The Meddling Kids

Dreams

This week we meddle our way into analyzing our dreams and discuss the creepy things people (including Sammy) do in their sleep such as sleep walking and talking. Be brave and face your nightmares with us!

Movie: Revisiting the Grudge

We apologize for the long break between episodes but the meddling kids have returned! This week we revisit the movie that still haunts us in our dreams: the Grudge. Riley faces his fears head on while Sammy begrudgingly (pun intended) tags along.  Trigger warning: mentions of suicide, domestic violence, animal abuse, and murder.

The Voynich Manuscript

This week's mystery is about a 600 year old text known as the Voynich Manuscript. It dates back to the late 15th century Italian Renaissance and to this day has not been translated. The pictures in this manuscript may have you scratching your head, come along and speculate with us about the secrets this book may be hiding.

The 27 Club

Trigger warning: discussion of accidental death, substance abuse, alcoholism, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised. Today we dive into the tragedy known as the 27 Club. Multiple artists and musicians have died at the age of 27. Unfortunately, the thread that links these tragedies is not shrouded in mystery but can be explained in some cases by personal demons.

Commercial Haunted Houses

We close out high spooky season with a discussion on commercial haunted houses and our personal experience at Halloween Horror Nights this year and in the past. Happy Halloween, Meddlers! If you have a spooky or mysterious story to share please send it to themeddlingkidspod@gmail.com
