Episode 8: The Haunted Bricks of Salem Oregon.

TW: Language, Death/Murder (historical, some involving women). Last episode we talked about how this "Brick Shit" seems to be contagious. We’re going to share some more of that unfolding madness with you as it seems to be spreading!
We are also going to talk about an amazing historic site that we recently visited together, the Willamette Heritage Center, and tell you about the hauntings experienced there due to its high liminality.
The location of the Mill itself even adds to the liminality of the spot.
The Dye House - partially reconstructed.
Original bricks in the front of the dye house.
Andrea took this photo in a place next to the Mill that gave us both major vibes.
It's always a good day when Two Witches can go bricking together!
Red bricks in the creek all over, just teasing us as we walked around exploring.

We told you it was contagious...

A happy LeHigh brick, back with its brethren at the brick station, near the "Blue Finger of God" that AP Strange bought SJ for Christmas.
Way back in Episode One we told you this "Brick Shit" was contagious. SJ sent out a batch of Hiddens to new members of #TeamBrick and immediately strange things began happening... to at least 6 people. Even our friends Sam and Sage from Your Brain On Weird Podcast have been sucked in with a wild brick synchronicity of their own, 5 years in the making! Sage and Sam strangely found a Stiles and Hart brick at a concert over five years ago. SJ posted her new S & H Bricks one day before Sam rediscovered the brick they found. It's getting pretty weird now...

The Latest Members of Team Brick!

Here's a list of our friends and listeners we mentioned in this episode that have become members of #TeamBrick! They are awesome and you should follow them and check out their work since you like weird stuff!
Taylor is a vintage VW fanatic, UFO enthusiast, and podcaster from Dr. Who podcast PODcastica and a brand new Weird podcast out called All Night with the Living Geeks. Taylor has recently added talking to bricks to his repertoire and even started dreaming about them, and we absolutely love that!
Taylor dreamed about UFO Bricks.
Emily is a fellow brick lover and posts lots of photos of bricks and their cats, which SJ very much appreciates. Emily also is very open with the issues surrounding her adoption by white conservatives, and how that affects her life as an LGBT person of color.
MoonWxtch - Witch and SJ's latest adopted brick daughter, one of the newest Members of Team Brick. She recently discovered the spot where she works her magick was right over some mystery bricks, and surprisingly connected some experiences this summer to them.
Two Witches Podcast recognizes that Sex Work is Real Work and Sex Workers like our friend MoonWxtch deserve to be respected. If you have a problem with that, don't bother listening to our shit!
Just another Existential Crisis from a member of #TeamBrick. We don't know what's happening quite yet either, Moonwxtch.
UPDATE: After we recorded this episode and created this show notes page, unbelievably Moonwxtch's home burned in a terrible fire, resulting in the loss of most of her family's items. A load of her laundry and one other newly received personal item made it through the flames... her Hidden brick. I will never forget this photograph as long as I live. Moonwxtch and her wife are okay, but their cats are still missing as of episode release day in January.
If you feel moved to help a member of #TeamBrick rebuild, you can support her HERE. If you send her $50 to help and send us proof, consider yourself #Bricked. 2 are still up for grabs as of this writing - see our Pinned Post on Twitter for further information.
