From haunted hotels in Denver to ancestral rituals in Mesopotamia, this Halloween special of The Boo Room explores how the veil between worlds thins across continents. Host Tyler Terry reports on Denver’s ghost-ridden landmarks, Tennessee’s restless spirits, modern witches reclaiming Samhain in the Pacific Northwest, and Spain’s ban on black-cat adoptions. Plus: a newly uncovered New Hampshire witch-trial archive and a viral Texas werewolf sighting and more.
