Haunted or Hoax episodes

  • S5 E4. Ghosts of Tybee Island

    If you’re a long time listener you’ll know that we usually take an annual pilgrimage to one of the most haunted cities in the US. This year is no different! We headed to Savannah, GA this episode but with a twist. We drove just a little further to take a ghost tour in Tybee Island. We talked ghosts, aliens, cryptids, and heard some terrible karaoke. But is Tybee Haunted enough for a ghost tour? Decide for yourself!

  • S5 E3. Hutchinson Public Library

    Shhh! Keep your voice down, this is a library. Or at least this is an episode about the Hutchinson Public Library. A haunted one at that though it seems like there is a little bit of main character syndrome going on with the ghost. Seems like the librarian who worked here couldn't keep away for long, even in death. We love libraries even if they aren't haunted like the Hutchinson supposedly is. Let us know if you've found anything creepy in the stacks of your local library too!

  • S5 E2. Glore Psychiatric Museum

    It's a night at the museum, but one about mental health, not mentalist like Kristen may have thought. We've got a potential new Bingo game in the making so make sure you make a note of our favorite disease this episode. Other than that we have replicas, EVPs, and a lot of undigested metals. Sounds weird? For us too.

  • S5 E1. Monte Cristo Homestead

    We're back! To kick off season 5, we’re heading to Monte Cristo Homestead. An elegant Victorian manor in New South Wales with a not so elegant past. There’s a wealthy railway tycoon, a reclusive widow, some very dead chickens, and allegedly a stable boy who slept through a fire.

  • S4 E10. Sloss Furnace

    This season's last episode is fire- and Sloss Furnace is the match. In this episode, we dive into the molten-hot history of one of Alabama’s most infamous landmarks. From convict labor and brutal working conditions to whispers of demons lurking in the smoke.

    This week we ferry over to Sheffield Island Lighthouse off the coast of Norwalk, Connecticut. We shed light on stories like which lighthouse keeper dropped dead mid-sentence, and why a flaming steamboat disaster might be relevant.

  • S4 E8. Sauer Castle

    Boo! Did we scare you with our chaotic posting schedule? Never fear, we haven’t ghosted you. This week we are clicking our heels three times to end up in Kansas where a paranormal investigator and seeming skeptic Becky provided Kristen with all the tea. Treasure, buried in the back yard bodies, mystery pictures. This place has everything except maybe facts to back it up? Listen to find out if it’s phantoms or a really strong wind.

  • S4 E6 Lincoln Park Zoo

    We tried so hard and got so far, but in the end we can't not reference this song this week. That's right we are discussing the haunting of LINCOLN Park Zoo. The tourist attraction in Chicago, not to be confused with the band of similar name but different spelling. The zoo has lions, meerkats, and ghost skunks! Oh my! There is also a connection to a very sad bridge and stories about ghost children. This story will not leave you feeling Numb. Okay, we're done now, happy listening!
