Next Episode: The Hidden History of a State Park

What if, after you died, a close friend of yours made a bust commemorating you, spending years trying to make the piece of art capture your very essence? What if some of your ashes were put into said statue, which was then displayed in a prominent public area? Might you haunt that statue? Well, that's what happened to Jason Miller, Scranton native and the actor who played Father Karras in *The Exorcist*. And Scranton residents have claimed that things have gotten weird.

That's just one of the many strange stories I explore in this episode about some of the most interesting haunted sites in Scranton, PA.

Highlights include:
- A grand masonic temple with many ghost stories
- A haunted trolley car (!!)
- A gruesome murder

P.S. This episode has nothing to do with Scranton's lost Luna Park, but I covered the park earlier in the series and I wanted to draw its old gate so here you go anyway.
