Episode 16: The Hawkesbury River Monster and The History of Bloody Mary
01/18/23 • 49 min
1 Listener
Did you know Australia has its own version of the Loch Ness Monster? Or is it just an eel riding on a seal riding on a goanna being chased by a crocodile? Find out as Alexa tells us all about the mysterious Hawkesbury River Monster.
You have probably heard of the game in the mirror: Bloody Mary. But do you know where the game came from? In this episode, Brittany talks about the very real women that Bloody Mary is based on and the variations of the sinister game we all played as children.
Have you ever said Bloody Mary 3 times in the mirror? or maybe it was 13 times...or 100 times...?
