<p>In Greek mythology, Echo is a mountain nymph who incurred the wrath of the goddess Hera. Our guest shares her name, yet unlike the nymph Echo, our guest was raised by demons in the attic of a dilapidated home and has incurred the favor of Lilith.</p>



<p>Listen tot he episode here: </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ghost-stories-and-greek-mythology">Ghost Stories and Greek Mythology </h2>



<p>Echo hasn&#8217;t gotten any sleep at the house she&#8217;s housesitting because of a smoke detector that only goes off at night. The home&#8217;s owner has just replaced the detector&#8217;s batteries in hopes of fixing the problem, but the alarm continues to go off—starting at 2 a.m. each night. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ghosts-caught-on-video">Ghosts caught on video</h3>



<p>Here, Echo films the detector and catches an orb on the camera. Can you see it?</p>

<p>Echo then starts looking for the culprit of the smoke detector malfunction, and wanders into the dark basement. Look closely at the film—can you see Echo&#8217;s reflection in the sliding glass door? Is anything else amiss?</p>

<p>In another house, Echo is disturbed by a stove that clicks and shoots blue sparks—even after it&#8217;s been unplugged. It is common for gas stoves to make noises like this while off, but they shouldn&#8217;t be doing it if they haven&#8217;t been used for weeks, or if they are completely unplugged. What do you think is going on?</p>

<p>In the same home, Echo gets a light fixture to flicker on and off at her command. Check out the video below and let us know what you think is going on:</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-you-sell-your-child-s-soul">Can you sell your child&#8217;s soul?</h3>



<p>Selling your baby&#8217;s soul to the devil sounds like a great plot for a TV show. And, actually, it is! Have you seen Reaper?</p>



<p>If not, be sure to <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0955322/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check it out</a>. It&#8217;s quite funny! We highly recommend binging it while you&#8217;re holed up at home.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-a-gnome-be-demonic">Can a gnome be demonic?</h3>



<p>Echo&#8217;s got a pretty freaky looking gnome that we just love. Here&#8217;s a picture:</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-more-spooky-gnome-pictures">More Spooky Gnome Pictures</h2>



<p>We asked some members of our group to send us their gnome pics and we got some interesting answers.</p>



<p>Kelli Rule, an artist in Washougal, WA, shared an image from her Gnome series. This gnome isn&#8217;t demonic; he&#8217;s just grieving:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="960" height="960" src="https://homespunhaints.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/gnome_alone.jpg" alt="gnome alone by Kelli Rule" class="wp-image-422" srcset="https://homespunhaints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/gnome_alone.jpg 960w, https://homespunhaints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/gnome_alone-300x300.jpg 300w, https://homespunhaints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/gnome_alone-150x150.jpg 150w, https://homespunhaints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/gnome_alone-768x768.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Gnome Alone</em> by Kelli Rule.

<p>This is the gnome in Becky&#8217;s garden:</p>
