Buckle up, Pandemonium listeners - the Haunted ABC’s Road Trip is rolling into The Crunchy State itself: Arkansas! This week, Meg, Rachel, and Cat are diving into the eerie and chaotic corners of this Southern state’s haunted past - where the ghosts are loud, the doctors are deranged, but the basements? Those are full of bad decisions.

From horsewhipping and haunted orphanages to floating lights, children’s souls, and mysterious purple houses, this episode has it all - including a few lobotomies you definitely didn’t ask for.

Join us as we unpack Arkansas’s dark history, strange spirits, and the unsolved horrors still lingering in the Ozarks and beyond.

Warning: This episode includes discussions of death, medical malpractice, and violence involving children. Listener discretion is advised.

The Pandemonium crew is back and diving headfirst into another wildly unhinged tale - this time, we’re heading to 1940s Canada for a story packed with murder (duh), rushed weddings, codeine-laced tea, and a suspiciously scenic cabin in the woods.

Join Rachel, Cat, and Josh as they unravel the twisted case of Christina Kettlewell - better known as The Eight Day Bride - and her entanglement with new husband John Ray Kettlewell and their ever-present best man, Ronald "Ronnie" Barrie.

From the get-go, this bizarre love triangle raises more questions than answers:

Was it love?

Was it murder?

Was it something else entirely?

With plenty of mystery, questionable motives, and just enough chaos to make you side-eye every honeymoon cabin forever, this episode is not one to miss.

Warning: Discussions include death, mental health, drug use, and sexuality. Listener discretion is advised.

The Pandemonium crew is back and more unhinged than ever!

In this episode, Rachel, Cat, and Cat’s husband Josh wade into the dark, blood-chilling history of Lake Lanier - a place as infamous for its eerie drownings as it is for the town buried beneath it.

We’re talking murder (obviously), shady construction, submerged cemeteries, rampant racism, and a disturbing number of false police reports.

What was once the thriving Black community of Oscarville became a drowned graveyard - and the lake above it now seems to thirst for lives.

From ghost stories to lynching to the curse people swear still lingers, we’re pulling back the murky waters to reveal a past some would rather forget.

Warning: This episode contains discussions of racial violence and death. Listener discretion is advised.
