The Sister Files

Do you know the reasons and stories behind this widely celebrated holiday? Join Brandy and Raven as they look into the holiday.

It's our first S.P.A. (specific paranormal activity) Day. SPA days will highlight paranormal, supernatural, strange, or unexplained events that happened on a certain day in history. 

Today in 1942 was the Battle of Los Angeles. No, not the movie, but the actual event that the movie was loosely based on. 

Join us as we look into how this event inspired a movie and if it truly was paranormal.
