The Talegaters interview a real life Egyptologist to learn about the three kingdoms of Ancient Egypt and find out the truth behind The Mummy's Curse. Will our lads get too close to the truth and unleash the wrath of an ancient pharaoh?? (Yes, yes they do)
Museum Curator and Egyptology, Bethany Benson, voices Abby Young, giving us a short history of Ancient Egypt's Three Kingdoms (and their intermediate periods). She explains away Mormon myths that are often assumed of Latter Day Saints, and discusses the Curse of the Mummy! While the Mummy's Curse seems little more than a Hollywood trope at this point, it was believed wholeheartedly upon the excavation of King Tut's tomb. Even Sir Conan Arthur Doyle bought into the stories, so they can't all be false, can they?

Dashboard Chats - The Witch in the Woods and the Dead Children's Playground
Things get spooky in Alabama as the Talegaters seek the insidious Witch in the Woods, only to stumble upon the most haunted playground in the United States!
The Witch in the Woods is an urban legend passed down in Bama folklore for ages. She is said live in a shack deep within the woods of Gadsden, AL. Residents driving along Hinds Road in Gadsden have often reported a woman stating that she had sold her soul to the devil. Who is this mysterious witch and why does she bedevil the good folks of Gadsden?
Equally as chilling is the haunting of Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, where the ghost of Mary Bibbs is said to rock back and forth from within her mausoleum. Adjacent to Maple Hill Cemetery is the Dead Children's Playground believed to come to life at night with the spirits of dead children hard at play. Enter at your own risk.
