Built in 1859 above Harmar Village in Marietta, Ohio, The Anchorage began as a private mansion and love letter in stone before later becoming a nursing home—and eventually one of the region’s best-known paranormal locations. In this episode, we explore the documented history of the Putnam Villa, the people who lived and worked there, and the stories now attached to its tower, staircase, attic, and parlor. We also examine reports of footsteps, voices, screams, little girls seen throughout the house, a man in a top hat, and the woman often identified as Eliza Putnam—while separating recorded history from folklore that has grown through repetition.

We then revisit No Lights Paranormal’s own unusually active investigation, where every team reported experiences and the DVR became the anchor holding the night together. From unexplained attic movement and possible voices to reported camera movement and a powerful cluster of personal experiences in the parlor, The Anchorage gave us far more than we expected—but not one clean answer. We discuss what worked, where our investigation discipline slipped, what still requires audio and video cross-checking, and why even the strongest personal experience remains a lead rather than proof. The Anchorage did not give us one clean trophy. It gave us a house full of leads.

Madison Seminary has lived many lives: a school, a home for Civil War widows, nurses, and families, a place of care, and eventually one of Ohio’s best-known paranormal investigation locations. In this episode, we dig into the documented history behind the red-brick building, separate fact from folklore, and examine the claims that continue to draw investigators—voices, footsteps, shadow figures, unexplained movement, and the stories surrounding areas like Sarah’s Room and the Asylum.

We also revisit No Lights Paranormal’s own investigation and the lessons Madison taught us about static equipment, sound contamination, team rotations, and protecting active investigation zones. The night did not hand us undeniable proof—but it gave us anomalies worth studying, better questions to ask, and a sharper method for the next visit. Madison did not hand us a trophy. It handed us leads.

No Lights Paranormal opens Season 2 with one of the biggest names in American ghost lore: Waverly Hills Sanatorium.

In this episode, Alex and Teresa separate documented history from decades of haunted reputation, looking at the tuberculosis sanatorium’s real past, its later legends, and the claims that made it famous — shadow figures, disembodied voices, Room 502, the Body Chute, child spirits, and more.

They also revisit their own experiences at Waverly and ask what the building actually gives investigators to work with. Which claims deserve attention? Which belong in the poppycock pile? And how would No Lights investigate Waverly today with better planning, static equipment, contamination control, and a lot less expectation?

Because legends are easy.

Evidence is harder.

Retired law enforcement officer Mandy Cummings joins No Lights Paranormal to share her journey from patrol to mediumship, explaining how a night at Mansfield Prison and a chilling video clip launched her investigative team and TV appearances.

She describes her investigation style—no pre-research walkthroughs guided by her medium abilities—her focus on debunking, preference for spirit boxes and older recorders, and distrust of apps with built-in word databases. Mandy also outlines ethical rules for residential cases and why she never charges frightened homeowners.

Throughout the episode she recounts intense cases (Cooper Hill, Ewer Shrine), talks gear and EVPs, discusses cryptid interest and upcoming collaborations, and emphasizes live interaction, validation, and community-building in paranormal work.

This episode explores the tragic history of Pennhurst — its founding, systemic abuse, eugenics-era practices, closure, and why the site is so haunted — alongside the team’s recent EVPs and reactions from investigations.

It also revisits Madison Seminary’s changing roles through history and shares first-hand investigation stories, thermal anomalies, spirit box responses, and tips for attending public or private ghost hunts.

The No Lights Paranormal team returns from hiatus to recount a tense, gear-challenged investigation at Pennhurst Asylum with the Lore Lodge crew — featured EVPs, oppressive presences, and first-time reactions that made the night unforgettable.

They introduce new members, share personal haunt experiences (including a childhood ghost named George), discuss equipment limits, and urge listeners to help preserve Pennhurst from plans to build an AI data center over its historic grounds.

BY THE WAY, His name! Was Ethan!
