About

Happy Halloween! On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at Halloween cemetery stories plus the death of River Phoenix - a Halloween Gawn Too Soon… Have you heard of the Magnificent Seven? Not the Western, but London’s magnificent seven private cemeteries with hauntings galore! In honour of Halloween, Geordie recounts some cemetery folklore, starting with the story of L. a wealthy publisher from the early 1930s who had a ghostly encounter atKensal Green Cemetery with an old flame… She then investigates the Highgate Vampire, some scary black magic encounters, dark figures, stakes through bodiesand more! Michelle then follows with one of the most hauntingly tragic deaths of the 1990s – River Phoenix. On October 30, 1993, Hollywood actor River Phoenix had come off a day of shooting and was hyped to go Johnny Depp's LA club, The Viper Room, to jam with his mates, including Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. But things didn't work out as planned and instead of playing on stage with friends on Halloween, River ended up dying on the pavement outside the club from a deadly speedball. What happened that night? Who gave him the speedball? RIP River. So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about Couples Therapy, Dan the Post, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast.
