There are a lot of unanswered questions or tales about these phenomenas. For thousands of years we have been told stories about haunted places and people. Today, we hear the same old tales and some new ones. The future will bring more stories not yet written about houses that are not yet haunted. Do you think ghosts exist?

I have experienced a haunting but I try to keep an open mind about haunting and ghosts. In this episode, I will be discussing haunted places like the Raymond Hall, Lizzie Borden House, Casa Loma, Tower of London, Winchester House and many other places. If you like haunted places or related stories, you will love this episode.
