47. Roads Less Traveled: Ghosts, PNW Legends, and the Road Trip That Sparked a Podcast

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, we’re revisiting the road trip that started it all! In this special all-new version of our very first episode, Shea and Jody take you back to the haunted streets of Astoria, Oregon, and the eerie Heceta Head Lighthouse, where ghost stories and local legends sparked our love for diving into the strange and forgotten. Along the way, we showcase the infectious humor and chemistry that have defined the podcast, making it the perfect introduction for new listeners!

As we look back on an amazing year, we also talk about some of our favorite episodes and the incredible guests who have joined us, including Allison Gill of The Daily Beans and Clean Up On Aisle 45, author Brad Holden, historian Michael Sullivan, and Chris Staudinger from Pretty Gritty Tours. From the origins of the Men in Black phenomenon in our Summer of Saucers episode, to the chilling story of Linda Hazzard, the "Starvation Doctor," and the bizarre Pig Wars of the San Juan Islands, we’ve uncovered the forgotten and the fantastic with a unique PNW twist.
