Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. This week, is opening week and we're looking at ghosts! We're 3 days in, and looking at haunted places from around the world! Today, we're off to Rhode Island to visit a house made famous in 2013, the Conjuring House. The Perron family lived there for 11 years and were visited several times by Ed and Lorraine Warren. They believed they were being haunted by the spirit of a woman named Bathsheba Sherman. What happened to the Perron family? What does the movie get wrong? Is there a hoax involved here? Listen in to hear all the theories!
