This week’s listener mail is about a haunted house with  a haunted doorbell. Have a spooky story or question of your own (or someone you know)? Send your story or question to [email protected] and we might read it on the podcast. You could be on a future episode of Ghostly!

Pat explores the history of the house and it’s residents. Mark Twain lived here for 1 year and had his own paranormal experience with a piece of firewood. He also talks about a tragic crime that happened here in the 80’s, resulting in the death of a child.

Pat and Rebecca debate the paranormal evidence including a woman in white, the haunted firewood, the ghost of Mark Twain himself, and a grape with a very bad odor.
