#lizzieborden #haunting Join the Parajunkie Fam for ZERO ADS on all episodes! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcast In 1799, a voice started rising from the cellar of a farmhouse on Taunton Bay in Sullivan, Maine. It said it was Nellie Butler, a young woman who had died in childbirth three years earlier. Over the next year, more than 100 people said they heard her, and dozens said they saw her fully formed. She preached, she called out the skeptics by name, and she tried to arrange her widower's next marriage.Madison and Chris dig into what's been called America's first ghost. They cover the eyewitness accounts Reverend Abraham Cummings collected, the 48 townspeople who followed a specter across town, and a prophecy that came true. Was it really Nellie? A demon wearing her face? Mass hysteria? Or something that badly wanted to be born?Also in this episode: an accidental ghost hunt in a historic Brunswick courthouse, a Phantom Fact about the man buried in a Pringles can (and Cincinnati's flying pigs), and Chris's night at the Lizzie Borden House, where the Estes Method caught a thief red-handed.This one was recorded live with our Para Junkies. You can join the family on Patreon (Haunted City Podcast) to catch live recordings and see the Brunswick courthouse photos.Next episode kicks off our Halloween series: the real-life stories behind the Universal Monsters.Stay spooky, y'all.

#poltergeist #truehaunting Join The Parajunkie Family on Patreon! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastOne of the most violent and strangely overlooked poltergeist cases in American history happened right here in Georgia.In 1872, the Surrency family’s quiet farmhouse suddenly erupted into chaos. Objects appeared from nowhere. Glass shattered. Furniture moved on its own. Scalding food was hurled across the dinner table. Knives, bricks, shoes, and household objects flew through the air, and eventually the activity became terrifyingly physical.The haunting attracted reporters, investigators, and hundreds of curious visitors, with witnesses claiming to see the unexplained activity firsthand. Despite the extraordinary attention it received at the time, the Surrency Poltergeist somehow faded from paranormal history.This week, we’re digging into the bizarre documented accounts, the increasingly violent attacks on the family, the theories surrounding what caused it, and why a case this extreme is not mentioned alongside America’s most famous hauntings.PLUS: a new paranormal video from the Savannah Paranormal Museum and the debut of our newest segment, Phantom Fact, featuring the surprisingly paranormal origin story of chiropractic medicine.Cut the lights, turn the volume up, and stay spooky, y’all. 👻Submit your personal ghost stories for a chance to be read on the show!

Her husband and son took pickaxes to the concrete and poured a new floor over it. Two weeks later, the face came back.Chris is home from Edinburgh, the trio is back together, and Madison takes us to Belmez de la Moraleda, a farming town of about 1,500 people in southern Spain, for one of the most investigated paranormal cases in history. Las Caras de Belmez. The Faces of Belmez.It started with Maria Gomez Camara, 52 years old, no interest in attention, who assumed she was seeing things because she had a slight fever. When the stain would not scrub out, the family destroyed the floor. When the face came back on September 8, 1971, the town found out, and secrets do not last long in a place that size. Neighbors started calling it La Casa de las Caras, the House of Faces, and people started showing up.Send us your personal ghost stories by emailing [email protected]#BelmezFaces #LasCarasDeBelmez #Spain #Paranormal #GhostStories #Thoughtography #HansBender #Parapsychology #UnexplainedMysteries #HauntedCityPodcast #SavannahGhosts #GhostsCaughtOnCamera #HauntedHouse

His belongings were bought up and incinerated at a landfill in Illinois. His body was cremated, and a judge ordered his brain cremated too. There is no grave, no relic, no address. And yet people claim he haunts at least eight different places. Chris is still across the pond, so our much loved editor DeBria is back on the show, which means today's episode leans a little more true crime than usual. Madison walks through every location tied to Dahmer hauntings and lays out what actually happened at each one, what people report experiencing there, and which ones hold up.

Six months later, she solved her own case from beyond the grave. Madison and Chris get into the case of Teresita Basa, a 48 year old respiratory therapist from the Philippines who was found in her 15th floor Lincoln Park apartment with a butcher knife in her chest and a burning mattress over her body. Her clothes were scattered to stage a crime that the autopsy later ruled never happened. Her belongings burned. Her one clue was a handwritten note that read "get theater tickets for A.S." Nobody at Edgewater Hospital knew who A.S. was. She had no enemies. The case went cold almost immediately. Then in August of 1977, a doctor named Jose Chua called the Chicago police to report something he was terrified to say out loud. His wife Remy had been slipping into trances and speaking in Tagalog in a voice that was not her own. "Doctor, I would like to ask for your help. The man who murdered me is still at large." When they asked who was speaking, the answer was Teresita Basa. This is a judgment free circle. Your experiences matter, your questions are welcome, and the weird is normal.

