This is it, folks! After 5 years and an uncountable number of burps, Amie and Tami are signing off with this very special episode that brings us full circle. Our very first topic in episode 1 was Marylin Monroe, and for our final recording we rented a room in the place where Marylin had her very own suite and spent some of her happiest years: THE HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT! We talk Marylin's ghost, conspiracy theories about her death, and a lot about nachos. We wrapped up some loose ends with our remaining 50 States of Ghosts locations, and Tami finally get s to pay off a joke she set up like 2 years ago (it's the final episode and OU STILL SUCKS!). Our deepest thank you to all of our listeners who have kept us laughing and spooked us out for 162 episodes. We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. And remember, if you see a ghost... .

Ahhh... nothing like a sip of the old sock-strained garbage water at the end of a long day... This week is the first (and last!) ever WILD CARD episode! No rules, just right! Tami reads from a fascinating/depressingly still true article about folks discovering their home is haunted thanks to the quarantine. And Amie sneaks in the first lady appreciation of this Women's History month with the tale of a Mexican nurse ghost who has exposed our complete lack of Spanish language skills. They shouldn't have offered French in high school, ok??? All that, and yet another reason to put of your annual gyno appointment... .

We're falling apart! Everything from desk disasters to figuring out we're too old for mesothelioma, this week's 50 States of Ghosts on PENNSYLVANIA has us humbled. Amie takes us through the ghost-hustlin' and generically-named Hill View Manor where they nickel and dime you into the grave... and beyond! And Tami talks cancer-causing flame-proofing at the Clifton 5 Theater. Hey, if it didn't burn down at least a few times, is it even an old-timey theater? idk, I'll have to ask my bestie, Mr. Gargoyle Peoples... he's on the list. .

What's more macho than a loud-ass motorcycle? A loud-ass motorcycle blasting Footloose, of course! This week puts Tami's pregnancy hormones to the test when we discuss GHOST PETS!!! Tami learns what literally everyone apparently already knew about red cardinals and how they can be a sign of passed loved ones, and really brings the whole room down talking about a dead dog named Duckie. Amie brings us a variety of My Ghost Stories tales about pets, an upsetting number of which feature pets who have neglected to bring a few body parts with them from beyond. Give your fur babies some extra love tonight, and don't trust the establishment: what were the cops trying to hide about Duckie??? .

Thank goodness this is a podcast, because we are SICK of seeing our own faces these days! Luckily we've got a new face to distract us with our first in a very long time guest, Kyla! She is bringing us corn huskin' realness for our episode on NEBRASKA!! First, Amie tells us about a fellow spooky-inspired thespian who's had some creepy encounters at the Temple Theater in Lincoln, Nebraska. Wait, there's someone other than us who's got a theatre degree AND an interest in the paranormal? And Tami talks us through some cringey multi-generational action at the Cornerstone Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Omaha. And the highlight of this episode is the literal TON of spooky stories that Kyla shares about her own, and her childhood bestie's haunted AF Nebraska homes. Note to self: too many doors equal too damn ghosty! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Somebody call Kitty Protective Services, because these gals are crossing some boundaries! This week Tami and Amie watch and recap ghost shows, both new and old. Amie thirst-watches an episode of Ghost Brothers, where a family of four has to deal with hipster ghosts who don't consider 'Nsync worthy of vinyl. And Tami discovers the delightful Knock, Knock Ghost, where a group of gay Canadians joke and scream their way through a haunted fort. And, nbd, the Banshees are growing by two feet: Tami's having a baby! Stay tuned for her reluctant reviews of non-alcoholic drinks on future episodes, now that she's not lying through her teeth about it. Banshees and No Booze? This kid better be worth it... .

We are living our morals and we are MAD about it! This week is another Fifty States of Ghosts, and we're definitely not entirely sure where it is or how to say it. MISSOURI! First we take a dip in the hot springs-adjacent Elm Hotel and Spa that just wouldn't stay burned down. And Amie tries to remember the Four Ts of ghost middle management at the Beattie Mansion.

Happy New Year, Sad Old Bullshit! This week, we're rubbin' one out for GENIES! Tami literally does NOT understand the assignment and does some rather impressive Wikipedia research on the fly, and Amie reads through a variety of real life genie/jinn stories that cover everything from bullying bullies to a jinn that puts its complaints in writing. Look, the internet had a stroke this week, and we're just hoping this was 2021 throwing one last fit on us. May all your lang synes be auld in 2022! .

Happy Muppet Christmas Carol month! 'Tis the season for hanging out in airports, as we tackle HAUNTED MISSISSIPPI! Tami drinks a delicious tribute to Grandmama whilst being unable to say the name of a river in Meridian without laughing. And Amie introduces us to the weirdest house we've ever covered, The McRaven Mansion. This place has it all: highwaymen, temporary Civil War hospital status, and a pair of sisters that are #GrayGardensGoals. We may be desperate millennials with no hope of home ownership, but at least we don't live here. .

