  • 89. Shaker's Cigar Bar

    It's time to hit Milwaukee! Hiding place of mobsters apparently and the former home of notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Nestled in there with a supposed connection to both is Shaker's Cigar Bar that boasts a healthy stock of spirits of all kinds. You have a small girl bothering you in the bathroom, some men causing a nuisance in the basement, and a murdered sex worker who re-arranges things in the upstairs AirBNB. A lot of rumors have made Shaker's Cigar Bar a popular haunt, but does it have the history to back it up? Find out!

  • 88. The Biltmore Estate

    Phantom parties, headless cats, and creepy compounds! Oh my! Who knew The Biltmore Estate had so much ghostly activity going on? Not us and well...we were a bit skeptical. This iconic location on the Southern US is known for Holly Jolly than Hauntings. Jennifer sets us straight with all of the fascinating history of the Vanderbilts and their home!

  • 87. Hill House- Texas

    This week we are heading out to Texas to visit the Haunted Hill House (no, not THAT Hill House). This place is home to many stories, spirits, scratchers, and shadows, with many investigations taking place over the years. Is it home to lost spirits? Or maybe something darker?

    We are heading over to the UK this episode to cover the Borley Rectory, and does this place have a lot! Let ye who has been buried in a wall throw the first stone? This place has flying rocks, vases, and keys, wall writing, a love-struck nun, and a headless horseman- just to name a few. Join us on this wild ride (ghostly carriage included) as we sift through the details and the ghost stories of this 1800's home.

  • 84. Union Missouri Screaming House

    Jennifer is back on the East Coast! She made it cross country just to bring you this episode featuring a house full of screams in Union, Missouri. Very Amityville esque the story features the horrors a man and his three children had to go through in a rental home. Showers for butchers, deafening screams, rude neighbors! We're not sure if you can handle a story of an old house like this. Or if you will be surprised by the outcome, listen and let us know your thoughts!

  • 83. Alcatraz

    Did our ghosting last week spook you? Sorry about that, but we are back and  living! More than we can say for some of the people at our location. This week we take on a big name in prisons, Alcatraz! We've got prisoners and pelicans wreaking havoc on this Island. Not to mention disappearing light houses and protests!  Definitely a juicy episode to welcome us back. Special shout out to cohost Jennifer who's birthday is the 15th!

  • 82. Leap Castle

    Ireland, we're coming for  you! This week we seek out spirits at Leap Castle one of Ireland's most haunted places. A lot of death has supposedly happened in gruesome ways at the castle! Which stories are true? Which are legend? With a sulfur smelling Elemental and a Lady in Red we have a LOT to talk about.

  • 81. Rockwood Mansion and Museum

    Back on the east coast in Delaware this week where we talk about the Rockwood Mansion and Museum. It was the OG Ghost Hunters series last episode, sporting the ghost of 100 year old Mary and a little boy named Eddie. Potentially intelligent spirits but maybe actually a big ol' wet cloud? History and Hauntings seemed to meld AND conflict in this episode!

  • 80. The Alaskan Hotel

    Episode 80! We've hit another milestone and what better way to celebrate than with a topsy twisty story of a hotel in Juneau, Alaska? The Alaskan Hotel is known for it's bar, it's one star reviews and...a haunted hot tub? With stories about a murdered woman, injured sailor, and black magic this place was certainly keeping us on our toes! Were we able to confirm anything? Let's just say it definitely was definitely interesting from beginning to end.
