March 06, 2024 12:53 - 1 hour - 73.1 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! We’ve got a historic episode this week, literally. Full of history. First up Kala talks about Anne Boleyn and the many places she haunts. This woman has been vilified throughout history, but was she the villain or was she a victim? And has this caused her to stick around multiple locations long after death? And Brittany tells us about the Royal Hope Hospital in St. Augustine, FL. Playing an important part in many wars, this location has seen a lot of death, an...
Episode 160: "I bet that PR guy got fired."
February 28, 2024 06:11 - 1 hour - 85.2 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday folks! We’re going full X-Files this week with a Kala takeover where she discusses the Roswell incident and Area 51. In the late 1940’s a mysterious and unidentified object crash landed in a field. This was followed by leading newspaper headlines, sketchy government involvement, and way too many conspiracy theories to count. This is, by far, one of the most referenced events when people discuss the mystery that is Area 51. But what is really going on out there in the N...
Episode 159: “12 days gone and just mad about a belt buckle”
February 21, 2024 13:29 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! We’ve got a Brittany episode take over this week as she finishes telling us the extremely interesting tale of Mel’s Hole. And if you think you know the direction this story is going, trust us, you’d be wrong. When Art checks back in with Mel, it turns out he’d had quite the ride, including but not limited to: - saving wombats in Australia - losing almost two weeks of his life and his teeth - discovering other mystery holes out there - possibly finding a c...
Episode 158: "Art's stirring the pot!"
February 14, 2024 06:01 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday! We have a very Art Bell-heavy episode for you today. First, Kala talks about one of the most famous calls on Coast to Coast AM, the Area 51 caller. A frantic man called into the show and claimed that he used to work for Area 51. After a short and panicked conversation, the transmission was lost, and so was the call. Coincidence or interference? People have theories, but no one knows for sure. And Brittany continues on with the story of Mel’s Hole. After the continued i...
Episode 157: "“Keep me away from Mel’s Hole”
February 07, 2024 06:01 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, and welcome back to our regularly scheduled programming! This week Kala starts with the ultimate of all deep sea cryptids, The Kraken! This legendary monster has been blamed for centuries as the reason for the disappearance of ships and sailors. But is it real? And if it’s real, is it paranormal? All we know for sure is most of the ocean is unexplored and really freaking scary. And Brittany tells us all about Mel’s Hole. We promise it’s not as dirty as it sounds, but i...
Episode 156: True Crime January | Glensheen
January 31, 2024 13:22 - 1 hour - 83.9 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday! For our last week of True Crime January we are heading home and revisiting a location from our first-ever episode! Glensheen Mansion is a gorgeous, historic building on the shores of Lake Superior in Duluth, MN. Built for a family that helped build Duluth as we know it today, it would be interesting just for its structure. But it’s got more than that going for it… it’s got ghosts. For decades, employees and visitors alike have reported strange experiences in the house ...
Episode 155: True Crime January | Sayre House Murders
January 24, 2024 07:43 - 59 minutes - 56.5 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! It is the fourth week of True Crime January, and this week we are telling you about the Sayre House Murders. While the events that happened in the home are tragic, they are nothing compared to the bizarre series of events that happened after the suspect was apprehended. What will you find the weirdest? The sentencing? The science experiments? The accessories made from murderer skin? Or the fact that this building became a string of different restaurants until...
Episode 154: True Crime January | The Axeman of New Orleans
January 17, 2024 06:21 - 1 hour - 79.8 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday! For our third week of 2024 True Crime January, we’ve got the notorious Axeman of New Orleans. This serial killer stalked New Orleans and the surrounding areas in the early 1900s. For over a year, this man brutally ended the lives of many using the tools he found in the homes, especially axes. The Axeman was never identified, and the murders remain unsolved. Is his spirit still lingering on the streets of New Orleans? Or is it just a bad memory that continues to plague...
Episode 153: True Crime January | The Savannah Axe Murders
January 10, 2024 06:01 - 58 minutes - 55.2 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, dear listeners! We are in the second week of True Crime January 2024, and we are covering "the most diabolical crime ever committed in Savannah," the Savannah Axe Murders, sometimes known as the Gribble House murders. This triple homicide caused widespread panic in the city, and it quickly became national news. After a LARGE string of (bullsh*t) arrests in Savannah, they finally caught the killer. We wish that was the end of the story, but sadly, this is a messy, ter...
Episode 152: True Crime January | Ed Gein
January 03, 2024 06:01 - 1 hour - 59.7 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday! Happy New Year! Happy first week of True Crime January! We’re starting this month with a discussion on Ed Gein, also known as the Butcher of Plainfield. He was an American murderer, suspected serial killer and grave robber. Gein's crimes, committed around Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety in the late 50s after authorities discovered that he had dug up corpses from local graveyards and built furniture from their bones and skin. He also confessed to ki...
