Is Hotel San Carlos really haunted?

This week on Scaredycast, Tony and Shy spend the night investigating one of Arizona's most infamous haunted locations: the historic Hotel San Carlos in downtown Phoenix. What started as a paranormal investigation quickly turned into one of the most unsettling experiences we've ever had.

Tony describes feeling an overwhelming sense of fear and dread unlike anything he's experienced at any other supposedly haunted location. Was it paranormal, psychological, or something else entirely?

We also answer listener questions, including:

👻 Which horror villain probably has the worst search history?

🎬 Which celebrity would make the worst paranormal investigator?

🚪 If you found a portal to another dimension in your closet, would you go through it?
