The Mourning Hour
"The Mourning Hour" is a true crime / paranormal podcast hosted by Texas-based best friends Allison Monroe and Katie Floyd. Each week they meet to chat crime, cryptids, and ghosts galore with a little dose of humor to cut the creepy. Two peas in one morbid pod, these best friends have set out to uncover the horrors of the world together (both real and imaginary) and report what they find... with some flair.

Episode 48: The Origins of Halloween: Traditions & Tales

What we know of today as Halloween originated with a much darker purpose than fun for the whole family. So sit back, grab yourself some cider or even a pumpkin spice latte if you’re into that, and let’s get into the nitty gritty of the origins of Halloween and its traditions.