Episode 151: "A great gift for a less than loved one!"
December 27, 2023 06:25 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! For our last episode of the year we’ve got a cursed object and a haunted house. How classic! First up, Kala talks about The Anguished Man. This painting is located in the UK, and it’s more than just a creepy piece of art. Just ask it’s owner. If you find yourself with this painting in your home, you can expect to hear strange noises such as disembodied screaming, have doors and objects moving on their own, and even the see the strange shadowy figure of a man thr...
Episode 150: " Sinister Klaas a.k.a Daddy December 😉"
December 20, 2023 06:01 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday and Happy Holidays, y'all! We've got an episode to tell you all about the reason for the season... giant cats and magical men. First up, Kala talks about Jólakötturinn, or Yule Cat. This creepy kitty wanders towns in Iceland on Christmas Eve to find out which children have been doing their chores and which have not. You better hope you have a new pair of socks in those Christmas presents, or the Yule Cat may eat your dinner and then eat you! We promise it makes more se...
Episode 149: “We are hooded and we’re on a mission"
December 13, 2023 06:01 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! We’ve got classic tales of a haunted museum, church, and cemetery this week! First up Kala tells us all about the Yunker Farm Children’s Museum in Fargo, ND. This 1800s farmhouse turned children’s educational experience is fun for the whole family, both alive and ghostly. The former missus of the house loves that her home is a fun place for kiddos, and she makes sure her warm and friendly presence is felt. And Brittany shares the story of the St. James Cemeter...
Left of Skeptic THROWBACK
December 06, 2023 06:01 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBHey y'all, we are taking a much-needed break this week, so we're doing a THROWBACK to one of our sexiest (what?) episodes... episode 69 - where Kala covers spectrophelia. We talk about love-making sessions with ghosts (what??) as well as the tragic tale of Jean Harlow. Straight from the vault, when we used to record remotely! Wow! Anyways... On to the episode! Fair warning… this episode is NSFW. It is the Spooky Wednesday that Kala had been waiting for… Episode 69! Kala starts the episode w...
Episode 148: "Not a Petti-bone in her body."
November 29, 2023 06:01 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBappy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! This week we've got classic stories in the form of a haunted hotel and a creepy college campus. First up, Kala talks about The Excelsior House Hotel in Jefferson, TX. Jefferson is a haunted little city, and this hotel is one of its hot spots. Allegedly, it's creepy enough to scare away one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Who will you encounter if you visit? The woman in black? The perfumed lady? The headless soldier? All three? If you do visit, do you thi...
Episode 147: "A UFO is like a beautiful woman..."
November 22, 2023 12:06 - 1 hour - 69.2 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday folks! We’re hitting two different categories of the paranormal this week with a tale of an alien abduction and an old, haunted inn. First, Kala discusses the Travis Walton Incident. In the 70s, Walton went missing, and when he returned he said he had been taken by beings in a UFO. While he’s been able to make a lifelong career out of his story, we are not so easily convinced, and it sounds like many others aren’t as well. And Brittany tells us all about the Old Faith...
Episode 146: “…because crime”
November 15, 2023 06:01 - 1 hour - 69 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, dearests! This week we’ve got two locations that scream “Tale as old as time.” First up, we have Kala discussing the Ashmore Estates in Ashmore, IL. This old building that used to operate as an almshouse is active enough that nearly everyone who visits has an experience. So who will you meet? The man who was hit by a train? The child who just wants attention? Or the unnamed worker who has a problem with women in his boiler room? And Brittany tells us all about The Oxf...
Epsiode 145: “It’s not Dracula, it’s just this a**hole”
November 08, 2023 06:01 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! Brittany is taking over this week with a story of the North Carolina house known as “Nannie”. Better known as the Poplar Hill Mansion, this historic home surprised one family when they moved in 2014. They definitely got more than they bargained for when they encountered the strange apparitions of women circling the property, unexplained noises, moving objects, and many other paranormal occurrences. When they dug into the history of the building and the land sur...
Episode 144: "She hates her job and she hates you"
November 01, 2023 05:01 - 58 minutes - 54.9 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! We’re back to our regularly scheduled programming with two haunted locations and a kooky case of psychokinesis. First up Kala talks about the Alliance Theater in Alliance, NE, which is said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman who died during a performance. Then she talks about the Mill Ruins Park in Minneapolis, MN. This site of the Great Mill Disaster may be a park now, but it seems like the ghosts don’t want us to forget this is the place where they met the...
