Tons of kids have an imaginary friend. It's the same old song and dance. "Mom! Dad! My imaginary friend wants to push me on the swing! My imaginary friend is an old man in a black suit. My imaginary friend lost his hand to a cotton gin accident." You know...routine stuff. Anyway that's the beginning of this weeks haunting...and that's definitely only the beginning. From visits with dead neighbors, to scratches from demons, to hell-mouths opening in the living room - this story has it all. We grab our gear and go in search of the Wyrick family haunting this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot has some new subroutines (he's still a jerk), Kyle continues his baffling competence (it's only a matter of time), and John goes on a rant about Eli Whitney (because nothing's funnier than 18th century farm humor). All of that and more on the podcast that never had an imaginary friend, just imaginary acquaintances - Hysteria 51.
