| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits podcast, a boosy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. |
| 0:11.5 | Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
| 0:14.8 | I'm Amanda. And I'm Julia. And this is episode 287 where, uh, Julia, we're sticking close to home on this one. |
| 0:20.6 | We are. We are revisiting our Long Island Urban Legends. |
| 0:24.7 | Recently, you sent me a Reddit thread that Eric Silver had discovered and it was all about like Long Island Urban Legends. |
| 0:31.7 | And I was like, oh, well, you know, Amanda, we've, we've done Long Island Urban Legends. |
| 0:35.0 | You know, it was a little while ago. |
| 0:36.9 | And then I looked it up in our archives when we did it. It was episode 20. That's a long time ago. That's not far after Eric DM'd me as a person I met in college years ago and was like, hey, cool podcast. I can talk about the Gullum. And I was like, all right. And now we're about to get married. That's how much time has passed. So I feel like now is the perfect time to revisit it. |
| 0:57.7 | If you think about it. I totally agree. It is summertime. My mom is a professional lifeguard. |
| 1:02.7 | It's the time that I'm used to being like, some stuff prepared for you today, Julia. I'm very excited. I also have some stuff prepared for you. Hey. How about I kind of take our first |
| 1:16.5 | half of the stories and we can we can follow up on some of yours after we get back from our refill? |
| 1:22.2 | Love it. Let's do it. So I do want to preface this. There's a couple that we did touch on in episode 20. We did the |
| 1:28.9 | Amityville Horror, so you're not going to hear about that in this episode. We did Sweet Hollow Road, |
| 1:33.1 | and we also did Mount Misery. So there's like a nice mix of things that you can end, oh, |
| 1:37.7 | and the Kings Park Psychiatric Facility. Yeah. So we've done all those. So if you are looking for those kind of stories, |
| 1:45.3 | hey, go listen to episode 20. It was a very long time ago. You can also join our Patreon where we posted |
| 1:50.9 | a video that Julia and I recorded at Sweet Hollow Road and a couple of graveyards nearby. It was |
| 1:57.6 | extremely fun. Both of us look different than we do now. And you can go enjoy that. |
| 2:02.4 | Me with Long Hair. That is true. Look at that. So Amanda, I think I'm going to start with one that I have |
| 2:07.9 | heard recently because I recently moved into the area of this myth. And it is the Lady of Lake Ronkongkama. |
| 2:15.4 | Oh, this one was new to me. I think I saw it mentioned in the thread, |
| 2:18.4 | and I was like, who's this now? Who's this now? Who's this lady? What's she doing? Yeah. |
