It\'s not episode 69... but almost.

This Spooky Wednesday, Brittany starts us off by finishing her two part story about Kilkenny, Ireland. Not only does she complete the tale of Dame Alice Kyteler, but she also talks about multiple other locations in Kilkenny that show it is an extremely haunted town. And with all these spooky haunted tales, Kala still seems to be the most bothered by the idea of the punishment via Catholic mass 3 times a day. And Kala takes us back home to Minnesota where she discusses the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, MN. This beautiful, old theater is said to be haunted by a man named Ben who froze to death while working at the theater. This story has hidden ceilings, strange old bottles, and flying plaster. And they use the word "apport" several times, but they\'re still not sure they\'re using that word correctly.

EDIT: Through her various connections, Brittany was able to message Tom Campbell, who was the manager of The Fitzgerald for 27 years. She was told, "It wasn\'t like no one knew the balcony was up there. People used to go up and drink up there. They just covered it over with an office style drop ceiling. As to Ben, the story goes that he was a stage hand back in the vaudeville days and was a heavy drinker. One night after too many drinks he stumbled back to the theater but it was locked so he crashed in the alley next to the theater, where the atrium is now and froze to death. I might be able to find the story about the note, but it\'s all pretty bogus stuff."
