The Tipsy Ghost

The episode where Sarah finally brings us a true crime story that has been a long time coming…Operation Midnight Climax. This is a two parter, and chaos will ensue as we explain our jokes all throughout the episode, because apparently there is only one braincell to be shared amongst us. Operation Midnight Climax was a government experiment that involved drugging people, and studying the effects…al...

The episode where Boydston shares a smorgasbord story of the Cadaver Synod from 897 AD. If you have no idea what that means, don’t worry, Boydston will give us a vocab lesson. Basically, the new Pope decided to dig up a deceased Pope from his grave, put him on trial, and sentenced him…all while he was already dead. Petty? Probably. But this is definitely one trial you’ve probably never heard of, b...

The episode where Lindsey brings us a paranormal story about the Strater Hotel in Durango, Colorado. Built in 1887 amidst the San Juan mountains, the hotel is known for its haunted history surrounding the mining town. We’re also going to revisit some period clothing (our favorite), fun facts you wish you didn’t know, and the Sarahs misunderstanding Lindsey. Come say hi on our socials!  Facebook- T...

The episode where Boydston shares a fun little history story about the Glass King. True story, King Charles VI of France (think 1400s time) was known as “The Beloved” but the began to believe he was made of glass and well, things took a turn. There’s an evil uncle involved (Scar, is that you?), zero bubble wrap to protect the Glass King, and of course, a woman comes to the rescue. You may know of...

The episode where Boydston tells us a true crime with a classic whodunnit story. Meet William and Julia Wallace (or Chester and Chestina, thank you Sarah). England, 1931, William gets a call to play chess but things don’t go as he thought. The less said about this case the better, but it’s all about vibes when it comes to the trial. Lindsey and Sarah also are determined to snuggle wolves, and Boyd...

The episode where Lindsey brings us a smorgasbord about the infamous sleep deprivation study. Three teenagers decided to break the world record for sleep deprivation in 1964, and we ended up learning a lot about the effects of sleep on our cognitive and motor functioning. We’re gonna talk about some space fun facts, micro sleeping, and share our own experiences with sleep deprivation (spoiler: Lin...

The episode where we share our recent stay/investigation at The Sheraton KC Hotel at Crown Center. If you don’t know your KC history, we’re about to teach you some! And don’t feel bad, Lindsey doesn’t know her own KC history, but she’ll tell us about the 1981 engineering disaster. It’s some Final Destination type of stuff. We’ll share our ideas for our next tea party, talk about Sir and Mis Conduc...

The episode where Sarah shares a favorite smorgasbord topic: it’s government conspiracy time, ya’ll. That’s right, take your anxiety meds because Unit 731 is going to make you both sad and anxious. Picture it: WW2, Japanese scientists, human experimentation, a complete disregard for ethics, and a pardon from the US all to get hands on the research. Lindsey is sad, Boydston’s word play is on point...

The episode where Lindsey shares an unsolved true crime (yay!) and we find our enneagram kitchen utensils. We needed to know. This is the story of the Jamison family who disappeared in Oklahoma in 2009. They left behind some weird video footage, their dog (he’s okay, don’t worry), and a LOT of money…and to this day we don’t know what happened to them. The Sarahs truly love a good unsolved mystery,...

The episode where Boydston shares the mysterious Kelly Hopkinsville encounter. That’s right guys, it’s a goblin story! Okay, really, it’s an alien story, but to us, they are shiny goblinos. Setting the stage: Kentucky, August 1955. Mysterious beings descend upon a family and it’s a Matrix style battle. Some believe it was owls, but bird expert Boydston is here to disprove this theory. Meteors? Hoa...

The episode where we share our recent (kind of) investigation of the Savoy Hotel here in KC. The Savoy is long rumored to be haunted in the heart of KC, so we of course decided to have a sleepover to celebrate our Christmas get together! You’ll hear all about our sleepover, music video, and the ghosts that are said to inhabit this old hotel. And we’re sorry…but we may have paralyzed a character ag...