Join us on Patreon! It's the best way to support this podcast! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastThere is a town in West Virginia called Booger Hole, and people kept disappearing from it.In the final episode of Haunted South, Madison and Chris head into Southern Appalachia for three stories out of Tennessee, North Carolina, and West Virginia. Dark woods, old rules, and a mountain range where the folklore is not decoration. It is instruction.First up: the Buckner Witch. Around 1865, a small woman named Polly Brewington arrived in Standing Stone, Tennessee, dressed head to toe in black. She took a job as housemaid for the Buckner family, fell for Alex Buckner, and then things went sideways in a way that is genuinely hard to believe. Climbing into their bed at night. Ripping the covers off. Having her brothers corner Margaret Buckner in an alley. She was finally banished, and she died not long after under circumstances no record can explain. In the middle of her son's second birthday party, Margaret Buckner went blank, stared into the distance, and announced, "Polly Brewington is dead and now she comes to torment me." Nobody could ever explain how she knew.Polly never left. Margaret spent the rest of her life swinging brooms and later a cane at a woman in black who kept showing up in her house, in her bedroom, and eventually at her own funeral.Then we head to Roan Mountain on the Tennessee and North Carolina line, where people have been hearing a choir in the wind since the 1700s. Some hear angels rehearsing for Judgment Day. Others hear screaming. We get into the Cloudland Hotel, the white line painted down the middle of the dining room to separate legal liquor from illegal liquor, the geologist who described a sound like a thousand bees, and the young man who took shelter in a cave during a thunderstorm and came out with his clothes bleached white.And then Booger Hole. Clay County, West Virginia. A stonemason vanished in 1883 carrying 300 dollars. A watchmaker vanished from the schoolhouse in 1897 and left a blood trail to the creek. An old woman named Lacey Ann Boggs was shot in the back of the head while knitting, and the man accused of it told the squire she called him with a witch call that made him fly through his window like a bird and carry her home on his back. By 1917 the county had had enough. One hundred and fifty armed men stormed the jail, shot the building up, dynamited five houses, and nailed a hand written notice to the trees listing exactly who had ten days to leave and who had thirty.Booger Hole has been quiet ever since. Except for the riders you can hear but never see, and the woman in white with the long black hair who wails along the paths at night.Plus a viewer submitted video that we are not fully convinced about, and a conversation about why "don't look in the trees," "if you hear your name called in the woods, you didn't," and "if you hear whistling at night, you didn't" are rules worth keeping.Got a personal ghost story and want it read on the show?

Join us on Patreon for ZERO ADS ALWAYS! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcast The most haunted lighthouse in Georgia has a body count, and it starts with a murdered lighthouse keeper. In the final episode of Summerween, Madison, Chris, and JT head down to the Golden Isles to unpack the dark history of the St. Simons Island Lighthouse. Blown up by Confederate troops in 1861. Rebuilt on the bones of men who died of malaria before they could finish it. And then, in 1880, a feud between head keeper Frederick Osborne and his assistant John Stevens ended in a shotgun blast from 90 feet away, allegedly over stolen chickens. Osborne took 10 days to die. Stevens walked free. And then the footsteps on the spiral staircase started. Plus: two ghosts caught on camera, and the wild story of the ghost that showed up in "The Fugitive" (1993) a few hundred yards from the Cowee Tunnel, where 19 shackled men drowned in 1882. WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE Ghost caught on camera: a Ring doorbell captures a white figure floating through a garage while a mother thinks about her late sister Ghost caught on camera: Aubrey from the Sorrel Weed House gets something running past her in the Carriage House The 1804 original lighthouse and the $13,775 contract that built it Confederate troops blow the lighthouse to keep it from the Union Navy Malaria, mosquitoes, and the architect who died before finishing the job The 1880 shooting of keeper Frederick Osborne The trial, the acquittal, and the ghost stories that followed Jinx the dog and 28 years of Svendsen family hauntings The ghost in "The Fugitive" and the Cowee Tunnel drowning of 1882

