S4 Ep7: An Early End to the Macabre Museums Season
March 16, 2022 16:37 - 2 minutes - 2.35 MBI had intended to include two more episodes in the Macabre Museums season. One about true crime Museums and a finale of paranormal museums. However, instead, I’ve decided to cut the season short for a couple of reasons. I won’t go into all of the nitty-gritty details but I will say that my family and I have endured a couple of health scares lately. It’s kind of pulled the world back into focus and made me reassess my priorities. So for now as I regroup and recalibrate, I’m putting the podc...
S4 Ep6: Museums Where Monsters and Mythical Creatures Roam
March 09, 2022 17:36 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBWhat is a monster? The Oxford Languages dictionary defines a monster as “an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening.” Which is also what makes monsters fascinating, right? Their frightening aspect. But also the fact that they may not be imaginary after all. They may actually be real. In this episode, we visit museums where monsters roam free --in our imaginations at least. Stops include: Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Inverness, Scotland The Icelandic Se...
S4 Ep5: 10 Bewitching Witch Museums Around the World
March 01, 2022 21:58 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MBWe embark on a whirlwind exploration of witch museums around the world in this episode.

S4 Ep4: Out-of-This-World UFO Museums
February 23, 2022 21:48 - 14 minutes - 13.4 MBThere are really only two UFO museums: The Pine Bush UFO & Paranormal Museum in Pine Bush, New York, and The International UFO Museum & Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico, a.k.a. what many consider the mecca of UFO museums. We explore both, as well as a couple of other museums with UFO connections, in this episode of Macabre Museums. Before we do, though, we examine how and when UFOs first entered America’s consciousness, which can really be traced back to one year: 1947. A lot of ...
S4 Ep3: The Bizarre Realm of Oddities Museums
February 15, 2022 03:31 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBDid you know that America didn’t have an official national anthem until 1931? The same man who drew attention to that in 1929 is the same one we can pretty much credit with creating oddities museums. In this episode, we get to know Robert Ripley and his pioneering influence on the bizarre realm of oddities museums. What started as a comic strip series grew to become books, a radio show, a TV show with several revivals, and Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditoriums around the world, a legacy...
S4 Ep2: Wallah! 8 Magic Museums Around the World
February 07, 2022 16:25 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MBAbracadabra. Hocus pocus. Alakazam. But which magicians were the first to use those now-famous, albeit stereotypical, conjuring words? Maybe the answer lies in the stops we’ll explore in this episode, which are magic museums around the world. We start out with museums dedicated to one of the greatest magical showmen of all time: Harry Houdini. Then we progress from there. Stops include: The House of Houdini in Budapest, Hungary The Houdini Museum, Tour & Magic Show in Scranton, Pennsy...
S4 Ep1: Get Swept Off Your Feet at These Bigfoot Museums
February 01, 2022 06:38 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MBIn this episode we polka with the Skunk Ape in the Everglades, check out a Bigfoot butt print in Georgia, and visit the Bigfoot Handicapped Accessible Garden in Nebraska. And that's just scratching the surface of the booty-shaking fun we have getting swept off our feet in Bigfoot museums! Do you know which state officially declared one of its citizens their official Bigfoot Lady and issued an official proclamation designating October 20th the state’s official Bigfoot day? And would you be...

S3 Ep4: Spirited Places to Ring in the New Year
December 29, 2021 18:41 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBThe ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future paid Scrooge a visit. We borrow that concept of three as we embark in search of haunted bars, ghost stories and energy centers with a New Year's Eve and/or New Year connection. Places we explore this episode include: Sydney, Australia - We check out two haunted hotels in the Rocks: The Australian Heritage Hotel and the Russel Hotel. Both aren't far from the Circular Quay, a great place to watch New Year's Eve fireworks in Sydney. London, En...
S3 Ep3: Making Merry: Night of the Living Christmas Decorations
December 20, 2021 18:39 - 33 minutes - 31.1 MBDecember is often called the most wonderful time of the year. But did you know that the Winter Solstice, which happens during December, is the second most haunted time of the year too? Samhain, or Halloween, is the first. The hauntings that happen during Halloween aren’t the same as the ghosts that come to visit during the Christmas season/Winter Solstice, though. Samhain ghosts are more the dead in general coming back, whereas Yule hauntings are much more Dickens-esque. Like Marley and t...
S3 Ep2: Best Places to Find the Ghosts of Christmases Past
December 13, 2021 21:12 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MBThese places deck the halls in a major way for the holiday season. However, in addition to conjuring the Christmas spirit, they’re also great places to find restless spirits too. In this episode, we explore: The connection between Legend of Sleepy Hollow author Washington Irving, the Bracebridge Dinner at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, and the possible ghost of Mary Curry Tresidor, one of the hotel's former operators. The haunted happenings at the Tinker Swiss Cottage in Ro...
S3 Ep1: Haunted Places with Christmas Names
December 06, 2021 19:32 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBIn this episode, we explore cemeteries, state parks, and cities that all share something in common: Paranormal activity and names of things commonly associated with Christmas. There are even some UFO cases ahead, which may or may not be related to Santa and the reindeer pulling his sleigh. Destinations include: Evergreen Cemetery in Owego, New York Evergreen, Alabama - with pit stops to the haunted McConnico Cemetery and Monroeville/Monroe County, the literary capital of Alabama The Ev...

