Witches Be Cray

<p>With Halloween right around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with stories of real life witches. We cover stories of blood thirsty women who lure and devour their prey. Dana tells us about Elizabeth Bathory, the real Countess Dracula. Did she really drain the blood of her victims to stay younger or was she railroaded by a king with an agenda? Nydia tells us about Sophia Zhukova, an 81 year old with a history of giving candied meats to children. What plans did she have for the refrigerated intestines of her victim? Cindy shares a neighborhood “Karen” story involving a dentist, a yard display, and some good old vandalism.  </p> <p>For dinner this week, Cindy made us pork chops and cheesy grits topped with mushrooms in a creamy tomato sauce. For dessert, we had apple pull apart bread with caramel icing. The wine this week was Tomasello Witches brew, a sweet wine with lots of spice that is meant to be served warm and was reminiscent of a hot apple cider. </p> <p> </p> <p>Check out our linktree for links to our socials and ways to listen and support our podcast:</p> <p><a href='https://linktr.ee/wdst'>https://linktr.ee/wdst</a></p> <p>or call us some time </p> <p>6093003094</p> <p>This week we also got to work with some other podcasts we think you should check out!
