Ep. 86 – The Ghost Trials

The strange story of ghosts and the law

Ghosts and the law don’t seem like two things that go together. But throughout history there have been several instances where the two intersect. In this episode we tell you about several ghosts that solved their own murders, about the only legally haunted house in the United States and the time when testimony from a ghost was used in court.

Ep. 85 – The Skeptic

The story of a noted skeptic, and what happened when he attempted to debunk ghosts

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, spiritualism was all the rage across America. People across the country regularly visited so-called psychic mediums to communicate with ghosts. But in 1874, an ardent skeptic of the paranormal heard about a pair of brothers from Vermont, who claimed to be able to conjure the spirits of the dead on their rural farm. What happened next would change that skeptic’s life forever.

Ep. 74 – The House of Many Doors

The secret history of the Winchester Mystery House.

To some, the Winchester Mystery House is considered to be the most haunted house in the world. It’s maze like corridors and stairways that go nowhere just seem like a natural location for ghosts. But what is the history of this bizarre, sprawling mansion? And was there something more that drove Sarah Winchester to build and keep building until she died?
