This episode is a haunted triple feature.

We open with two ghost videos sent in by viewers. First, a spirit allegedly caught darting through the background of a 1966 funeral in Ireland, footage that's been unsettling viewers for decades. Then a family in Mexico shares video of something even harder to explain: a creature's eyeball reportedly peering out at them from a crack in their wall.

Then we go deep on one of the strangest true crime stories in American history. On July 7, 1908, twenty-year-old Hazel Drew took a walk down a secluded road in Sand Lake, New York, and was never seen alive again. Her body turned up floating in Teal's Pond days later, and the murder was never solved. More than a century later, people still say her ghost walks those same woods.

But Hazel's story didn't stay buried. Her murder, and the legend of her ghost, directly inspired one of the most iconic characters in television history: Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks. We break down Hazel's real timeline, the suspects who were never cleared, the theories that still circulate today, and how a scary story told to a little boy named Mark Frost turned into a cult classic decades later.

Ghosts on camera. An eyeball in the wall. And the true unsolved murder behind Twin Peaks. This one has it all.

Real estate listings shouldn't come with a seance room. 🏚️

This week on Summerween: we tour a $265K South Carolina mansion that's somehow both a historic landmark AND the infamous "Holiday House" (yes, THAT one) — complete with a woman in black, a levitating bed, and enough crosses to suggest the previous owners knew exactly what they were dealing with. Link to the Zillow Listing.

Then we head to Panama for the unsolved disappearance of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon... two Dutch students who vanished on a well-traveled jungle trail, leaving behind 77 failed emergency calls, a pristine backpack found 10 weeks later, and bones with zero signs of animal scavenging. Portal? Cursed ground? Jungle chupacabra? We go through every theory, including the one Hollywood beat us to by a year.And in Ghost Mail: Corey sends in a photo his dog wouldn't stop growling at — a shadowy, hooded figure on the stairs that's either a samurai, Darth Vader, or something worse. Dog-approved, jury still out on everything else.🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an investigation.#MostHauntedCityOnEarth #ParanormalPodcast #Summerween #HauntedHouse #Chupacabra #TrueCrime #Paranormal #Savannah #GhostStories

The Great Smoky Mountains have been hiding one of America's biggest secrets for over 50 years.

On June 14, 1969, six-year-old Dennis Martin vanished from a Father's Day camping trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in broad daylight, within five minutes, surrounded by family. What followed became the largest search in the park's history: 1,400 searchers, the National Guard, and even Green Berets pulled from Fort Bragg, all turning up nothing. No shoe. No shirt. No trace.

In this episode, Madison and Chris break down the Dennis Martin disappearance: the eerie storm that washed out the trails right after he went missing, the temperature drop that made no sense for June, the child-size footprints that led to a stream and disappeared, the psychic tips the National Park Service took seriously enough to document, and a sawmill blade tied back to Dennis's own family found decades later. They dig into the three leading theories, exposure, animal attack, and abduction, and the Appalachian folklore that's followed this case for over 50 years: wild men in the deep woods, and of course, Spearfinger.

Then, stick around for a ghost mail from Amy, a semi-truck driver from outside Topeka, Kansas, and her cat and road companion, Milo. What Amy and Milo saw and heard late one night in their 100-year-old limestone farmhouse will leave you wondering what was really in the room with them.

Welcome to the very first episode of Haunted City Cinema Club (the HCCC), the new bonus series from The Most Haunted City on Earth podcast where we watch a trending horror film and put it through the wringer.

First up: EVIL DEAD BURN, the latest installment in the Evil Dead franchise. Is it the goriest entry yet? Absolutely. Is it a real Evil Dead movie? That is where the fight starts. We break down the phenomenal cold open, the fishing dock nightmare, the boiling lake, the headrest kill, that make out scene, the wax shot, the dentures, and the ending that had all three of us groaning. Plus a very French director, way too much story, and a dog that deserved better.

This one is a full spoiler review, so if you have not seen the movie yet, go watch it and come back.

Joining Chris and Madison this episode is our best friend and first guest, Michael Molina, a special effects makeup artist who pays closer attention to gore, prosthetics, and practical effects than anyone we know. He gives us the inside look on what the film nailed and what it faked.

We rank the Best Kill, the Worst Kill, and score the movie on our scare meter. Stick around for the post credit talk and Michael's take on how it stacks up against Sam Raimi's originals and Evil Dead Rise.

#summerween #hauntedcamping Join us on Patreon for Zero Ads and an amazing community: www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastThree Girl Scouts never made it home from opening night. Their killer may still be walking those woods.On June 12, 1977, hundreds of girls arrived at Camp Scott in Locust Grove, Oklahoma for the start of summer. By the next morning, three of them were gone. Lori Farmer, age 8. Doris Denise Milner, age 10. Michelle Gussie, age 9. The last thing Lori did was write a letter home to her family.What makes this case even more disturbing: weeks before the murders, a threatening note was found on camp property. It read, "We are on a mission to kill three girls in one tent." Camp directors assumed it was a prank and threw it away.The prime suspect was Gene Leroy Hart, a member of the Cherokee Nation known throughout his community as the Sandman, a man believed to be a shapeshifter. Detectives reported seeing a black dog following them through the woods during the investigation, one that would vanish without a trace. Hart died in prison before a conviction. In 2022, DNA evidence strongly suggested his guilt. The case remains officially unsolved.Oh, and Kristin Chenoweth was supposed to be at that camp. She was sick and stayed home.

