EP 157 - Ghosts of the Goldrush | Crippled Creek, CO Mar 26, 2025

Show notes

Cripple creek Colorado started out as a gold rush boom town in the late 1800’s. Over the years it saw its share of violence, shootouts, riots and fires. Economic turbulence lead to Cripple creek effectively becoming a ghost town for many years before the legislation of legal gambling breathed life back into it in the 1990’s. Now the town is once again bustling, but its brutal history has lead to many of its buildings being haunted. Join us as we explore the old jailhouse and several of the hotel casinos that are haunted by the ghosts of Cripple Creek’s past.

EP 156 - The Ancient Ram Inn | Wotton-Under-Edge, England Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Wotton-under-Edge, a medieval market town in Gloucestershire, has seen centuries of bloodshed, plague, and war. But its most infamous site? The Ancient Ram Inn, a 12th-century former priest’s house built on a pagan burial ground. It sits on ley lines connected to Stonehenge, drawing dark energy.

With a history of child sacrifice, witchcraft, and alleged demonic activity, it’s been called England’s most haunted house. Visitors report violent spirits, shadow figures, and even physical attacks.

Some call it a portal to hell. Others? Just another night in England’s haunted history.

Join us as we journey into the heart of this rich and fascinating region, uncovering its ghostly stories, haunted places, and eeriest tales through captivating storytelling, in-depth historical research, and an immersive audio soundscape.

----

This tale, passed down through generations of Battletown families, claims that a young woman buried in the old Elizabeth Daily Cemetery continues to haunt the hills and hollers after being unjustly killed for being a witch. Her name was Leah Smock, and while the lore may not be well-known outside of the state, this likely innocent woman has the dubious legacy of being the only witch to have been burned alive in the United States. Yet, the mystery of what truly happened to Leah Smock lingers to this day, as legend asserts that her spirit still roams the woods near her grave. As the folks from the Battletown Witch Festival say, “Even though she has a scary name, the true horror is what happened to her.”

EP 154 - Seven Coffins on the Shore | Kennebunk, ME Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

Kennebunk and Kennebunkport might look like your typical charming coastal towns, but they’ve got more than their fair share of ghosts. The Isidor wrecked offshore in 1842, and some say the ship is still patrolling the shores of Maine. The Wedding Cake House isn’t just weird-looking—it’s got its own share of ghost stories. And if you’re staying at the Kennebunk Inn, don’t be surprised if you hear voices when no one’s around.
