Happy Halloween! We couldn’t let our favorite month go by without some friends and we invited Brendan Dowd from History Nerds United to hang out! Our stories include musicians who are rumored to have made a deal with the devil; witches, pirates and spooky shipwrecks; and a bizarre cryptid who hangs out in some equally bizarre woods!