Episode 143: "It was just flesh eating bananas"
October 25, 2023 13:59 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday and HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE! It is our last week of Urban Legends October for 2023 and we are excited to bring you some truly classic urban legends this week! First up, Kala talks about the various types of Freaky Food stories we’ve been telling one another for decades. Tales of flesh-eating bananas, mutant chickens, and poisoned candy have been plaguing us for decades. Is there any truth behind these rumors, or have we been swallowing bullsh*t? And Brittany tells u...
Episode 142: "All that Small Shark Energy"
October 18, 2023 12:02 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, and welcome back to our 3rd annual Urban Legends October! It's "travel week", where we pick another country and cover some of our favorite urban legends from that area! This year we’re traveling to Australia, where deadly creatures both real and legend exist in abundance. First, Kala talks about Drop Bears. This creature is one of the most well-known cryptids of the country. Even if almost everyone knows they’re a myth, it doesn’t stop the locals from using tales of ...
Episode 141: "It's those White Boy Gangs"
October 11, 2023 05:29 - 1 hour - 103 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! We are in the second week of Urban Legends October, and you know what that means! CREEPYPASTAS! That's right, this week we're covering those scary stories that have been copied and pasted around the internet so many times that people may not even know their origin and may not know whether or not they are true. First, Kala tells the story of "Abandoned by Disney" and then delves a bit into the history of the abandoned buildings and ghosts of The Most Magical Pla...
Episode 140: "Did it for the lolz 👻"
October 04, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 86.5 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday and happy Spooky Season, one and all! We’re so excited to be starting out the 3rd annual Urban Legends October with the ever-amazing Adam Herman! We’re starting out the creepy month right with the super creepy game known as Three Kings. Calling it a game may be a stretch, it’s more of a ritual. Have you ever wanted your questions answered? Have you considered you may not like the answers given? If you can make it through the ritual, be prepared for unexpected results. ...
Epsidoe 139: "Bathsheda vs. Bethesda"
September 27, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, friends! We hope you’re enjoying your fall as much as we are! We’ve got two haunted locations for you this evening, and both of them are waaaaaay old. Kala talks about The Farm on Round Top Road in Rhode Island, also known as The Conjuring House. This farmhouse inspired the movie The Conjuring, and the paranormal activity in the house is just as scary. It just may be one of the most haunted houses in America, especially if you believe the stories told by the Perron fa...
Episode 138: "Stairs John, not Arsenic John."
September 20, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday to all of our favorite spooky friends! This week, Kala continues the Barry Taff discussion with the investigation story of the Doris Bither Case, better known as The Entity haunting. A young woman with four small kids, Doris Bither already had to handle the stress of getting by as a single mom, but that stress was amplified by a near-constant haunting in her Culver City home. Was this a poltergeist or telekinesis brought on by pressures of life as a woman in the 70s? An...
Episode 137: "It spelled out J-E-F-F."
September 13, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, dears! We've kept you on your toes long enough! This week, Brittany is bringing you the spine-chilling conclusion to The San Pedro Haunting! It turns out poor Jackie, Jeff, and the Barrys didn't get enough haunting activity and had to up the ante with a terrifying Ouija board experience. And just when they thought (again) that the experience was over, the haunting followed the family some more. But before we dive into that terrifying tale, Kala brings some lightheart...
Episode 136: "Poor Jeff…”
September 06, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! We’ve got one happy haunting for you this week, and one very unhappy haunting. First, Kala talks about The Grand in Oshkosh, WI, and by gosh, it’s just so wholesome. No tragic tales sparked the ghosties here. As far as we can tell, it’s just some theater nerds who stuck around because they loved that business we call show. A lifelong caretaker, enthusiastic audience members, and a mischievous pup are just some of the specters you may encounter at this theate...
Episode 135: "Hail a cab. Cannon a ferry."
August 30, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! This week we've got a petrifying prison and a paralyzing plantation. Kala discusses The Old Idaho Penitentiary in Boise, ID. Built before Idaho was even a state, this facility saw executions, riots, and death due to the poor conditions in which the prisoners were kept. As a result, there are a multitude of spirits still stuck in the building where they were held. Tourists, employees, and paranormal investigators have reported many classic haunting occurrences ...
Episode 134: “He’s actually really dead”
August 23, 2023 13:53 - 1 hour - 82.8 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday! This week we've got creepy stories galore! Kala talks about Gore Orphanage Road & Swift's Hallow in Vermillion, OH. Once Kala gets over her urge to sing Hawthorne Heights, she ends up telling us a surprisingly complicated tale where the line between truth and urban legend gets awfully blurry. The ruins of this orphanage that existed, but may not have existed as the stories said, is a popular location for "legend tripping". This leaves us wondering if the location is a...
Episode 133: "Ouija Boards don't kill people."
August 16, 2023 12:15 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! First up this week, Kala has an important question: Alien or Cryptid? The Flatwoods Monster scared the butts off some West Virginia residents back in 1952. There are three different documented occurrences of this creature all within the same year, and it didn't make a great impression with its weird shaped head, glowing red eyes, metallic dress, and terrible smell. The whole "crashing down from the sky" thing didn't seem to help much either. While we may feel ...