It’ll just be a short one, a mini-series season so to speak. But we’ll pack a lot of haunting festivities into it. We’ll seek out places to spend time with the ghosts of Christmases past, as well as where to ring in a spirited New Year’s. And since Christmas is a great time for sharing scary ghost stories, we’ve got an original one of those too. Sort of a li...

S2 Ep5: Cases of Creepy Haunted Houses
October 11, 2021 22:36 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBSometimes houses aren’t haunted by ghosts. Sometimes the restless spirits living under the same roof as the legitimate owners and tenants aren’t unseen souls of the dearly departed. They’re very much alive and secretly dwelling within. Wait, what? That’s just the stuff of urban legends and horror movies like Crawlspace, Hider in the House, or People Under the Stairs, right? Nope. There have been real-life cases of uninvited phantom boarders and stalkers, such as Denver's Spiderman of Mo...

S2 Ep4: The Vampire Episode
October 04, 2021 18:12 - 17 minutes - 16.5 MBYou might expect something like Crime Categories to appear in the index of the Encyclopedia of American Crime. Listed underneath that heading are a variety of crimes you’d also expect to see: everything from arson and bank robberies to kidnapping, murder, and rape. But there were a couple of crimes I wasn’t expecting, such as Spiritualism, which I discussed in the last episode. But the other shocker was vampires. Of course, that was an entry I had to check out.

S2 Ep3: Spiritualism, Gypsy Curses & Psychic Stings
September 27, 2021 22:23 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBYou expect sting operations with certain criminal activities like gambling, prostitution, and illegal drugs. And then there’s Chris Hansen’s appropriately named To Catch a Predator. It uses modern-day technology employed by some of the vilest forms of criminals ever --pedophiles and child molesters-- to catch them red-handed. But what about psychics? Would it surprise you to know that police have performed stings over the years to catch psychic cons and swindlers too? That’s not to say al...

S2 Ep2: Ghosts Who Solved Their Own Murders
September 20, 2021 08:00 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MBPerhaps ghosts haven't helped solve their own murders as dramatically as portrayed in fiction --or have they? I’ll let you be the judge of that as we explore a few such cases in this episode of Haunting American True Crimes. We start off by examining the case of Zona Heaster Shue, a.k.a. The Greenbrier Ghost. A historical marker in West Virginia declares hers is the only known case in which testimony from a ghost helped convict a murderer. Testimony entered into trial may not have factored...

1: The Camp Scott Murders: A Real Life Summer Camp True Crime
September 13, 2021 08:00 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MBA comment on one of my posts from author Priscilla Bettis got me thinking. She had wondered if any of the stories counselors told around summer camp campfires had any basis in fact. Well, that sparked my curiosity and just begged me to research it. That's how I learned about the Camp Scott Murders. Once I did, I instantly wondered if it had inspired the Friday the 13th movies. Of that, I’m not sure. (It's doubtful. The writers have never admitted to it.) However, I do know it inspired t...

August 19, 2021 20:08 - 24 minutes - 22 MBPosies is a short horror film about a woman attempting to hide her transformation into a monster by placing flowers under her skin. It might not sound tantalizing at first blush, but let me assure you it's one of the most beautiful and haunting horror movies --short or long-- that I've ever seen. #superb #horror That's why I was a bit nervous talking to the directors of Posies, Katherine Fisher and R.H. Stavis (who also wrote it). It wasn't one of my best interviews. Maybe one of my most a...

Using a combination of questions from fans as well as her own, Court asked things like: What's up with Dakota's ducks? Are they in every episode and how long have they been doing that? Who drives the RV? How long does it take to research each haunted location? Would they be down to letting fans pick a location for them? What's up w...

July 09, 2021 17:56 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBIt started with a shark attack at Beach Haven, New Jersey on July 1, 1916, that killed Charles E. Van Sant. Five days later a shark would claim the life of another victim, Charles Bruder, at Spring Lake, just up the shore. Nerves were rattled but the terror really set in when two more victims, Lester Stilwell and Stanley Fisher, were killed the following week in Matawan Creek by a shark...11 miles inland!

June 28, 2021 22:48 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBThe Omni Parker House in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of three romantic historic hotels with haunted 10th floors. (The other two are The Skirvin Hilton in Oklahoma City and The Drake in Chicago.) However, the Omni Parker House may have the most active 10th floor of them all. Even better, the Omni Parker House is very open about its restless spirits.

In my review of the doc, I wrote: "I ended up getting my answer when I spoke with Jeff Belanger about his part in The Devil Made Me Do It Shock Docs. He’s one of the experts who's interviewed. But because he also shed some light on other aspects of this case too, that’ll be a post for another time." Guess what time it is? Well, it's time...
