Today we surprise Dan with a haunted place of which he is at the epicenter. That's right, we're traveling to an eerie marshland that stretches across much of the UK. It's best to avoid this area, as many people who venture in never make it out... If you do dare to enter this murky quagmire, just be sure not to eat the mushrooms 'cause you're gonna need your wits about you for the horrors that lie inside. Dan is going to have to channel his inner Demon Slayer for this one. Wish him luck!

Get ready for a double dose of frights, because we’re bringing you a twofer today! That’s right, we’ll be covering TWO topics in today’s episode. Why? Because we love y’all and you deserve a little something extra. So if you’re headed up to the North Shore any time soon, you might want to be careful where you book your stay... Haunted hotel rooms and an old 20th century tower? Sounds a bit sketchy to me.

And then…a surprise for all of our listeners! So, you don’t think the number 13 brings bad luck? Maybe not, but this episode might… Proceed with caution!

Have you ever wondered what events led to the state of Minnesota's decision to abolish the death penalty? Or perhaps you're curious about the spirits that still linger to this day after their untimely death by execution. Well, the answers are a lot closer to home than you may realize. A statue at the entrance of the building in today's episode is said to bring good luck if you rub its toe. You might wanna do that before you listen to today's episode...there's a lot going on here.

The holidays are a joyous time of year filled with family, food, and good feelings...or are they?

Put on your flannel and get ready to chop some wood, because today we're taking you to a remote Minnesota town by the name of Bena. Here you'll find an iconic resort and general store with a cute name. What's not so cute, though? This area used to be home to a prisoner of war encampment, so you know there are some haunts to be had. We also watch to some paranormal recordings that honestly shook us to the core. HOW DID THAT BOTTLE FLY LIKE THAT?! Give it a listen and send us your thoughts.

We must be dehydrated... Because yes, we're talking about another body of water. Yes, this lake does actually go by the moniker 'Haunted Lake'. And believe you me, it definitely lives up to its name. We'd recommend not camping on the shores of this place.
