"We've all seen Poltergeist. Rule number one: leave Indian burial grounds alone!" While a good rule of thumb for all of our ghoulish listeners, unfortunately Poltergeist didn't exist in the 1800's or today's subject might have second guessed his decisions.
In part due to Stephen's love of the Haunted Mansion ride, as a kid he and his friends became obsessed with real life haunted houses and discovered that not too far outside of Los Angeles in Redlands, CA there's the Barton Villa, one of California's oldest haunts. Constructed in 1866, it's the oldest surviving house in Redlands, though with a place as haunted as Barton Villa you can imagine no one ever wanted to go near it to even consider getting rid of it!
What strange happenings occurred to give Barton Villa its reputation? What memories has Stephen kept of it after all these years that haunt him still? Tune-in to find out the answers to these questions and more!

“What I'm saying is you're forgiven because pretty people are allowed to make mistakes... no that was so horrible! Oh my god Stephen, that's like something we say in private.” (18:22-18:29 | Christi & Stephen)
“Watch I'm going to get like sued by Disney. Though this is like in the past and they didn't catch me. And I could just be making this up for clout... so that's what I'm doing." (35:34-35:47 | Stephen)
“This is why we're both pretty, we don't do this stuff.” (44:36-44:39 | Stephen)
