The Tipsy Ghost

The episode where Sarah brings us some true crime with famous last words that inspired a documentary and horror movie. Johnny Frank Garrett was convicted of a brutal murder when he was only 17, but was he really guilty? We will give out trigger warnings for this story, and it is a tragic one where everybody loses. To lighten things up, Sarah is also going to tell us exactly how long we’ll survive...

The episode where Boydston brings us one of her favorite types of stories: medical practices in the 1800s! This is the story of how washing your hands became standard medical practice, and honestly, how recent this happened is gross. Meet Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician who realized clean hands reduced infections. Amazing…but also we have come SO far in medicine. Get 45% off the Magic Mind...

The episode where Linda brings us the spookiest cave in the world. Well, maybe, but it is definitely the longest known cave system in the world. This is Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky with over 200 miles mapped out, a blind albino fish, and several mummies! Not to mention creepily named paths, old Tuberculosis cabins, and spirits in our favorite period style clothing. We may also have come...

You voted and this episode won! 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...

The episode where we share our investigation in New Orleans, LA…or as close as to an investigation as we could find there! Destrehan Plantation has a lot of history tied to it, and we’ll be real, most of it is not great. You’ll hear us completely mispronounce all the French names. We have decided this is the one language we completely fail at. We also discuss allllll the food we ate, what we liked...

The episode where Boydston brings us a ghost story or possible lore from NOLA. This is the story of the Sultan’s Palace in New Orleans, LA. First, we’re gonna play some fun games to learn more about our personalities. Listen, these are necessary facts we need to learn about ourselves. Okay, but back to the Sultan’s Palace - this house involves a Turkish prince, opium, a river running red, and some...

The episode where Sarah brings us some paranormal from our recent trip to New Orleans, LA. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, this story may sound familiar, but I promise you’ll want to hear it again. This is the story of the LaLaurie Mansion. It just sold, so we narrowly missed our chance to buy it (darn), and the history behind the house is graphic and disturbing, so trigger warning. We’...

The episode where Lindsey brings us part two of the Conscious Development cult. Make sure you listen to last week’s episode for part 1, otherwise you will be super confused. When we left off, the deaths around Hoffman were starting to stack up. We’re gonna meet invisible CIA agents, matchmaking, fake illnesses, Jan Levinson’s cousin (not really), drinking blood, and…more deaths. Haven't tried Magi...

The episode where Lindsey brings us some true crime but surprise! It’s a two parter and involves a cult, so make sure you tune in next week for the conclusion. This is also the episode where the Sarahs converts every C to S, so really this is the cult of Conscious Development…or the sult of Sonscious Development. Try to keep up here. This lesser known cult has it all: bloodletting, suspicious will...

The episode where we share our repeat investigation (repeatstigation if you will) of Mineral Springs Hotel in Alton, IL. It’s been about two years since we last visited, so it was time. And good thing too, as the hotel is now under new ownership and this may have been the last investigation! Listen to episode 130 for our first experience and the history of the hotel. This time around we have a pol...

The episode where Sarah brings us a smorgasbord of a pretty BA woman in history: Nellie Bly. You probably know her story even if you don’t know her name. She was incredibly progressive for the late 1800s and as a journalist, exposed the injustices facing women. Basically, we love Nellie, with her sophisticated extra E and all. www.thetipsyghost.com Find us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTo...

The episode where Boydston brings us a cryptid from Australia, the Yara-Ma-Yha-Who. That is the real name, no lies. Yara is going to join our favorite friends from Down Under, Drop Bear and Bill the Australian Yeti. You let us know who you would rather encounter. Yara is a cute little guy but he’s also pretty gross and Lindsey and Sarah have SO many questions. Could you outrun Yara? Are you faster...

The episode where we did a haunted investigation at the Eldridge Hotel in Lawrence, KS! The Eldridge has a long history of hauntings and is in in the heart of downtown Lawrence. Turns out, Lawrence was pretty important when it comes to the civil war. Lawrence is near and dear to our hearts for different reasons, but this time we got to experience it together! We tried to relive our college glory d...

