  • Prison and a Visit From Stickers

    Send us Fan Mail


    We had guests this episode! The long awaited visit from Stickers and Chuck joined us as well. Tori regales us with the story of Alcatraz. She’s been keeping this one in her pocket for awhile folks. From the discovery of Alcatraces in 1775 by Juan Manuel de Ayala to the present day iteration as a national park. A military fort, military prison, prison, and then a place of protest from indigenous people, the Rock has seen much history. The prison’s prison, the Rock was used to get unruly prisoners from other prisons to behave. Through many escape attempts and famous prisoners, this has been ground zero for many legends and ghost stories. Krysti follows up with the answer to a question that was asked when Stickers got into town. “What is a Hoosier?” The answer is pick an answer, any answer. From asking “Who’s there?” at folks knocking on doors to river men beating the snot out of folks to “hush” them, there are too many answers to count. Most likely it’s because of “hill folk” from England.

    Hail, hail the gangs all here! Krysti leads off with the tale of Talbott Tavern in Kentucky. A whole host of famous folks stayed at this legendary inn. The amount of stories that stem from the history of this place is epic. You know when a place’s website has ghost tales that it’s gotta be good. Tori adds a little bonus about Mt. Hope cemetery which happens to be the resting place of Cole Porter. Apparently it happens to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in Indiana. Malcolm follows up with Norwich England which happens to be one of the most haunted cities in the world. Apparently 49% of people polled in Norwich have claimed to have had a supernatural experience. Malcolm regales us with his top 8 stories from the town of Norwich. Tori closes us out with the Tunnelton Tunnel in Indiana and it’s plethora of urban legends that are still told to this day. Happy B-Day Tori!

  • Rocky Mountain Stuff and A Guy Who Made Wine

    Send us Fan Mail

    Happy bday to Tori and the start of the bday episodes, completely including wine of course. Tori tells the story of Cheesman Park in Denver and it started as you guessed it, a cemetery. Mt. Prospect Cemetery was established after a claim jump started Denver. After many steps, all of which equal “You want ghosts? Because that’s how you get ghosts!” the cemeteries resting souls have either been moved or remain beneath the public park to this day. Krysti covers McPike Mansion in Alton Illinois. Krysti covered this for Tori’s bday because fangirl time…Troy Taylor. One of the most haunted houses in Alton, this is a destination for most ghost hunters. We discover that Malcom will not be visiting the haunted wine cellar and Krysti’s favorite type of hauntings are here, kid ghosts. Also Malcom is not a fan of darkroom sessions, at all.

  • The Wild West and Another Hitchhiking Ghost

    Send us Fan Mail

    Tori leads off with Tombstone, Arizona and a couple of the locations in the city itself. The Birdcage Theater is one of the most haunted spots in the town and draws patrons to this day. The beginnings of this legendary town is firmly entrenched in the US’s collective psyche. And of course Tori had to cover Boothill Cemetery because, cemetery. Krys follows up with the tale of Reeder Road right back in our home state. This road has seen tragedy and legend of all sorts. And of course the trope of the hitchhiking ghost. She follows up with the tale of the Wort Hotel in Jackson Wyoming. Fires, murders, and very helpful ghosts happen to be in residence. The amount of tales from this stretch of road is impressive. Tori follows up with a blurb of an abandoned amusement park in Japan and the fact that time seemed to miss it completely.

  • Beans and Battlefields

    Send us Fan Mail

    Krysti opens up this episode with the Green Children of Woolpit and their arrival in Suffolk. Apparently green children that show up out of nowhere should be offered fava beans for food. Fae? Children from another country? And this one is the best, not saying it was aliens, but it was the aliens! (Best part of this it was from Krysti’s corner this time.) The opinions/various origin stories for this are varied and weird. Tori went after another piece off US history, Shiloh. The site of a key Civil battle this land still remembers what has happened in it’s past. This remains one of the bloodiest battle sites in the US. From several key mistakes this battle was won by the Union Army, even Ohio showing up late worked in their favor.

  • The Crossroads Where Cemeteries and Baseball Players Meet

    Send us Fan Mail

    This episode started off fantastic with too many tangents. Tori  leads off with Union Cemetery in Easton CT. In this cemetery we have the basic chick of ghosts, the white lady who has a penchant for throwing herself in front cars. We also have another guy that died by burning alive. Westminster Hall and Burying Ground in Baltimore, MD. This cemetery is the final resting place of Edgar Alan Poe. We have a story of a screaming skull that screams at the same time each night. Krys follows up with Ted Williams and his strange final resting place. This badass baseball player set records that still stand to this day. Ted Williams is one of the few humans on the planet whose remains are frozen. This apparently created conflict within his family. His son passed away and is in the same facility. The Beastie Boys make an appearance in this episode.

  • Shoe Fort

    Send us Fan Mail

    Krys starts us up with the Bristol Opera House and it’s ghost vortex. Ghost tours, a supernatural researcher, and superstitions abound at this location. So many ghosts and we need to go there. Next up was the story that Krysti was drooling over for quite awhile, the Shoe of Shoes. The Brown Shoe company introduced many things to the US shoe game. Buster Brown was well known and that Shoe of Shoes. Artist Victoria Fuller brought us this epic sculpture in St.Louis. Tori follows up with a little known bit of history, the story of Fort Mifflin. Through the start of US history this Fort has stood the test of times and remains as a representation of our struggles. This little island has gone through many changes and many a soldiers last stop. And more ghosts! As one of the most haunted places in the country, they have capitalized on this and have several paranormal tours and investigations. From the Faceless Man to the Screaming Lady, #wegotghosts
