Strange Country Ep. 84: Witchy Tales

You know what cures a depressing winter? A baker's dozen of cookies, that's what. Have you ever heard that expression or been the recipient of such dozen? Kelly and Beth will take you down history's path to where this baking expression originated, in good old New York- Dutch County. Hear a haunted house story that is sure to... leave you wanting a better ghost story. Join librarians, friends, and former reporters this week as we ramble through some strange little New York tales as told in the old book by Harold Thompson, Body, Boots and Britches. Hike up your britches or else you're going to Hell in a Handbasket this week on Strange Country.

Theme music: Resting Place by A Cast of Thousands.
