Small town life is generally easy. That is, unless the town is haunted. Get ready for ghost stories, local lore, and a deep dive into the paranormal legacies of America's most haunted towns. First, we journey to Jerome, Arizona—a once-booming copper mining town turned ghostly relic. Discover the eerie tales of the Jerome Grand Hotel, where a phantom maintenance man lingers in the basement and ghostly footsteps echo through the halls. We'll also step inside a brothel still haunted by the tragic spirit of a murdered madam. Then, we’ll head east to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where darkness clings to the walls of the infamous Welles House. Learn how a family was driven from their home by the menacing presence of a well-dressed elderly man with a cane. And don't miss the unnerving legend of the Hoodoo House, where a string of funerals turned one home into a cursed landmark.

Welcome to another Paranormal Rewatch. In this episode, we’ll follow Josh Gates and Destination Truth as they explore the haunted Island of the Dolls located in the Xochimilco canals just south of Mexico City, Mexico. Legend has it that Don Julián Santana Barrera found a doll floating in the canal the day after a young girl drowned. He hung the doll in her memory. He believed the girl’s spirit haunted the island, so Barrera hung more dolls to appease her until over 4,000 dolls adorned the island. Did the creepy decorations work? You’ll have to listen to find out.

In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the eerie phenomenon of doppelgängers — mysterious doubles that look exactly like us, but aren't us. Are they omens of death, astral projections, or something even more sinister? From ancient folklore to modern-day encounters, we unravel real stories of people who’ve come face to face with these uncanny twins. Join us as we explore the dark mirror world of doppelgängers — where reality blurs and not everything is as it seems.

In this chilling episode, we dive deep into two of the most infamous haunted relics: the Anna Baker Wedding Dress and the Conjured Chest from Kentucky.

Meanwhile, the Conjured Chest, an antique piece from Kentucky, holds secrets that are far from ordinary. Once used for spiritual practices, this chest with a sinister origin story quickly became the source of untimely death and despair that wracked a family for generations.

Once again, it’s time to hit the road on another Haunted Road Trip. This time we’re headed to the Gateway to the West: St. Louis, Missouri. In this chilling episode, we dive into two of St. Louis' most haunted landmarks: the Powell Symphony Hall and the Lehmann House. As one of the oldest and most beloved venues in the city, Powell Hall has also been a stage for eerie paranormal occurrences.  We’ll meet the ghost of a mysterious man in white who sports a magnificent handlebar mustache and an apparition known as George. Our next stop will be the Lehmann House located in the heart of Lafayette Square in the historic district. Lehmann House is an imposing Victorian that’s both hauntingly beautiful and just plain haunted. Stay long enough and you’ll hear voices in the other room and the sound of footsteps. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of one of the previous owners who also sports a magnificent mustache: Edward Rowse. Pack your bags and join us for a spine-tingling journey through time where the past refuses to be ignored.

What happened at Fox Hollow Farm where Herb Baumeister allegedly murdered at least 11 men. In this special episode, we look at The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm: Unraveling the History and Hauntings of a Serial Killer’s Home by Richard Estep with Robert Graves. The book is a chilling account that’s part history, part true crime, and part paranormal investigation that’s as captivating as it is terrifying. It’s unclear exactly what went on at Fox Hollow, but a grim collection of more than 10,000 bones suggests it was an unspeakable evil. Though this episode concentrates mostly on Estep’s book, we’d be remiss if we didn’t bring up the four-part docuseries now streaming on Hulu: The Fox Hollow Murders. Though the series focuses on the true crime aspect, we think you’ll be stunned and  mesmerized by the testimony of the one victim who got away. Did we mention that we have our own theories? You’re not going to want to miss this one.

The story begins with a man witnessing an execution. That man was Thomas Whaley who, not long after, moves from his home in New York to San Diego, buys the land where the execution occurred, and builds a house on the spot where the gallows once stood. That house is now known as the Whaley House. The Whaley story is one full of heart wrenching tragedy and just plain bad luck. As you might have guessed, the story is full of both history and ghosts. Today, the house endures as a museum to the past and as one of San Diego’s most prominent paranormal hotspots. Join us as we explore the home where the tumultuous past collides with the paranormal.
