We go to Noa's hometown of Abilene, Texas, and hang out with the cult that freaked out the FBI, until Waco and Heaven's Gate ended badly and these folks just continued to do their (bad) thing and advocate for world peace (in a bad way also??).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READ!!

Noa and friend Erin take a trip to Abilene, Texas to discuss black-eyed children, whose black eyes are almost unnoticeable compared to their gelatinous skin and talon toes! DON'T let them in your house.

The last of the Halloween-centric episodes and it's all about the money made <3 money made by candy overlords and one family on Long Island. Pumpkins, Batman, Starwars, and one very weird genre of Instagram.

- Lisa Morton's 'Trick or Treat'
Noa is back to ruin your day with her horribly detailed dive into American Halloween and its origins, symbols, celebrations, costumes, culture, and religious implications. Trick or Treating! World War Two! Candy Corn! also Noa wants you to know that she was a zombie in a corn maze in high school. She did it once and mentions it briefly in this episode but consider it! Also: are we team Anoka or team Salem? Discuss.

Celebrate the spooky season with this first-ever episode of 1313 Mockingbird. Noa gets down and dirty with the celts and brits, as we walk our way through the origins of Halloween. There's fortune-telling, bonfires, witches, ghosts, fairies, and a guy named Johnny - plus, you just might meet your true love.
what if the real Halloween was the demon horse we met along the way? xoxo
