Host Lucé Tomlin-Brenner serves as your guide through the misty lanes of history, exploring how our modern spooks evolved from ancient roots.

Each episode feels like a conversation in a dimly lit parlor, unraveling the threads of folklore, forgotten customs, and the cultural moments that made Halloween what it is today. You'll hear about everything from the Celtic Samhain to vintage postcards, from the history of trick-or-treating to the biography of a particularly famous monster. Lucé’s passion for the subject is palpable, making even the most obscure historical detail feel immediate and thrilling. The podcast proves that history is alive with whispers and creaks, offering a rich tapestry of the past that informs our present-day celebrations. For anyone who finds magic in the macabre and curiosity in the crypt, this series provides a perfect, perpetual atmosphere.
