Welcome to Ghost Stories and Gummies, where the gummies are strong, and the ghost stories are stronger.
We’re your hosts Savanna and Hayley, two best friends with a love for the weird, the unexplainable, and anything that goes bump in the night.
Each week, we’ll be diving into chilling encounters, haunted places, and the strange stories that keep you up at night all while maybe laughing a little too much and definitely eating too many gummies.
Whether you’re a full-blown believer or just here for the vibes, we’re glad you found us. Now dim the lights, grab your snacks, and let’s get haunted.
This… is Ghost Stories and Gummies.
The early internet was fucking unhinged. 💀
We had dial-up, questionable screen names, absolutely zero internet safety skills, and way too much trust in complete strangers.
This week, I’m taking it back to the creepy, chaotic internet of the ’90s and 2000s when being online felt a little lawless and you never really knew what the fuck you were about to find.
Grab your gummies and sign on 💚👻

Episode 38: Noyesburg Cemetery Where the Fuck Are the Witches?
Noyesburg Cemetery has been called the Witches Graveyard for decades but the deeper I dug into its history, the weirder the story got. Witches, underground knocking, creepy rituals, a possibly haunted log, and one pretty big problem... this might not even be the right fucking cemetery.
So grab your gummies because we're digging into the real history, decades of witchy folklore, paranormal stories, and one hell of a rabbit hole.
Where the fuck did the Witches Graveyard legend actually come from?

Episode 37: Death Row Last Meals & Last Statements
What would your final meal be?
It's one of those questions people joke about... until you realize there are real people who have actually had to answer it.
This week we're diving into the strange, unsettling, and surprisingly emotional world of death row's last meals and final statements. We talk about where the tradition came from, the bizarre requests that actually made it onto the tray, the requests that were denied, and the final words that have haunted people long after the execution was over.
Some inmates joked. Some prayed. Some apologized. Others showed absolutely no remorse. And a few left behind statements that still spark debates decades later.
We'll also get into the psychology behind the ritual, why some states stopped honoring extravagant last meal requests, and the weird little facts that most people never hear about when it comes to executions.
So grab your gummies, get comfy, and let's get weird