Is it the most wonderful time of the year? Are there scary ghost stories? Check. Tales of the glories? Check. Are the aforementioned tales from Christmases long, long ago? BIG CHECK! Join us for a very special episode of CHRISTMAS GHOSTS! Amie shares some facts about the reason for the season (hint: it's witchy af), whilst wondering why the Victorians thought murderous frogs were festive. Tami reads a few ghost stories that have a touch of the Christmas spirit (do you get it???). Let's raise a glass to the downfall of peeping tom Santas and, as always, A Muppet Christmas Carol, because it just does the most. It DOES, doesn't it? .

Ya know how to hiss, don't ya? Put your lips together and SCREAM! This episode got political before it even dropped, because this week's Fifty States of Ghosts installment is WASHINGTON DC! Tami tries to figure out if she qualifies as dour yet, while covering the (not) very well-known Lafayette Square Park. And Amie couldn't resist the allure of a demon cat whose buxom figure has been seen at the haunted (and recently ransacked) Capitol Building. Try listening to this episode backwards, and let us know if we can plead our own insanity defense. .

Which mom book do you get your egyptology knowledge from? This week Amie's got her smart glasses on for this episode on MUMMIES AND TOMBS! First up is the (allegedly) most cursed/curing mummy in all of Victorian England. This thing has everything from duck hunting on the Nile to the g-d Titanic! And Amie teaches us why you shouldn't trust Google translator for your hieroglyphic curses (hint: I don't think that's what donkeys are for). Is God mad because we took the Christ out of the common era? Who knows... we're drunk on chunky tomb wine! .

How do we explain any of this to Gen Z? Fresh off of Amie's Off Broadway debut, the gals bring you another in the Fifty States of Ghosts series: HAUNTED MICHIGAN! Don't panic, we haven't done this before, no matter how much Tim Allen bullied us. Amie does the haunted Makinac island, where the likes include fudge and the dislikes include alarm clocks. And Tami talks about a orphanage that is as depressing as it is haunted! We're surprised, then delighted to see you, just like our favorite 90s sitcom intros! .

Fidn out why the O'Bannons are O'Buttholes and the insane realty law that takes place at Leap Castle in Ireland.

Is that tingling feeling paranormal, or just battery acid on your fingers? Strap in because we have two stories from the spookiest corner of the the state MASSACHUSETTS! Tami starts us out with a Salem jail built WITH and UPON a bunch of witch-murdering stones. And just in time for the holidays, Amie makes "visiting your cousin" a new porn genre - you're welcome! Broken recorders and Judge Dick Cheese are no match for us this week... just don't ask us to come up with a down payment. .

It's the most spookiest time of the year... That's right, it's time for the Banshees and Booze Halloween tradition: SPOOKY CAMPFIRE TALES!!! Amie shares some tales of local urban legends and myths, told by the people that grew up with them. And Tami decides to piss herself (without her FUD!) by reading scary stories of people camping 2 days before she, ya know... goes camping. (Spoiler alert: I'm alive and writing this!) So if you're Starbucks rich, be sure to shout Tabi-tabi po before you She Wee all that caffeine out, and remember... don't rat out Tami to Etsy! .

I bet you didn't know you would here so much crane content on this ghost podcast, but GUESS WHAT THIS IS A SPECIAL LOVE STORY! This week's Fifty States of Ghosts episode features quite possibly the most haunted state in the country: SOUTH CAROLINA!!! Tami shares tales of the Battery Carriage House in Charleston, where there are 3 separate rooms that need to be avoided (unless Tami is finally ready to date again...). And Amie takes us to an entire island that's haunted by more than just the rich wypipo who vacation there - think a Gray Man and a Boston Terrier who valiantly does not know his physical limitations. Enjoy these spooky tales, and be grateful you don't have to explain to your girlfriend about your bird work-wife. .

- Underwear and PJ protocol If you've ever wondered if Amie and Tami have strict underwear and PJ protocols, this is the episode for you! This week we're celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day, and eating (drinking?) a little crow! Tami reads an article that flips the cliché of the "ancient Indian burial ground" on it's head, and Amie reads some real stories from First Nations people that have the gals certain that they'll NEVER sleep again!

Is there anything more romantic than the presence of linens? Not if you're in HAUNTED NEW YORK! Start spreadin' the BOOS... Amie talks about the 19 too many ghosts in the restaurant One If By Land, Two If By Sea. Don't go there if you like to have two earrings at the same time (yikes!). And Tami brings us the cursed real estate at 57 West 57th Street, which at least has the convenience of an in-building insane asylum. Plus hear about Amie's spooky Italian first person story from the oldest AirBnB you've ever heard of! .
