The next stop on The Vault’s Haunted Roadtrip series takes us through the picturesque mountain towns of Denver & Estes Park in Colorado. Molly Brown may be a name you recognize from the story of the Titanic but her former home in Denver is a location known for paranormal activity and spectral visits. The 2nd stop is a haunted park that is supposedly so haunted that it inspired one of the most famous horror movies of all time, The Poltergeist, due to thousands of bodies being buried below the park… we’re stopping by Cheesman Park. 

But the adventure doesn't end there because we have one final destination before we leave Colorado. Estes Park is a quaint and touristy town, with a somewhat eerie feeling, maybe because it is home to one of the most haunted hotels in the world: The Stanley Hotel. This hotel has a reputation on its own, but will forever be immortalized after leaving a mark on horror icon Stephen King and the release of “The Shining” due to the ghostly encounters and unsettling ambience.

Join for another week as we uncover the haunted history as we travel through Colorado and delve into the spooky, sinister and downright unexplainable events on our haunted roadtrip.

Buckle up for another spine-tingling stop on our Haunted Roadtrip series as Victoria takes you through the haunted history of what may be the most haunted state in the US: Nevada. Nestled among the hills, this once-thriving mining town is now a hotbed of paranormal activity known as Virginia City.

We will wander through the historic streets, saloons and echoing halls where the spirits of prospectors and pioneers are said to linger. Discover the tales from 8 different haunts (with plenty more) where the supernatural is as much a part of the ambiance as the vintage décor.

It’s no wonder Virginia City is unanimously voted the most haunted place in Nevada with its ghostly tapestry woven with stories from the Wild West.

This week we're diving into the world of fandoms because whether or not we admit it, we've all been part of a fandom at some point in our lives. While on the surface it may seem like the perfect place to find a community of people with common interests (or border line obsessions), is there a dark side to today's fan culture? The first guest, and #1 fan girl, Leah joins to break down what it is means to be part of the world's largest fandom, the highs & lows and explores the darker side to fan culture.

Numbers are essential to our world and society today. Not only do we use them in our currencies to exchange goods, and to keep track of time but there is so much symbolism behind the numbers we use in our daily lives. Ancient civilizations used numbers to predict weather phenomena and to chart the stars in the sky, and eventually specific links were made between numbers and the universe. From there, divination practices such as numerology, tarot and even cardology became fun parlour tricks that are still practiced today. After all, numbers matter in our universe.

Fear is one of, if not THE most powerful human emotions. It can control some of your most important life decisions if you let it, or you can use it to help build courage in order to face your fears and do the things that scare you the most. This week we're diving into the science behind fear to help understand why humans keep doing the things that scare them. They end up doing things that could kill them like jump out of planes and swim with sharks. But really, what's the worst that could happen?

Thanksgiving is one of the most popular holidays in America but this week we are diving into the dark history because as Wednesday Addams taught us “Do not trust the pilgrims”. This is the slightly haunted, mostly dark history of the 1st Thanksgiving, where we will be unlocking the truth of what some might think are Pagan roots, debunking the rumors around the depictions of the peaceful meal between colonists and Native Americans and discussing what’s on the menu. I also do a review of Eli Roth’s latest horror flick “Thanksgiving” which includes spoilers for 4 minutes at the 40 minute mark - Listeners beware!
