Paranormal Peeps

A ghost that can copy your face, sit on your porch while you’re miles away, and keep you trapped in a brutal death rattle until you “pass it on” to your kid? That is where our deep dive into Hantu spirits begins, and it only gets stranger from there.

We’re Josh, Jamey, and Aleca, and we’re digging into Malaysian and Indonesian paranormal folklore where “Hantu” is a broad category for...

A hilltop mansion with panoramic views should feel like a reward. Pittock Mansion often feels like a warning. We head to Portland, Oregon to unpack the real history behind this 46-room landmark, then follow the trail of reports that refuse to fade: heavy footsteps on empty stairs, doors that won’t stay locked, cold spots that hit like a wall, and photos that seem to catch someone standing where no one should be.

We sta...

A beer empire. A 33-room mansion. A cave system underneath it all. Then the gunshots start, the family name collapses, and the house develops a reputation that refuses to die. We’re Josh, Jamie, and Elisa, and we’re taking you deep into the Lemp Mansion story in St. Louis, Missouri, where real American history and modern paranormal reports collide in the same hallways. 

We walk through the rise of Western Br...

A quiet dirt road, a beautiful old house, and a history that refuses to stay buried. We head to Fonti Flora Plantation in Blair, South Carolina, where even the basic facts feel unsettled, including conflicting accounts of when the home was built and why so many sources disagree. From there, the story opens into a classic haunted plantation timeline: enormous acreage tied to a dowry, generational losses that literally gamble the lan...

A volcano can be measured by seismographs; a legend needs a different kind of instrument. We head to Mount Shasta, the California peak that has inspired a century of reports about Lemurians, hidden cities, lenticular “cloaks,” and startling disappearances—and we ask what holds up when the fog of myth lifts.

We start with the bold map laid down by researcher Wishar S. Survey, who argued that an ancient conti...

A bandit’s bolthole, a sheriff’s showcase, a wartime hospital—McRaven House compresses centuries into a single haunted address, and it doesn’t whisper so much as answer back. We dive into the Pioneer roots of 1797, where highwayman Andrew Glass built a one-story hideout on the Natchez Trace, then follow the 1836 Empire-style expansion by Sheriff Stephen Howard and the 1849 Greek Revival polish from brickmake...

Some houses feel alive. Ours begins on a bright corner of the French Quarter where music and laughter once slipped through open windows—and where a locked attic hid the kind of cruelty that still turns the air heavy. We follow Madame Delphine LaLaurie’s ascent through power and privilege, from celebrated socialite to a figure whose legacy is etched in screams neighbors swore they heard at night. Wealth, influence, a you...

The wind off the Red River doesn’t just howl, it tells stories. We’re in Fargo, North Dakota, digging into the haunted lore that clings to a city built on railroads, fast growth, and the parts of history people try to bury. First stop is the Hollow, Fargo’s original red light district, where Malvina Macy built the Crystal Palace and became a “well-known character” in town history. Today the building is...

What happens when a viral app asks you to think of “death,” “scared,” or “answers” and then sends you to a random point on the map? We take a clear-eyed tour through Randonautica’s strangest stories—EVPs in bright daylight, a rusted car on an ATV trail, a roadside fence lined with burnt dolls, and the headline-grabbing Seattle suitcase case—while asking whether intention steers ...

A rail town bar with a brothel upstairs. A mob-friendly speakeasy with a basement meant for settling scores. A fire that nearly erased it all—and a renovation that seemed to wake the house. We head to the Old Baraboo Inn in Wisconsin to pull the thread on a history that refuses to fade and the hauntings that line up a little too neatly with the past.

We start with the Inn’s origins and its connection to Chicago v...

Ever notice how one date can hijack your imagination? We’re pulling the mask off Friday the 13th and following its trail from medieval warnings and biblical symbolism to stock market lore, slasher-era storytelling, and the everyday rituals people still swear by. With a mix of history, myth, and measurable facts, we test whether the world is truly more dangerous on this date—or whether our brains are simply better at rem...

A drowned town, unmarked graves, and a lake that keeps pulling people under—Lake Lanier is more than a popular getaway. We dig into the 1912 murder of May Crow, the racial terror that emptied Oscarville, and the federal project that flooded homes, barns, bridges, and church pews while leaving countless unmarked graves behind. That buried history shapes everything that comes next: a staggering number of deaths, vanishings that...

Ready for a season that actually hits the road? We’re opening Season Six with a plan that’s equal parts ambitious and grounded: Waverly Hills is booked, and six more investigations are mapped across a multi-state route designed to bring you new stories, new evidence, and a few legendary locations with fresh eyes. After a year packed with real-life detours, we’re back with a tighter strategy, better pacing, and a p...

A basement fire, a desperate escape, and a suitcase full of contradictions turned the Hotel Congress into one of the Southwest’s most enduring ghost stories. We head to downtown Tucson to unravel how a 1918 rail-side hotel became ground zero for Dillinger’s capture and a century of spectral lore, then walk room by room through the encounters that keep investigators coming back.

We start with the history: Congress...

The quiet streets of Baraboo hide a thundering past. We head straight into Circus City’s living history—where the Ringling Brothers built their empire—and follow a single case that starts with an old house, a fallen barn, and a family desperate for sleep, then spirals into one of the strangest hauntings we’ve explored. When sledgehammer blows rattle the walls, a window bursts without warning, and a goldfish ...

A modest council house on Green Street shouldn’t turn into a stage for flying toys, hot marbles, and a chair that slides on command—but that’s where our night begins. We pull apart the Enfield Haunting with a clear lens: not just what was claimed, but who saw what, when, and how the story held together across months of pressure, fatigue, and scrutiny. From neighbors who fled next door, to a police constable who wa...

The corridors of Athens Lunatic Asylum echo with over a century of troubled history. For 119 years, this imposing Gothic structure in Athens, Ohio served as home to thousands of patients – many of whom never should have been there in the first place.

What began as a forward-thinking facility designed according to Thomas Kirkbride's humane principles eventually devolved into a crowded warehouse of human suffering. The s...

The story of the Bell Witch stands as America's most vicious haunting—a tale so disturbing it's hard to believe it happened at all. Long before ghost hunting apps and night vision cameras, this malevolent spirit terrorized a frontier family with shocking physical power and psychological cruelty.

When respected farmer John Bell spotted a strange creature in his Tennessee cornfield in 1817, he couldn't have imagined it w...
