Are the Volo Antique Malls haunted? (Episode 1087)

This episode finds me at the fabulous Volo Antique Malls, where I can easily lose myself for hours at a time. Owners/managers Keith and Lisa Santiago sat down with me to talk about collectibles and antique culture, as well as the fact that their buildings are “haunted.”

 

Seemed like the perfect time of year to dig into the latter, as paranormal tours of the facilities are being conducted along with the Volo Auto Museum.

 

Lisa and Keith were a pleasure to talk to. And yes, I easily found a few things to buy before I left the area completely.

 

Visit the Volo Antique Malls, which in their words, “aren't your stuffy grandma’s mall; we are your cool grandma’s mall.”
