Ever wonder about the origins of vampire tales in New Orleans? This week Angie shares the tale of the Casquette Girls of New Orleans from 1728. Their sickly appearance spawned rumors of vampires.

Theresa steers the conversation in a completely different direction as she recounts the exploits of Sargent Stubby, the stray dog who served in WWI and goes further back in history to share the tale of Jack Brutus, the mastiff serving in the Spanish-American War.
