In the chilling conclusion to this two-part Tales, Trails, and Taverns special, Joe welcomes paranormal investigator and urban explorer Heather Lopez to discuss what unfolded during the investigation of his family’s 150-year-old Cape Cod homestead.
Heather shares her firsthand experiences inside the Baker house — the heavy, watchful energy that filled each room, and the unmistakable presence of Nellie Baker and other spirits who still linger within its walls.
With a deep respect for the home’s history, she recounts what she believes these spirits were trying to communicate — messages of loss, longing, and a desperate need to be remembered. Listeners will also get an inside look at the tools of the trade, as Heather explains the ghost-hunting equipment she used — from EMF detectors to spirit boxes and REM pods — and how each helped piece together the haunting puzzle of the Baker Homestead. Together, Joe and Heather explore what comes next in their search for Nellie Baker’s missing trunk, a long-lost family relic tied to the home’s most active spirit.
Could uncovering it finally bring peace to Nellie — and to the house itself? Step back inside the Baker Homestead, where history, heartbreak, and the paranormal intertwine — and where the story of Nellie Baker may finally be ready to reveal its final secret.
