The Tipsy Ghost

The episode where we discuss the haunted hospital turned horror attraction: Asylum 49 in Tooele, Utah. This place has several spirits attached to it from its history as a hospital and nursing home, and now runs as one of the most famous haunted attractions in the US. We also tap into one of the Sarahs’ biggest fears: returning to the hospital as a spirit. There’s plenty of bad puns to be had too,...

The episode where we discuss our recent haunted investigation at Horridge House in Vinton, Iowa. Oh Iowa, we love you and your spookiness. This place has been around since 1859, but just opened to haunted investigations a few months ago! Because of this, we were some of the first to investigate which was incredibly cool. This place has everything, a George(yes!), competing doctors (maybe), a haunt...

The episode where we discuss one of the biggest losses of American life: Jonestown. This one is infamous and a big case to cover, so we’re going to get right to it, Sarah starting us off with the backstory to the cult leader, Jim Jones. Next Boydston and Lindsey will tackle the rise of the People’s Temple, Jonestown, and the tragic end and mass suicide. We’re throwing up all the warnings, because...

The episode where we discuss one of the most disturbing serial killers in the US: Ed Gein. This guy has inspired several of our favorite slasher films and their villains because of the disturbing nature of his crimes. So fair warning: lots of graphic descriptions of body mutilation in this episode. But don’t worry, we’re gonna try to lighten things up: we’ve got some Heiny Weenie, Lindsey simply c...

The episode where we discuss all the things…it's Smorgasbord time! Boydston starts us off with a disturbing story about Hans Schmidt, aka the only priest ever executed in the United States, and Lindsey bakes the worst cake ever. Next is Sarah with the phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion! Listen closely for Sarah's impression of a spring - she's a sound effect genius. What are your thoughts...

The episode where Lindsey gives us a quickie about one of the newest cryptids on the block: El Chupacabra. We're going to name him The Chupes. His story starts in Puerto Rico and moves all over the world, including the Chupes Factory of the world: Texas. Who is The Chupes? An escaped experimental monkey, a feral dog, or something not of this world?! If you ask Sarah, it's an alien. We're going to...

The episode where we return to McInteer Villa in Atchison, Kansas. We loved McInteer so much, we had to return and gather more evidence…and revisit our spooky doll friends. We'll interview the owner and our honorary BFF, Stephanie, plus revisit the place we couldn't really investigate last time: the attic! Tune in to hear just some of the things that happened in the basement while we were asleep a...

The episode where Sarah brings us a short commuter episode about Lake Superior - the creepiest of the Great Lakes. Little disappointed it's not Lake Erie, but oh well. This lake is honestly bigger than a lake…maybe why it's a Great Lake…but this lake is THICC, and she's got a haunting history. This lake never gives back her dead, and there are literal graveyards all over this lake. Creepy lake sto...

The episode where we discuss all the conspiracies and evidence behind one of the most famous UFO encounters in US history: the Roswell incident! For those unfamiliar with Roswell, it’s the 1947 discovery of flying debris in New Mexico and the UFO craze that took the nation by storm. Listen, you know any story about aliens is going to be a good discussion between Lindsey and the Sarahs. We’re gonna...

The episode where we discuss all things spooky and paranormal! First, we pick our familiars…and they are not your typical familiar.

This story has everything: Lindsey singing, an Applebee’s, and a portal...

The episode where we discuss our recent investigation at the Farrar Schoolhouse in Iowa. This place was built in 1921 and operated as a school for all ages until it closed its doors in 2002. Over the past 100 years, there have been reports of shadow people, children’s voices and laughter, and ghostly footsteps. This is one of the few places we’ve investigated with no negative energy or tragic back...

The episode where we discuss some of our favorite and spookiest true crime stories. Lindsey is gonna start us off with one of the most infamous unsolved death from Los Angeles: Elisa Lam. There’s so many theories and conspiracies surrounding this case, but the real spooky factor is in the elevator video (IYKYK). Next is Sarah with the OG Candyman, Ronald Clark O’Bryan out of Texas. This is a story...

The episode where we talk about a fascinating quick smorgasbord for our commuter episode.

If you only have 30 minutes, this is the perfect story for you! www.thetipsyghost.com Find...

The episode where we discuss one of the most famous Halloween myths there is: Count Dracula. And like all greats, he’s gonna get a nickname. First we’ll go over the real life inspiration behind the creation of Drac, Vlad the Impaler. Or as we like to call him, Vlad the lad and Vlad the dad. We’ll then discuss the story of Dracula and how this shaped vampires in today’s culture. Enjoy this Hallowee...

The episode where we share our haunted investigation at Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita Kansas! This place is huge, and will take you back to the late 1800s in western Kansas. There was SO much to explore here, we catch some EVPs, and the dreaded human pendulum makes a return (and Lindsey is a fan this time, what?!). Lindsey channels her inner Zak and the Sarahs find a cat. Be sure to check out our...

The episode where we celebrate the beginning of spooky season by going over the history of Halloween. And this episode has everything you love mixed in: Lindsey’s southern accent, Sarah speaks German, and Boydston’s spelling errors. We also revisit Lindsey’s sheltered Halloween upbringing, and make a move for Boydston to join the Black Cat Society. So grab your favorite fall drink, and listen in a...

The episode where we discuss one of the most infamous female serial killers in the US: Aileen Wuornos. We talk about Aileen’s history, her victims, and her sentencing. We’ll try to have some fun with some seamen and a traveling sausage salesman and Salty Sally because jokes are how we deal with tragedy. We’re gonna throw up all the disclaimers for this episode as we talk about sexual abuse, rape,...

The episode where we talk all the things for a smorgasbord episode. Boydston starts us off with the Screaming Bridge in Arlington, TX - an urban legend that we learned about during our Dallas trip!

Next up is White Rock Lake in Dallas, where we try to find our very own WAP (wet ass person). Weirdly enough, the ghost did not want to get in our minivan, or maybe she just practiced stranger danger. Finally...

The episode where we discuss The Dating Game Killer, aka Rodney Alcala. Alcala killed several women across the US and is suspected of so many more, but his claim to fame is being a contestant on The Dating Game. Yet another example of how charming serial killers can be, and we revisit some good life advice: if someone asks you to model for them in the 1970s, just say no. We’re also gonna talk abou...

The episode where we discuss the pretty recent phenomenon of the Mandela Effect. We’re recording on location at the Lake of the Ozarks, and will give a brief description of the haunted history behind this lake. It involves an elusive hair fish and skeletons in the lake. But the real story here is the Mandela Effect, and we’re gonna cover it all: the false memories, the science behind it, the possi...

The episode where we discuss all things true crime…with a twist! None of us talk about murder this week and apparently the topic is obsessive, crazy love.

Next is Lindsey, and we’re going to Florida for Carl Tanzler and his obsession with Elena Milag...
