177 - Reapers Realm and The Horrifying Truth of Hansel and Gretel

Disclaimer on this one folks. We were swamped by technical difficulties all throughout this recording. We also spend a BIG chunk of this episode interviewing two people before we get to the lore of the week. Bob had the pleasure with speaking to an employee from Reapers Realm Haunted House in Hammond, Indiana. According to Reapers Realm Website, "In the heart of the mist-shrouded woods, nestled in a forgotten corner of the world, lies a place that defies the boundaries of reality. A place where darkness takes shape, where the veil between the living and the dead is paper-thin, and where the chilling echoes of the past reverberate through every creaking floorboard and every whispering gust of wind. As you prepare to embark on a journey into the unknown, prepare your nerves for a relentless assault, your courage for an unending test, and your heart for a dance with the macabre. For once you step through the foreboding gates of Reaper's Realm, you will find yourself ensnared in a nightmare from which there may be no escape." I mean, that gives you the willies just reading it to set the mood. Reapers Realm is a haunted house attraction that has been in Hammond, Indiana for 35 years. As they face what could be their final year, we have a conversation about the property. Also, the possibility of the place actually being haunted. Also, Bob speaks to his pal Neal with Graveside Paranormal. He talks about events he has Bob booked at including a paranormal night life bus tour. All across Chicago's South Side. Finally, Bob starts the strange tales of the truth behind fairy tales. This week, he looks at the weird first printing of Hanzel and Gretel.
