  • 201. Diana of the Dunes

    I wouldn't say we're back. I'd say we're bored. The quality of this episode reflects that properly. See you in another six months, nerds.

    This is the story of Diana of the Dunes. Come for the ghost, stay for too much cholesterol, chippies gotta go, Governor Heehaw, typical millennial, insuffragette, it's probably bears, and a very viscous route.

  • 200. Captain Kidd

    Did you know we're ending hte podcast? This is the final episode. That feels important in case you're just finding us for the first time. Wow, this is awkward. Yeeeeah....well, goodbye!

    This is the story of Captain William Kidd. Come for the ghost, stay for can't go full ghost, mashin' d*cks, the chat is so mad, far down the Muppet spectrum, Pickle Express, we shouldn't give the crabs any of this money, Bill Gates was a horse freak, and more great things but our eyes are too wet to see so just listen to the whole thing. It's special.

    Thank you for listening all this time. We are so grateful for you. More grateful than you know.

  • 199. Borley Rectory

    This episode is about Borley Rectory. It's a rectory in Borley. There's a ghost or more than one ghost. There are jokes and other things, too. Probably fun stories. Maybe even a new shirt idea? We're not sure.

    Okay, Clayton didn't have time to listen to the episode and so now we don't have any show notes. But it's a super great episode for sure for sure for sure. Good luck!

  • 198. Snug Harbor

    Snug sounds nice, doesn't it? Snug as a ghost in some toast. We like that.

    This is the story of Snug Harbor. Unfortunately, Clayton's new puppy ate all the show notes. Goddammit.

  • 197. Woodburn Mansion

    Sometimes a house is just a house, sometimes a trainwreck is just a trainwreck, and sometimes a coxswain is just a coxswain, but that's a discussion for next week, not this week.

    This is the story of Woodburn Mansion. Come for the ghosts, stay for a hurtful meme, Jeremy's on a mission, foot stuff, This Sucks: An Architectural Podcast, no wonder it's cursed, I don't speak ghost, and the Flemish Bond.

  • 196. Bowers Mansion

    There are way too many inappropriate jokes in this episode and we should go on record saying they are Patrick's fault.

    This is the story of Bowers Mansion. Come for the ghosts, stay for the only thing daddy needs, the coolest spaceship on the block, castle-debtor's prison-flat-gutter, convenience that God has bestowed upon us, ignore the sores, the Comstock load, having a baby on the moon, and she's in a business envelope.

    By the way, trust us that there has never been a more important time than RIGHT NOW to join Ghost+. You'll thank us next week.

  • 195. The Goat Inn

    England never fails to disappoint, and by that we mean, oh boy, England is disappointing.

    This is the story of the Goat Inn. Come for the ghost, stay for I don't care about romance, look at the slopes on that broad, Mrs. Isaac Newton, goat loves baseball, Austin Powers time, an intense thing to think about, museums with anything from anyone, tyres can't possibly be right, and spread eagle.

  • 194. The Great Train Wreck of 1856

    What began as a routine Sunday school excursion would become one of the deadliest railroad accidents in early American history. An overcrowded passenger train, running behind schedule, collided head-on with a locomotive traveling in the opposite direction on a single-track line. In the absence of modern signaling systems or centralized control, a series of small breakdowns in timing and communication led to catastrophic consequences. In this episode, we examine the events of that day, the operational failures behind the collision, and what this tragedy reveals about the risks of early rail systems.

  • 193. The Wesley Poltergeist

    Christians are weird, aren't they? Hit the music!

    This is the story of the Wesley poltergeist. Come for the ghost, stay for deep in the stink, I'm a mean girl now, nursery rhyme levels of children, just three bros, the hornery, and something for everyone.

  • 192 .Olive Thomas

    In some ways, this is the story of an olive and a cocktail. But in some very important ways, it's not.

    This is the story of Olive Thomas. Come for the ghost, stay for the smart one on the podcast, a little bit romantic, Harry Van Dutch, Dick Gingham, the Camelot of Western Pennsylvania, poor Leo,, and gay baby vampire bats,
