113 – Haunted/Cursed Paintings

09/12/22 • 73 min

Remember the movie The Witches? There was a scene in that movie where the witches cursed a little girl to live in a painting for the rest of her life. She grew old, and moved positions in the painting until she disappeared completely. Well, despite Bob referring to Young Sherlock Holmes the week, this episode isn't about movies. No, in fact we are talking about haunted and cursed paintings. Figures that would move positions, curse the owner, or cause chaos around them. This episode we talk about the famous The Hands Resist Him, The Crying Boy, The Anguished Man, Love Letters' Replica, and more!

112 – The Devouring Gourd and The Vegetable Man of West Virginia

This is the most ridiculous concept to an episode we researched of all time. Easily. The first part of the lore comes to us from Bantu Folklore, and that is the Devouring Gourd. You read that right. The Devouring Gourd is a story that seems to have inspired Little Shop of Horrors. It is a gourd that grew to immense proportions, and ate people until it came into combat with an arrow wielding child. Since that bit of lore is a bit short, you get a two part episode! The second piece of our story is that of a humanoid figure that resembles a walking corn stalk. Did we mention this corn stalk could be extra terrestrial, and is vampiric?
