S4 E2 Marimont Castle 14.01.2025

Surprise! We are back after a lot of delay with episode two of this season. The world is a mess and so are we, but this week we bring you a 'castle' in Colorado. Instead of princes, kings, and happily ever afters we have headless nuns, children ghosts, and cursed paintings. A lot is going on at the castle but is it all just the minerals making us see things or does it have legit origins? We'd appr...

We're ringing in the New Year with a new season! For our first episode, we are heading to Indiana to visit the legendary (in the paranormal world) Willow's Weep house.

Halloween Special: Edgar Allan Poe 31.10.2024

We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podc...

S3 E9 Hotel Colorado 27.08.2024

All together now! "Welcome to the Hotel Colorado- such a lovely place". And it is a lovely place!

S3 E4 Bennington Triangle 23.07.2024

Bennington Triangle is more than a trifecta- Bigfoot, UFO's, plane crashes, disappearances, murders, and man eating rocks?

S3 E2 The Bird Cage Theater 09.07.2024

This one is for the fans of Robin Williams and Nathan Lane! Sort of. We are in Arizona talking about the Bird Cage Theater. A haunted saloon type establishment.

Hey, we're the worst, sorry! But hopefully you'll like this episode, it's about a social club in Nevada and was suggested by listener Adam.

PLEASE REMEMBER KRISTEN EDITED THIS EPISOD...

107. Utica State Hospital 12.03.2024

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT KRISTEN HAD TO EDIT THIS EPISODE SO FORGIVE HER. New York is the place to be if you want sad mental institutions with haunted halls. Utica is no exception. With its history of patient deaths, living conditions, and a horrific crib, it’s no wonder this place is said to be brimming with spirits. But is it really haunted by ghosts or just the awful memories of the sick?  We'd a...
