Episode 72 - Holy Ghosts
Dec 8, 2025·—
—
In this episode, we step inside the shadows of some of the most haunted churches where faith endures, but so do the spirits who refuse to let go. We begin in rural Indiana, at a small chapel where visitors report being pursued by the dark silhouette of a man who appears only long enough to send them fleeing into the night. From there, we travel to a historic Chicago parish shaken by sightings of shrouded monks who drift through between pews, terrifying more than a dozen parishioners in a single weekend. Our journey continues north to Montreal’s famed oratory, where the preserved heart of a revered saint may be binding his presence to the grounds. We’ll also stop at an Iowa college campus chapel, where the tragic death of a young woman left behind unanswered questions, lingering sorrow, and reports of a presence still searching for resolution.

Episode 71 - Giggles in the Dark
Nov 24, 2025·—

In this episode, we step into locations where the echoes of childhood linger long after the children themselves have vanished. These aren’t stories of monsters or malevolent spirits; they’re the stories of children who have stayed behind in places like a century-old dance hall where tiny desperate hands might tug at your clothing while you sip your drink. There’s a Gettysburg orphanage whose basement echoes with the sobs of children. We’ll visit an abandoned house that seems determined to remember its former occupant. And join us at a once-joyful West Coast amusement park where the laughter on the carousel hasn’t faded. Sit back, dim the lights, and enjoy these chilling stories and more.

Episode 70 - Where the Ladies Wander
Nov 10, 2025·—

In this episode, we follow the trail of the Grey Lady across time and continent, piecing together accounts, archival whispers, and the strange common thread that binds her to the living. We find her in libraries, castles, and hotels. Her presence drifts across centuries and oceans, from a palace in Britain to the echoing corridors of an American high school. Witnesses speak of a woman in pale mourning silk, her features blurred as if the air itself resists remembering her. But who was she? A grieving mother, a betrayed lover, or something else — a pattern repeating itself wherever sorrow takes root? And yet, not all ladies are grey, even if their stories are no less tragic. We’ll visit the story of a pair of blue ladies, a red lady, a purple lady, and a famous brown lady. There seems to be no shortage of grey lady stories. While some stories fade, hers refuses to die.

Welcome to our third episode where we take an in-depth look at a location with far too much history to cover in a regular episode. This week, we’re unlocking the iron gates of one of America’s most infamous prisons: the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield. Once home to thousands of inmates (and a few Hollywood cameras — hello, The Shawshank Redemption ) this looming Gothic fortress has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the country. Join us as we dig into its dark history from its origins as a well-meaning reformatory to the violence, tragedy, and despair that seeped into its stone walls. And of course, we’ll explore the ghost stories that still echo through its cellblocks. Whether you’re a history buff, a paranormal believer, or just here for some spooky season chills, this episode will leave you wondering what lingers behind those cold steel bars after dark.

With baseball season fading into the shadows, we’re shifting from home runs to haunted halls as we make our way to Brew City. Once again, we’re packin’ up the Ope, A Ghost van and headed off on another virtual road trip. This time, we’re creeping into the eerie elegance of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Our spooktacular itinerary is packed with ghostly grandeur — from the stately (and maybe not-so-empty) mansions of beer barons like Captain Pabst, to a lighthouse, to a college campus that might just have more students on the other side. We’re even making a late-night stop at The Rave where laughter from unseen children sometimes echoes through the halls. And if we’re lucky… or unlucky… we might just cross paths with the enigmatic Dr. Borhegyi, a man whose legend only grew stronger after death. Milwaukee may be best known for brats and brews, but don’t be fooled — it's also brimming with spirits of a different kind.

Episode 67 - Real Haunted Houses III
Sep 29, 2025·—
—
What better way to celebrate spooky season than with two real haunted houses as told by those who lived it. First, we visit Northwest Chicago where in 1970, Ed and Marsha Becker bought a two-flat apartment to start their family. What they found instead was decades of tragedy, strange chills, objects moving on their own, and an unseen presence that grew stronger with every month they stayed. From floating kitchen appliances to a failed exorcism captured on film, this true story — later known as “The Haunting in Wicker Park” — remains one of America’s most chilling hauntings. Then, we step inside 21 St. Helens Avenue, a quiet Baltimore home with a violent history. Built in 1915, the house witnessed a string of deaths, tragedies, and unexplained phenomena long before Sean Paul Murphy’s family moved in. What began as flickering lights and misplaced objects soon escalated into shadowy figures, mimicked voices, and a darkness that seemed to press in on its residents. True Haunting by Edwin F.

Tucked away on a quiet hill in Staten Island stands the Kreischer Mansion—a Gothic relic with a past so grim it refuses to stay buried. In this episode, we revisit Portals to Hell and their unnerving investigation of this historic home where the line between residual memory and intelligent haunting blurs uncomfortably thin. As Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman peel back the layers of the mansion’s sordid history—arson, mob murders, and lingering whispers in the walls—we break down the most chilling moments and debate what exactly is clinging to the house after all these years. Turn down the lights. This isn’t just another ghost story.

