288: Your Urban Legends LXIV - Ghosts Don’t Weigh Anything!

Julia’s house might be haunted, but we’re not gonna dwell on that. Instead, we’re revisiting how haunted pasta is, yelling at you about using homemade ouija boards, and picture ourselves as extremely haunted dolls.    Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of family member death, health conditions, bugs, and ouija boards.   Housekeeping - Live Show: Join us on July 15th in-person in NYC OR stream the show live!  - Recommendation: This week, Amanda recommends Rainbow Parenting! - Books: Check out our previous book recommendations, guests’ books, and more at spiritspodcast.com/books - Call to Action: Check out Exolore: Helping you imagine other worlds, but with facts and science! Every other week, astrophysicist/folklorist Moiya McTier explores fictional worlds by building them with a panel of expert guests, interviewing professional worldbuilders, or reviewing the merits of worlds that have already been built.   Sponsors - Wildgrain is the first bake-from-frozen box for artisanal bread.
