WE ARE BAAAACCKKKKKKKKK FOR SUMMERWEEN SPOOKY BABES!!!!!!! <3

Kathryn and Hayley discuss the chilling histories and ghostly legends surrounding some of America's most infamous amusement parks. From the cursed grounds of Lake Shawnee Amusement Park in West Virginia to the abandoned ruins of Six Flags New Orleans and the lingering spirits said to roam Cedar Point, the ghouls explore the tragedies, hauntings, and urban legends that prove not every thrill ride ends when the park closes.
