Macabre Mondays
Welcome to Macabre Mondays! Where mystery meets the macabre. Some people start their week with coffee. We (mainly Ale) prefer ghosts, mysteries, and things that go bump in the night. Join Alejandra, a lifelong storyteller with a fascination for the strange, the sinister, and the spooky as she shares chilling tales with her husband Tom, who's hearing them for the first time. There's a little bit of marriage, mystery, and some mayhem, all in a weekly escape into the darker side of life.
