EP 187 - King Johns Castle | Limerick, Ireland
In the shadow of Limerick's misty River Shannon, stands King Johns Castle. Its stone walls etched with eight centuries of blood and betrayal. Built in 1210 on the orders of the infamous King John—England's treacherous tyrant, murderer of kin, and reluctant signer of the Magna Carta—the fortress witnessed sieges where countless men lost their lives. Now, in the dead of night, vague whispers slither through its halls, and shadows twist unnaturally. From poltergeist activity to shadow figures and a Banshee on the bridge... its no wonder why this castle has grown a dark reputation as being extremely haunted. Join us as we dive into the history and hauntings of King John's Castle, Limerick, Ireland.

The Bloody Tower: where the two young Princes mysteriously vanished in 1483. Witnesses see their ghosts – little boys in nightgowns, crying, hand in hand... before vanishing. Headless Anne Boleyn walks the grounds. Lady Jane Grey's spirit weeps on the scaffold. Reports of growls, potentially coming from the ghost of a bear, lion... or something darker.

Face of Evil: The Skin Driver | Dark Mysteries
After shooting a Westchester County officer during a traffic stop on the Saw Mill River Parkway, Alex Mengel, 30, stole the cop’s gun and disappeared in the victim’s patrol car. Twenty-four hours later he surfaced in Dutchess County, abducted a woman from an IBM parking lot, and vanished again in her white Toyota. For the next week, police across New York and into Canada hunted a ghost. Roadblocks, helicopters, bloodhounds; nothing. Mengel, slipped across the border unnoticed. On March 3, Toronto PD spotted the missing vehicle, chased it through the city, and boxed it in after a crash. A seven-day manhunt that crossed two countries ended with the suspect never making it to trial.

EP 185 - The Ghostly Secrets of Bruce Mansion | Burnside Township, MI
In Michigan’s Thumb, a mansion that survived one of the deadliest fires in American history has been unraveling minds ever since. Inside the Bruce Mansion, a ghost cat prowls the halls, a growling dog echoes from the basement, and the tower looms over a man who couldn’t live with what he’d done. Owners have fled, sanity has frayed, and one man was driven to take his own life. This is a house that doesn’t just remember the past — it slowly takes pieces of the people who walk through it.Become a supporter on Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/hometownghoststoriesMusic by Jesse Wilkins and Seth WilkinsNEW ALBUM OUT NOW!

EP 184 - Ghosts of the Civil War: The River of Death | Chickamauga, GA
The Battle of Chickamauga was the second bloodiest engagement of the Civil War, surpassed only by Gettysburg, with more than 34,000 men, killed, wounded or missing over just two brutal days. The fighting took place along the winding waters of Chickamauga Creek; its name derived from a Cherokee term often translated as “The River of Death” After the violence and unimaginable bloodshed on that ground, it should come as no surprise that the fields, houses, and forests surrounding Chickamauga are believed by many to be haunted.

EP 183 - Point Lookout and the Maryland Witch Trials | Scotland, MD
Scotland, Maryland is a small historic community located in St. Mary's County. Today, people visit Point Lookout for its camping, fishing and beaches. But the grounds they walk on have a bloody and dark history. Following the battle of Gettysburg, this area became Camp Hoffman... the Union's largest Civil War prison. Over 20 thousand POWs were held here, ravaged by disease and despair, at least 4 thousand men died at the camp. Today, it's believed to be plagued by restless spirits. Long before the civil war, the people of St. Mary's County had a bit of a witch hysteria of their own, including no fewer than 10 people dragged before the Maryland courts and accused of witchcraft.Become a supporter on Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/hometownghoststoriesMusic by Jesse Wilkins and Seth WilkinsNEW ALBUM OUT NOW!

The Cash-Landrum UFO Attack | Dark Mysteries
On Dec. 29, 1980, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and her grandson Colby encountered a blazing diamond-shaped UFO hovering over a Texas road, spewing flames and intense heat. Surrounded by 23 military helicopters, the object left after 15 minutes. All three suffered severe radiation-like burns, vomiting, hair loss, and long-term illness. They sued the U.S. government, alleging a secret craft, but lost in 1986 due to lack of evidence. The Cash-Landrum case remains one of ufology’s most compelling and physically damaging close encounters.