Episode 132: "Grandma or... demon?"
August 09, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday everyone! It’s Brittany’s birthday week! We’re celebrating with a creepy castle and the history of one of the most recognizable paranormal objects in the world. Kala tells us all about the Burg Wolfsegg in Wolfsegg, Germany. Gothic architecture, a mysterious hole, and a lady in white? What could be better than that? And Brittany talks about the history and creation of one of the best divination objects: the Ouija board! If you haven’t picked up on this from previous ep...
Episode 131: "A Wonky Donkey"
August 02, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 72 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday! Kala is back from vacation just in time for a giggly little podcast. We start with Kala talking about the Eloise Psychiatric Hospital, or Eloise Asylum, in Westland, MI. This is one of the most haunted locations in Michigan. Are we surprised? Nope. We know how these old abandoned hospitals go. Multiple paranormal investigators have found EVPs, seen misty figures, and heard strange disembodied voices within its halls. And what a bonus for the public that this haunted fo...
Episode 130: "Murder Mystery dinner parties, in a house named after a casket they found in the basement."
July 26, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 60 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, dear listeners! We hope your summer is going well! We've got a bloodcurdling bed & breakfast and an ill-fated island for you this week. First up, Kala talks about the Periwinkle Place Manor B&B in Chelsea, IA. Don't let this adorable name fool you, this building has some spirits lurking about. It was once a funeral home, and luckily it found an owner who embraces its morbid past. This lady is someone we'd love to have as a friend. We can do some murder mysteries, sing...

July 19, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 74 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, folks! It's Kala's birthday week! And she is celebrating by covering one of her favorite haunted U.S. locations: The Queen Mary! This ship has gone from a luxury liner to a wartime terrifier to a spooky hotel in less than 100 years! She has seen her fair share of tragedy, from fallen soldiers to crushed crewmembers, and she has the ghosts to prove it. Would you dare spend a vacation knowing you may be sharing your hotel room with a ghost who finds you to be a 'hassle'...
Episode 128: "Fine. No one's an abomination..."
July 12, 2023 05:01 - 59 minutes - 54.2 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, our loves! This week we’ve got a classic haunting and a cursed soul for your enjoyment. Kala talks about Casa Loma in Toronto, Ontario. This mansion/castle was built in the early 1900s. The only tragedy that seems to have befallen this place is that it’s original owners couldn’t afford the upkeep, but that hasn’t prevented the place from being haunted. A woman in white, a handsy man in the tunnels, and a tape-stealing lady of the house are just some of the ghosts you m...
Episode 127: “hypoallergenic cat demon”

Each recreation area is haunted in different ways, but they all have tragic occurrences in their history that may be the cause of the hauntings. Pick ...

June 28, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, one and all! This week we're heading to the east coast to talk about historic locations, famous authors, literary puns, and ghosts galore! Kala is covering the Westminster Hall & Burying Grounds in Baltimore, MD. This cemetery is known for being the final resting place of Edgar Allen Poe, along with many war veterans and politicians throughout history. It could have ended up like every other cemetery, except they decided to build a church right in the middle of it... ...
Episode 125: "Capital H - Haunted"
June 21, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! We’ve got two locations this week to tingle your spines and bump your gooses! Kala starts it off with the Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, TX! This location is home to 9 different spirits, some that we know the names of, some that we don’t, and all of them vocal. If you choose to stay in this mansion overnight, be prepared to have motion-activated decorations go off out of nowhere, phantom hands touch your hair, and not-so-sweet nothings whispered in you...
Episode 124: “It's a Hoedown Hodag”
June 14, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 62.1 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, one and all! We’re doing a call-back episode this week, calling back to last week and to two years ago. We start out with an explanation of those controversial ghost-hunting apps we discussed last week. Take this information and decide whether or not you trust them. It seems similar to the vinyl vs MP3 debate. Then Kala harkens back to episode 7 of the podcast with a deeper dive into the fearsome critter known as the Hodag. This cryptid is famous, especially in Rhinela...

Episode 123: "The Big Three: Alcohol Addiction, Menopause, and Tuberculosis."
June 07, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 71.4 MBHappy Spooky Wednesday, dear listeners! This week we've got two haunted locations known by many different names. We start with Kala discussing "Old Main" Utica State Hospital in Utica, NY. This facility was considered groundbreaking in the mid-1800s as they attempted to move towards more compassionate care of patients (though, as we've learned, what they considered compassionate back then was still pretty barbaric.) It's known as one of the most haunted places in upstate New York, but becaus...
Episode 122: "I'm glad that you got defrocked."
