Riddle'd with Nightmares

*Content warning: Strong language. May not be suitable for children or work.* This week on Riddle'd with Nightmares we are joined by my good friend and fellow podcaster, Phil Smith (AKA Phil the Filipino)!  In this episode we read black eyed children stories to each other and discuss if we think they actually exist, are other entities posing as children, or are purely legend. Come along for this creepy yet comical ride with us!  Don't forget to subscribe anywhere you listen, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!  Host: Amaris Riddle (@amarisriddle) Co-host: Phil Smith (@philthefilipino) Phil's Podcast: The Wait For It Podcast (@waitforitpodcast) Social: IG/FB @riddledwithnightmares Music: Elddir Music (@elddir.music)

Note: We had a pagan listener kindly reach out to use to let us know that the use of the phrase "normal folk" at the end of the episode made it sounds like we were labeling Christians as normal and pagans or witches as abnormal, and we wanted to take a moment to say that we truly apologize that our wordage came across that way, and we in no way think that pagans are abnormal. We appreciate messages like these, as they continue to help us learn and grow as people and podcasters. Please always feel welcomed to send us a message if you have an issue or thought on something that was said in one of our episodes.  Additionally, Nicole wanted us to clarify that while she was raised Wiccan by her mom and still uses Wicca as a base to her practice, she no longer identifies as Wiccan but as an eclectic Pagan.  -Amaris This week on Riddle'd with Nightmares we are joined by D'laina Shearit Hunt and we dive deep into the tragic history of witches, do our best to debunk some common misconceptions and stereotypes, interview Nicole, a local witch here in Dallas, as well as embarrassingly reminisce about our Christian homeschool upbringings and awkward middle school emo days. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for our hilarious outtakes!  Check back on Halloween for our first episode of Listener Stories to start your weekend off with a fright!  Social: @riddledwithnightmares Amaris Riddle: @amarisriddle / www.myriddlekitchen.com  D'laina Shearit: @dlaina.shearit / www.abeautyfulllife.style Music: Elddir Music @Elddir.Music Sources:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_hat https://www.history.com/topics/folklore/history-of-witches https://www.history.com/news/why-witches-fly-on-brooms https://mummipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Witches_of_Subeshi https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5113032/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rHSu2oDZXE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW0oyHvetqY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtvOCXzeyTw Obscure 90's Christian References: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_UO8wlZymM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjNQaDrWz8A

The Paris Catacombs, a place most of us know exists, but probably know very little about. In our first episode we will learn about the history of the Catacombs, talk about the movies they’ve inspired, the modern day draw toward exploring the miles of winding underground maze-like tunnels, and discuss the fact that The Paris Catacombs have been labeled as one of the most haunted places on Earth. Do you think The Catacombs are haunted? Hopefully by the end of this episode we will know for sure.
