Episode 36 - Halloween!!!
Beyond the Breakers
10/31/21 • 49 min
In honor of Halloween, we get spooky this week.
Taylor tells stories of the Black Dog of Lake Erie. Is it out for revenge on the uncaring sailors who allowed it to drown in the Welland Canal?
And Tanner relates the tales of ghostly happenings around the 1873 sinking of the steamer Ironsides in Lake Michigan, and Connecticut's steamship Atlantic disaster from 1846.
Does the spirit of young Henry Valentine still cry for help from passing mariners in Lake Michigan? Does the bell of the Atlantic still toll out in mourning for the lives she lost?

Hello Everyone! From time to time we will be doing mini-episodes when we haven an announcement or other news about the pod. We wanted to let you know we will be shifting our release schedule slightly. We will probably be releasing on Patreon on Sundays, and Monday for everyone else.
Additionally I wanted to do a short story that may not have enough information for a full episode, but is still something worth sharing. We hope you enjoy!
