HALLOWEEN: The death of River Phoenix, plus ghost stories from London's cemeteries
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 at
Kensal Green Cemetery with an old flame… She then investigates the Highgate Vampire, some scary black magic encounters, dark figures, stakes through bodies
and 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.

43. MAYDAY: The Überlingen air disaster, plus the kid in the cockpit tragedy
52:15||Season 5, Ep. 43On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at air disasters… On 1 July 2002, BAL Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937 from Moscow hit a DHL cargo plane mid air above the German town on Überlingen, near the Swiss border. There were no survivors. How could a tragedy like this occur? Were the pilots to blame? Was the air-traffic controller at fault? Were the planes suffering technical difficulties? Listen now to Geordie’s take on this tragedy and the devastating consequences in the aftermath. When we board a plane, how do we know who’s really behind the wheel? On 23 March 1994, Aeroflot 593 departed Moscow for Hong Kong. The plane never arrived. As one of the most avoidable air crashes in aviation history, what really happened on that flight to send the plane crashing into a Siberian mountain range? Was it a flight-system malfunction? Pilot incompetence? Or were there kids in the cockpit that put the plane on a flight path to f*cked? It’s a harrowing ride, so fasten your seatbelts and adopt the brace position for Michelle’s deep dive into this terrible tragedy.
