1000 Lombard Street Part 2 (San Francisco, CA) Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Picking up right where they left off in the story of 1000 Lombard Street, Hadley and Alyssa discuss the strange circumstances of a tragic fire that broke out at the apartment in 1969. The co-hosts recount the steps Pat Montandon took to find closure after the passing of three close friends who each spent time at the apartment with her. They also ponder the possible connection to the fateful astrology-themed house party Montandon had thrown during her first few weeks in the home. Later, the duo is joined by Stephanie Campos, a healer, astrologist, and good witch, who helps them further unpack the apartment’s history. Campos also weighs in on the natal charts of Montandon and the co-hosts themselves, and answers some of their biggest astrology questions.

Alyssa and Hadley recount the bizarre story of 657 Boulevard in Westfield, New Jersey, which became the target of an anonymous stalker who sent threatening letters to the new owners, Derek and Maria Broaddus, just days after they bought the house in 2014.

Hadley and Alyssa discuss the Kasha House of Kaimuki in Honolulu where, for years, occupants have reported attacks by an “unseen” force.

Later, Alyssa and Hadley are joined by Lopaka Kapanui, a native Hawaiian storyteller, tour guide, and medium, who shares his own experience with the Kasha, as well as stories from other haunted hot spots on Oahu.