Episode 66 - When Houses Attack
Sep 15, 2025·—
—
In this bone-chilling episode, we unravel two spine-tingling poltergeist hauntings, each more unsettling than the last. First, we travel to the eerie Welsh hills of 1989, where a young family’s dream home quickly becomes a waking nightmare. Heol Fanog, or The Witch Farm , is a place where ancient forces awaken from the walls, pulling a once-happy family into a vortex of terror. What ancient evil lies buried beneath this cursed land? Next, we venture into a more modern mystery that begins with the purchase of an old frame from a charity shop in 2021. The seemingly innocent item hides a chilling secret: an image of a man—who, upon closer inspection, turns out to be the first-ever mugshot in the UK. But this isn’t just any old photograph. As the family investigates further, they realize that this man's tragic past may be entwined with dark forces that have followed the frame into their home, wreaking havoc in ways they could never have anticipated. Dim the lights, lock the doors, and prepare yourself for a journey into the world of poltergeists—where the past and present collide, and evil never truly stays buried.

Sep 8, 2025·—

In this rewatch episode, we dive back into The Holzer Files and their chilling investigation of Franklin Castle—Cleveland’s most notoriously haunted mansion. We revisit the shadowy corridors and dark family secrets that made this episode a standout. Did Hans Holzer’s original files uncover the truth behind the Tiedemann family tragedies? Did Dave Schrader and the team create more questions than answers? We’re unpacking the hauntings and the history as we try to determine which elements hold historical weight and which raise new questions. Was Franklin Castle truly a house of horrors or has legend overtaken fact?

Step into the darkened halls of two of America’s most infamous haunted hospitals. First, we explore the dim hallways of the sprawling Sheboygan County Asylum in Wisconsin where shadowy figures roam the tunnels and the ghosts of nurses greet you by humming a little tune. Then we travel south to Yorktown, Texas, where the abandoned Yorktown Memorial Hospital looms—its corridors echoing with whispers of patients and nuns long gone. From eerie apparitions to chilling EVP recordings, this episode takes you deep into the unsettling legacy of these institutions where healing was once promised, but hauntings remain.

Aug 18, 2025·—

This week, we’re diving into the wonderfully bizarre world of cryptids where folklore meets the downright unbelievable. First, we travel to the windswept Isle of Man in the 1930s, where a talking mongoose named Gef supposedly made a family’s farmhouse his home, leaving behind one of the strangest legends in paranormal history. Was Gef a ghost, a hoax, or a creature from somewhere beyond the ordinary? Then we head to the murky backroads of Bishopville, South Carolina, to meet the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp—a reptilian beast that terrorized locals and left claw marks on cars in the 1980s. With one cryptid chattering in the walls and another lurking in the shadows, we’ll unravel the tales, the evidence, and why these stories still spark fascination (and a few goosebumps) today. bBsSb5I5ltlor9uLYNJz In Paranormal News - Possible fairy caught on camera ?

Pack your ghost-hunting gear and your frontier sass because this episode is headin’ west in search of haunted ghost towns. First stop: Bannack, Montana, a gold rush town frozen in time and reportedly still hosting guests at the famously haunted Meade Hotel. We’ll dive into the eerie tale of Dorothy Dunn, the young girl whose tragic fate may have tethered her spirit to the old town . . . when she isn’t following you home. Then we hitch a spectral ride to Deadwood, South Dakota, where Wild Bill Hickok was shot holding the “Dead Man’s Hand”—and may not have folded just yet. We’ll also check in (but maybe not sleep) at the Bullock Hotel, where lawman-turned-hotelier Seth Bullock is said to keep things orderly even from beyond the grave.

Episode 62 - Waverly Hills
Jul 21, 2025·—

Welcome to our second episode where we take an in-depth look at a location with far too much history to cover in a regular episode. This time, we journey deep into the history and ghosts of the Waverly Hills Sanatorium, one of America’s most famously haunted locations. Located in Louisville, Kentucky, Waverly Hills was a state-of-the-art tuberculosis hospital that opened in 1910 as a humble, two-story stucco building that served 40 people. By 1926, the rise in tuberculosis cases, and a 2,600-person waiting list, necessitated the 180,000 square foot monolithic structure we know today. By the 1950s, new medicines and treatments made the disease less deadly, and in 1961, Waverly Hills closed. The building didn’t stay empty for long. From 1962-198l, the building operated as a convalescent center for the aging. Listen in as we discuss the legends, lore, and truth of the sanatorium, the “death tunnel,” and the complicated story of the nurse in room 502.

