Earlier in the season, we talked about "The Supernaturals" by David L. Golemon. We loved it! We loved it so much, we grabbed the sequel and started reading. And that's what we have on this episode. "In the Still of the Night" by David L. Golemon brings back to the ghost hunting team of The Supernaturals, and we can't wait to talk about it! Our companion spirit is "A Midwinter Night's Dram" presented by High West! We tried to feature this bottle in a previous episode that was eaten by digital demons. So, we're extremely happy to talk about it here on this episode.
