Welcome back listeners!

We have a great episode for you this week which highlights the amazing changes to reform in the USA but also the hauntings in a very historic site.

Nestled in the heart of Chicago's Near West Side, Hull House stands as a testament to social reform and a beacon for the supernatural.

Established in 1889 by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, this historic settlement house provided refuge and support to immigrants and the underprivileged. However, beyond its philanthropic mission, Hull House has garnered a reputation as one of Chicago's most haunted locations, captivating the imaginations of locals and visitors alike.

Among the myriad of ghostly tales, the legend of the "Devil Baby" stands out. In 1913, stories emerged of a deformed infant with pointed ears, scales, and a tail, allegedly born to a local woman and hidden within Hull House. Despite Jane Addams' efforts to dispel the myth, throngs of curious onlookers flocked to the house, hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous child. This tale, deeply rooted in cultural and religious tensions of the time, continues to intrigue and unsettle.

Beyond the Devil Baby, Hull House is rife with reports of paranormal activity. Visitors and staff have recounted sightings of a "Lady in White," believed to be the spirit of Millicent Hull, the original owner's wife who died in the house. Others have reported unexplained footsteps, cold spots, and apparitions of children playing in the courtyard. These enduring legends contribute to Hull House's status as a focal point for ghost tours and paranormal investigations in Chicago.

Join us in this episode as we delve into the eerie history of Hull House, exploring the intersection of social activism and the supernatural. We'll unravel the stories that have cemented its place in Chicago's haunted lore, from the chilling legend of the Devil Baby to the spectral sightings that persist to this day.

Suggested by our listener Dave Man (thanks, Dave!), this episode dives into the chilling legend of Cortijo Jurado, an abandoned 19th-century mansion near Málaga, Spain. Often called “the Spanish Amityville”, this grand but decaying estate is infamous for satanic rituals, alleged torture chambers, and ghostly encounters.

Over the decades, Cortijo Jurado has gained a terrifying reputation as one of the most haunted places in Spain. Locals whisper about missing girls, dark rituals, and paranormal phenomena—from shadowy figures in windows to voices echoing through the empty halls.

Anne and Renata dig deep into the history, the hauntings, and the controversies. Is this just a case of gothic folklore run wild, or is there something truly sinister in the shadows?

🎙️ Listen now to uncover:

• Who lived at Cortijo Jurado and why they were suspected of horrific crimes
• Eyewitness stories of supernatural events at the mansion
• The fine line between Spanish urban legends and terrifying truth

Nestled high above the mighty Columbia River in Hood River, Oregon, stands a grand, ivy-clad hotel. To some, it’s a charming getaway wrapped in old-world elegance. But to others… it’s a gateway.

Welcome to the Columbia Gorge Hotel — a place where time seems to ripple, where ghostly whispers echo through the halls, and where guests have checked in… but haven’t always checked out.

Built in the 1920s, this historic hotel has hosted the elite, survived the Great Depression, and seen decades of change. But beneath its polished floors and roaring fireplaces lies a chilling energy that many visitors can feel… and some claim to have seen.

In this episode, we’ll explore the tragic tales of loss and longing that may still linger in the walls, the reported sightings of spirits wandering the corridors, and the legends that continue to haunt the Columbia Gorge Hotel.

So dim the lights, pour yourself something warm — or something stronger — and join me as we step inside one of the Pacific Northwest’s most haunted havens.

This… is the Columbia Gorge Hotel.

In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, nestled among rolling fields and tree-lined streets, stands a house with a past so dark it still sends shivers down the spines of those who dare to step inside. Over a century ago, in the dead of night, an unknown killer crept through its halls, wielding an axe, leaving behind a crime scene so brutal it remains one of America’s most infamous unsolved mysteries.

The house has stood ever since—its walls soaked in whispers of the past, its air thick with something that can’t quite be explained.

Who could have committed such a horrific act?

And why does the house seem to hold onto the echoes of that night, as if time never really moved forward?

Paranormal investigators, skeptics, and thrill-seekers alike have all reported strange occurrences—disembodied voices, shadowy figures, and an overwhelming sense of dread that lingers long after they leave. Some say the spirits of the murdered family are still trapped there, while others believe something far more sinister has taken root.

In this episode we’re unlocking the doors of the Villisca Axe Murder House, stepping back in time to relive the chilling events of June 10, 1912.

We’ll explore the gruesome crime, the baffling investigation, and the eerie hauntings that make this house one of the most terrifying places in America.

So dim the lights, listen closely, and prepare yourself—you may not be alone.

