Ep.234 Edinburgh Manor 09.07.2026

Welcome back from our mini .. vacation? staycation? mentallyawaycation? Whatever it was we are back , and we're talking ghosts. As always, we've got some bold claims, but maybe Iowa is onto something this time. The evidence is shocking if true, so let's slueth together.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% off every order. Venomscent.com Use code ORSO28248 to g...

Ep.233 Myrtles Plantation 25.06.2026

We've had claims of the most haunted locations in cities, in states, and even in the country, but Louisiana is claiming to have one of the most haunted places in the world. And honestly, given it's past, we wouldn't blame it. Myrtles Plantation has seen some devastation in it's time, and it seems like those spirits are ready to share their stories.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use c...

Ep.232 Island Hotel 18.06.2026

This location has just what you're looking for on your next vacation: the sun, the waves, and the ghosts. The Island Hotel in Cedar Key has a rich history, but also a long history, which means it has seen wars, hardships, and other devastations. The deaths tied to this hotel are numerous, but not necessarily sound. Still, there may be some truth to the stories, otherwise how would we have these th...

Ep.231 Ashmore Estates the Sequel 12.06.2026

We weren't sure if we'd ever come back to this location, but as fate would have it, we finally made it happen. This has been a full circle moment two decades in the making, so it begs the question; was the wait worth it? Well, we don't want to spoil anything, but one of us may have almost walked out on their scariest encounter to date. So.. probably, yea. It was worth it.   Check out our affiliate...

Ep.230 Letchworth Village 04.06.2026

Well, we're back in New York in the unsuspecting hamlet of Thiells. Some may overlook a "city" of this size, but not us. One, because it's in our tagline, and two, well, it can't be that unsuspecting if Ghost Adventures has been here. And if it's good enough for Ghost Adventures then it's good enough for us. We've got some run of the mill asylum stuff happening here, but there may be something dar...

Ep.229 Cresson Sanitorium and Prison 28.05.2026

A lady of many talents, these grounds have seen it all. A TB facility, a prison, a hospital, some of them at the same time. They tried their best, but TB and violent poisoners are a nasty thing, so these buildings have still seen tens of thousands of deaths. So this may come as a shock, but.. she's haunted. How haunted, you ask? Let's find out.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code...

Ep.228 Middlegate Station Part 2 21.05.2026

Well, we didn't intend for a click bait moment on the last episode, but we are glad we came back for a part two of this location. The first cover of this location proved to be much more active than we initially assumed, and this continuation only ramps that up. This episode took us back to our roots with dramatized intros, multiple cuts, and chaos galore. But we got to the end, and we got there to...

Ep.227 Middlegate Station 14.05.2026

We've said it once, and we'll say it again. It is literally always the least suspecting places that come out swinging, and this small Nevada town is no different. Finding info on her was a challenge, but clearly the spirits like to speak for themselves here. We think that's enough click bait-y material, so just do yourself a favor and start listening already.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffe...

Ep.226 The Clayton House 07.05.2026

Another week, another episode, this time in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Did we accidently look up Kansas for a second because the internet has rotted our brain? Yes, but don't worry, we are in the Clayton House, and the ghosts are here, we can assure you. Some of them may just be a little more startling than others.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% off every orde...

Twin Tangent Ep.20 30.04.2026

Here it is, folks, a true tangent for the books. Lord knows we always have some asides throughout our episodes, so we decided to let loose, and see if those unscripted asides would give us a full episode. And to no ones surprise, we sure did it. So sit back and enjoy over an hour of us just seeing where the wind takes us, and then changing course anyway.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com...

Ep.225 Fort Knox 23.04.2026

You must be thinking "Wow, Fort Knox, I'm sure that's definitely THE Fort Knox", because any really smart person would think that, right? Cause we sure ... did. But don't worry, we got the spooky scoop for you on the correct Fort Knox in Maine, and we made sure to deliver. Hopefully, anyway. If you didn't know any better you'd think this was a tangent episode. But you're a little early for that, s...

Ep.224 The Devil's Tower 16.04.2026

We've talked about locations rich with history, but now we're covering a location that is just simply rich. This is such a beautiful affluent neighborhood, we almost forgot we were talking about ghosts, but don't you worry. Those are not in short supply here. This looming dark tower has an even darker history, and, when the rules are adhered to, possibly even darker outcomes.   Check out our affil...

