Hi! I’m Beth. I love exploring the dark and disturbing aspects of history, horror, hauntings, true crime, and other gruesome and disturbing facts. I spend most of my time researching and learning about these different topics so I can share them with my brother and my listeners. When I’m not digging into the horrifying and spooky facts, my brother teaches me about table top role playing games.
