On this episode, we discuss hauntings in the United States as part one of a special two part series. We touch upon 112 Ocean Avenue where The Amityville Horror took place, the Crescent Hotel, The Whaley House, The Winchester Mystery House, and a few spots in my home state of Arizona, including the Birdcage Theatre in Tombstone and Casey Moore's in Tempe.

In this latest installment of The Mortician's Daughter, we talk about avoiding the summer heat (and resultant depression) here in the Sonoran Desert and about the paths to Sainthood, obviously.

Summers in Arizona can be especially difficult for families in need.

You can find out more about direct donations or volunteer opportunities at stvincentdepaul.net.
