Or So They Say ...

Happy Thursday! And happy Thanksgiving to those of you celebrating today. Sticking with the theme of the holiday, which is obviously eating, we decided to go with another restaurant. It's surprising how many of these things are haunted, honestly. Although the idea was to keep the holiday episode light, we unfortunately encounter some pretty dark history, making for some pretty active ghosts. So wh...

This week we're visiting our neighbors to the north as we explore the Henderson Castle in Kalamazoo Michigan. Yes, the name is real, as may be the ghost stories coming out of this location. But in a nice change of pace, we'll be discussing some friendly and playful ghosts. They probably are harmless, but little kid ghosts, especially those hiding under your bed, still may not be our thing.   Donat...

Well, we're finally in Massachusetts, but despite the name, we did not take the low hanging fruit and head to Salem. This week we are actually in Quincy, MA on our first ghost ship! We gotta be honest, we're kind of glad we took the left turn because this was an interesting one. Who knew that a history of earthquakes, fires, wars, and numerous deaths aboard a ship would make us want to visit one....

We can't believe it's already November, but we suppose all good things must come to an end. This month we have another listener episode of sorts for you guys. We were able to visit some of our old stomping grounds with the next generation of ghost hunters, our niece Luna, and her friend Zoe! Tune in to hear us tell the story of their first ghost hunting adventure, and find out if we were able to s...

Another Thursday, another state. This time we are in Scotland, Maryland vicariously living through others' investigations at Point Lookout. As is typical on the east coast, there is a long history here, and it's a bit brutal given its main backdrop of the civil war. Lots of unsettled spirits here due to imprisonment, but we'll let the EVP's speak for themselves. These are pretty wild.    Donate mo...

We've made it to the east coast, and we don't know about you guys, but we love all of the history that comes along with that. This tavern has been around almost as long as we've been a country! So, no surprises here, there are plenty of spirits to be seen/heard/felt. Join us in Maine as we learn more about this significant historic property, where to buy the best LL Bean sweaters, and then join us...

New Orleans; one of America's most haunted cities. We've been skeptical of claims like this before, but this time we actually believe they might be on to something. The location where the LaLaurie Mansion once stood is rife with dark history. Although the original structure is no longer standing, the residual hauntings on the grounds are still experienced today. Listen, if you dare, to the atrocit...

You read that right, folks; after almost a year of waiting you've got yourself another listener episode! We traveled a little ways for this one, to a somewhat familiar location to interview none other than Stacie Dotson! We were very excited to be back in touch with her, and to travel south, once again, to The Willard Library in Evansville, IN. This was a memorable location for us, so we were glad...

It's spooky season again, and we've finally reached another 5th Thursday. Which means another twin tangent! We always look forward to every episode, but there's something extra special about those episodes where we allow the tangents to finally take over. We weren't sure how to pin down this tangents topic, but we think we've decided on "living nightmares: the things that scare us". This was prett...

Happy fall, y'all, finally! It seems we've had a good stretch of locations recently, and you'll be glad to know that Kentucky didn't disappoint either. This is actually our 4th time in Kentucky, but we haven't been able to visit this location (yet..). But after some of the stuff we cover today, it may have made it to the short list of places we should visit in the near future. So give it a listen,...

We're back again, and still out west, this time in the great state of Kansas. What does Kansas have, you ask? Well, we're not super sure, but we do know that it is home to some pretty old and pretty creepy houses, including the 133 year old Mcinteer Villa. It's got a little bit of everything; creaky floors and doors, shadow people, moving furniture and objects, scents, feelings, you name it it pro...

To no one's surprise, Iowa claims that they have "one of the world's most haunted schools", but what if they're actually telling the truth this time? We're not sure that we've had goosebumps like this over a location we haven't even visited yet. And if just talking about this stuff can make us uneasy, it makes you wonder how good/bad it would be to visit for ourselves? Maybe a future trip, but for...

