For sixty-six years, Preston Castle stood as a monument to reform and a witness to suffering. Built in 1894 as California’s first institution for wayward youth, its red brick walls saw generations of disaffected youth pass through, some to redemption, others to ruin. When the lights went out in 1960, the building fell silent, but the silence didn’t last. From the boy shot during his escape attempt to the sick left to die in its infirmary, and finally to Anna Corbin, the beloved housekeeper whose unsolved murder still echoes through its basement, the Castle has never forgotten.Join us as we delve into the brutal history and subsequent hauntings of Ione’s infamous Preston CastleFeaturing Special Guest: Bridget Marquardt of the Ghost Bunny Podcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/6O6OJ5N...

Nestled in the forks of the Licking River just east of Columbus sits the city of Newark Ohio. Incorporated in 1813, the city is known for both its midwestern industrial roots as well as its small town charm. But beneath that charm is a darker side; a haunted side. From the midland theater to the Cedar Hill Cemetery - two locations reputed to be so haunted that the mere mention of them causes locals to go weeks without sleep. But what the city is most notorious for is its old jailhouse, The Licking County Jail - a building haunted by the ghosts of its former inmates, one of which famously described it as the closest place to Hell. Join us as we dig into the twisted dark history of Newark, Ohio.

Nestled in the shadowy pine woods of Gurdon, Arkansas, the Gurdon Light has haunted the imagination of locals and thrill-seekers for nearly a century. First spotted in the 1930s along abandoned railroad tracks, this eerie orb—glowing white, blue, orange, or green—floats and sways like a lantern bobbing on an invisible cord, sometimes swelling to the size of a basketball before vanishing into the night.

Legend ties it to tragedy: In 1931, railroad foreman William McClain was brutally murdered with a spike maul by coworker Louis McBride during a heated brawl. McBride was executed months later, but McClain's headless ghost, they say, still roams with his lantern, desperately searching for his lost head. Some whisper of a decapitated brakeman from an earlier train mishap, his severed spirit doomed to wander eternally.

Malvern, Iowa... a forgotten railroad town born in the 1870s, where dreams rusted into shadows. Malvern Manor, once a bustling inn, morphed into a grim nursing home by the ‘50s, shut down in 2005 for neglect. Now? It’s a magnet for paranormal activity. Across the street, sits the Classic Cafe, a former doctors office and mortuary, it is now rumored to be one of Iowa's most haunted restaurants. We spent the night in Malvern on the second stop of our midwest tour. Find out what we caught during our overnight investigation in Malvern, Iowa.

Tonight on HTGS reviews, we break down the movie Mother!

**Spoilers!**

Mother! (2017) is a psychological horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky. It follows a young woman (Jennifer Lawrence) living in a secluded house with her poet husband (Javier Bardem). Their tranquil life is disrupted when uninvited guests (Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer) arrive, bringing chaos and tension. As more strangers invade their home, the woman's reality unravels, revealing a surreal, allegorical tale exploring themes of creation, destruction, and humanity's relationship with nature. The film is intense, symbolic, and open to interpretation, often seen as a commentary on environmental and biblical narratives.