The Five Fishermen is a popular spot to grab a delicious meal in downtown Halifax, but the space it calls home wasn’t always a restaurant. In fact, in the early 1900s, the building was a mortuary and funeral home — one that housed victims from the Titanic and the Halifax Explosion. Believe me you will want to hear about the Halifax Explosion!

Could some of these poor, unfortunate souls have decided never to leave the building? Any regular visitor of The Five Fishermen would say that’s undeniably true. Patrons and staff claim to hear mysterious whispers, see glasses fly off shelves, and, on certain occasions, witness haunting apparitions sporting clothing from a bygone era — who are certainly not looking to make a reservation!

In this week’s episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we head to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada to find out whether the souls of the dead still hang around the Five Fishermen.

Who are they and what are they still doing there?

Let's find out!!

Kapunda, about 80 km north of Adelaide, is known as Australia’s first successful copper mining town. Established in the 1840s, it quickly became a booming settlement, attracting miners from around the world. But with prosperity came hardship and life in Kapunda’s mines was brutal. Poor working conditions, deadly accidents, and exhausted labourers created an atmosphere of suffering.

Some believe this is the root of Kapunda’s lingering hauntings.

The mines weren’t just dangerous; they were deadly. Many miners lost their lives due to accidents, collapses, and even illnesses caused by the toxic environment. And where there is suffering, some say there are spirits left behind."

"What makes Kapunda so haunted? Could it be it's dark colonial past, tragic deaths, or the stories of restless spirits that refuse to leave?

In this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we take you with us to find out some of the spookiest places in Kapunda, a township said to be one of the most haunted in Australia.

Hi and Welcome to the latest episode of the True Hauntings Podcast.

In this episode we go back the the days of mobsters, gangs, violence and corruption.

What's has changed you may well ask?!!

and Happy Valentine's Day Lovers - we picked this episode's topic just for you!

The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre stunned the world back in 1929 when news broke out about a brutal mass murder on Chicago's North Side.

During that time Chicago's streets were dominated by gang conflicts, with notorious mob boss Al Capone working to grab more power, by eliminating rivals involved in bootlegging, gambling, and prostitution.

This wave of violence reached a gruesome peak on February 14, 1929, in a garage on the city's North Side. Seven men linked to Irish gangster George “Bugs” Moran, one of Capone's long-standing adversaries, were gunned down by men disguised as police officers.

Could this act of violence leave an imprint so heavy that it is still felt almost 100 years later?

We look at Valentine’s Day from a paranormal perspective.

There seems to be a trail of ghosts and spooky activity that haunt the sites associated with the February 14th massacre in Chicago.

Let’s look into some of the history and the ghost stories and experiences people have had in the places where it happened and see if we can separate fact from fiction.

Craig-y-Nos Castle and grounds were once the estate of the celebrated opera diva Adelina Patti who during her lifetime (1843-1919) became one of the world's most famous and highly rewarded entertainers.

Later the Castle was turned into a Tuberculosis hospital and a place of recovery, for some, and death, for others.

This Welsh Castle, now a wedding venue, is situated in the most haunted and mountainous Brecon Beacons area in Wales where some of the most haunted places in the whole of the UK have been found.

In this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we look into the history of this Castle and of it's haunted mistress, the opera singer Adelina Patti.

We hope you enjoy this episode and share it with your friends.

Welcome to the True Hauntings Podcast with Anne and Renata

“Allow me to quote the facts to you, because you could not believe them if they were not confirmed to you by sufficient authority…

I never saw a more horrible spectacle!

The dislocated heads, the legs torn by the chains, the bodies streaked [with blood] from head to foot from whiplashes and sharp instruments…

when [the slaves] were discovered, they were already devoured by maggots.”

An excerpt from Carolyn Morrow Long’s book, Madame LaLaurie, Mistress of the Haunted House.

Situated at the corner of Royal Street and Governor Nicholls Street stands a notorious three-story antebellum mansion that has drawn the fascination of countless tourists, filmmakers, and even a Hollywood celebrity.

This stately Empire-style residence, located at 1140 Royal Street in New Orleans, was once the home of Delphine Macarty LaLaurie.

Widely regarded as one of the most haunted sites in the city, the mansion's dark history is tied to its infamous owner, a wealthy socialite described as a "demon in the guise of a woman" for her alleged acts of horrific cruelty toward enslaved individuals during her time there.

In this episode we are putting in a warning that it will contain historic information regarding treatment of the enslaved that may be too disturbing for some people.

Please continue listening to this episode at your own discretion as we head to the French Quarter in New Orleans to gather information about the truth behind the stories of the infamous La Laurie Mansion and Madame Delphine.

Was she as despicable as history has us believe?

We hope you enjoy this episode and share it with your friends.