Welcome to Summerween.Join us on Patreon for ZERO Ads and become part of the Parajunkie Fam! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastSt. Anne's Retreat sits six miles up Logan Canyon in Cache National Forest, Utah, and it has earned its spot on every top haunted list in the country. What started as a luxury retreat for the elite became a secret hideaway for pregnant nuns, a site of alleged infanticide in an empty swimming pool, and the backdrop for one of the most disturbing real-life incidents of the 1990s.In October 1997, 30 teenagers showed up looking for a scare and got far more than they bargained for. Three men ambushed them, handcuffed them, marched them into the empty pool at gunpoint, and held them hostage for hours, claiming the ropes around their necks were connected to explosives. This really happened.We also break down some genuinely unsettling ghost footage caught by employees at the Queen Mary, including a comment photo that had people in the replies reporting nausea.

The Willard Library in Evansville, Indiana is one of the most haunted buildings in America, and tonight we found out why. After hours, with the doors locked and the ghost cams rolling, we went looking for the legendary Gray Lady... and something started talking back.

What we captured in this investigation is some of the wildest spirit interaction we have ever documented. A child spirit begged us to spin and run with him through the stacks. A voice clearly told one of us to "SPIN FOR ME" in a whisper the whole live stream heard. And in the final moments, a spirit guided us straight to a Record of Death, page 30, and helped spell out the name of a child who died of cholera in Columbia, South Carolina in July of 1861.

Built in the late 1800s, the Willard Library was the dream of Willard Carpenter, who poured nearly his entire fortune into it and died before it ever opened. His wife passed just nine months later. Legend says his daughter Louise, furious at being left out of the will, never left the building at all. For over a century, staff, police, and visitors have reported the Gray Lady drifting through the genealogy department, a dark shadow figure no one can identify, and a playful child spirit who just wants someone to find him.

In this episode:The history of Willard Carpenter and the family curse behind the hauntingThe active staircase where the Gray Lady and a young boy have been seenThe genealogy floor and the famous shadow figure photographed by policeA solo sit in total darkness that pushed us to our limitThe "spin and run" game with a child spirit named BillyThe record of death moment that left the whole team speechless

This was one of the most intense and interactive nights of our entire run. Watch to the end. You will not believe the last ten minutes.

This week, Madison and Chris Soucy sit down with Cody and Satori, for a wide-ranging conversation about growing up in the paranormal, building a large collection of paranormal objects, and what over a decade of investigations has taught them about how spirits actually present themselves.

Satori, daughter of TAPS founder Jason Hawes, shares what it was like growing up with ghost hunting as a completely normal family affair. Cody talks about the childhood experience that launched him into the field and the wild, roundabout way he eventually made it onto the TAPS team anyway. Together they break down how their very different approaches, technical and intuitive, work together in the field, why barometric pressure might be one of the most underrated tools in paranormal investigation, and the investigation at the Thames Club in Connecticut that permanently changed the way Cody thinks about how spirits can appear.

They also talk about their haunted object museum, now home to more than 500 artifacts from around the world, how it started completely by accident, and why packages from strangers keep showing up at their door,

Plus, Cody and Satori announce upcoming events including an exhibition at the SK Pierce Mansion in Gardner, Massachusetts and the Gettysburg Bed of Field Bash this summer. And if you're local to Savannah, check out the benefit concert for our friend Tanner on June 23rd at Coastal Empire Beer Co. (doors at 6:30 PM, show at 7 PM, sliding scale $5 to $20).

We finally did the elementals episode. We kept saying "one day" and that day is here.

This one has three parts. -First, Parajunkie Alex sent in a photo from Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop in New Orleans and there are faces in the fire. Two of them. We get into why spirits show up in flames and what it actually means when they do.

-Then we go deep on elementals, where they come from, every culture that's named them, how powerful they actually are (hint: way more than people think), and why the little mermaid fits into all of this more than you'd expect.

-And last, Rick shares something we've genuinely never covered before. He was struck by lightning while fishing and it changed what he can see. His most recent photo was taken the night his wife passed away. We'll let him tell the rest.

-Coming up for Parajunkies on Patreon: live interview with Cody and Satori on June 16th at 6 PM EST. Satori is the daughter of Jason Hawes, one of the pioneers of paranormal television, and she and Cody have a lot going on in the paranormal world right now.

-Also dropping at the end of the month: the Willard Public Library investigation, Parajunkies get it first before it goes public in early July.

If you're new here, we're Madison, Chris, and JT, paranormal investigators living in Savannah, Georgia. Come hang out.

Like and subscribe if you want more, and drop a comment letting us know what you think about elementals. We could honestly do ten more episodes on this topic.

Welcome to the NEW set of The Most Haunted City on Earth... and it is giving haunted Cracker Barrel realness.

This week, Madison and Chris break the episode into segments and there's a lot to unpack!

First up: a viral video where a woman catches a mysterious man lurking behind her couch while she's home alone... and right as she panics, a closed door swings wide open on its own. Guardian angel? Residual energy responding to fear? You decide.

Then we dig into the South Carolina Lunatic Asylum. One of the oldest asylums in the country, opened in 1822, operating until 1996. Lobotomies, solitary confinement, overcrowding, a pellagra epidemic, a serial killer housed on a guarded floor... and now? It's luxury apartments.

We review the Babcock, and the reviews are... interesting.

Plus, stick around for Ghost Mail. Parajunkie Lindsay asks whether pendulums actually communicate with spirits or just reflect your own subconscious. Chris and Madison break it down.

New episodes every week.
