Bantering Banshees
Step into the shadows with Steph and Jill— where paranormal history meets hilarious banter. Each episode, we uncover the chilling tales of haunted places, the spirits said to linger there, and the twisted history that brought them to life (or afterlife). But don’t worry — we keep it light with our offbeat humor and playful back-and-forth, making sure things never get too scary. It’s the perfect mix of eerie and entertaining.
