We are so grateful to have had the chance to sit down with the creative genius that is Jane McLaughlin of Haunted History Productions. No one spins a ghost story quite like she does, so definitely check her out and give her a follow for upcoming events!

In this episode, Sam and MK are talking about one of Salem's haunted sites: The Hawthorne Hotel! The Hotel is said to have been built on the site of an orchard belonging one of Salem's most famous residents, but was it a Halloween seance that opened a portal to the otherside? Or maybe a series of mysterious fires? We'll let you decide, but there's no denying the presence of spirits at this hotel

It's the first part of our very first mini-series!

Before we dive into all the haunts of Salem, MA, it's only fair to talk about the tragic events that left so many distressed souls: The Salem Witch Trials. Sure, everyone's heard of them, but do you really know the true story behind the deadliest witch hunt in American history?

We're keeping it local this time around with a haunt from our neck of the woods!

Eastern State Penitentiary was once the cream of the crop when it came to prisoner reform in the US. As time went on however, it began to slip from its original beliefs and devolved into some questionable practices. ESP was home to thousands of prisoners and was the site of quite a few escape attempts, which begs the question: are there still spirits here looking to break out of their cell blocks?

The Conjuring House was just the beginning of Ed and Lorraine's cases, and now, Sam and MK are exploring the occult museum they curated while alive. The museum is attached to the Warren's old house and houses some seriously creepy (and haunted!) items.

Perhaps the most famous artifact here is a doll so haunted she inspired 3 different movies within the Conjuring cinematic universe...

Did you know that The Conjuring, considered by some to be the scariest movie ever made, was based on real events? The violent haunting of the Old Arnold Estate and the Perron Family is sure to keep you up at night, and get you in the Halloween spirit! Check out the real-life case before you watch the movie here!

Time for our theater geeks to step into the spotlight, 'cuz we're headed into the Theater District and down the Great White Way: Broadway! Join MK and Sam as they discuss their favorite Broadway shows and the number of divas that still haunt these iconic theaters.

The happiest place on Earth may also be one of the spookiest…

IT'S PART TWO PEOPLE!

Let's get down to the reason Westfield, NJ has such a creepy feel despite an A+ Safety rating and virtually no crime. In 1971, the town's most notorious resident, John List murdered his mother, his wife, and their three young children in their Westfield Mansion, Breeze Knoll and disappeared from the face of the earth for 18 years. This man was so evil, his hold over Westfield is still apparent over 50 years later.

WARNING: this case is ROUGH

IT'S OUR FIRST TWO PART EPISODE! We're headed back to New Jersey, because the weird goings-on in Westfield, NJ deserve more than just one episode. In part one, MK and Sam cover the case of the Watcher House, in which a young family was threatened and tormented by a stalker, who identified themselves as "The Watcher". Was this a jealous neighbor? Or maybe someone possessed by the evil spirit of another resident of the town? *Prior events* have definitely left a weird energy lingering over Westfield, but that's a discussion for Part Two...
