magic through the lens of Disney, folklore, and cultural storytelling. From Ursula and Maleficent to Glinda and Elsa, they explore how magic is portrayed visually, emotionally, and psychologically. Why is “good” magic always soft, nurturing, and limited? Why are powerful women so often cast as villains? What were we really being taught as kids? Pour a glass, light or dark, and join us for a fun, thought-provoking conversation that blends nostalgia, humor, and a little bit of existential questioning.

Ep. 48 | Near Death Experiences
What happens when we almost die… and come back? In this episode of Spirits Uncorked, we explore near-death experiences, the strange, deeply personal, and surprisingly consistent phenomenon reported across cultures and throughout history. From out-of-body sensations and tunnels of light to encounters with loved ones, beings of light, and overwhelming peace, these stories raise questions that science, religion, and philosophy still can’t fully answer.

Ep. 46 | 1,100 Feet of Secrets in Lake Pend Oreille
What if one of the quietest, deepest lakes in America was hiding more than just fish? In this episode of Spirits Uncorked, we’re diving into the mysteries of Lake Pend Oreille in northern Idaho. A body of water so deep (over 1,100 feet) and so acoustically stable that the U.S. Navy uses it to test submarines and sonar technology. But military research isn’t the only thing beneath the surface. Locals have reported sightings of a massive, serpentine creature known as the Pend Oreille Paddler for decades. Is it a cryptid that has evaded capture? A giant white sturgeon? Or something connected to the strange equipment interference reported on the lake? And then there’s the ghost train. Mangled wreckage that lies at the bottom with no history and no explanation for how an entire train ended up underwater. Pour a drink and imagine with us.

Ep. 45 | Rasputin's Curse and the Last Romanov Princess
Two little girls watching an animated movie fell in love with the music, the magic, and the mystery of a lost princess who survived when no one else did. But the real story behind Anastasia isn’t a fairytale, it’s one of revolution, brutality, mysticism, and tragedy. In this episode of Spirits Uncorked, we dive into the true history of the Romanov family, the Russian Revolution, and the man who became one of history’s most infamous figures: Grigori Rasputin. Was he a mystic healer? A manipulative cult leader? A political scapegoat? Or something darker? We unpack the execution of the Romanovs, the enduring myth that Anastasia survived, the women who claimed to be her, and the DNA evidence that finally closed the case. And of course, we explore the Rasputin legend — the poison, the shooting, the icy river, and the so-called “curse” that seemed to follow the royal family. It’s a ghost story without a ghost. A missing person case when she wasn’t missing at all. And a mystery that may be solved… but still lingers in our collective imagination. Pour a drink and join us. Initial song is "A Little Birch Tree" by Evgeny Dreizin Final song is "Once Upon a December" from the movie Anastasia Follow us on instagram! @Spirits.Uncorked Email us at [email protected] www.LanierGhostTours.com Instagram YouTube TikTok Produced by, and theme music by Elizabeth Grimes Artwork by Brett Rapp Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 44 | Lake Michigan Mysteries: Ancient Spirits and Vanished Ships
What mysteries lie beneath the cold, endless waters of Lake Michigan? In this episode of Spirits Uncorked, Elizabeth and Erica dive into the haunting legends and unexplained phenomena surrounding one of North America’s greatest lakes — from vanished ships and missing time to ancient stories of powerful water spirits. The sisters explore the disappearance of Le Griffon, often called Michigan’s oldest ghost ship, and the enduring mystery of why it has never been found. They also unpack Indigenous folklore surrounding Mishipeshu, the feared Water Panther believed to control storms, shipwrecks, and violent waves beneath the surface. Erica describes how “when Lake Michigan… turns from glassy calm to you should not be here, that’s Mishipeshu, shifting in his lair” . Along the way, they reflect on history, storytelling, cultural memory, and why certain places seem to hold onto their secrets. With wine in hand and curiosity wide open, Elizabeth and Erica invite you to join them in exploring what the lake remembers — and what it refuses to give back. Pour a glass and sail with us into the mysteries of Lake Michigan.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
Spirits Uncorked is what happens when two sisters turn their group chat into a paranormal podcast and add wine. And Elizabeth & Erica want you to pour a glass and join in the conversations about strange history, haunted places, shadow people, or your own listener experiences. Along the way, they chat with authors, fellow podcasters, and other fascinating guests. It's spooky, funny, thoughtful, and occasionally unhinged.
