Luigi Oujia & Sharkbait Ooo-haha

This Week on Wonderlust:

Welcome back, Wonderers! We are all up in Spooky Season with the Snature, aka science and nature! Sarah examines the real phenomenon behind the Ouija Board, while Emily takes us into the deep to tell us all about sharks.

When we think of something spooky and evil, one of the first things that comes to mind is the Ouija board, right? But is it really as spooky as it sounds? Sarah is on a mission to find out just how spooky the Ouija board really is. She tells us all about the story of how the oujiboard came to be, and the scientific phenomenon behind how it works! Spoiler alert– it may not be as spooky as it seems.

Emily then takes us on another deep dive into the sea, aka her favorite place! She tells us all about our teethy friends, sharks! We learn all about these sharp-toothed creatures, as well as discuss just how much of a danger to people they really are. Another spoiler alert: not as dangerous to us as lightning or mosquitos!

A Brief History of Cats and How Rabbits ended up down the Rabbit Hole

This Week on Wonderlust:

Welcome back, Wonderers! And happy Spooky Season! We kick off the season with History and True Crime! Sarah talks about the history of our beloved housecats while Emily tells us about the crimes of Mary Toft.

As a wise Ellen Perry Berkeley, once said, “As every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat.” So how did our beloved felines become America’s most popular pet? Sarah dives deep into the history of how cats essentially domesticated themselves, and their impact on society and cultures across the world. We discuss everything from hostage cats that were used to conquer Egypt to the spooky supernatural cats of Japan.

Emily then takes us on a wild ride with the tale of Mary Toft. Born in Godalming, Surrey, Mary Toft became quite sensation in England in 1726– after birthing animal parts. Yes, you read that right. Her anatomical mystery whipped up an immense stir, even roping in the surgeon for the Royal Family. Trust us, it’s a story you won’t want to miss! And for sure one you’ll never forget.
