Unpacking The Eerie
Unpacking the Eerie is a passion project that merges the intersections of our dark curiosities with our deeply held values. Each episode we’ll dig past the surface of morbid fascination, scavenging for unasked questions surrounding the stories that creep the hell out of us. We hope that when you listen, you’ll experience the feels, the enjoyment, the horror and interludes of comedic relief that we do. - 2 politicized social workers who met in the Pacific Northwest, USA and are now based in the PNW and in India.

Unpacking The Eerie
23. I'm Blue (Da Ba Dee Da Ba Di)
DARK HISTORY: The Blue Fugates of Kentucky
cw: incest, childhood sexual abuse, rape, abortion
After a few months off, we’re back y’all! And this time Shaena takes us down to another small town to learn about a family of blue people. Yes, you read that right - Blue People. Join us as we wander down to Troublesome Creek, Kentucky and learn about the Fugates: aka The Blue Fugates, aka ‘The Blue People of Kentucky’. Why are they blue? Listen to find out. Spoiler alert: it has to do with a lot of inbreeding. This episode, Shaena explores the history of this family, asking the question “Why the Fuck Are They Blue?”, and takes us on a few wild and uncomfortable tangents about incest. Buckle Up!
