The Tipsy Ghost

The episode where Lindsey shares a paranormal story about a literal ghost town: Bannack, Montana. There is a lot of history behind this mining town that was founded in 1862 and left abandoned a century later. Rather than demolish the buildings and the town, the state preserved the town as a State Park that you can now visit. And of course, to be a ghost town, one must be haunted with ghosts (suppo...

The episode where we share our recent investigation in our favorite spooky town of Alton, IL. AND it’s another Masonic Lodge! Listen, we love a place we’re not supposed to be. This is the Franklin Lodge #25, and no that is not a ranking system. What happens when you put the 3 of us in a men’s only place? Answer: Shenanigans, as we tell the spirits we can vote AND wear pants now. We sat on thrones,...

The extra episode where Sarah brings us another story of a famous historical figure from Austria! And no, it’s not Mozart. This is the story of King Ludwig II and how his eccentricities in life led to a true crime mystery. Some may even say…unsolved?! Lindsey is proud, look at them doing unsolved mysteries. The less said about the story, the better, but it is a fascinating piece of history and you...

The episode where Boydston gives us another scam true crime story, our favorite. And listen, we’re gonna deep dive into two incredibly niche hobbies: fly tying/birds and salmon fishing. Combine that with a flautist who just really wanted a golden flute, and you have a crime that really we should have been called about cus we could have solved this. It’s 2009, Edwin Rist breaks into a museum to ste...

The episode where Lindsey shares a smorgasbord story about Lady Wonder, a psychic horse. Yes, this is a real story, and no ChatGPT did not contribute to it. Lady Wonder was known for being a stable sleuth and solving true crime while also making election predictions. She did it all, much like our boy Sound. Listen, Lady Wonder may not measure up to Sound but we love a good animal story and a good...

The episode where Sarah brings us a paranormal story that really is a giant history lesson on Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Sisi). She is quite famous in Austria and we’ll learn about her life and death, and the legacy she left behind. Just remember: it’s Sisi or No-No. Thank you Boydston for her high brow humor, the jokes just write themselves here. We’ll also learn about the famous Habsburg and...

The episode where we share our recent investigation at the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City, OK. We did it, we finally broke into Oklahoma! The Skirvin is famous in the Midwest and got its haunted history when NBA players started reporting paranormal activity when they visited. A haunted hotel, sign us up! We’ll talk about WB Skirvin who built the hotel (please don’t ask what his initials stand for)...

The episode where Boydston brings us an extra episode about a meeting that really should have been an email. Plot twist, it’s the 1100s and it involved a collapse into crap. Literally. We bet you haven’t heard of the 1184 Erfurt latrine disaster, but you’ll never forget this story now. Listen, the 1100s were wild, and we cannot take these names seriously. I think the name Landgrave about killed us...

The episode where Lindsey brings us some true crime from Ireland. The year is 1895, Bridget Cleary is a sick lady, and she winds up dead. The doctor said it was bronchitis but her husband said “nah, it’s fairies”. More specifically, she was a fairy and he needed to murder her to bring his real wife back. This story is tragic, especially considering it happened close to the 1900s. Commonly called “...

The episode where Sarah brings us our new favorite type of story: a gay pirate love story. We have shipped a new couple, and this one is Anne Bonny and Mary Read. We learn that Boydston has a knack for pirate pickup lines, we plan to play pirates (but not the sexy kind), and we get to hear all of our lovely pirate accents return. Don’t worry, Lindsey is gonna sing for us because this story is basi...

The episode where Boydston brings us the story of the 1855 Devil’s Footprints in Devon, England. The story is pure chaos, but first you must answer the question of what footprints would ruin your day? Lost? It’s ok, so are we, but don’t worry we’ll give you plenty of details (some may say too much) so you can accurately give an answer. Imagine waking up to animal prints left overnight in the snow...

The episode where we share our recent haunted investigation of the Historic Wolf Hotel in Ellinwood, Kansas. This place has been lovingly restored and is available for investigations. The coolest part? LOTS of underground tunnels, a dentist barber, a saloon in the underground tunnels that still acts as a bar, creepy dolls, and ghosts. We’ll share our night spent walking the tunnels and our new fri...

