37 min - South Manitou Island
We have talked about a variety of places said to be haunted so far on this podcast, some castles or cemeteries, some hotels or restaurants. Today, we talk about a first - a haunted island. Not only that, but it is also known as Michigan’s most haunted location and the location is very remote. Make the trip if you can - but don’t stay too long, or you might see or hear something you cannot explain on your visit to South Manitou Island.

32 min - The Skelton BrothersThanksgiving is usually a day to be thankful, reflect on the good things in your life, and be grateful for your loved ones. Unfortunately, in 2010, things would not play out that way for the Skelton family, who was on the verge of divorce, or the three young boys who went missing. The investigation that would ensue happened quickly, with many law enforcement agencies spanning across a state border and still leaving way more questions than answers.Sources:https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/what-happened-to-the-skelton-brothers-thanksgiving-marks-11-years-since-michigan-boys-disappearedhttps://www.wtol.com/article/news/crime/john-skelton-declines-interview-with-parole-board/512-5b79f026-8cee-4849-99e2-a8f3a3f829cchttps://plymouthvoice.com/where-are-the-skelton-brothers/https://wbckfm.com/john-skelton-up-for-parole-missing-skelton-brothers/https://meaww.com/where-are-skelton-brothers-michigan-boys-went-missing-on-thanksgiving-after-visiting-their-fatherhttps://ultimateunexplained.com/deep-dive-skelton-brothers-disappearance/https://medium.com/@jennbaxter_69070/the-tragic-disappearance-of-the-skelton-brothers-8a2e2a64bd6bhttps://www.wlen.com/2021/08/05/father-of-missing-skelton-brothers-has-parole-hearing-this-month/https://www.audacy.com/wwjnewsradio/news/local/10-years-later-tv-show-hopes-to-solve-skelton-brothers-casehttps://www.mixedarticle.com/skelton-brothers-missing-update-2022-whatever-happened-to-the-michigan-boyshttps://www.inquisitr.com/4686024/skelton-brothers-remains-of-three-children-found-in-box-probed-for-possible-link-to-missing-michigan-brothers/https://the-line-up.com/the-skelton-brothershttps://www.crimeonline.com/2020/11/26/a-decade-later-and-still-no-answers-what-happened-to-the-skelton-brothers/52 min
- Easton Castle
To our surprise, there are definitely castles in the US, let alone in South Dakota! On this episode, we cover the Easton Castle and its history. This location specifically has some interesting ties to a famous author, and potentially could have been a MAJOR inspiration in pop-culture. Although there aren’t too many ghosts or hauntings reported, this castle does remain on the top haunted places in South Dakota list. Join us to discuss this location and why it was so interesting to us!

51 min - Mathias Ham House
The Mathias Ham House sits in Dubuque, Iowa. This is located right on the border of the Mississippi River. In fact, that is how Mathias Ham made his fortune to in turn build a house in the 1800s. However, the home only held the family for his next generation before being sold to the state in order to eventually become a museum. It was only once it became a museum did all the spooky happenings become known to the public. Join us as we discuss the haunting in the Mathias Ham House!
