Spooky Season is here! Krys takes us to the Old West to lead off and does Bodie, CA. This ghost town is now a museum that is in a state of arrested decay. This town was one of the many boom towns that was prompted by what? Gold of course. Sticking to the Old West Tori tells us of the tale of the El Dorado Canyon Hell Dogs in Nevada. Once again gold sent in many people into a place where lawlessness may have created the Hell Dogs. Back to Krys and the Ceely Rose House in Lucas Ohio. Some true crime and ghostly things abound. Back to Tori and a taste of things to come with Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Y’all know the story and have seen the many iterations of this tale and who may reside in this creepy place. Welcome back to spooky season folks!

Krys is back! Tori gets a head start on spooky season by way of a cemetery in Salem! Howard Street Cemetery in Salem has a place in the Salem Witch Trials and was the site of the pressing death of Giles Corey. Krys tells the story of the Vulcan Hotel in New Zealand. This mining town is now the home to 10 living souls but some of the dead have stayed. Rosie, curling, a post office, and the school all play parts in this story. Tori rounds us off with the Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast. This was known as “Europe’s Alcatraz” but seems to have had more successful escapes than it’s US cousin. Haunted yes, but wanna get married here? They do that…

Krys regales us with the tale of the White River Light in Whitehall Michigan. This lighthouse is currently a maritime museum and not currently in service as a lighthouse. William Robinson was the keeper of the lighthouse and stayed with his family at the location. William was the lighthouse keeper until two weeks before his death when the keeper position was given to his grandson. Shipwrecks were found within the area and William seems to still be in residence at the lighthouse. It also lies within the Michigan Triangle, coincidence? I think not…Tori rounds it out with the tale of Mary King’s Close in Edinborough Scotland. This little slice of history is in the middle of Old Town Ediborough and gives insight into the lives of folks from 1645 to 1902 when the last tenant left. Tours still run to this day and has some extra visitors that make their presence know to this day. Oh and Krysti’s favorite type ghost shows up on the regular #ghostkidsarecreepy.

Tori starts off with a paranormal hotspot, the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. This is supposedly the most haunted place in the US. Unfortunately like a good majority of psychiatric hospitals, the institution was plagued with tragedies and abuse allegations. The amount of hauntings due to this history is astounding. Krysti tells us about why Hoosiers are weird and some odd goings on to settle a county seat. Leavenworth Indiana  was the county seat and was moved by force into English Indiana. County records and county officials were taken by force to the new county seat of English. Krys dipped into Angola, Indiana and its ghosts just for Tori. Because they got ghosts…

Back after a bit of a break Krys leads off strong with tales of McKinney Texas and some of it’s haunted hot spots. Starting with Buckner Cemetery aka O’Brien Cemetery, this place of burial was the spot of public executions and as well as a marketplace during said executions. The ghost of an indigenous person is said to haunt the spot. Next up the Celt Irish Pub and it’s famous poker playing outlaw Jesse James. This building has been through different stages and has some permanent residents. Chestnut Square Historic Village is our last stop in McKinney and this shows off the way of life from 1854-1920. This place has some of Krys’s favorite ghosts, kid ghosts. Tori comes in second with the tale of Deadwood, South Dakota. This wild west frontier town is in an area that proves once again, white people suck. This town was home to such notable figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, and Al Swearengen. These folks seem to be staying around for much longer than mortal years. Finishing up we have Mt. Moriah Cemetery because really? It’s Tori…

Tori heads back to Cleveland again for LakeView Cemetery on 12316 Euclid Ave. This privately owned cemetery was founded in 1869 and has several famous residents. Some of the folks interred here are James A. Garfield, John D Rockafeller, and the untouchable himself Eliot Ness. This is also the home to the Hauserot Angel statue. This statue is straight out of Doctor Who, literally a weeping angel. This boneyard is apparently the site of an epic chess game with tombstones as well. Cue the next LakeView Cemetery in Seattle Washington. This boneyard is the resting place of the epic Bruce and Brandon Lee, as well as the Nisei Monument, and the only Confederate Soldiers monument in the PNW. This is also the resting place of Princess Angeline a.k.a. Kikisoblu who was the daughter of Chief Sealth and her disappearing/ reappearing ghost. Krysti covers Liberty Hall in Frankfort, Kentucky. This was the home of Kentucky senator John Brown in 1801. Add in a vanishing opera singer, a dead soldier from the War of 1812, and a trope worthy Gray Lady. The soldier is a pervy ghost and the Gray Lady seems to be attributed to Margarette Varick. This historic house has ghost tours to this day, so if ever you find yourself in Frankfort, give them a look see.

Krysti starts off with another Central State Hospital but this one is in Kentucky. This is a current psychiatric hospital still  in operation in Anchorage Kentucky. This hospital soon became plagued with the unfortunate problems that seem to haunt  all old psych hospitals, overcrowding, abuse, and inhumane conditions. Cue some patient deaths, abuse investigations, and some shady “treatment” options and eventually the hospital had to change it’s ways, somewhat… Eventually this hospital had to change and the original buildings were demolished. This land became E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park. Apparently some of the former patients remain on these grounds to this day. From a unburied “sauerkraut” cave to small children spirits saying “mommy” this is still a spooky place to visit. Tori heads north from there to Cleveland Ohio and the Hans Tiedemann House a.k.a Franklin Castle. As one of the “most haunted places in America” this locale manages to end up on most haunted house lists out there. This home to the Tiedemann family saw loads of death within the first five years of it being built. After several deaths Hans sold his Victorian “castle” to the German Socialist Party in 1913. Cue some spy stories, Nazi tunnels, and bootleg booze, this was owned by the German Socialist Party until James Romano bought it in 1968. This family stayed for only 6 years before the “ghosts” drove them off. Add in fires, secret tunnels, human remains, and mysterious fires this place became notorious in the Midwest.

Tori leads off this week’s episode with the Ahwahnee Hotel. Taking it back to Yosemite State Park with the iconic Ahwahnee Hotel, this locale is a prime example of the NPS Rustic Parkitecture style.Due to the protected nature of the park, all building materials needed to be brought in to make it possible. Through all incarnations of this hotel, the park has always been the star of the show. And per usual with hotels of this age (opened in 1927) some guests never check out. The red elevators that Kubrick put in the Overlook were directly based of the elevators in the Ahwahnee as well. Tori did not forget to talk about the Fresno Nightcrawlers as well. Krys follows up with some true crime for y’all. The story of Wisconsin’s Poison Widow Myrtle Schaude with her family annilhilator tendencies is fascinating to this day. Her story and the subsequent deaths in her family makes you reconsider the “don’t take candy from strangers” adage. Sometimes taking candy from those you know is more deadly…
