Hometown Ghost Stories
Hometown Ghost Stories dives into the history of haunted locations and investigates why and how these places earned their terrifying reputation. Rob, Dave and Jesse go live every Tuesday night, after a 15-20 minute uninterrupted, documentary-style breakdown on the case. You can even join the show - as many do, during the live broadcasts on YouTube, Tuesday nights at 9pm EST, as we talk ghosts, demons, poltergeists, and the horrifying true tales that led to these hauntings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We explore the elegant Verdier House, the crumbling Chapel of Ease and the Castle: a sprawling mansion haunted by both Civil War soldiers and a presence unlike anything we've encountered before.
