How fitting that it is Hoa Hoa Hoa season and we are talking about the Hoia-Baciu Forest in Romania! Get it, vampires? Twilight? You’ll get it when you listen because this place has an eery meadow. Is glittery skin involved? Not exactly but we have some flashing orbs and vanishing little girls who come back years later suspiciously unaged. Throw in some aliens and we basically have the sequel no one asked for. So buckle up!  We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

This week, we are heading to West Virginia and not for a relaxing mountain getaway. We are going to prison. Specifically the West Virginia Penitentiary. We have tiny cells, massive riots, and an electric chair built by an inmate because apparently that was a job you could have. We even have a brief Charles Manson appearance.

Happy First Official Day of Fall! What better way to celebrate than talking about a cursed ghost town? We are in Connecticut which seems fitting since all things Autumn are now connected to that state thanks to the Gilmore Girls. But we are actually talking about the Dudley family. Less fast talking and coffee loving, more creepy woods and suspicious death stories. We even have a throwback to London Tower! All of this to put you in the mood for the autumn cool down.  We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. Two psychic brothers hold a seance in a ski club. No? Well great, this week we discuss the former home of the Eddy brothers. Mediums that captivated Vermont and put Chitteden on the map as Spirit Capital of the Universe. Yes, the universe. But was it all smoke and mirrors or were the two the real deal? And did they leave anything behind for those now using the home as a getaway? Let’s find out together!

This week, we’re heading to Hawaiʻi’s ʻIolani Palace, where more than a century of history has left behind some seriously spooky stories. We have apparitions, a cigar loving queen, and one ghost who apparently knows a thing or two about losing his head… We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Episode two and we are already international! We are talking about The Forbidden City in China this week where we learn about ghost culture in China, get a history lesson in Dynasties, and - you'll never believe it- a woman in black. She travels all over the world! I'd have a snappy remark about something hilarious we probably said in this episode but honestly, I cannot remember a thing we said. I'll listen with ya'll and get back to you! Until then, enjoy this weeks episode! We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Hey, how ya'll doin? Sorry we ghosted you in season Six. The spring was a lot. The summer was more. But now we are back! Kicking season 7 with some hot historical goss coming from the Rockcliffe Mansion in Missouri. We've got affairs and scandal and histor-tea galore with this one. Along with a former owner who just refuses to move out, even in the afterlife. We are so happy to talk ghosts and gossip with you all again! Here's to a fantastic fall season!

Pack your bags, we’re heading to Cape Town. The views are gorgeous, the history is messy, and the castle looks way too cheerful for what went down inside. We’ve got colonial drama, questionable decisions, a dungeon called the Dark Hole (subtle), and a governor who may have been taken out by karma mid-power trip.

Into the woods, it's time to go! Well actually the Black Forest. One of the most mysterious and mythical places in the world as far as we are concerned. We have moss women, headless horsemen, a terrifyingly tall man, and of course poor pronunciation and bad geography. Germany has some fascinating paranormal and cryptid tales lurking in those trees.  We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Today’s episode features a short marriage, a suspicious death, a doctor who wrote “everlasting faint” on a death certificate, and a murder trial that took a wild turn. We’re heading to Greenbrier County, West Virginia, where the history is dramatic, the investigation is questionable, and this story somehow ends up involving an exhumation, a courtroom, and a situation that no one saw coming.

Brown lady, Brown lady, what do you see? I see a Colonel shooting at me! Where exactly? You're not in Kansas Dorothy (that's the ghost btw), you're in  Raynham Hall in Norfolk England! Where the ghost is active, the men are gross, and the history goes way back. Do we know how to pronounce things? Not really. Do we figure out roman numerals? Eventually! We're trying our best. So sit back, close your eyes, and astral project into this location with us! We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

This week we’re heading to Florida and taking the elevator down into the history of the Sunland Training Center. A place that started with hopeful intentions, but somewhere along the way the whole system seemed to drop a few floors. Today the buildings are mostly gone, but rumors still have a way of rising back up. We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

We are back with season six! Thanks for letting us take a break, we're ready to jump back into the ghost tour trolley. Metaphorically. This week we talk about McRaven Mansion in Mississippi. We have a lot of owners haunting this place from a highway man, to a former lady of the house, and maybe a whole family? We also have a murder, neck beards to discuss, and of course Civil War lore.

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!
