And our group was one of the few that were allowed to do an official paranormal investigation there!
In this episode, the first of two parts, Krista, Kurt, and their fellow ghosthunting team members Mark and Rhonda Zahn look at the history of St. Nazianz and JFK Prep and separate fact from fiction.

*NOTE* - This is a Side Sessions preview! It was recorded last year and was previously only available for our Ko-Fi subscribers. Krista and Kurt will be back in two weeks with a new episode!
One of the biggest movie hits of 1981 was a star-studded action/adventure/comedy called "The Cannonball Run", about an illegal road race from New York to California for a million dollar prize.
What some people don't know is that the movie was based on a real-life series of crazy cross-country races that were held in the 1970's. And people today are still at it, trying to break the records for the fastest time.
In this episode, Krista and Kurt look at the awesome story of the “Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash”!