Who’s ready for another road trip? Pack up the Ope, A Ghost Van because we’re headed to the Emerald City itself: Seattle, WA. We have several stops to make, but a few of them include the Owl N’ Thistle Pub where an elusive piano player tickles the ivories when no one is looking. Then we’ll stop at the Merchant’s Café where portraits move on their own and a lady of the night whispers in the ears of unsuspecting male patrons. Finally, we’ll end at the historic Cadillac Hotel where the ghosts of merchants, prospectors, and a crying woman haunt the halls of the upper floors. It’s going to be a long drive, so bring a book.

In this delightfully eerie second installment in our funeral home adventures, we creak open the doors of two former houses of mourning that are now anything but lifeless. First, we take a spine-tingling stroll through the Bell Mansion in Fort Wayne, Indiana—a towering tribute to Victorian opulence and spectral sightings where children’s laughter echo in the halls and a mysterious woman in jeans is said to roam. Then, we cross the border to Dresden, Ontario, where the Thomas L. DeBurger Funeral Home has found new life (and possibly some lingering spirits) as the Blumberg family’s residence, featured in the Discovery+ series We Bought A Funeral Home . Expect phantom whispers, flickering lights, and a spectral Lady in Blue. Death may have moved out, but something spooky still lingers in the halls of these buildings.

Welcome to another fact vs. film episode where we look at the true story of a haunting and compare it with the “based on a true story” film version. For this one, we’ll tackle another film from the Ed and Lorraine Warren inspired Conjuring universe: the 2021 The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It . We'll evaluate the terrifying scenes from the movie compared to eyewitness accounts and the Warrens' own claims. What really happened in that Brookfield, Connecticut household? How much of the story was spiritual warfare, and how much was legal strategy, mental illness, or media frenzy? As always, the real story is more chilling than you'd expect.

Step right up—if you dare—for a chilling ride through two of America’s most haunted amusement parks. In this episode, we explore the eerie legends and ghostly encounters tied to Chippewa Lake Amusement Park in Ohio and Sylvan Beach Amusement Park in New York. Abandoned for decades, Chippewa Lake is a rusting graveyard of forgotten rides and lingering spirits. Locals speak of phantom music coming from the demolished dance hall and the sound of a rollercoaster that hasn’t ran in almost 50 years. Meanwhile, Sylvan Beach remains open to thrill-seekers—but its century-old carousel and historic buildings come with paranormal baggage. Visitors and employees alike have reported flickering lights, unexplained footsteps, and the spectral sightings of past employees and the ghost of a little girl. So come one, come all.

Welcome to an Ope, A Ghost Book Club Mini Episode. In another foray into fiction, we read Darcy Coates’s The Haunting of Rookward House (2020). Meet Guy, a man looking to escape his hometown after becoming the community pariah. His luck seems to have changed when he finds the deed to a forgotten house in his mother’s attic. This is his chance: fix up the old mansion, sell it for a quick profit, and use the money to move away. Sounds easy, but the ghost of a deranged and jealous stalker has other plans, including keeping Guy all to herself. What a fun book! We highly recommend this one. We’re sure you’ll love it as much as we did.

Welcome to another Unrelated Ghosts episode where we dive into two locations that have nothing in common with one another. Nothing except that they’re both haunted, of course. First, we’ll stop in the quaint town of Felicity, Ohio and visit the Broadwell Funeral Home. The current owner purchased the property with the intent to remodel it to move it, but after several paranormal occurrences, his wife left and has not stepped foot back into the house since. Visitors have experienced shadow people, disembodied voices, and poltergeist activity. Our second stop takes us to the oldest operating restaurant in the U.S.: the White Horse Tavern in Newport, RI. The building is verging on being 400 years old which might explain why the ghosts include a colonial patron, a spirit known as “the guardian,” and the ghost of Rebecca Cornell who convicted her supposed killer from beyond the grave!

Apr 28, 2025·—

Small town life is generally easy. That is, unless the town is haunted. Get ready for ghost stories, local lore, and a deep dive into the paranormal legacies of America's most haunted towns. First, we journey to Jerome, Arizona—a once-booming copper mining town turned ghostly relic. Discover the eerie tales of the Jerome Grand Hotel, where a phantom maintenance man lingers in the basement and ghostly footsteps echo through the halls. We'll also step inside a brothel still haunted by the tragic spirit of a murdered madam. Then, we’ll head east to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where darkness clings to the walls of the infamous Welles House.

Welcome to another Paranormal Rewatch. In this episode, we’ll follow Josh Gates and Destination Truth as they explore the haunted Island of the Dolls located in the Xochimilco canals just south of Mexico City, Mexico. Legend has it that Don Julián Santana Barrera found a doll floating in the canal the day after a young girl drowned. He hung the doll in her memory. He believed the girl’s spirit haunted the island, so Barrera hung more dolls to appease her until over 4,000 dolls adorned the island. Did the creepy decorations work? You’ll have to listen to find out.
