In My Haunted Era

Jen takes us to Lubbock, Texas this week to talk about some of its most haunted spots — Hell’s Gate Bridge, the Pioneer Pocket Hotel, and Lubbock High School. Think ghost stories, local legends, and weird Texas energy.

Em dives into the story of Belle Gunness, one of history’s most unsettling killers. She didn’t just scam men out of money — she made sure they never left her farm alive.

It’s a mix of hauntings and true crime, which feels about right for us.

WE’RE BAAAAAACK!!!

Em takes us to Hawai’i to talk about the Nightmarchers—ghostly warrior processions you really don’t want to cross paths with. Jen heads to Kansas for the Sallie House, a seemingly normal home with a seriously nasty reputation. Ancient spirits, haunted nurseries, and plenty of chaos in between.

This week, Jen takes us to England for the story of the Pollock Twins—a case that’s often called the best modern example of reincarnation. After two sisters were killed in a car accident, their parents later had twin girls who seemed to remember details of a life they never lived. Creepy coincidence or proof of something bigger?

Meanwhile, Em dives into encephalitis lethargica, the so-called “sleeping sickness” that left thousands of people trapped between waking and dreaming in the early 1900s. Some were frozen in place for decades, almost like living ghosts.

Two different kinds of hauntings—one rooted in memory, the other in the body.

In this episode, Em dives into the eerie disappearance of Tremont, Nevada—a town that seemingly vanished without a trace. Was it a cover-up? A mass delusion? Or something stranger?

Meanwhile, Jen breaks down the tools ghost hunters swear by: voice recorders, spirit boxes, EMF meters, and REM pods. What do they actually do—and do they really work?

A town gone missing and the gear that might help us find what’s left behind. Let’s get into it.

This week, Jen pulls out the paranormal toolbox and gives us the lowdown on pendulums, dowsing rods, and Ouija boards—what they are, how they (supposedly) work, and all the weird ways they’ve caused ghost hunters to argue with furniture. Spoiler: don’t ask a Ouija board if it’s friendly.

Meanwhile, Em takes us on a wild ride to Southend, England, where a man was allegedly possessed by a demonic werewolf spirit. Priests were called, things got bitey, and nobody came out of it with their dignity fully intact.

It’s a mix of ghost gear and werewolf weirdness—and as always, we’re only here to stir the pot (not summon anything, we swear).

In this episode, Em takes us to Kells Irish Pub in Seattle—a cozy spot with strong drinks and even stronger ghost vibes (because what’s a pub without a haunted past?). Then Jen heads to Whispers Estate in Indiana, where the ghosts are chatty, the vibes are weird, and honestly, no one’s sleeping through the night. It’s haunted bars, haunted houses, and our usual dose of bad jokes.

This week, Jen takes us to the misty shores of Loch Ness to hunt down the truth about everyone’s favorite lake monster. Is Nessie real, or just a legend with great PR?

Then Em dives into the chilling disappearance of Cindy Anderson — a young secretary who vanished from her office in broad daylight in 1981. No clues, no witnesses, and way too many creepy theories.

Come for the cryptids, stay for the cold cases. As always, it’s weird, it’s eerie, and maybe a little funny (because we can’t help ourselves).

This week, we’re serving up two stories that prove haunted houses are so last season—try haunted furniture and castles instead.

🛏️ Em digs into the Tallman Family Bunk Bed Haunting, where a secondhand bunk bed turned a quiet Wisconsin home into a full-blown nightmare. We’re talking ghostly voices, shadow figures, and a family so freaked out they bolted in the middle of the night. Say goodbye to sleepovers forever.

🏰 Then Jen takes us to the Scottish Highlands, where Tulloch Castle is crawling with centuries of spectral baggage. Secret tunnels? Yep. Creepy child ghosts? Of course. The infamous Green Lady? Absolutely. If these walls could talk, they’d probably scream.

Two stories, zero chill.

What’s Inside:

A bunk bed that may or may not be a portal to hell

One of the most aggressive hauntings to hit 1980s suburbia

A Scottish castle haunted by its own bloody history

Us, trying to pronounce Gaelic names without summoning anything

This week, we uncover the dark history of the Delhi Purple Sapphire — a gem that brought nothing but chaos to its owners — and wander through the haunted grounds of Mount Hope Cemetery. We’ll talk about why stealing sacred artifacts is a terrible idea, the restless spirits still lurking among the graves, and how bad decisions can follow you into the afterlife.

🎧 Grab your sage and headphones — it’s going to get spooky!

Welcome back, spooky scholars! 🎓👻 In this episode, Em and Jen are cracking open their paranormal textbooks and taking us to two of the most haunted campuses in the U.S.

🎙️ Em heads to Gettysburg College – where the ghosts are older than your dorm furniture and way more dramatic. From phantom soldiers in the basement of Pennsylvania Hall to spectral screams echoing through dorms, Gettysburg has more paranormal activity than a haunted frat party.

🎙️ Jen takes us to Ohio University – and yes, we’re talking about the infamous haunted room in Wilson Hall, the legendary Ridges asylum, and a cemetery shaped like a pentagram (because of course there is). Buckle up, Bobcats—your campus might have more ghosts than finals week panic attacks.

So grab your EMF detectors, skip your next lecture, and join us for this haunted higher education adventure.

🎧 Listen now—class is in session… for the DEAD.
