  • 69. Dorothea Puente Boarding House

    We are still in California this week. Too many killers and ghosts hanging around the West Coast to just leave without talking about Dorothea Puente and her infamous house of horrors. She was a sweet old looking lady with a sinister side. Now, there are rumors that her former home is haunted by not only victims, but Dorothea herself. Is it true? Or is the House Innocent? There are conflicting opinions and one quirky documentary we discuss to get to an answer!

  • 68. Los Feliz Murder Mansion

    Back to the West Coast for a mysterious house that was the site of a murder suicide. Rumor has it the Doctor and his victim are still trapped inside, with all the other things untouched from the 60s. It is rather peculiar someone has bought, but hasn't lived, in the house since the crime isn't it? We certainly think so and have some theories!

Definitely an episode with twists and turns all the way through!

Someone who is often talked about as also haunting Beverly Hills. So, how are Jean and Sharon connected? Are they really hanging out in ther afterlife near Benedict Canyon? Listen to find out!

  • 64. White Sanitarium

    We are back at it this week in Texas with another haunted hospital! White Sanitarium has a long rumored history of ghosts and trapped spirits of former patients. We did find some interesting things on Newspapers this time!  But is it just local lore or is there something to the supposed phantom cigarette buds?

    We are on a witch kick here at HorH apparently! We are so obsessed with witchy women and towns that start with G we decided we HAVE to talk about the Ancient Ram Inn in Gloucestershire, UK! Along with a 'Witches Room' the Inn has some evil monks, interesting demons, and supposed dead bodies. Not to mention it's the epitome of Ancient. But does old mean haunted? Listen to find out!

  • 62. Dogtown

    Werewolves, witches, and bulls! Oh my! This weeks episode is all about Dogtown, Massachusetts. One of the oldest Ghost Towns in the United States! But are there really ghosts? There are certainly some interesting legens about witches and other cryptids. There are also some pretty interesting rock formations should you choose to hike. Just make sure you watch for crows...and arrows!

  • 61. Madison Dry Goods Store

    It's another new episode! Episode 61 to be exact. This week we are talking about the Madison Dry Goods Store in North Carolina! It has murder, it has dark entities it has....it's own tv show? Well, it's a part of a new series called 28 Days Haunted and that is what caught our eye. The real question in this episode is were we duped? Or does this store really host spirits? Stick around for a very cool Sage Moment at the end!

    Sixty episodes in and we are finally doing a classic ghost haunt! Stepp Cemetery is located in a Sate Forest in Indiana. It's got the classic story of a Lady in Black with a LOT of origins. Which is true? We try to figure it out. There are a lot of car accidents, children, and a tree stump involved. You heard us. It's a weird one!