The episode where Sarah shares the history behind one of the most infamous pirates to sail the seas. We know him, but do we REALLY know the story behind the man? No…in fact we’re gonna create our own storyline, just go with it. Meet Edward Teech, or as we all know him, Blackbeard. He was a ruthless pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy, but we’ll learn how he got started, his reign over the seas,...

The episode where Boydston brings us a fascinating story about the mass panic that ensued after the 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast. Picture it: 1938, New Jersey. No phones, no Internet, you tune in for a relaxing night of listening to the radio, when all of a sudden the broadcast tells you aliens are invading the world. Cue panic. How would you know something is true without being able to...

The episode where Lindsey shares the paranormal story of the mysterious Flying Dutchman. We all know the legend, but we’re going to learn how the legend came about, what actual historical facts surround the creation of the legend, and also throw in some science facts. The Flying Dutchman is said to roam the seas for all eternity, cursing anyone who comes in his path…with his laser pointer. Listen,...

The episode where we share our recent investigation of the Historic Commercial Hotel in Osceola, MO. If you live in Missouri, you know exactly where this small town is because of the famous cheese store. Welcome to the Midwest. This hotel has history dating back to the Civil War when Kansas and Missouri had some beef with each other. But it’s okay, they can be friends now, trust us.  Anyway, altho...

The episode where Boydston brings us some true crime that’s really more of a history lesson on the history of developing vaccines for diphtheria and smallpox and the biologics that made it possible. We’re gonna meet our new horse friend, Jim, and we love him almost as much as Sound. There’s a lot of science talk, so buckle up guys. This will all lead to the eventual passing of The 1902 Biologics C...

The episode where Lindsey shares a fun story that occurred in 2020 that many of us may have forgotten because that year was a dumpster fire. And to be clear, we mean 2020, NOT 1920. Just to be clear, in case you got confused. This is the story of the Utah Monolith and the mystery behind it. Where did it come from? Who put it there? Why is it there? If you ask the Sarahs: aliens. Duh. Add it to the...

The episode where Sarah brings us the infamous story of our favorite villain: Grigori Rasputin. If you haven’t listened to her episode about the Romanov family, go listen and then come back to learn all about Rasputin and how his mini Rasputin got into a lot of trouble. There’s a lot of disturbing stuff here, so feel free to put your earmuffs on with Lindsey, especially when you find out where Ras...

The episode where we return to Emmaus Asylum in Marthasville, MO. Please listen to episode 290 for the history behind this amazing place and our first experience there. You remember this place as the one that reignited our love of ghost hunting, so you know we had to return. Can confirm: the vibes were still there. Lots of shenanigans ensue, Sarah’s impression of speech impediments are Boydston’s...

The episode where Lindsey brings us a true crime of an infamous case that changed the way physicians practice medicine. This is John Bodkin Adams, a British physician who was accused of murdering his patients, in what was at that time called the murder trial of the century. Was it gross incompetence or serial mercy killer? It is still argued over, but the facts are that this case changed protectio...

The episode where Sarah brings us a smorgasbord about one of Russia’s most famous stories: the Romanov family. Most of us know about Anastasia (thanks Disney), but we’re going to deep dive into what led up to the night the family was massacred. Lindsey will give us some Russian accents, and Boydston makes a tin foil dress. And we promise, no Anastasia singing (even though we REALLY wanted to). Sta...

The episode where Boydston brings us a paranormal story about the town of Cairo….Illinois. This town has a deep history of racism. Not mining, like some may think. The town is deserted now, but there’s a Ghost Hospital (actually), and some bad vibes. Who wants to come to Cairo with us?! Come say hi on our socials!  Facebook- The Tipsy Ghost Instagram- @thetipsyghostpodcast TikTok @thetipsyghost_po...

The episode where we share our recent return to Cowtown in Wichita, KS. We haven’t been here since 2021, so we were overdue to return and see if the spirits missed us. TBD if they did. We got some weird vibes in a jail, we reunited with Beary (our fave), and no investigation is complete without some singing. Don’t worry, we won’t subject you to that. Come say hi on our socials!  Facebook- The Tips...

The episode where Sarah brings us part two of Operation Midnight Climax, so please make sure you check out last week’s episode for part 1 of the story. We’re gonna start back up with the story of Frank Olsen, a tragic unsolved story. We’ll also learn what we learned from Midnight Climax (not much), and whether we want to know what’s being done now (we don’t). Government is fun, thanks Sarah. Come...
