Episodes

Ep.104 The Providence Biltmore 18.05.2023

Well, we found out there are a number of haunted Biltmore Hotels across the country that we could've chosen from, but we're in Rhode Island today, so we picked the Biltmore in ... you guessed it. Providence, Rhode Island. And who would've thought that you could pack so much spooky into one little state? This hotel has just passed it's hundred year mark, and in that time it's created quite a reputa...

Ep.103 Jean Bonnet Tavern 11.05.2023

Good Old Pennsylvania; we expected to find a slew of stories with one of the country's first states, and of course we found them at none other than a tavern. We've gone to a couple of these in the past, so we're ready to hear what the Jean Bonnet has to offer. Is it spooky? Maybe. Are the ghosts? Definitely. But what we can say for certain is, it's no Hacienda.    Donate monthly here:  https://www...

Ep.102 The Bell Mansion 04.05.2023

We've made another trip in state, this time to Fort Wayne, IN. Truthfully, I don't think either of us had been before, but we gotta say: those Victorian houses? Ten out of ten. The food? Ten out of ten. The paranormal experiences during a public haunted tour in the middle of the day during a metaphysical fair? Listen to find out; our answer may shock you!! (Ok, we hate click bait stuff too). But s...

Ep.101 Canon Beach/The Bandage Man 27.04.2023

Something about a good old-fashioned urban legend just really gets you going, right? Like that's definitely normal, right? Well it is here, and we've found just the story for you. We're taking it back to the stories that started it all, local urban legends. This one is definitely giving "I Know What You Did Last Summer" vibes, but the important thing is, is he still haunting the beach today? Tune...

Ep.100 A Walk Down Spooky Lane 25.04.2023

We've finally made it. After lots of ups, downs, tears, scares, ghosts, you name it we have finally reached our 100th episode! We couldn't have made it this far without all of your support in whatever capacity you have provided. So we hope you enjoy as we take a look back at some of our funniest, scariest, or inexplicable moments. Let's hope we have just as many memorable moments on the next hundr...

Ep.99 Fort Washita 13.04.2023

It's been a little while, but we are back on the alphabet train through the United States and their spooky stories, this time stopping in Oklahoma. Fort Washita's location has housed the Native Americans, the union, the confederacy, trappers, traders, you name it, they were there. Problem was they all thought it was their land, so you can believe this caused for some confusion and frustration. Whi...

Ep.98 Memphis, TN 06.04.2023

It's a first Thursday which means we have a visited location for you! This time though, we were scattered to the winds as Meghan took a trip down south without Kelsey (jerk), but that's okay, because she found out that apparently Memphis is a hot bed of haunted locations. On one bus tour alone she was able to visit four different haunted locations, and may have had some paranormal encounters along...

Twin Tangent 7 30.03.2023

We've just been itchin for another tangent, and it's finally here! This time we're going off about scandalous events. Some very much in the public eye, and some quietly swept under the rug. Both cases frustrating in their own way, but do both cases resolve? We don't want to spoil it, but judging by the length of the tangent there's obviously no shortage of passion here. But man it felt good to get...

Ep.97 Ohio State Reformatory 23.03.2023

We're back in the Midwest, and doesn't it feel good? Doesn't it?.. Well, this building started with good enough intentions as a reform school for boys, but thanks to good old capitalism that was all changed, and things quickly fell apart. This one has some pretty dark stories, as most penitentiary's do, but is this one truly haunted? I don't want to spoil it, but you'll be hard pressed to find us...

Ep.96 Harvey Public Library 16.03.2023

Another week, another state, another city. This time a small midwestern one, which we can relate, but this is, you know, a fraction of the size. This city of less than 2000 has had a pretty quiet recent history, but the past is a different story. This haunting was brought to you by an actual murder most foul. With little understanding of why, and thanks to lost documents, almost no proof why, we l...

Ep.95 Seven Hearths House 09.03.2023

We should've saved the 14 hands wine for this episode, because this house has seen A LOT of people in its nearly 300 years of existing. It served a lot of purposes as housing for school girls, housing for families, even as a distillery in its infancy. Like any good haunted location this house has seen it's fair share of deaths, but one in particular is said to be seen most often, but the identity...

Ep.94 Fowler Theater/Benton County Courthouse 02.03.2023

Alright, so we know we've made promises in the past, and we may not have always followed through, but this time we made sure not to let you down. We made it back to Fowler Indiana for a 3 hour private investigation! We had to shake off the dust a little bit, but we're back, and ready to give you the spooky content you deserve. That is, if the hauntings live up to the hype.   Donate monthly here: ...