Ep.223 Manteno Mental Hospital 09.04.2026

We're back hanging out with our neighbors to the west, Illinois. This could've been a day trip for us, and we would have loved to go, but for .. reasons, it couldn't be so. You'll have to listen to find out why (sorry for the mandatory click bait), but just know that after we heard about the experiences people had here, we really wish we could have.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use...

Ep.222 Thornewood castle 02.04.2026

We may be in the states, but this castle has traveled far across space AND time, standing for over five hundred years. Chester Thorne showed us with a little money, and a lot more money, you really can have it all, including a beautiful scenic castle in the rolling hills of Washington state. If you think after 500 years this castle hasn't seen some deaths, you'd be dead wrong. And it looks like th...

Ep.221 The Exchange Hotel Civil War Medical Museum 26.03.2026

She's a location of many .. MANY names, but it's not just for show. She's been through some stuff, and has actually stood as all of these things. Especially when we go back to it's history of housing and caring for both confederate and union soldiers. Any time war is involved you know there's gonna be some tragedy, and this is no exception, but does that mean that it's haunted?   Check out our aff...

Ep.220 The Drish House 19.03.2026

Oh, Alabama, what you do to us. Not that we didn't have any faith, but this was a surprisingly haunted location. I mean, that's just what we think. So give it a listen and see if you agree.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% off every order. Venomscent.com Use code ORSO28248 to get 10% off every order.

Ep.219 Montana Paranormal 12.03.2026

If you're looking for wide open spaces Montana might just be the place for you. But what they're lacking in their corporeal population they make up for in their paranormal/supernatural one. The whole of Montana is just so dang haunted we thought we'd cover the whole thing for you through the eyes of the locals.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% off every ord...

E.218 Al. Ringling Mansion 05.03.2026

No, you're not seeing things. We're really back, folks! Sometimes you just need to recognize when you need to take a break from something, and we sure did, but now we're back with a doozy. Apparently we made up for lost time with a longer episode today, but we don't think it'll disappoint. Welcome to Baraboo, Wisconsin.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% off...

Ep.217 The Bigelow Hotel and Residence 12.02.2026

Happy Thursday, and boy do we have a doozy for you today. Not necessarily in terms of the recording, but this location is wild. Like, we know some places have every right to be haunted, but this one might be in the top two as far as tragedies go. This hotel turned apartments really could not catch a break.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% off every order. V...

Ep.216 The Glore Psychiatric Hospital 05.02.2026

We're getting big Alton vibes from this location, but this week we find ourselves in St. Joseph, MO at one of the more interesting museums we've come across. Is this place haunted? Possibly, but set aside the ghosts, and is it still a creepy place? Absolutely. We're also thinking a little extra hard about what we're putting in our stomach because of this place.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycof...

Twin Tangent 19 29.01.2026

We've got a true tangent for you today. No reason, no rhyme, just some hootin and hollerin about our current shows/fixations/games/what have you. We always know when we're due to just ramble on about nothing, and this couldn't come soon enough, so sit back and enjoy our tangential spiral.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% off every order.

Ep.215 The Palmer House Hotel 22.01.2026

Well folks, we're almost to the end of January already, which is crazy, but let's go out on a high note. This Minnesota location surprised and delighted us. We honestly may consider the 10.5 hour drive, who knows? We've done crazier things. We've got brothels, we've got kid ghosts, and honestly that's all you really need.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% of...

Ep.214 Bodie Ghost Town 15.01.2026

Well, we're excited to cover another ghost town, because it has been a while since our last run in with these. We're extra excited to cover one in California to compound the mystery. Why you might ask? Because we get to ask ourselves, why is it haunted? Are there really spirits there? Is California even real? You know, the hard hitting questions.   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use cod...

Ep.213 La Lunas Mansion 08.01.2026

Luna-Otera, La Luna, The Luna. A mansion of many names, but still a mansion nonetheless (and if you heard Kelsey say it wrong in the intro, no you didn't). This location is surprisingly and thankfully lacking in tragic backstories. So where do the spirits come from? This may just be a case of energies left behind where they felt most at home, and they sure seem like they still feel at home.    Che...

Ep.212 Happy New Year 01.01.2026

Just a little light stuff to bring in the new year. But don't be fooled, this year is gonna be jam packed, so strap in, folks. Good luck in 2026 everyone, this year's for you!   Check out our affiliates: Javvycoffee.com Use code ORSO77605 to get 15% off every order.
