Haunted or Hoax episodes

  • S4 E5 Port Arthur

    Season 4 is still here! We go Down Under this week to discuss the Historic Port Arthur site in Tasmania. Once a Penal Colony it's full of dark energy and sad stories. From an Isle of Dead to a Lady in Blue we delve into the spiritual possibilities. We also have some technical difficulties. Bad internet or something supernatural? Who knows.

  • S4 E4 The Oliver House

    Oops, we did it again! Don't be mad! We had a hard tail end to the longest month known to man. But we're back and in Bissbee, AZ to talk about the Oliver House. Not to be confused with at least two other Oliver Houses. We've got mistresses, murders, and used kleenex to talk about. Along with Grandma's with stiff arms. See, interesting right?

  • S4 E3 Bellamy Bridge

    This week we're heading to sunny Florida. Well, usually sunny, that polar vortex is effecting even the swampiest parts! Bellamy Bridge has rumors that involve burned brides, ghost wagons, and murdered moonshiners. We have a few skeptical spector photos and surprising confirmations. Do we think the legends are fact or small town fiction? We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

  • S4 E2 Marimont Castle

    Surprise! We are back after a lot of delay with episode two of this season. The world is a mess and so are we, but this week we bring you a 'castle' in Colorado. Instead of princes, kings, and happily ever afters we have headless nuns, children ghosts, and cursed paintings. A lot is going on at the castle but is it all just the minerals making us see things or does it have legit origins?

    We're ringing in the New Year with a new season! For our first episode, we are heading to Indiana to visit the legendary (in the paranormal world) Willow's Weep house. This house caught us off guard with its wild stories...some might even say hog wild....

  • Halloween Special: Edgar Allan Poe

    Once upon a midnight dreary while we pondered weak and weary - about the ghost of that author Poe! Happy Halloween Ghouls and Ghosts, we hope you've had a splendid October. This year for our podaversary we are discussing the many haunts of Edgar Allen Poe. From Baltimore to Viriginia you can find this man tapping at various chamber doors and his footsteps (thankfully not his heart) upon some interesting floorboards! Listen to Kristen geek out over the gothic romantic and Jennifer humor her.

  • S3 E12 The Queen Mary

    Boo! Did we scare you? Don't be, it's just us! This week we actually recorded in person in our favorite city of Savannah, Georgia. But...we didn't talk about a location there. Poor planning, we'll get it next time. This week we are actually talking about The Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. She's a cruiser, a veteran, and now a hotel. But is she haunted? We'll see!
