Season 4, Episode 14: For your consideration, Daniel & Quinn present to you our biggest podcast of the year; the 2021 Halloween Special "Carolina Magic: The Story of a Man Torn Between His Love & His Duty." It's our favorite podcast to write each season, and we couldn't be more excited to tell you the story of Reverend James McCaffrey, the long ago forefather of Carolina Panther sensation Christian McCaffrey. Let's try to find out what has happened to the McCaffrey clan, and whether history will repeat itself... and is there a witch down in Tampa Bay???  Find out all this, and more, on a very special episode of the Vampire Journals Podcast.