Ep.93 The Winery at Marjim Manor 23.02.2023

We've made it to New York! And to the big apple's lesser known sister city, Appleton.. which isn't even technically a city. This little hamlet of less than 2000 people still has some ghost stories for us in the form of a manor that has existed for almost 200 years. There have been a lot of families that have come and gone through these doors, although some of the members never got a chance to leav...

Ep.92 Doña Ana Courthouse 16.02.2023

Well, we've traveled west to the great American state of New Mexico. What's in New Mexico you may ask? And we would answer "that's a great question!" What we do know for sure is, like most states before it, there is no shortage of hauntings and spirits. Our travels have brought us to a courthouse, which we've never really done before, but it also housed the county jail, and you know we love a good...

Ep.91 Shades of Jenny Lake in Hope 09.02.2023

**SFX/Trigger Warnings** - For those familiar with the sound of a spiritbox, know that we play a small section of evidence from one towards the end of the episode. Also, talks of grooming and se***l predators happen around the middle. Thanks, Leo 👍   Well, that's a heck of a title, isn't it? If it doesn't make sense, that's alright. Because we are covering not one, not two, but three locations to...

Ep.90 Benton County Jail/Fowler Theater 02.02.2023

It's the first Thursday of the month which means *drum roll* we have one of our own investigations! There is a slight asterisk to this episode though .. which is we haven't actually gone yet. Due to planning issues we weren't able to book the location in time for this episode, but that just means will be hitting you with a part 2 which will (hopefully) be full of a ton of paranormal experiences! B...

Ep.89 The Isle of Shoals 26.01.2023

During the colder months, most people would love to travel to an island for a little getaway. Except these islands are in New Hampshire .. so they're still cold right now. Oh well, an island is an island, and a haunted island is right up our alley. Although there are no real residents here anymore, there is a very long history here with settlers arriving as early as the 17th century. And we know w...

Ep.88 The Mackay Mansion 19.01.2023

Another week, another haunting; this week in Virginia City, Nevada. "Why is it called Virginia city" you may ask? Well .. we don't know, and that's not why we're here anyway. We're here to vicariously investigate the Mackay Mansion and its nearly two centuries of stories. For a city with a population of less than a thousand, they sure have found themselves a location that has been recognized by so...

Ep.87 Museum of Shadows 12.01.2023

Well, this week we're out in Omaha Nebraska, and we decided to try something a little different. Instead of the grounds or the building being haunted, people are bringing their haunted items to this location. A husband and wife duo have taken it upon themselves to combine their love for the paranormal and fascination with collecting haunted items and open this museum. There may not be ghost childr...

Ep.86 A Year In Review 05.01.2023

Ope, well we're starting the new year off a little delayed, but we thought we'd take a look back at our past years' (and then some) adventures. Come down memory lane with us as we highlight some of our favorite moments, scariest locations, and unfortunately some of the duds, because aren't there always duds? We're excited to see where 2023 takes us, and hopefully we'll have even more new and excit...

Twin Tangent 7: New Years Eve Traditions 29.12.2022

This is it, the last episode of 2022! And if you ask us, it probably could have come a little sooner. We're ending the year talking NYE traditions all around the world; we're even covering a little bit of our own traditions. There were some nice ideas we think we'll take with us into the new year, and some we may just have to pass. But thank you for joining us for 2022, and we can't wait to see wh...

Ep.85 Montana State Penitentiary 22.12.2022

Happy Thursday, and (for those that celebrate) happy almost Christmas! What could put you in the holiday spirit more than hearing about galloping gallows, prison riots, and a possible ghost clown? We don't know either. So cozy up during the impending winter storm, and listen to your favorite twins cover the tiny city of Deer Lodge, its only prison, and all of the ghosts that come along with it.  ...

Ep.84 Lemp Mansion and Brewery 15.12.2022

Alright, so it's not exactly "small town" America, but we couldn't pass up this St. Louis destination that regularly makes America's most haunted houses lists, could we? This location is unfortunately riddled with family tragedy, enough so that we actually want to give a trigger warning to all of you about the content heavily covered in this episode, suicide. These spirits are still around today,...

Ep.83 McRaven House 12.12.2022

What a surprise indeed; who would've thought we would have found ourselves here on a Monday? Definitely not us, but now that Kelsey is done being sick (again) we decided to play a little game of catch up in Mississippi. A silly little stroll turns deadly, heartbreak after what supposed to the happiest moment of a parents life, loss of life way too soon, oh and a war. This house has seen it all, so...

Ep.82 The 12 Stats of Christmas 01.12.2022

This year has been a weird one. Halloween didn't feel very spooky, Thanksgiving came and went like that, and now here we are, December 1st. To try to lift the holiday spirit (and also since we were sick and couldn't travel anywhere this month) we've decided to bring you guys the first festive episode of the month. We'll be covering some of the burning holiday questions you've never even thought to...
