In this episode of Ghostly Podcast, we head to rural Coles County, Illinois to explore the haunted history and chilling paranormal activity reported at Ashmore Estates. Originally part of the Coles County Poor Farm in the late 1800s, Ashmore later became a psychiatric hospital before closing for good in 1986. With documented deaths, an on-site cemetery, and decades of neglect, many believe the spirits of former residents still linger within the building.  A Brief History Poor farm established in 1870, housing the impoverished and mentally ill 32 recorded deaths between 1870–1879 A cemetery built on-site due to high mortality Current structure built in 1916 Psychiatric hospital operations ended in 1986 Reported Paranormal Activity Visitors and investigators have reported: Shadow figures in hallways and stairwells Voices calling out names Sudden cold spots Objects moving or flying Physical encounters including touches, scratches, and being shoved Ashmore is often described as a place that responds to those inside it. The Spirit of Elva Skinner One of the most well-known spirits associated with Ashmore is Elva Skinner, a young child believed to have died in a fire in the original almshouse in the 1880s. Reports include childlike footsteps, whispers, laughter, and small hands tugging at clothing. The Basement & Boiler Room The basement—especially the boiler room—is considered the most intense area of activity. Visitors report aggressive encounters, loud bangs, heavy footsteps, and even being knocked to the ground by an unseen force. Listen now: GhostlyPodcast.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

New Year’s Predictions 2026: Automatic Writing, Scrying & Tarot Guest: Jacob Mayfield As we step across the threshold into 2026, Ghostly Podcast looks to the other side—using ancient divination practices to glimpse what the coming year may hold. For our annual New Year’s Predictions episode, we’re joined by Jacob Mayfield, who helps guide us through three forms of divination: Automatic Writing, Crystal Ball Scrying, and Tarot. This episode is part ritual, part experiment, and part prediction. Two of the divinations -Automatic Writing and Scrying – are interactive, meaning you can follow along and try them yourself at home as we do them in real time. Join Ghostly Society on Facebook or Patreon to see our results. Will the messages be symbolic? Psychological? Paranormal? Or something else entirely? That’s for you to decide. Divination #1: Automatic Writing We begin with Automatic Writing, a practice said to allow messages to flow from the subconscious—or possibly from something beyond—without conscious control. Listeners are invited to: ·        Set an intention for 2026 ·        Quiet their mind ·        Write continuously without editing or judgment As we write alongside you, we interpret the messages that emerge and discuss what they may reveal about themes, warnings, and opportunities in the year ahead. Divination #2: Crystal Ball Scrying Next, we turn to scrying with a crystal ball, one of the most iconic and misunderstood forms of divination. Together, we: ·        Explain how to prepare your space ·        Describe what to look for (and what not to look for) ·        Share what we personally experience during the scrying session Shadows, symbols, impressions, and mental imagery all come into play as we explore what 2026 may bring on a collective level. Divination #3: Tarot Reading Finally, we close with a Tarot reading for 2026, offering a structured look at the energies shaping the year ahead. The cards reveal: ·        Major themes and challenges ·        Areas of growth and transformation ·        Advice for navigating what’s coming We discuss the symbolism of each card and how it may apply broadly—or very personally—depending on the listener. Participate or Just Listen About our Guest Jacob Mayfield joins us for this episode to lend insight, interpretation, and grounded discussion as we explore these divination practices and what they might reveal about the year ahead. Jacob is “passionate about all things mystical, especially Tarot and Palm reading…[combining] traditional methods of divination and fortune-telling with a contemporary perspective.” What Do You See? Are these predictions glimpses of the future, reflections of the present, or something more mysterious? Listen, participate, and decide for yourself.

In this episode of Ghostly, we explore the dark history and chilling ghost stories surrounding New Jersey’s Ringwood Mine and Ringwood Manor. From centuries-old mining tragedies to lantern-lit apparitions wandering the woods, Ringwood remains one of the state’s most active paranormal locations. History of Ringwood Iron mining in Ringwood began in the 1740s and eventually reached nearly 2,000 feet underground. Dangerous working conditions and numerous accidents left a long history of tragedy. During the Revolutionary War, the mines were operated by Robert Erskine, Washington’s surveyor general—whose spirit is said to linger to this day. Hauntings & Evidence The Hand in the Water – Archaeologist Edward Lenik reported seeing a pale hand and arm rise from a flooded mine shaft on Hope Mountain before being pulled back beneath the surface. The Knocking Ghost – Miners heard mysterious knocking sounds deep underground, always before an accident. Some believed it was a protective warning; others said a dead miner was calling for “company.” Robert Erskine’s Lantern – After Erskine’s crypt deteriorated, locals claimed to see his apparition—and even his skeleton—walking between the grave and Ringwood Manor, carrying a glowing blue lantern. Blue Lights in the Manor – Visitors have reported glowing blue figures, cold spots, disembodied voices, and footsteps inside the manor, believed by some to be Erskine or a later resident. A Modern Encounter – A local historian working late in the manor witnessed a translucent figure by the window holding a faintly glowing lantern, vanishing moments later.

