Haunted or Hoax

Almost Heaven- definitely not Pennsylvania. This week we were actually in West Virginia, talking about another very popular haunt! The Trans-Allegheny Asylum is also known as Weston Hospital. It's old, it's sad, and so it's relatable. It also is supposedly haunted by a little girl, two murder victims, AND something called a creeper. We talk about its long history and try to suss out if a $100 ghos...

Eureka! It's Episode 58, talking about the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

We are continuing 2023 with a location recap from our holiday vacation! This week we talk about Old Stone House in DC. Georgetown to be specific, where George Washington was rumored to have planned our nation capital, and a woman hating spirit named George currently haunts. All these Georges aren't related....or are they? The Old Stone House really is old and has seen a LOT since the 1700s. From s...

It's the first episode of 2023! We had a great break, but we missed you guys! We are starting the new year in New York, naturally.

We are coming down to the end of the year! Before we take a vacation, we decided to spend a little time in Pennsylvania. Specifically, in jail. Eastern State Penitentiary to be exact.

From Slick Willy's to Mob Boss interior designing you can't be...

As far as ghosts though? Well.....

It's episode 50 and OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! That's right, Haunted or Hoax has been around for 365 days. It's been an amazing, iconic first year for us.

A haunting that launched a franchise! There was a LOT to...

Episode 49 is about one of the most mysterious, talked about places on the West Coast. The Cecil Hotel has had serial killers stay, multiple deaths, a mysterious caught on film accident, not to mention inspiring a season of American Horror Story. But is it haunted? Well, Ghost Adventures investigated so you know what that means! Or maybe...we don't. Haunted or not, this place is a doozy and so muc...

Episode 48 is here! This week we discuss Pennhurst School and Hospital, also known today as Pennhurst Asylum. This location is filled with a lot of heavy, graphic topics, so listener discretion is advised. From patient mistreatment, rumors of bad dentistry, and too many incident reports, it's no wonder this former hospital in Pennsylvania is rumored to be haunted. But is there anything to back of...

Episode 47 is really kicking off October! This week we talk about the iconic Snedeker House in Connecticut. This is an intense case and one of the Ed and Lorraine Warren investigations. It's got a book deal, fantastic horror film, and documentary all about the horrors the Snedeker family. But what's true? What's Hollywood fiction? What about the eyelids?

Happy October, ghosts and ghouls! We decided to take a trip to our favorite city Savannah, GA! We went on a Haunted Pub Crawl that did not disappoint with the stories or the booze. There were some tantalizing tales but were any of them true? We'll leave the finally verdict up to you. But we do agree, 10/10 would do a tipsy tour again! We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by...

How has it taken us 45 episodes to talk about Vampires? We don't know either! But this week we are satisfying an itch we didn't have talking about the New England Vampire Panic. Yes, we had one of those. And not the sort of West Coast glittery moody vampires we all panicked about in high school. These are much more gruesome...and ashy!  First witches, we've covered the ghosts, then vampires...New...

A short episode this week as we take episode 42 to Michigan and discuss Haught Mansion. So there is no excuse NOT to listen all the way through! Kidding (sort of)! The house first really came up on lists after Seph Lawless photographed it for their Haunted House inspired book. It surely does have the creepy look of a Haunted mansion down, but does it have the haunted history to back it up? Listen...

Okay, done now, promise! We'd appreciate i...

So, we said we were heading to the West Coast this week. But things got....rerouted and we ended right back up in Louisiana! Episode 39 centers around Myrtles Plantation a place full of history and very specific haunts. To a widely advertised legend of a slave girl to a man dying on the 17th step, we try to separate what's a real haunt and what seems a little far fetched. We'd appreciate it if you...

Get your weekly fix with Episode 36! We are still on location this week. Well...when we recorded this we were. We took a day trip to Cumberland Island located in South Georgia! We saw dolphins, Kristen scolded a snake away from a photo op, and some wild horses that roam the island! It's a mostly untouched, beautiful, very hot and humid island with a lot of history. We also heard it was a little cu...

We took a break and a trip! Jumping back into Episode 35 we took a Fourth of July jaunt to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach for a Ghost Tour!
