0:00.0 | The Welcome to Spirits podcast, a boosy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. |
0:33.1 | Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
0:36.6 | I'm Amanda. |
0:37.4 | And I'm Julia. And I'm |
0:37.8 | Julia. And we are here to share more urban legends with you. Julia, something about springtime |
0:44.5 | urban legends hits different. Other people might say, oh, April, you mean the least spooky month? |
0:49.8 | The flowers are popping up. And I'm like, they have been waiting underground for months. Think about it. |
0:55.2 | Plants are just zombies. They are saving their energy. They are bursting up in new forms. Have you ever |
1:01.0 | thought about the fact that all that plant comes from one little seed is terrifying? Yeah. And I'm so |

1:58.5 | Working events means lots of late nights to a.m. onwards, as the perfect time to |
2:03.0 | listen to a spooky podcast in my humble opinion. Unfortunately, I changed jobs to one closer to home, |
2:08.9 | which meant I didn't get to listen to full episodes on the journey and life got in the way of me |
2:14.0 | catching up. But I am glad to report that my job has now evolved and involves more |
2:18.7 | travel and loan office work. So I'm enjoying having you keep me company once again and am almost |