Join us on Patreon is the best way to support this podcast and skips ads forever! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcast This episode is a haunted triple feature. We open with two ghost videos sent in by viewers. First, a spirit allegedly caught darting through the background of a 1966 funeral in Ireland, footage that's been unsettling viewers for decades. Then a family in Mexico shares video of something even harder to explain: a creature's eyeball reportedly peering out at them from a crack in their wall. Then we go deep on one of the strangest true crime stories in American history. On July 7, 1908, twenty-year-old Hazel Drew took a walk down a secluded road in Sand Lake, New York, and was never seen alive again. Her body turned up floating in Teal's Pond days later, and the murder was never solved. More than a century later, people still say her ghost walks those same woods. But Hazel's story didn't stay buried. Her murder, and the legend of her ghost, directly inspired one of the most iconic characters in television history: Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks. We break down Hazel's real timeline, the suspects who were never cleared, the theories that still circulate today, and how a scary story told to a little boy named Mark Frost turned into a cult classic decades later. Ghosts on camera. An eyeball in the wall. And the true unsolved murder behind Twin Peaks. This one has it all. Got a ghost video, a haunted photo, or a local legend you want us to cover?

Link to the Zillow Listing. Then we head to Panama for the unsolved disappearance of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon... two Dutch students who vanished on a well-traveled jungle trail, leaving behind 77 failed emergency calls, a pristine backpack found 10 weeks later, and bones with zero signs of animal scavenging. Portal? Cursed ground? Jungle chupacabra? We go through every theory, including the one Hollywood beat us to by a year.And in Ghost Mail: Corey sends in a photo his dog wouldn't stop growling at — a shadowy, hooded figure on the stairs that's either a samurai, Darth Vader, or something worse.

On June 14, 1969, six-year-old Dennis Martin vanished from a Father's Day camping trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in broad daylight, within five minutes, surrounded by family. What followed became the largest search in the park's history: 1,400 searchers, the National Guard, and even Green Berets pulled from Fort Bragg, all turning up nothing. No shoe. No shirt. No trace. In this episode, Madison and Chris break down the Dennis Martin disappearance: the eerie storm that washed out the trails right after he went missing, the temperature drop that made no sense for June, the child-size footprints that led to a stream and disappeared, the psychic tips the National Park Service took seriously enough to document, and a sawmill blade tied back to Dennis's own family found decades later. They dig into the three leading theories, exposure, animal attack, and abduction, and the Appalachian folklore that's followed this case for over 50 years: wild men in the deep woods, and of course, Spearfinger. Then, stick around for a ghost mail from Amy, a semi-truck driver from outside Topeka, Kansas, and her cat and road companion, Milo. What Amy and Milo saw and heard late one night in their 100-year-old limestone farmhouse will leave you wondering what was really in the room with them.

#evildeadburn #horrormovies Join us on Patreon for ZERO ADS ALWAYS! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcast Welcome to the very first episode of Haunted City Cinema Club (the HCCC), the new bonus series from The Most Haunted City on Earth podcast where we watch a trending horror film and put it through the wringer. First up: EVIL DEAD BURN, the latest installment in the Evil Dead franchise. Is it the goriest entry yet? Absolutely. Is it a real Evil Dead movie? That is where the fight starts. We break down the phenomenal cold open, the fishing dock nightmare, the boiling lake, the headrest kill, that make out scene, the wax shot, the dentures, and the ending that had all three of us groaning. Plus a very French director, way too much story, and a dog that deserved better. This one is a full spoiler review, so if you have not seen the movie yet, go watch it and come back. Joining Chris and Madison this episode is our best friend and first guest, Michael Molina, a special effects makeup artist who pays closer attention to gore, prosthetics, and practical effects than anyone we know. He gives us the inside look on what the film nailed and what it faked. We rank the Best Kill, the Worst Kill, and score the movie on our scare meter. Stick around for the post credit talk and Michael's take on how it stacks up against Sam Raimi's originals and Evil Dead Rise.

#summerween #hauntedcamping Join us on Patreon for Zero Ads and an amazing community: www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastThree Girl Scouts never made it home from opening night. Their killer may still be walking those woods.On June 12, 1977, hundreds of girls arrived at Camp Scott in Locust Grove, Oklahoma for the start of summer. By the next morning, three of them were gone. Lori Farmer, age 8. Doris Denise Milner, age 10. Michelle Gussie, age 9. The last thing Lori did was write a letter home to her family.What makes this case even more disturbing: weeks before the murders, a threatening note was found on camp property. It read, "We are on a mission to kill three girls in one tent." Camp directors assumed it was a prank and threw it away.The prime suspect was Gene Leroy Hart, a member of the Cherokee Nation known throughout his community as the Sandman, a man believed to be a shapeshifter. Detectives reported seeing a black dog following them through the woods during the investigation, one that would vanish without a trace. Hart died in prison before a conviction. In 2022, DNA evidence strongly suggested his guilt. The case remains officially unsolved.Oh, and Kristin Chenoweth was supposed to be at that camp. She was sick and stayed home.
