The large home was built by the Redmond family 675 years ago and today is in a bit of limbo as to its future. One thing that is for sure is that this property has had a number of uses and been left with a few legends including some about the Devil himself. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Loftus Hall.

The name Chistlehurst Caves is a bit deceiving because this system of tunnels and caverns near London is not natural. These are man-made. They started off as chalk and flint mines and later were used for ammunition storage and then as a bomb shelter and this was even a music venue for a time, hosting the likes of Hendrix and Bowie. An entire underground city was once here. There are legends connected to the caves that include tales of Druid ceremonies and there are claims of ghosts. Join us for the history and hauntings of Chistlehurst Caves. This Month in History features the Black Monday of 1360. Location suggested by listener Alana Ashby.

Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry VIII and she probably is the wife that most people are familiar with of his six wives. She was executed, but she was innocent, so this was murder. A schism was created when Henry tried to annul his marriage to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The King had to wait seven years before he could marry Anne, but his love waned just three years into that marriage. He stood by as she was executed. This kind of betrayal and unjust death can lead to hauntings and in the case of Anne Boleyn, it would seem that her spirit is at unrest.

The town of Inveraray in Scotland holds one of the most famous castles in Scotland and a jail from the 1800s that was one of the most modern jails for its time, making this the perfect spot for those seeking history with haunts. Nearby Loch Fyne attracted a long history of clans and people with its rich fishing of herring and oysters and is the longest sea loch in the country. The waters also harbor dolphins, seals, otters and even basking sharks. Stories claim that a phantom galleon occasionally appears on the loch and it seems to signal death is coming.

The historic Magnolia Hotel is located in Seguin, Texas. The building's history includes use as a fort and was built by a man rooted in Texas history as a colonist. Over 185 years, the property has had multiple buildings on it that have been used as hotels. The current hotel has been here over 170 years and passed through the hands of many owners and is now a bed and breakfast that offers ghost tours. And that's because there are more than a dozen ghosts here. And that's not surprising with a history that includes murder and prostitution. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Magnolia Hotel.

One of the most unique looking hotels in America is located in Asheville, North Carolina. This is the Grove Park Inn, which looks at home in its mountain setting because it is made from native granite boulders. The guest list through the years has included the rich and famous and many presidents. But it's one guest in particular who has endured through all the decades. She is a mysterious woman in pink who has a penchant for appearing out of nowhere and disappearing just as quickly. And she brings an icy chill with her.

Mark Twain authored some of the most beloved stories in American literature and he lived an amazing life. This was a life of literary genius, but it was also one of financial ruin and immense pain when it came to his family life. He lived in many places and owned several homes with his home in Hartford, Connecticut being his favorite and he said of it that those years were the happiest of his life. Perhaps that is why he seems to have returned there as a spirit. Twain claimed that he didn't believe in all this nonsense about ghosts, but he joined the Society for Psychical Research and read all of their journals. We wonder if he perhaps, may believe in ghosts now. Join us as we explore the life and afterlife of Mark Twain.
