Chillingham Castle Redux Feb 10, 2026

Chillingham Castle is located in Northumberland, England and dates back to the 12th century. The village of Chillingham surrounds it and the village sits between Scotland and England and so it was regularly under attack. What once was a monastery became a place of true horror with some claiming that the torture that occurred here is some of the worst in history. For this reason, many people think that this is the most haunted castle in Britain. And yet, this is a family home today. Join us for the history and hauntings of Chillingham Castle!

Campbelltown in New South Wales, Australia hosts a very peculiar annual festival. This event is called The Festival of Fisher's Ghost.

TGIY Ep. 24 - They Didn't Die Feb 01, 2026

Show notes

Nearly everyone, if they could choose the way they die, would say they want to die warm in their bed, asleep. No pain. Just peace. But an even better choice would be not to die at all. That happened for two men in the Bible: Enoch and Elijah. They were just whisked away by YAHWEH. Why did they get this special treatment? Even Yeshua had to die. There are some who believe that this special exception to the Biblical precept that mortals are appointed to die once was also given to the Apostle John. Some believe that John never died and may still be among us.

The Nemacolin Castle is also known as the Bowman's Castle and is found in Brownsville, Pennsylvania.

The Bowman family built the castle and three generations lived here before it became the museum it is today. There are claims that nearly a dozen ghosts haunt the property.

Dumas Brothel Redux Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

We covered this historic and famous brothel back on Ep. 120 in 2016. This is one of the few haunted locations we have found in Montana and it is located in Butte. The town has its roots in mining and was known as the "Richest Hill on Earth." Gold, silver and copper were all mined here. As was the case with so many mining towns, a successful red light district grew within the town. One of the most successful and high-class brothels in town was the Dumas Brothel. Rich clientele could have their fantasies met here, but there was also pleasure for the working class in the basement, which ran like a sex mill. The brothel passed through many hands and has the reputation of being the longest running brothel in the country. And it seems that clients and the girls are still hanging out here in the afterlife. Several entities are thought to haunt this building. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Dumas Brothel!
