Ep 150S6 E5. The Black Forest
EInto 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.

Ep 149S6 E4. The Greenbriar Ghost
EToday’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.

Ep 148S6 E3. Raynham Hall
EBrown 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!

Ep 147S6 E2. Sunland Hospitals
EThis 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!

Ep 146S6 E1. McRaven Mansion
EWe 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.

Ep 145S5 E10. Chillingham Castle
EFor 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.

Ep 144S5 E9. The Winchester House
EOur 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.We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Ep 143S5 E8. Old Idaho Penitentiary
EHey 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.

Ep 141S5 E7. The Witch House
EHappy 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.

Ep 135S5 S6. Fort Delaware
EPop 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. So strap on your ice skates and let's escape for awhile!We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Ep 140S5 E5. Shoshone Ice Caves
EBrrrr 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.

Ep 139S5 E4. Ghosts of Tybee Island
EIf 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!
