This week on Another F*cking Horror Podcast, Monique and Amy kick off spooky season with two wildly different stories: one paranormal, one historical, and both completely unhinged.

Monique starts with the story of Beth Brown, a longtime paranormal investigator and self-described “hopeful skeptic” who spent decades trying to find logical explanations for the unexplained. Her skepticism is put to the test when she attends a psychic reading featuring a mysterious ghost box. When the device produces messages containing private family details, including the childhood nickname of Beth’s deceased father, she is forced to confront an experience she can’t easily explain.

Things get even stranger when, during a later investigation at the Mason House Inn, a voice Beth immediately recognizes as her late father-in-law comes through the box saying, “Hey girl.” Afterward, paranormal activity follows Beth home, eventually becoming so overwhelming that she walks away from her career in paranormal research. 

Then Amy absolutely horrifies Monique with the insane story of Tarrare, an 18th-century French man whose appetite was so extreme that he could eat his own body weight in food and still be hungry. After being kicked out of his home, he became a traveling sideshow act, swallowing everything from corks and stones to live animals. 

Tarrare later entered the military and briefly served as a spy, using his ability to eat anything to transport secret documents. After his first mission went horribly awry, he returned to the military hospital and begged the doctors to cure him. But nothing worked. Then during his stay there, a 14-month-old child mysteriously disappeared, and the hospital staff immediately suspected that Tarrare was responsible. The accusation was never proven, but it became one of the most infamous parts of his story.

This episode has a haunted inn, a ghost box, secret family nicknames, a dead father-in-law saying “Hey girl,” an 18th-century human garbage disposal, cannibalism allegations, and one deeply disturbing historical meme.
