In this episode… Tara takes us across the pond to a creepy, unsettling site in Dumbarton, Scotland known to the locals as “The Bridge of Death” or “Dog Suicide Bridge.” You read that right. There is an actual bridge that for some yet unknown reason, dogs are compelled to run and leap over the side…to the jagged rocks some 50 feet below.

The bridge and the surrounding area are actual quite lovely, as the bridge was designed in the late 1800’s, is beautifully ornate and surrounded by lush greenery. They say this phenomenon, when it happens, will be on a clear, sunny day, which tend to be rare in this western region of Scotland. Many have thoroughly investigated and have tried to solve the mystery, but to this day, the bridge’s deadly pull defies all logic.

Listen in as Tara covers the many theories as well as a brief overview of the Congelier Manor & it’s haunting legend. If nothing else, you’ll have a few new things to share around the campfires & bonfires this Halloween.

In this episode… We discuss the incredibly controversial, personalized horror experience that is…Mckamey Manor. Think, Fear Factor meets horror movie bootcamp all wrapped up into a single, terror-filled experience. That’s even putting it mildly, yet thousands of people from all over the world sign up to take “the tour” and see how long they can last.

For some, it satisfies their inner adrenaline junkie and for others, they find that they may have bitten off more than they can chew, literally! There are many requirements you have to meet before you can even enter, including a full physical and Dr’s note. You’ll also have to sign a 40 page waiver that can take a minimum of 2 hours to plow through as you initial next to each insane, grotesquely horrifying thing they could possibly dream up to put you through.

Think you have what it takes to conquer McKamey Manor? To date…no one ever has.

In this episode… we get a little SPOOKY this week and bring to light a few haunting stories that make us wonder about the existence of evil in this world…and just what forms it might take.

Tara decided to put a spin on her quest for Hollywood true crime and instead, dives into some of the most mysterious and terrifying tales she stumbled upon while researching Hollywood’s haunted past.

Tara talks creepy coincidences and the untimely deaths of the cast & crew behind the making of the possibly “cursed” movie, The Omen. There are way too many strange occurrences surrounding this film to pass off as coincidence and we think you might agree!

She also braves the world of inanimate objects, AKA “trinkets”, that may or may not be possessed and opens up about her fear of dolls.

James Dean’s car, “The Little Bastard” was another story that Tara had always been fascinated to learn more about as well. The details of this car & the bizarre deaths, injuries and destruction that seemed to follow it around are way too hard to shake…let alone explain.

We’re not sure if you’ll sleep tonight, but for all of our listeners out there who are into these types of creepy, unsolved mysteries, we thought we’d bring you a little something different this time around. OH, and If you catch the movie recommendation in the intro, give us a shout out and let us know your thoughts. I mean, who doesn’t love Vince Vaughn and a good horror/comedy, right?
