Creepy Curses - Part 1

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 14:00:00 -0400

This week on Legends & Spirits, we’re celebrating the spooky season with a series wherein we’ll unlock that which has followed humanity like a shadow for thousands of years - we’re talking about curses and when it comes to creepy curses, where better to start than the CREEPIEST... CURSED DOLLS!

For our Macabre Mixology we have our take on a classic cocktail that you’re sure to FLIP for! We’ll also dive into the long history of curses - where they come from, what they mean, and some chilling cases that continue to send shivers down our spines.

From the tombs of Egypt, to the jewelry stores of 5th avenue, from dark magic to demon possessions, but are these curses just tall tales or could there be something more supernatural at play?

In this week’s Macabre Mixology, we’re ending our ‘Summer Spirits Series’ with the new reigning champ of brunch bevies and in our Spooky Saloons, we’ll duck into yet another one of NYC’s oldest and longest operating watering holes that dates back to the 1800s. This classic HAUNT is just that, with some of its regulars still frequenting after almost 150 years.

Fri, 21 Jul 2023 12:00:00 -0400

This week on Legends & Spirits we’re continuing our series on NYC’s Eerie Islands! We’ll run-aground on infamous Roosevelt Island, where we’ll make our way through all that’s ruined and resorted, including an asylum, a penitentiary, quarantines, and a smallpox hospital, all while we give you the torrid history that makes these some of the most haunted buildings in the country.

In this week’s Macabre Mixology, we’re continuing our 'Summer Spirits Series' with a frozen favorite that’s minty and refreshing and sure to chill you out on a hot summer day. And for our Spooky Saloons we’ll sidle up in NYC’s second oldest haunt, who’s seen everyone from longshoremen to beat poets belly up over its 140 year history… some of whom still stop in today.

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 16:00:00 -0400

This week on Legends & Spirits we’ll cast off for our series on the historic, mysterious, and haunted island chain off the distant shores of Manhattan, NYC!

In this week’s Macabre Mixology, we’re batching up an elixir that will keep the X off your chest, but may earn you a spot on the ol’ gibbet tree! And in this week’s Spooky Saloons, we’ll make our way along the Hudson River to the westerly shores of Manhattan Island to belly up at one of NYC’s oldest watering holes, a historic landmark, The Ear Inn, that is famously haunted by a sailor named Mickey, but you may want to hold on to your drink, as well as your date, because this ghosts may just be thirsty for both!

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 23:00:00 -0400

This week on Legends & Spirits, it's St. Patrick’s Day! We’ll be knockin’ about Ireland looking for tales and legends of the wee fairy creatures and there's a lot more to the Leprechaun than just a sugar cereal mascot.

Then in this week’s Macabre Mixology we're batching up a lesser known Irish Cocktail that is as fresh as a field of shamrocks and in our Spooky Saloons, we're going to the heart of the motherland, Dublin, for a dram of whiskey with a couple of Langers (drunks) from the hereafter at one of the most haunted places in all of Ireland, named after a gravedigger!

This week on Legends & Spirits, with spring just around the corner, we’re hippity-hopping down to Fairfax County, Virginia to investigate the terrifying urban legend of the ax-wielding Bunny Man! We’ll also get firsthand accounts of a super spooky spread once owned by George Washington himself... who’s been known to make cameos from the hereafter.

In this week’s Macabre Mixology, we’ll curb those carrot cravings and calm our nerves by batching up a new take on our favorite OLD classic cocktail. In our Spooky Saloons, we’ll be pinkies-up at Virginia's best winery, where we’ll tilt a glass or two of Pinot with some of the vineyard's ghostly veterans.

Phantoms, Operas, and Cocktails

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 14:00:00 -0500

This week on Legends & Spirits we’ll celebrate the legacy of one of the freakiest foes to haunt the stage and screen... The Phantom of the Opera! His torrid tale has been spun by many for over a century and may even be based on true events (well, sort of).

In this week’s Macabre Mixology, in honor of the Paris Opera House, we’re batching up an angelic adaptation of a classic French Cocktail that was created behind one of the 'bloodiest' bars in Paris.

In our Spooky Saloons, we’re going back in time for a 2-fer, that’s 2 watering holes that are soooo creepy, you could find yourself bellied up with a dead relative, drinking on a coffin or being served by the devil himself!

Bushel Of Bloody Legends

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 14:00:00 -0500

This week on Legends & Spirits we’re giving you a bushel full of legends from around the country - we’re talking malevolent water babies from the southwest, vengeful witches from Mississippi, and from Arizona to Nebraska - more slaughterhouses than a Kurt Vonnegut novel.

In this week’s Macabre Mixology, we’ll butcher a classic cocktail recipe (in a good way). It’s a crisp, tangy cocktail named after the heroines of a couple of this week's stories. And in our Spooky Saloons we’ll make our way to Hooper, Nebraska to a small town with an even smaller population… unless you count the spirit residents.

It's a Bird...It's a Crane...It's MOTHMAN!

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 15:00:00 -0400

This week on Legends & Spirits we’ll spread our wings to take flight over Point Pleasant, West Virginia with one of the most infamous winged creatures in paranormal lore…the Mothman! Where there is a Mothman there is also UFOs, Inter-dimensional beings, MIB, and a curse on these lands that could even have something to do with it all.

In this week’s Macabre Mixology we’re concocting our version of one of the oldest classic cocktails whose roots are very close to home for us. And in our Spooky Saloons we’ll valet our UFO with the oddly grinning man outside and step through another time portal of sorts into the Blennerhassett Hotel & Lounge in Parkersburg, WV. We’ll belly up for some delicious cocktails and fare before we go in search of one of its many ghostly residents.

