The Pandemonium Witches: Murders, Mystery, and Mayhem

The Pandemonium team is back for the season one finale, and this week Cat, Rachel, Em, and Meg journey to New Mexico - the number 1 state on our Haunted Road Trip top ten list. From haunted adobe homes and ghostly desert highways to chilling small-town legends and restless spirits in historic hotels, New Mexico proves that the Land of Enchantment has a dark side.

We explore eerie places, unsettling true crime stories, and local folklore that keeps the state at the top of our haunted list.

As we wrap up Season 1, join us for a deep dive into the shadows of New Mexico - where every canyon, adobe, and empty street holds a story waiting to be whispered.

Season 1 closes with ghosts that refuse to leave us and its visitors alone.

**NOTE: TPW Team was unable to edit the episode due to severe issues with riverside. Yes Trey, we know there's echoing, and yes we did try to fix it. We are so sorry but season 2 we will be back and better than ever!**

Love, The pandemonium team

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat are continuing their Haunted Road Trip with a stop in Indiana - ranked number 8 on our top 10 spookiest states. From the eerie halls of the West Baden Springs Hotel to the shadows of historic homes and the state’s darkest true crime cases, Indiana’s stories are as haunting as they are horrifying.

Ghosts linger in abandoned asylums, whispers echo along lonely roads, and some of the Hoosier State’s most chilling crimes leave a lasting mark.

Grab your coffee (and maybe a flashlight), because Indiana’s past is not for the faint of heart.

(if your wondering why there's a lack of photos, wifi hates Cat and wouldn't load for 2 days)