Another day, another haunted cemetery, yet somehow they never get old. We made our way to Bloomington, Indiana to investigate some more haunted stories for you guys. Some of the usual suspects as far as findings and clams go, but this time we've got first hand experience dating as far back as the late 1800's; they even published the hauntings in the local paper! So, is it still haunted over a cent...

Well, we made it. It's been two years since we started this adventure, and we hope we can keep the spooky adventures going for at least a couple more! It also just so happens that our alphabetical trip through haunted America landed us right in our home state for the occasion. We made sure to cover a location we weren't sure if we'd ever be able to visit, and good and bad news is Gary Indiana has/...

Who could've guessed that we, once again, found the most haunted cemetery in the state, possibly the country, and maybe even the world? Honestly though, we've been around a few cemeteries by now, and this one has one of the most extensive and diverse list of hauntings we've seen yet. Not only that, but there's quite a bit of evidence to back up these claims, and we gotta be honest, some of it's a...

Betcha didn't know that Idaho has more than just potatoes in it, did ya? It's cool, we didn't really either, but turns out it's got plenty of ghost stories to go around. Over a century of hardships and families coming and going has left for a seemingly run of the mill haunted house on the Stricker Ranch. But what haunts the grounds of this ranch, if anything? Listen up to find out.   Donate monthl...

We're back again with another new month already. Which would usually mean a new visited location, but we've already been to this one before. As promised in last months episode, we have returned to Alton to cover the overwhelming amount of haunted goings-on in this city. We took a whole new tour, and got flooded with a new slew of information and haunted stories for you all. We even walked away wit...

As if it wasn't hot enough here in the Midwest, we've decided to make our way back down to sunny Hawaii for another spooky adventure, this time visiting the Hawaii Plantation Village. And if history has taught us anything, it would be that any sort of plantation in the early 20th century was probably not a pleasant place to be, and this one is no different. It's no wonder that locations like these...

We've covered a lot of different haunted locations, but we gotta say, we've definitely never come across a lake before. It was a nice change of scenery, although nice may not be the right word for it. Lakes are where you go to relax, but with a history like this one, we're not sure it would feel all that relaxing. Let's "dive in" to a little bit of dark hidden American history, and learn about the...

Today we're going about as far south in the US as you can, as we travel to Brooksville, Florida. Did we still manage to throw in some Florida man stories, of course. We're only human, but more importantly we discuss the hauntings of the May-Stringer house, which actually turns out to be pretty spooky, mostly because of the similar experiences we've had at other locations (check out the Merom Liver...

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled episode of Or So They Say! We're glad to be back on track, and we hope you're excited for another new traveled episode. This month, we think it's safe to say that we may have bitten off more than we could chew, which, in this case, was not a bad thing. We planned this trip for one location, and ended up with an entire haunted town. So strap in for our secon...

It feels like it's been forever, and it sort of has, but we're finally back with another twin tangent! Hopefully you're as excited as we are to have another one; we've kept a lot of tangents held back just for you all. This time we're just letting the conversation take us on a trip as we discuss media that's moved us. Media in all forms has been an integral part of our upbringing, and now you get...

Well, we thought we were done with it, but it looks like we're going back to school. This time a little further away from home. Let's be honest, Delaware sounds like a really nice state; historic, nice topography, lots of ghosts. You know, it comes with the whole "being the first state in the country" thing; you're gonna have some spooky history. And with a university that's been around for almost...

Episode *TW*: Brief discussion of abuse and SA. Let's take a long trip from the west coast in Colorado to the east coast in Connecticut (and of course we're driving, cause we're from the mid-west). This location may not ring a bell right away, but although it is in a "smaller" city it's been a bit sensationalized on paper, tv, and even the big screen. In A Dark Place, "A Haunting in Connecticut" a...

We made it, everyone. Episode 60! Thank you to all of you that have been following along since the beginning, jumped on sometime in the middle, or are just joining us for the first time. This week we chose a small town, but probably a more well known location, but honestly, how could you pass this one up? A lot of us know the Stanley Hotel, and how it rose to fame, but do you know why it's haunted...
