Did Raleigh Faulkner Become Raleigh Fremont?

Liz lays out the puzzle pieces of what may be the second half of Raleigh's life. We're missing some corners and we lost the puzzle box with the picture on it, but we do our best.

CW: Mentions of suicide, murder, and sexual assault. 

Secondary topics: The murder mystery the broads never made; the limits of Liz's hunting knowledge are laid bare; another serial killer story sneaks into the show; yet ANOTHER serial killer story sneaks into the show; it gets Disney for a hot minute.

D.B. Cooper, Part Two

Secondary topics: Never watch a mystery with Liz; the Federal Bureau of Stuff We Just Really Wanna Know; club moss in druggums; a new, genie-based theory; cases in which you get what you pay for; Looney Tunes hijacking; Devon and Liz cross wires on their eighties references.

Raleigh Faulkner Evidently A Bad Man

Liz and Devon take another stab at Raleigh Faulkner, who lived a life full of adventure, crime, and slipperiness all over the West Coast. 

CW: There's discussion of domestic violence in this one. We don't get super graphic and gory, but the topic of this episode was not a good guy to have in your family. 

Secondary topics: The worst/best Russell Crowe impression; a brief glimpse into what a Southern Ouija Broads would be; peaching; the first Pacific Wizard of Bootlegging; a pronunciliation digression; other famous McNeil residents.

D. B. Cooper, Part One

The Northwest gave us one of the best mysteries of the 20th century... the polite parachuting hijacker who's (erroneously) known as D. B. Cooper. In the first part of this two-parter episode, Devon outlines the facts of the case, the FBI's approach in the early days of the hunt, and the few clues Cooper left behind. 

Secondary topics: A name fake-out; no smoking on planes please; a parachute fake-out; just a general intermittent clean-up search; no sack lunch, no windbreaker; like a seagull with a french fry.

Five Ghosts of the Davenport Hotel

Liz goes back to the spooky Spokane well and tells the tales of five ghosts that haunt the Davenport Hotel. 

CW: Brief mention of suicide in this one. 

Strange knock-knock jokes; you can't do a Spokane episode without a Kirtland Cutter cameo; waffle foundries and tamale emporiums; a bruttle kerfuffle; Victorian interior design; a little bit on the Campbell House. 

Show notes: You can get your own copy of Spooky Spokane at area Spokane bookstores. We wouldn't be able to do great topics like this without all of Chet Caskey's hard research and story collecting! If you aren't in the area and want a copy, let us know and we may be able to swing something for you. Or you can come for a visit and go on one of his ghost tours here: http://www.ietours.net/Trip_Descriptions.html

Our Friend the Cadborosaurus

Devon introduces Liz to our hometown hero, the friendly Cadborosaurus. 

Puns return; cider recommendations; the only game in town; multiple fish are put on notice; the Spokane aquarium and zoo; the six-foot-long sub sandwich; it's always a basking shark; Liz invents a reverse cryptid; we can't go one episode without talking about candy; Phyllis, our boots on the ground.

The Skydiving Beaver and the Arboreal Octopus

First we recorded the beaver story, then we recorded the octopus story because the other was too short. So you get two, two, two amazing tales of Pacific Northwest critters! I put a little music in the middle, don't turn it off too early. 

Winning hearts and minds; why it's the Lilac City; Geronimo the polygamist beaver; how to get extra credit in Liz's class; an octopus story from Devon; fictional schools; Icelandic horse information; alien abductions as aquarium stocking technique.

Second Lives of Seattle Mortuaries

Devon reveals the histories and ghost stories of two mortuaries that live on today as Seattle pubs. 

Secondary topics: Bison bones and pine straw; Southern lawncare adventures; baby Parseltongues; social media never sleeps; eating beers; the logistics of choosing where you're going to haunt.

Technical notes: We're pretty sure we've found a fix to clear the pop rocks out of the mic cord for next recording, but thanks for bearing with us on this and the next one (which were recorded the same day). Just play it outta your phone speakers instead of over headphones and you won't notice. ;)
