For our final episode of the season, we limp our way across the Atlantic to Chillingham Castle, a medieval fortress that spent centuries collecting war trauma like it was a hobby. Sitting on one of the most violently contested borders in British history, this place didn’t need ghosts to become unsettling, the documented history already chose violence.  We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Our lives have been as chaotic as this location. We mind travel to California (not Tennessee) to talk about the infamous Winchester House. It's massive and confusing floorplan was a strange comfort to your two hosts who have all but lost their minds toward the end of this season. The house's foundations are supposedly built on spirit stories. But what is other worldly and what is just weird? We try to find the line but dammit, the staircase to nowhere keeps getting us.

Hey there! We're not making excuses, we'll go to podcast jail. Or at least, we'll talk about a jail on this podcast. Old Idaho Penitentiary was an awful place full of dangerous inmates. Is it any surprise it's reportedly haunted? We talk about some of the ghosts who are still locked up in there as well as some throw back ghost movies.  We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Happy Halloween! In honor of FOUR years of Ghosts and Ghouls we decided to take a trip to Salem and get a little witchy. We talk about The Witch house, supposedly haunted and with a family curse. We discuss horoscopes, folklore, and get confused about our own personal history. If this episode sounds a little like frankenstien's monster bear with us, Kristen helped in editing again.  We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Pop Quiz: What's the Capital of Delaware? It's okay, we didn't know either, and it isn't Delaware City. But that is whereabouts Fort Delaware is with all the ghosts of pirates and soldiers past. It's on an adorably named island but has a rough history. We find out who actually died there, listen to some screaming, and realize Kristen doesn't remember anything about the last 134 episodes.

Brrrr it's cold in here, must be some ice crusted spirits in the atmosphere! Anyway, we're in Idaho talking about a very cool (heh) location called the Shoshone Ice Caves. Apparently the spirit of an Native American Princess was trapped there when she was buried in the caves. Now she's begging to get out. Or is she? We also talk about big bears and small cannibal dwarves. Oh, and Kristen's crush on the Jersey Devil.  We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

If you’re a long time listener you’ll know that we usually take an annual pilgrimage to one of the most haunted cities in the US. This year is no different! We headed to Savannah, GA this episode but with a twist. We drove just a little further to take a ghost tour in Tybee Island. We talked ghosts, aliens, cryptids, and heard some terrible karaoke. But is Tybee Haunted enough for a ghost tour? Decide for yourself! We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Shhh! Keep your voice down, this is a library. Or at least this is an episode about the Hutchinson Public Library. A haunted one at that though it seems like there is a little bit of main character syndrome going on with the ghost. Seems like the librarian who worked here couldn't keep away for long, even in death. We love libraries even if they aren't haunted like the Hutchinson supposedly is.

It's a night at the museum, but one about mental health, not mentalist like Kristen may have thought. We've got a potential new Bingo game in the making so make sure you make a note of our favorite disease this episode. Other than that we have replicas, EVPs, and a lot of undigested metals. Sounds weird? For us too.  We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

We're back! To kick off season 5, we’re heading to Monte Cristo Homestead. An elegant Victorian manor in New South Wales with a not so elegant past. There’s a wealthy railway tycoon, a reclusive widow, some very dead chickens, and allegedly a stable boy who slept through a fire.    We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and Spotify!

Boo! Did we scare you with our chaotic posting schedule? Never fear, we haven’t ghosted you. This week we are clicking our heels three times to end up in Kansas where a paranormal investigator and seeming skeptic Becky provided Kristen with all the tea. Treasure, buried in the back yard bodies, mystery pictures. This place has everything except maybe facts to back it up?
