On today's podcast, we are delighted to welcome American explorer Leland Kent. Hailing from the southern states of the United States, Leland has dedicated several years of his life to exploration, boasting an impressive list of various abandoned locations that he has ventured into, such as funeral homes, colonial-style houses, abandoned hospitals, and a plethora of other unique and fascinating abandoned sites.


During the podcast, we discussed the potential dangers of exploring abandoned houses. Leland shared some valuable tips and methods that he uses to determine whether a house is truly abandoned or not, which make for an interesting and informative segment. Leland has a great fear of bees and it is his worst nightmare to encounter them. His fear is justified by a particular incident where he was stung 27 times by a swarm of bees, which serves as a good reason why you should check out his interview. His account of the harrowing experience is a must-listen.


One of the podcast's most compelling stories, was Leland's tale of exploring an abandoned funeral home. During his exploration, he stumbled upon a collection of abandoned caskets and made a gruesome discovery of dead bodies. It's a haunting story that leaves a lasting impression. 


Leland recounted a fascinating tale of stumbling upon a collection of love letters inside the infamous 'Swingers Tiki Palace', also known as the Playboy Mansion. During his exploration, he also uncovered the shocking story of the house's former owner who was sentenced to prison for murder-for-hire. It's a gripping story that provides insight into the secrets hidden within one of the most notorious homes in America.
