October 28, 2020 Florence, MS
Haunted houses are usually old, shrouded in mystery, plagued by tragedy. But what happens when you start experiencing the supernatural in your brand new dream home? The home you designed and built from the foundations? Could that possibly be a haunting? What else could be causing the activity?
Those are exactly the questions that filmmakers Steve Gonsalves and Kendall Whelpton were hoping to answer in their documentary The House Between. Alice Jackson built her dream home in Florence, Mississippi. She hasn’t been able to spend a night there alone for the past ten years. This week, Alli and Becky discuss the haunting behind the documentary The House Between. SPOILER ALERT! Rent the movie and support the filmmakers first, then come back to this episode and hear what we have to say!
Happy Halloween, Y’all! We hope you enjoy the Season 2 finale. Remember… Florence, MS is Obviously Haunted!

October 14, 2020 New Orleans, LA
The Bloody History of the LaLaurie Mansion
TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains the torture of enslaved people. If you feel like it may be too emotional, please skip this one.
On the corner of Royal Street, in 1834, a mansion is going up in flames. When volunteers show up to fight the fire, they ask about the enslaved people inside. Delphine LaLaurie blows them off, urging them to save her belongings. They ignore her and search the house for survivors. The scene they found would haunt the city of New Orleans for more than a hundred years.
The LaLaurie Mansion has long been considered the most haunted building in New Orleans. The beautiful facade hides its horrific past and the frightening activity that plagues anyone who dares dwell there. This week, Alli and I discuss one of the vilest women in history, the serial killer Delphine LaLaurie.

Is there a better time and place for a haunting than the wild, wild west? This week, Becky regales her nephew with stories of sheriffs and cattle rustlers in the lawless deserts of Southern Arizona.

August 05, 2020 Culver City, CA
Welcome to Season 2 of OBVIOUSLY HAUNTED!
Doris Blither moved to Southern California to start fresh with her children. Their new home was tight, but they were together. They couldn’t have known that moving into that house would be the beginning of decades of paranormal torture.
Doris and her children were hounded by the spirits in their Culver City home. Not knowing where to turn, they contacted the UCLA parapsychology lab. The subsequent investigation would yield powerful photographic evidence of the haunting, a book, and a hit Hollywood adaptation.
This week on Obviously Haunted, Alli and I discuss the real story behind the 1982 hit The Entity.

July 01, 2020 Bonus Ep 4 - Louisville, KY with Ian Epperson
High on a hill overlooking the swampy streets of Louisville, KY sits a piece of history. The infamous tuberculosis sanatorium dubbed Waverly Hills, most haunted hospital in the United States.
Waverly Hills was built on the idea that fresh air and positive thinking could cure those suffering from one of the worst diseases of the early 20th century. Unfortunately, not every patient thrived on good vibes alone. Many people died in the self-contained community of Waverly Hills. Some died of tuberculosis. Some died from the unfounded, invasive treatments. Others simply gave in to despair.
All that tragedy still haunts the halls of this beautiful, historical building today.
This week Becky welcomes guest host Ian Epperson from Thirteen Podcast to discuss this famous and prolific haunting. Check out Thirteen wherever you listen to podcasts!
