Ready to solve a mystery? In our mid-season finale, the team gazes into the eyes of The Restless Face, a striking red mask delivered anonymously to Greg & Dana with only a note reading: “I’m sorry”. You’ll be just as shocked as we are when you learn how the mask's true origins align with its paranormal activity. Plus, Greg gets a friend possessed, Dana becomes the audience, Connor plays Risk, and Keelin embarks on a cryptid hunt. It’s time to learn a thing or two from the Restless Face, and in turn, discover more about haunted objects as a whole.

We're headed out on tour, but we'll be back in November with the second half of the season! If you miss us, come see us at a city near you or subscribe to the Patreon for weekly episodes of Museum Mailbag, our exclusive members-only show, while we're on the road!
