About This Podcast

Meet Siho Ellsmore and Marisa Marquez, two happy Asian girls talking about spooky sh!t. Writers, actors, but more importantly, best friends who have casually talked about things that go bump in the night, squatch in the woods, and abduct in the desert. After years of telling each other these creepypasta stories privately, they thought it was time that everyone else get in on these goosebumps. As women from the Asian diaspora they deep dive into the often untold paranormal stories of people of color (POC) from around the world.