EP 182 - The Devil's Playground | Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Calgary. New city. Old bones. Devil’s Playground: a schoolhouse torched with every child inside. The field is empty now… except for the laughter that rises when the temperature drops. Deane House: axe murders, a boy in the attic noose, blood that sweats through fresh paint, and a braided apparition still guarding ground that was stolen long before the foundation was poured. Lougheed House: Lady Isabella locked forever at the window. The piano breathes a single chord in the dark. Dead couples turn in an endless, silent waltz. The city sleeps under neon and snow. But beneath it… something ancient… is wide awake.Become a supporter on Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/hometownghoststoriesMusic by Jesse Wilkins and Seth WilkinsNEW ALBUM OUT NOW!

EP 181 - The Institution of the Dead ft. Bridget Marquardt | Ione, CA
For sixty-six years, Preston Castle stood as a monument to reform and a witness to suffering. Built in 1894 as California’s first institution for wayward youth, its red brick walls saw generations of disaffected youth pass through, some to redemption, others to ruin. When the lights went out in 1960, the building fell silent, but the silence didn’t last. From the boy shot during his escape attempt to the sick left to die in its infirmary, and finally to Anna Corbin, the beloved housekeeper whose unsolved murder still echoes through its basement, the Castle has never forgotten.

EP 180 - The Closest Place to Hell | Newark, OH
Nestled in the forks of the Licking River just east of Columbus sits the city of Newark Ohio. Incorporated in 1813, the city is known for both its midwestern industrial roots as well as its small town charm. But beneath that charm is a darker side; a haunted side. From the midland theater to the Cedar Hill Cemetery - two locations reputed to be so haunted that the mere mention of them causes locals to go weeks without sleep. But what the city is most notorious for is its old jailhouse, The Licking County Jail - a building haunted by the ghosts of its former inmates, one of which famously described it as the closest place to Hell.

The Gurdon Light | Gurdon, AR
Nestled in the shadowy pine woods of Gurdon, Arkansas, the Gurdon Light has haunted the imagination of locals and thrill-seekers for nearly a century. First spotted in the 1930s along abandoned railroad tracks, this eerie orb—glowing white, blue, orange, or green—floats and sways like a lantern bobbing on an invisible cord, sometimes swelling to the size of a basketball before vanishing into the night. Legend ties it to tragedy: In 1931, railroad foreman William McClain was brutally murdered with a spike maul by coworker Louis McBride during a heated brawl. McBride was executed months later, but McClain's headless ghost, they say, still roams with his lantern, desperately searching for his lost head. Some whisper of a decapitated brakeman from an earlier train mishap, his severed spirit doomed to wander eternally. Hometown Ghost Stories LIVE SHOW!

EP 179 - Iowa's Most Haunted | Malvern, IA
Malvern, Iowa... a forgotten railroad town born in the 1870s, where dreams rusted into shadows. Malvern Manor, once a bustling inn, morphed into a grim nursing home by the ‘50s, shut down in 2005 for neglect. Now? It’s a magnet for paranormal activity. Across the street, sits the Classic Cafe, a former doctors office and mortuary, it is now rumored to be one of Iowa's most haunted restaurants.

Horror Movie Review! Mother!
Tonight on HTGS reviews, we break down the movie Mother! **Spoilers!** Mother! (2017) is a psychological horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky. It follows a young woman (Jennifer Lawrence) living in a secluded house with her poet husband (Javier Bardem). Their tranquil life is disrupted when uninvited guests (Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer) arrive, bringing chaos and tension. As more strangers invade their home, the woman's reality unravels, revealing a surreal, allegorical tale exploring themes of creation, destruction, and humanity's relationship with nature. The film is intense, symbolic, and open to interpretation, often seen as a commentary on environmental and biblical narratives. Hometown Ghost Stories LIVE SHOW!

EP 178 - Kansas’ Most Haunted Town | Atchison, KS
Our Midwest road trip kicked off in the small town of Atchison, Kansas. It’s a town often called one of the most haunted in America, and with a population of just over 10,000, that’s probably pretty accurate from a per capita perspective. It’s home to some of the most infamous paranormal locations in the Midwest, including the formidable McInteer Villa, and the much smaller, notoriously haunted Sallie House. This was the first stop on our four part journey through the American heartland, and to say Atchison set the tone, would probably be an understatement.

