Guess who's back, back again? It's Freaks and Treats, dudes, back in business after a brief hiatus.
This month, we're discussing the rather heavy topic of altruistic suicide. Ela kicks us off by telling us all about the village of Eyam, AKA the Plague Village. We learn about the tragic but fascinating story of a village of people who gave up their lives (not their limes). Expect mispronunciations and inappropriate giggles from the start.
For those who may be struggling with their mental health right now, we send you our love and sincerely hope you're able to seek help. For those in the UK, this NHS article provides a range of useful resources and numbers you can contact.

Obedience: Mount Washington Strip Search Scam
In part two of Ela and Sarah's deep dive into obedience, Ela tells the story of the Mount Washington strip search phone scam. Warning: contains Sarah's horrified reactions, filthy language, and some dodgy singing that should never have seen the light of day (but you lucky folks get to hear it, anyway).