Beneath the quiet town of Ogdensburg, New Jersey, lies the Sterling Hill Mine, a labyrinth of tunnels stretching deep into the earth—and, some say, into the afterlife. With more than 77 recorded deaths and countless stories of strange lights, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures, this mine has earned a chilling reputation as one of New Jersey’s most haunted places. In this episode of Ghostly Podcast, Pat and Rebecca descend into the darkness to explore the legends and evidence behind the hauntings of Sterling Hill. From the ghostly miner known as Bicycle Pete to whispers caught on EVP deep in the tunnels, the spirits of Sterling Hill seem determined to make their presence known. Will you believe the hauntings are real—or just echoes of the past trapped in stone? Evidence Discussed ·        Whispered voices recorded in the tunnels saying “I’m scared.” ·        Apparition of “Bicycle Pete”, seen pedaling near the mine long after his death. ·        Shadow figure and ghostly push in the old dynamite storage room. ·        Dark shape by the elevator shaft, where miners once descended to their deaths. ·        Residual energy—flickering lights, cold spots, and phantom footsteps thought to be miners still working below.

John Lennon’s death shocked the world — but for some, it seems his spirit never left. In this episode of Ghostly, we explore reports that Lennon’s ghost still lingers at the Dakota Apartments in New York City, where he was tragically murdered in 1980. From glowing apparitions in the archway to the sound of phantom piano music, believers claim Lennon continues to send messages of peace from beyond the grave. Pat and Rebecca dig into the evidence, including sightings by Dakota residents, Yoko Ono’s own experiences, and even a few mysterious recording studio stories from Paul McCartney. Could these encounters mean Lennon is still trying to communicate—or are they simply echoes of grief, memory, and fame? Stories & Evidence Discussed Residents of the Dakota reporting a glowing figure of Lennon standing in the archway where he died. Yoko Ono’s claim that she saw John sitting at the piano, telling her, “Don’t be afraid, I am still with you.” Paul McCartney’s studio account of strange noises and equipment malfunctions while finishing “Free As a Bird.” Julian Lennon’s story of the white feather—a symbol his father promised to send from the afterlife. In This Episode Rebecca shares the haunting accounts and emotional side of Lennon’s afterlife legacy. Pat questions whether these experiences point to a ghostly presence or the powerful impact of collective memory. Together, they debate: Is John Lennon truly haunting the Dakota, or are we just hearing the final notes of his legend?

Does Joan Crawford Haunt this Earth? In this episode of Ghostly, Pat and Rebecca explore one of Tinseltown’s most unsettling legends: the ghost of Joan Crawford and her Brentwood mansion. After Joan’s death, the house became infamous for spontaneous fires, ghostly cries, and cold spots that never seemed to fade. Some say it’s Joan herself, unable to let go of the home she built. Others believe it’s something darker — an energy that fed on her turmoil and fame. Joan Crawford’s daughter, Christina, claimed the home was haunted even during her childhood. She described unseen figures, icy rooms, and strange sounds from behind the walls. Later owners reported walls bursting into blue flame with no source of ignition, baffling firefighters and paranormal investigators alike. So, was this a case of Hollywood hysteria… or a genuine haunting left behind by one of its biggest stars? Episode Highlights The ghostly evidence from Joan Crawford’s home Christina Crawford’s chilling memories and what she saw as a child Theories about spontaneous combustion and spiritual energy How trauma, fame, and obsession might fuel a haunting And in a special side segment — a quick trip to Poland for a dance with the Polish Disco Demon, a spirit said to be powered by rhythm, light, and emotion. Could energy and music explain hauntings like Joan’s?