The Beasts of Satan Cult | Dark Mysteries
In the late 1990s, northern Italy's heavy metal scene birthed the Beasts of Satan—a twisted cult of young occultists blending black metal, drugs, and devil worship. Led by Andrea Volpe and Nicola Sapone, the group lured victims into ritual sacrifices to seal pacts with darkness. Their horrors began on January 17, 1998, in the misty woods near Somma Lombardo, northwest of Milan. There, they stabbed 19-year-old Chiara Marino through the heart as a "virgin sacrifice," then bludgeoned her boyfriend, 16-year-old bassist Fabio Tollis, with a hammer when he intervened. The pair's bodies were dumped in a shallow pit, stuffed with chestnut leaves, and mocked as "zombies" while killers danced on the grave. The remains lay undiscovered for six years. In 2004, Volpe shot his ex, 27-year-old Mariangela Pezzotta, in the throat to silence her threats to expose the sect. She survived long enough to be beaten and buried alive in a nearby greenhouse. Confessions unraveled the cult, leading to life sentences for Sapone and decades for Volpe. Today, those Somma Lombardo woods whisper of unrest: locals report chilling apparitions of a stabbed girl and shadowy figures, eerie cries at midnight, and an oppressive dread that chases hikers away. The forest, scarred by blood rites, stands as Italy's haunted Satanic scar. Hometown Ghost Stories LIVE SHOW!

EP 176 - Utica's Darkest Ghost Stories | Utica, NY
Utica, New York may seem like just another upstate city, but its past is steeped in darkness. From the ghostly apparitions said to haunt the grand Stanley Theater, to the lingering spirits of Hotel Utica, where the apparition of a man in a tuxedo still roams, the city is no stranger to restless souls. And towering over it all is Old Main, the former New York State Lunatic Asylum, infamous for its use of the dreaded Utica Crib and the suffering within its walls. Utica is more than a city... it’s a haunting that never ends. Hometown Ghost Stories LIVE SHOW!

EP 175 - The Isle of Devils | Bermuda
Bermuda was once known to sailors as the Isle of Devils, a name earned from its treacherous reefs, strange lights over the water, and ominous, childlike cries that echoed across the island at night. Early mariners gave it a wide berth, convinced it was cursed. Today, Bermuda is best known as a tropical paradise and a major tourist destination. But behind the beauty lies a darker history, and many of the island’s oldest sites still carry a haunted reputation. Join us as we explore all the stories that keep the Isle of Devils alive in legend. Hometown Ghost Stories LIVE SHOW!

EP 174 - The Haunted Castles of South Wales | Wales, UK
At the edge of the Welsh Valleys stands Llancaiach Fawr Manor, a building that stood tall during the civil war, and the spirits of the past still linger. To the north, in the brooding Brecon Beacons, rises Craig-y-Nos Castle. Once the lavish home of opera star Adelina Patti, it later became a tuberculosis hospital, where countless patients drew their final breath. Today, footsteps echo in empty corridors, voices sing when no one is there, and both sites remain two of Wales’s most haunted places. Hometown Ghost Stories LIVE SHOW!

EP 173 - Death Lights in the Tower | Tuscaloosa, AL ft. Christopher Feinstein
Tuscaloosa’s spirit runs deeper than football chants and crimson pride. On the University grounds, shadows stir where memories of tragedy never faded.

The Devil's Footprints | Dark Mysteries
In 1855, the town of Devon, England experienced quite the dark mystery. After a heavy snowfall, a trail of hoof-like marks, resembling cloven hooves, appeared across an estimated 40–100 miles of countryside, spanning multiple towns and villages. The tracks, about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide, with a stride of 8–16 inches, were found on snow-covered fields, rooftops, walls, and even crossing rivers, defying logical explanation. Locals, gripped by fear and superstition, attributed the prints to Satan or a supernatural entity, as the pattern seemed impossible for any known animal or human to create. Did the devil visit Devon? Or was there another explanation? Find out on this episode of Dark Mysteries. Hometown Ghost Stories LIVE SHOW!

EP 170 - Ghosts of Lebanon | Lebanon, IL
Lebanon, Illinois, is a quiet college town with a history that runs deeper—and darker—than it appears. The historic Mermaid House may still be home to its eccentric former owner, a sea captain whose ghost is said to linger in the halls. Just down the road, McKendree University has faced more than its share of tragedy, including the death of a student electrocuted in the original bell tower. Some believe his spirit still lingers in Bothwell Chapel, unwilling—or unable—to move on. Hometown Ghost Stories LIVE SHOW!
