Happy Valentines Day 2024 Haunties... or is it Valentines Day 1724? This week, Nat convinces Aly that our current calendar is a fake and history as we know it is a lie. According to the Phantom Time Conspiracy, the years known colloquially as "The Middle Ages" never even happened and we are all currently living in the 1720s. Even more disturbing, some of our most treasured heroes, artifacts, and historical events, are complete fabrications! WHAT? Why would someone want to fake a time period? Babe, you better buckle the f up- IT’S TIME TO GET HAUNTED!