The episode where Sarah brings us some true crime with the story of Kim Jong Nom’s murder. You may have heard of this, but it’s terrifying the way it was carried out. Perfect recipe for anxiety, honestly. But first we’ll review our Spotify wrapped (spoiler alert, it’s all Taylor). Come say hi on our socials!  Facebook- The Tipsy Ghost Instagram- @thetipsyghostpodcast TikTok @thetipsyghost_pod Emai...

The episode where Boydston tells us a smorgasbord story about the Dublin Whiskey Fire of 1875. What is a whiskey fire? Glad you asked. This is one of those history lessons that sounds unbelievable but 100% happened - a river of lava whiskey. This episode is filled with mispronounced words, condescension, and…poop. Yes, fun facts about horses…they poop a lot. You’re welcome for the new fact! Come s...

The episode where we share our recent return to Pythian Castle in Springfield, MO. It’s been five years, but we’re back. The place where Lindsey notoriously fell, we encounter another fall (not Lindsey), the Sarahs are heroes, and Boydston makes a new friend (who is bear-y cute). We think the spirits remember us, or maybe our accents just really impressed them. We are who we are. Come say hi on ou...

The episode where Boydston shares some true crime with us that is one of her favorite stories to cover: a good old fashioned scam. Meet Count Victor Lustig who sold the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal…twice. Except, we’re pretty sure the Eiffel Tower is still famous and standing, so obviously he didn’t ACTUALLY sell it. We’ll talk about con artists, the psychology behind the art of the scam, and how...

The episode where Lindsey brings us a smorgasbord about a notorious serial killer…who also just happens to be a crocodile. This is Gustave, also known as the killer croc, who has obtained mythological status in parts of Africa. He is a BIG croc, and thought to be responsible for many human deaths over the years - some think as low as 60, others estimate it’s in the hundreds. It’s a fascinating sto...

The episode where Sarah covers the haunted story of the SS Ourang Medan, a ghost ship and urban legend from the 1940s. Legend has it that the ship was found dead in the water after a distress signal was sent out from the straits of Malacca…and when hep arrived, everyone on board was dead. Aliens? Government coverup? Haunted artifacts (LAUREN! We told her to get off the ship, promise)? What are you...

The episode where we share our recent investigation at the Leavenworth Masonic Lodge in Leavenworth, KS. We love secret societies and taking pictures with random statues in small towns. We know we’re cool. We encounter a dead bell (super cool), a creepy staircase, and secretive hazing initiations that we still have so many questions about. And who can forget our new goat friend, Billy Stan?! Shena...

The episode where Lindsey shares some true crime in the form of the most famous case of folie à deux - shared psychosis. This is the story of the Eriksson twins, two Swedish sisters who experienced a psychotic episode in 2008 in the UK. This case is widely talked about and you can even find footage of the traffic incident on YouTube. But what most people don’t know, is that there was a tragic vict...

The episode where Sarah brings us a smorgasbord and chemistry lesson all in one story. This is the story of Gloria Ramirez, aka the Toxic Lady. She is brought to an emergency department in 1994 in Riverside, California. What happened next is…bizarre. She presented with bizarre symptoms and things took a turn for the worst. Really, the less said, the better here. But don’t worry, Sarah is going to...

The episode where Sarah brings us a story about one of her recent fascinations: spooky lakes. More specifically, the story of Lake Baikal, the world’s oldest, largest, and deepest freshwater lake in Siberia. You know we love creepy deep water. We’ve got fish that melt in your hands (literally, not even joking), the Devil’s funnel, sirens or mermaids, and just all around bad vibes. No thanks, this...

The episode where Boydston shares the story of the creepiest hotel in the US - the Clown Motel in Tonopah , Nevada. Nicknamed “America’s scariest motel”, the place is filled with over 6,500 collectible clown items, and next door to a cemetery. Are you brave enough to stay a night surrounded by nightmare fuel? We’re also gonna find out our clown names and guys….you’re welcome. That is a gift. Come...

The episode where we share our recent investigation of the Ray County Museum in Richmond, MO. This museum used to operate as a Poor Farm in the early 1900s and is now filled with artifacts that have brought residual energy to the uniquely designed building. Here we break out some cat balls, rave music, TS bridges, and deep voices to talk with the spirits. We managed to get a couple of EVPs despite...