Previously on Legends & Spirits we prospected Pennsylvania for paranormal parables so profound it left us petrified! Pursuant to present parables, we find ourselves….
Re-Petrified in Pennsylvania!

In other words, we found lots more spooky stories during our recent on-site field research in Pennsylvania. We’re talking possessed prisons, lake witches, ghost kids, haunted inns, and creepy catacombs. Not to mention a 150 year old Spooky Saloon and one of our most Macabre Mixology recipes yet!

We'll also have a special interview with our very own music gurus Burton Bumgarner and Kenny Peters, with special guest Debbie Peters who took us on an actual midnight ghost hunt along a dark deserted road!

Road To SUPERNATURAL Bowl I (Season Review)

Sun, 20 Feb 2022 10:00:00 -0500

This week on LSPN (Legends & Spirits Paranormal Network) we’re reviewing this years epic matchups on the road to Supernatural Bowl I. We’ll be hitting the frozen tundra looking back on the epic battles that went tooth and nails, claws and tails. Who were the winners… and who took the loser's bus back to their alternate dimension? The underdogs and the shapeshifting dogs, the cryptids and the cannibals, but in the end only one would walk away with the coveted Supernatural Bowl Cup!

In our Macabre Mixology, while there is only one Supernatural Bowl Cup, we'll batch up a super-festive, super-delicious …and super LARGE crowd pleasing concoction. And for our Spooky Saloons we’ll take a trek to the city of angels to see if we can find a ghost or two in one of LA’s most infamous cantinas!

Sat, 29 Jan 2022 19:00:00 -0500

This week on Legends & Spirits is Part 2 of our terrifying trek to Winston-Salem, NC. We’ll serve you up a second round of spooky stories and legends and we’ll also dive even deeper into the torrid history of the town’s most notorious family…the Reynolds.

For our Macabre Mixology we have another cocktail inspired by the Mroavian cookie and it wouldn’t be Legends and Spirits without a Spooky Saloons, so we’ll step back in time with a visit to The Tavern of Old Salem, which has stood its ground for over 200 years… as have some of its regulars. And just when you thought it was safe to go back into your secret room, Matt and Sydney Chicurel will be here to tell the chilling conclusion of their story.

And we'll regale you with our own personal experience staying in a historic mill turned Inn... Scary? You bet your cigarette butt it is!

For our Macabre Mixology, we’re batching up a fun cocktail inspired from Winston-Salem’s #2 export…cookies. We’ll give you a sweet history lesson of the Moravian settlers and how they perfected this thin, spiced pastry.

Eerie Encore: 1st Annual Halloween Spooktacular

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 12:00:00 -0400

Last year's All Hallows episode was so much fun, we’re calling this our Eerie Encore of our 1st Annual Halloween Spooktacular! And stay tuned for our 2nd Annual Halloween Spooktacular which will drop this weekend just in time for your Monster Mash!

This is our extra creepy, super haunted, something wicked-this-way-comes episode. We’ll cover the history of this super fun - supernatural holiday, from its roots in Pagan harvest festivals to the door-to-door candy quests of today.

We’ll pair tricks with treats in this week's Macabre Mixology, where we’ll batch up an old autumn favorite to warm you from the inside out. On this week’s very special 'Spooky Saloons', we’ll visit a New York landmark, a converted carriage house that Aaron Burr once called home. Legend has it... he’s still making regular appearances there along with many other long dead souls, making it one of the most haunted bars in New York.

This week on Legends & Spirits we’re heading to the Pisgah National Forest in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina where the legends are as thick as the 800 square miles of wilderness.

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 22:00:00 -0500

This week on Legends & Spirits is Part 2 of UFO’s, Cocktails, & Cover-ups! We’re doing a deep-dive into two of the most well known alien abduction stories that are so terrifying, you may never drive at night again! We’ll also pick up our conversation with good friends Chloe Sehr and Andy Heidel to discuss all things outer space, cocktails, and nerd culture.

And for our second installment of Cosmic Cocktails, we’ll batch up another delicious libation from our guests’ book, The Cocktail Guide to the Galaxy and let’s just say it’ll be a close encounter of a... spicy kind. Then we’ll make a jump to hyperspace to a galaxy far-far away... Wisconsin, where we’ll visit this week’s Extraterrestrial Tavern, Benson’s Hide-A-Way, who’s owner is at the forefront of UFO and Alien sightings and may just show you proof of their existence (because he keeps it right behind the bar)!

This week on Legends & Spirits is Part 1 of UFOs , Cocktails, & Cover-ups. We’ll beam up to the Mothership for more UFO lore than you could cram into a nebula. We’ll trek around the world, from ancient times to present; poke around the wreckage of the Roswell UFO incident; uncover the mysteries of Area 51 and do a little art history, where some of the subject matter is... out of this world!

In this week's Cosmic Cocktails (aka: Macabre Mixology), we have guest mixologists Chloe Sehr and Andy Heidel here to batch up a libation from their very own cocktail guide and let’s just say... it’s the only one like it in the galaxy. Then we’ll set our homing-beacon for Rachel, Nevada where we’ll cruise up Route 375 also know as Extraterrestrial Highway to wet our tentacles at the famous Little A’Le’Inn Bar - the last stop for a libation before Area 51 - and if you’re going to get abducted don’t forget to ask for a roadie!
