Looking for a creepy distraction? Bethany talks about the '90s BBC special “Ghostwatch,” a show that terrified a generation of kids, caused The BBC to bury it, and inspired tv and movies like “The Blair Witch Project." Then, Kathleen dips into the Facebook page to help you all out with your problems! From being stuck at home with parents to losing your bra tissues, Kathleen and Bethany try to sort out some of your tricky situations. And, as always, your voicemails!
