Kooky Tales 005: Kooky St. Patrick’s Day Facts

Did you know St. Patrick was not born in Ireland, wasn’t a canonized saint, and didn’t actually drive the snakes out of Ireland? We learned a lot of kooky facts on this St. Patrick’s Day themed episode! Also, I’ve overed two new mics and a new mixing board, so next week’s episode should sound even better. We’re getting there!

Kooky Tales 002: The Faces of Belmez

In 1971, a woman in Spain was shocked when ghostly faces began appearing on her kitchen floor. When the family scrubbed the floor to remove the faces, the faces distored with pain. After the floor was torn up and replaced, the faces returned. The Faces of Belmez is one of my favorite tales, and the story behind the story is even more interesting.

In 1925, James Courtney and Michael Meegan, two sailors working on the SS Watertown oil tanker, accidentally suffocated to death.

Sailors aboard the ship said the ghostly faces were recognizable as the two lost souls, and the captain even managed to capture the two ghoulish faces on film.
