  • 48. Pennhurst School and Hospital

    Episode 48 is here! This week we discuss Pennhurst School and Hospital, also known today as Pennhurst Asylum. This location is filled with a lot of heavy, graphic topics, so listener discretion is advised. From patient mistreatment, rumors of bad dentistry, and too many incident reports, it's no wonder this former hospital in Pennsylvania is rumored to be haunted. But is there anything to back of the claims? We have some opinions. Listen now!

  • 47. The Snedeker House

    Episode 47 is really kicking off October! This week we talk about the iconic Snedeker House in Connecticut. This is an intense case and one of the Ed and Lorraine Warren investigations. It's got a book deal, fantastic horror film, and documentary all about the horrors the Snedeker family. But what's true? What's Hollywood fiction? What about the eyelids? Listen to find out the answer to (most) of these questions.

  • 46. Savannah Bar Haunts

    Happy October, ghosts and ghouls! We decided to take a trip to our favorite city Savannah, GA! We went on a Haunted Pub Crawl that did not disappoint with the stories or the booze. There were some tantalizing tales but were any of them true? We'll leave the finally verdict up to you. But we do agree, 10/10 would do a tipsy tour again!

  • 45. New England Vampire Panic

    How has it taken us 45 episodes to talk about Vampires? We don't know either! But this week we are satisfying an itch we didn't have talking about the New England Vampire Panic. Yes, we had one of those. And not the sort of West Coast glittery moody vampires we all panicked about in high school. These are much more gruesome...and ashy!  First witches, we've covered the ghosts, then vampires...New England is a lot more scary than we thought. Enjoy the episode!

  • 44. Sleepy Hollow

    Did a little switcharoo on location this week, listen to find out why! But this week we travel to New York and discuss the iconic Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. Of course we chat about the infamous Headless Horseman, but we also touch on a ghost ship and Revolutionary Spy that supposedly share the Hollow haunt with him! There is a lot of chaotic pronunciation in this episode so take your sips lightly if you play a drinking game!

  • 43. The Pine Barrens

    Episode 43 is a little delayed, but it's well worth the wait! We're going up north to New Jersey to another haunted forest! The Pine Barrens have been a long source of legend and spooky stories. The most notable of course being the Jersey Devil. Yes, we talk about him. We also talk about a ghostly doctor, summoning a child, and pirates! Arrrr (we're so sorry) you ready for a fantastically creepy and funny episode?

  • 42. Haught Mansion

    A short episode this week as we take episode 42 to Michigan and discuss Haught Mansion. So there is no excuse NOT to listen all the way through! Kidding (sort of)! The house first really came up on lists after Seph Lawless photographed it for their Haunted House inspired book. It surely does have the creepy look of a Haunted mansion down, but does it have the haunted history to back it up? Listen to find out!

  • 40. Poveglia Island

    HOLY HAUNTINGS WE ARE AT EPISODE 40! We decided to celebrate by taking a trip to Italy's Death Island! Yes, this week we are discussing Poveglia Island off the coast of Venice. It's got a "plagued" history that you won't wanna miss. See what we did there? We also try to see if the island is truly haunted or if it's sickening background gives it a bad rep. Okay, done now, promise!
