Ep 26 - Current Events Discussion

Whoa what an episode! Rein and Luna ended up talking about a bunch of current events going on and didn't get to their normal type of topic. However we felt these were important things to discuss and we have fun with this kind of discussion also. This was recorded back in April so the news items were from then. There is a special focus on Nex Benedict, which seems appropriate to put out now anyway since it's PRIDE MONTH!! So we hope you enjoy this even though it's not our normal thing.

Ep 25 - Reading from Living Ghosts & Mischievous Monsters: Garage Sale

Woo another episode!! We're behind on the releases so we're going to try to catch them up fast! In this episode, Rein has an interesting story about a possible doppleganger?? And we have discussions about them, and some other spooky topics. We do go over some things like weather and some recent events, but this was recorded in either late March or early April so keep that in mind!  Then our main topic is about witches and possible curses! What happens to our clothes when we pass? How connected are we to them? What about clothes we no longer want while still alive? The story we're reading here is called The Garage Sale, from the book Living Ghosts & Mischievous Monsters by Dan Sasuweh Jones, in which I was given permission to read from by Scoolastic Press, Inc. The Natives have some interesting beliefs and tales about passed loved one's personal items, and you know I love a good witch story!

Ep 24 - Poveglia Island near Venice, Italy

Whoa, it's been awhile since we posted a new episode! So sorry about that! Please know that we are still recording and have several episodes to put out!! They are coming!!  In this episode, we visit Italy to an island off the coast of Venice: Poveglia Island. This spot has a history recorded as far back as the year 420! Throughout the centuries it has had many uses, such as being a fort or shield for Venice during war times and for a lot of the years it was used to send plague victims for quarantining. Needless to say, the island had a lot of tramatic deaths. Of course this led it to becoming a ghost island!

Ep 23 - RIP Charity

This is a very special episode for a young girl named Charity who unfortunately was taken from this life way too soon. This subject is very close to Luna's heart as she knew Charity as a child and then reunited with her later on, as she was a part of her now boyfriend's family. We wanted to do an episode for Charity, because her story deserves to be told and she deserves to have justice. It's been about 2 years since she was murdered in her own home, allegedly done by her baby's father. He is in custody, but no trial is set yet. This is obviously an emotional episode, please take care while listening. Also though, we didn't want to leave everyone too sad, so Rein has a funny story to tell towards the end to help lighten the mood. Let's just say it involves edibles.  If you have a spooky story you'd like to share on the podcast, please email it to us!! spookynaturalpodcast@gmail.com  Follow us on TikTok (@spookynatural.pod), X (@SpookynatPod), Instagram, and join our private Facebook group! http://www.facebook.com/groups/1431400144096106/?ref=share&mibextid=KtfwRi

Ep 22 - Fairies: Mermaids

What an episode here! Luna has a spooky tale to tell us about what happened to her at a local park with her family! Some creepy occurrances there! Then we get into the fairy series, starting off with none other than mermaids! They're not always considered fairies in all cultures, and we will learn about many different versions of the mermaid. They have shown up a lot throughout history! If you have a spooky story you'd like shared on the podcast, please email us! spookynaturalpodcast@gmail.com !!!
