Does Fort Dearborn haunt Chicago? In this episode Pat and Rebecca are joined by fan-favorite Mondo – be sure to stick around until the end for his latest Ghostly song. They explore the history and hauntings of Fort Dearborn and the Battle of Fort Dearborn. Once located in the heart of what would become Chicago, the story of the fort is the story of the city. It’s also the story of its first ghosts. Or is it?  Listen and vote!

When did white settlers first show up in the Chicago area? Why was Fort Dearborn built? Who were the major players of the beginning of Chicago and of the fort? Why did the settlers abandon the area and what caused the Potawatomi tribe to attack? What happened to the fort after the attack? How many forts were there? What ghosts haunt the site of the massacre? Are there ghosts at the main site? What ghosts haunt downtown that are associated with the fort?

Pat explores the history of the prison. Born from the split of West Virginia from Virginia, the penitentiary used prisoners to build the cells. Over the years, many prisoners were executed here. First by hanging, then by “Old Sparky,” the electric chair. It closed after the courts ruled its cell cruel and unusual.

Pat and Rebecca debate if the prison is haunted. The Sugar Shack is considered one of the most haunted areas of the prison along with the cell block including the infamous William “Red” Snyder. Evidence includes a spooky photo and many reports over the years. Is it haunted?

Happy New Year! The Mayfields are back to tell Ghostly and our listeners what will happen in 2023! Jacob and Shane Mayfield take us through three methods of divination to help us see the future. As always, these predictions can be done at home. We also look back and see how we did with our 2022 predictions. Listen and learn what will be!

We start with using a pendulum to divine answers about the future. Jacob walks Rebecca (and you, the listener) on what can be used as a pendulum, how to calibrate it, and how to conduct a reading for yourself.

Jacob sets up our incense and Shane divines the shapes made by the smoke. Both turn these a prediction for 2023 for Ghostly.

Time for Jacob to read the Tarot cards for Rebecca, Pat, and Ghostly.

What is in store for all of us in 2023?
