For this one, we’ll tackle one of the most famous horror films of the 1970s: The Exorcist.

Lighthouses have been around for more than 2200 years, lighting the way for ships and warning of shallow waters. For most of that time, lighthouses required a human operator: someone to manage the light. The light keeper was a dedicated person, often serving the light for a decade or more. With that kind of devotion, is it any wonder many of them are haunted? In this episode, we visit six such lig...

The autumn of 1973 saw a wave of UFO sightings across the country, but especially in the south. While many of those sightings were mere lights in the sky, some were much more.

Our first stop is Billie Creek Village, a living history museum just outside Rockville...

Once again, it’s time to pack up the Ope, A Ghost van and set out on another haunted road trip. This time, we’re heading to Atlanta, Georgia—but some roads are better left untraveled. Our stops in the ATL begin at the site of the deadliest hotel fire in American history where some victims remain, even if history has forgotten.

Some things go together so well they've come to define the concept of togetherness Peanut butter and jelly or Bonnie and Clyde come to mind, but this isn’t one of those times.

First, we travel to St. Paul, Minnesota, where the elegant Forepaugh's Restaurant plays host...