Originally posted 1/9/2021, now edited for improvements. The episode where Big Abe comes back to haunt us…just in time for our paranormal episode. Lindsey takes us to Mexico for the history or the famous Island of Dolls. This place is the creepiest of the creepy. Next up is Sarah with the Mississippi House from the documentary, The House In Between. Both of the Sarah's can spell Mississippi really...

The episode where Sarah brings us some Germany true crime, and we really aren’t making this up: it’s the Vampire of Düsseldorf. Peter Kürten was the worst of the worst, so trigger warnings for this story, guys. He caused a lot of mayhem and said some pretty gross things once he was captured. Again, sorry, but he really sucks. www.thetipsyghost.com TikTok @thetipsyghost. Email us your stories at th...

The episode where Boydston brings us another wonderful WTF History story: Project X-Ray. Never heard of it? Good, neither had we. This was back in WWII times when ethics weren’t really a thing. And one guy, Adams, hated bats, so he pitched an idea to the government to drop bat bombs against Japan after Pearl Harbor. We’re not kidding, people actually considered dropping exploding bats on Japan bef...

The episode where we kick off Spooky Season! Lindsey is going to share some paranormal stories from the hospital, because if any place is gonna be haunted, it’s a hospital. These stories from Reddit are sure to make you want to investigate a hospital, and we’ll share our experiences and superstitions too. We’ll also share our newest documentary obsession…and it’s crazy. www.thetipsyghost.com Find...

The episode where we share our spookiest investigation to date! This is the Whiteface House in Yates Center, KS. And you guys, we aren’t lying when we say this is our highest rated investigation yet. Poltergeist activity, hammers being thrown, spooky dolls yeeting themselves at us, and an almost 911 call. True to form, the spirits are over us and our singing…something about ghost hunts just puts u...

The episode where Boydston brings us some true crime of our new favorite bear…Cocaine Bear! She’s kind of an expert on bears now, FYI. Listen, you may know of Cocaine Bear because of the cinematic genius of a movie, but do you REALLY know the story? Because it involves a lot of cocaine…like…A LOT, a bear that can marry you in Kentucky, and lots of animal zoomies. The true story is kind of sad, but...

The episode where Lindsey brings us a smorgasbord from England (because she totally went to London too). We’re going to July 1980 to attend the Forest League of Juvenile Jazz Bands…we have our instruments, we’re ready to go…then people start fainting. The Hollinwell Incident was a mass fainting spell, but nobody knows what happened. Mass hysteria? Chemical cloud? Massive food poisoning? Government...

The episode where Sarah shares some haunted stories from our recent trip across the pond…and by our, I mean all 3 of us were totally there. Lindsey just may have some amnesia related to this trip, nbd. While in London, the Sarahs of course went on a haunted tour which included 50 Berkeley Square. One of the spirits appears as a brown mist, so…sharts, obviously. We’re sorry in advance, London. www....

The episode where we bone home…jk. But we do go to an investigation close to home as we hit up the Masonic Lodge in Independence, MO! Listen, we may know a Mason and be free, but we are not Free Masons, and women were not allowed in these lodges when they were initially constructed. So all that adds up to us antagonizing some male spirits, talking about the Truman Stroll Trail, and spirits taking...

The episode where Lindsey tells us some true crime, some fun facts, and we learn something nobody should ever know about. But first, this is the story of Matthew Milat, great nephew to Ivan Milat who you may remember from one of Sarah’s true crimes. Murder appears to run in this family, so we make a return trip to Australia with our favorite Australian Yeti. And Sarah introduces us to…the merkin....

The episode where Sarah shares some folklore and cryptids from her trip to Germany on The Rhine River! We request she only cover German stories from here on, because this is fascinating stuff. First, she reveals the lore behind Lorelei Rock, and then we take a quick trip over to the Black Forest to discuss a new cryptid friend and Hell Valley (cousin to Death Valley). We love you, Germany, and all...

The episode where Boydston brings us a paranormal story, but first we need to talk about Sarah’s dog, Boobs. You don’t need to tell us what we already know: this is the best dog name ever. Boydston is going to tell us a story about a legally haunted house, the Ackley House in New York. If you’re wondering what makes a haunted house legal vs illegal, fear not for you are in good company. We’ll lear...
