The year is 1937. The United States military is engaged in a brutal war with their Canadian neighbors up north, and tensions are higher than ever before.

However, when an unexpected player enters the mix, chaos is not far behind. Step back in time to an alternate history as the United States People's Radio station provides the latest updates on the war effort through the lens of a "true" American. After all, it's America's Radio.

Confessions is a podcast aiming to learn more about the students here at SUNY New Paltz, but without knowing their names. After hollowing out a book to place a recording device in, your hosts, Chelsea, Ejona and Troi placed it in with hundreds of other books down in the library stacks. From there, anyone was welcome to come share their own fears, worries, problems or thoughts anonymously. In this podcast, issues ranging from relationship problems, biggest fears, and even "soup theft" are discussed and bonded over. The book of confessions is now open, and it’s time to read.

As you listen to the podcast, you will dive deeper into the lore and supernatural of Ulster County. In this podcast we interviewed Margaret at the Elting Library in SUNY New Paltz. A haunted house, building or a structure is said to be occupied by ghosts, spirits, and other paranormal forces. It is a popular belief that if a person dies tragically inside a house, their spirit is prone to haunt the house. Skeptics often dismiss the idea of a haunted house and look for a logical and scientific explanation.

Haunted houses and other dwellings have  always been an integral part of the horror-genre storytelling, books, movies and TV series. Sometimes not all stories about haunted houses are aimed at scaring people. In reality, it tells a story of the spirit of the deceased, who wander around houses and other dwellings in search of something missing.
