Haunted or Hoax

Welcome to 2022 AND our 10th Episode! This week we visit a Lighthouse near Kristen's hometown. From the 1830s to the Civil War to some AMAZING EVPs in the 80s, we had a lot to talk about! Is it rich in history AND in hauntings? You'll have to listen to find out. When the pandemic is done we definitely recommend you go to the State Park and visit the Lighthouse yourself! Just don't go into the Bay. Trust us.

It's the end of 2021 as we know it Ghost and Ghouls! We are finishing out the year with a New Years Lady in Red at the Drake Hotel. We also run into a Lady in Black and the heart breaking story of a mourning couple for their son. We also debate the drug of choice for flappers. Honestly, this episode is a perfect summation of our 2021. We have had so much fun on this podcast journey so far and we can't wait to see what 2022 brings us!

Happy Holidays! Our Christmas week episode takes us to a place just like heaven. No, not a warm island in the Caribbean, West Virginia! We explore what has to be the oldest hotel in Parkersberg. Which is a perfect Christmas town in our books. So grab your haunt cocoa and settle up while we talk about haunted elevators, bowling, and some questionable youtube skits. We hope you have a wonderful holiday to round out this weird year!

Lucky number seven! Buckle up Believers and Sit down Skeptics, because this is a long but amazing episode! This week Kristen and Jennifer take another trip to New York State, this time to Hinsdale to talk about a house with a LOT going on. A Potpourri of Hauntings if you will...Cornucopia? Up for debate.  We had a lot of fun and frustration when talking about the Hinsdale House. Listen to us struggle to speak this week! What do you think? Haunted or Hoax?

Super St. Augustine Sixth Episode! Kristen and Jennifer went to St. Augustine, Florida for their first Ghost Tour episode! Thank you so much to Kevin Rose and Spyglass Tours for showing us this amazing, rich in history and in ghosts, city. We heard all about the haunts of St. Augustine, but we decided to concentrate on three stories centered around the children of St. Augustine. We also saw a hell of a lot of lights, Tis the season for ghosts and garland!

It's Episode 5 Ghost, Ghouls, and Necromancers! This week we take a story from Adams, Tennessee about a Witch terrorizing the Bell Family. It's supposedly the most notorious ghost story in American History. This episode has everything! We have cave diving, we have small town drama, we have...teeth in jewelry boxes? You'll just have to listen for the details!

Hey Ghost, Ghouls, and Necromancers! Welcome to Episode FOUR! We have gotten so much love so far on our podcast and we are having a blast! This week we take a suggestion from Sarah R. on Facebook and covering the Eloise Psychiatric Hospital in Westland, Michigan! It's got everything from EVPs, pigs, and even it's own post office. If that doesn't sell you on this episode we're hoping our radio worthy (to some) voices will!

The wait for another episode is OVER! Jennifer and Kristen are back with Part Two of their Amityville Horror coverage. This time we fast forward a year to the Lutz family moving into the house on Ocean Avenue. They were only there 28 days but the things they experienced there are almost unspeakable. We speak on them, don't you worry! The Hauntings and...exoplasm?

We have had a TIME editing and producing these episodes for the podcast. Almost as if...SOMETHING doesn't want them to happen?

There's another episode!? After an overwhelming amount of support for Haunted or Hoax, Jennifer and Kristen are back with their sexy soothing voices to bring you a horrible crime and haunting. In this part one of a two part case they take you into the Defeo Family Murders. The tragedy that supposedly kicked off The Amityville Horror. Did Butch Defeo hear demons compelling him to kill? Did someone else do it? What seventeen year old NEEDS a 14,000 speedboat? Buckle up, this one is a doozy.

Jennifer nearly had to take a life vacation editing this episode. Do her a solid and tell us what you think of the show by rating and reviewing.
