For the Weekend Warriors, Weirdos & Whackjobs - Issue #133
Lucky 13 with an extra 3
Out to all subscribers was the first installment of The Eh-Files, brought to you by Justin. A locked trunk sat untouched for decades in an Ontario basement. Inside: letters, occult research, spiritualist artifacts, and a family history obsessed with the paranormal. When it resurfaced in the 1990s, it helped reignite an interest that would find its way into television screens across North America. This is the story of the Aykroyd family, PSI Factor, and the rise of conspiracy TV.
In paid inboxes, 136 Times from Kennedy. “Did you block them?” is a question that often carries an unspoken assumption: that the situation could have been easily controlled if only the victim had made the right choice. Reality is rarely that neat. This week, we examined what continued contact actually looks like in abusive relationships and why context matters more than technology.
Also out to paid subscribers this morning is High Spirits Volume 15! It’s a good one, team. After weeks of reading, researching, and assembling evidence, our resident skeptic, Justin, sits Kennedy down to make his case for why ghosts might actually exist. Along the way: dramatic readings, historical oddities, and the rare spectacle of us mostly agreeing with each other.
What Justin Recommends
Movie | The Backrooms (2026)
My youngest son and I went to this one last Friday night; he was armed with all the background and lore, having watched the YouTube series first. I was genuinely worried this was going to be a nightmare ride of Skinamarink proportions. Ultimately, I think there was enough there for both of us: it’s unnerving, it’s weird, it’s new but familiar. It’s not Skinamarink; it’s something better and something worse. This is not The Exorcist, Hereditary, or Weapons, but it fits in another category somewhere else that’s just as unnerving.
We’ll see you next week!
Until then, rest up.
Love,
Your Bullshit Hunting Team