Does Lucille Ball Haunt this Earth?  Was Lucille Ball’s comedic spark so strong that it refused to fade, even after death? In this episode, Ghostly explores the haunted legacy of America’s favorite redhead and the eerie reports that suggest Lucy never really left the stage. From her Beverly Hills home on Roxbury Drive to her old offices at Paramount Studios, witnesses claim to have seen and heard signs that Lucille’s playful energy still lingers. Furniture moves on its own, mysterious voices echo from empty attics, and the faint scent of her favorite floral perfume drifts through darkened hallways. Even the I Love Lucy theme song has been heard playing from nowhere at all. Rebecca shares five chilling tales of Lucille Ball’s ghostly presence and reads a first-person story inspired by one of the most famous sightings—the “Redhead at the Fence.” Pat weighs in with his skeptical take: is it truly Lucy’s spirit, or just the powerful memory of an icon who made the world laugh for generations?

Is Fort Warren in Boston Haunted?  Fort Warren’s massive stone walls have guarded Boston Harbor since the Civil War—but they may also hold Boston’s most famous ghost. Discover the legend of the Lady in Black, hear the ghost stories and haunted history of Georges Island, and decide if this Civil War fort is truly haunted. Vote now at ghostlypodcast.com/polls. Fort Warren, perched on Georges Island in Boston Harbor, has stood guard since the Civil War—first as a fortress, then as a prison, and now as a historic landmark. But beneath its impressive stone walls lies a legend that refuses to fade: the tragic tale of Melanie Lanier, better known as the Lady in Black. According to the story, Melanie braved the icy waters and the risk of execution to free her Confederate husband from the Union prison at Fort Warren. But her daring rescue ended in heartbreak—and her own death—leaving her spirit to roam the fort in search of the man she lost. Over the years, soldiers, rangers, and visitors have reported shadowy figures in uniform, phantom footsteps that begin and end in the snow, music with no source, and the scent of vintage perfume drifting through the tunnels. Other ghostly encounters include heavy stones rolling across empty rooms, footprints in fresh snow that appear from nowhere and vanish the same way, and sightings of shadowy Civil War soldiers patrolling the island’s tree line. But the most chilling accounts are of the Lady in Black herself—standing atop the fort’s entrance arch, chasing soldiers from their posts, and wandering the dark corridors with her lantern. Is the Lady in Black still walking the dark corridors, lantern in hand? Or are these sightings nothing more than stories carried on the harbor wind? Join us as we explore the history, the hauntings, and the evidence—and then you decide: is Fort Warren truly haunted?

Is the William Kehoe House in Savannah Haunted? In this episode of Ghostly, we are talking about the William Kehoe House, one of the most stunning locations in Savannah, GA. Built in 1892 by iron magnate William Kehoe, this grand home has seen decades of family life, tragedy, and even a stint as a funeral home. Today, it’s one of Savannah’s most luxurious bed and breakfasts… and one of its most paranormally active. In this episode of Ghostly, we explore the ghost stories and legends that surround the Kehoe House: Are the ghosts of William and Anne Kehoe still keeping watch over their home? What’s behind the sounds of giggling children and little feet running down the halls when no children are allowed to stay? Who, or what, is causing the unexplained touches and whispers reported by countless guests? Could the building’s funeral home history still be echoing through the decades? And is there any truth to the persistent legend of the “chimney twins”? Join us as we break down the evidence, share chilling first-hand accounts, and debate whether the Kehoe House is truly one of Savannah’s most haunted places.

Is White House Haunted by Ghosts Related to the War of 1812? In this episode of Ghostly, we turn our attention to one of the most famous buildings in the world—The White House—and its mysterious connection to the War of 1812. When British troops set fire to the President’s House in 1814, they may have left behind more than just smoke and ashes. We explore the ghostly legends that have lingered for over two centuries: the spirit of Dolley Madison, fiercely guarding her beloved Rose Garden… phantom British redcoats silently marching the North Lawn… and the terrifying figure known as the British Fire Starter, a disfigured officer seen striking phantom matches near the West Wing. Are these spirits echoes of one of the darkest moments in Washington’s history? Or are they just ghost stories born from a nation’s trauma? Join Pat and Rebecca as they debate the evidence, question the sightings, and uncover the spectral remains of the White House’s fiery past. In This Episode: The true story of the 1814 burning of the White House The legend of Dolley Madison’s ghost in the Rose Garden Chilling sightings of British soldiers in red coats The haunting mystery of the British Fire Starter Strange reports of burning smells in the Lincoln Bedroom Listen now to uncover the secrets of White House Ghosts—and decide for yourself: are these hauntings real?
