S7 E4. High Life Ski Club
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. Two psychic brothers hold a seance in a ski club. No? Well great, this week we discuss the former home of the Eddy brothers. Mediums that captivated Vermont and put Chitteden on the map as Spirit Capital of the Universe. Yes, the universe. But was it all smoke and mirrors or were the two the real deal? And did they leave anything behind for those now using the home as a getaway? Let’s find out together! We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our

S7 E3. Iolani Palace
This week, we’re heading to Hawaiʻi’s ʻIolani Palace, where more than a century of history has left behind some royally interesting stories. We have apparitions, a cigar loving queen, and one ghost who apparently knows a thing or two about losing his head…

S7 E2. The Forbidden City
Episode two and we are already international! We are talking about The Forbidden City in China this week where we learn about ghost culture in China, get a history lesson in Dynasties, and - you'll never believe it- a woman in black. She travels all over the world! I'd have a snappy remark about something hilarious we probably said in this episode but honestly, I cannot remember a thing we said. I'll listen with ya'll and get back to you! Until then, enjoy this weeks episode! We'd appreciate it

S7 E1. Rockcliffe Mansion
Hey, how ya'll doin? Sorry we ghosted you in season Six. The spring was a lot. The summer was more. But now we are back! Kicking season 7 with some hot historical goss coming from the Rockcliffe Mansion in Missouri. We've got affairs and scandal and histor-tea galore with this one. Along with a former owner who just refuses to move out, even in the afterlife. We are so happy to talk ghosts and gossip with you all again! Here's to a fantastic fall season! We'd appreciate it if you took a moment

S6 E6. Castle of Good Hope
Pack your bags, we’re heading to Cape Town. The views are gorgeous, the history is messy, and the castle looks way too cheerful for what went down inside. We’ve got colonial drama, questionable decisions, a dungeon called the Dark Hole (subtle), and a governor who may have been taken out by karma mid-power trip.

S6 E5. The Black Forest
Into the woods, it's time to go! Well actually the Black Forest. One of the most mysterious and mythical places in the world as far as we are concerned. We have moss women, headless horsemen, a terrifyingly tall man, and bad geography. Germany has some fascinating paranormal and cryptid tales lurking in those trees.

S6 E4. The Greenbriar Ghost
Today’s episode features a short marriage, a suspicious death, a doctor who wrote “everlasting faint” on a death certificate, and a murder trial that took a wild turn. We’re heading to Greenbrier County, West Virginia, where the history is dramatic, the investigation is questionable, and this story somehow ends up involving an exhumation, a courtroom, and a situation that no one saw coming.

S6 E3. Raynham Hall
Brown lady, Brown lady, what do you see? I see a Colonel shooting at me! Where exactly? Your not in Kansas Dorothy (that's the ghost btw), you're in Raynham Hall in Norfolk England! Where the ghost is active, the men are gross, and the history goes way back. Do we know how to pronounce things? Not really. Do we figure out roman numerals? Eventually! We're trying our best. So sit back, close your eyes, and astral project into this location with us! We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to he

S6 E2. Sunland Hospitals
This week we’re heading to Florida and taking the elevator down into the history of the Sunland Training Center. A place that started with hopeful intentions, but somewhere along the way the whole system seemed to drop a few floors. Today the buildings are mostly gone, but rumors still have a way of rising back up. We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

S6 E1. McRaven Mansion
We are back with season six! Thanks for letting us take a break, we're ready to jump back into the ghost tour trolley. Metaphorically. This week we talk about McRaven Mansion in Mississippi. We have a lot of owners haunting this place from a highway man, to a former lady of the house, and maybe a whole family? We also have a murder, neck beards to discuss, and of course Civil War lore. Welcome back ghosts and ghouls! We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and revi

S5 E10. Chillingham Castle
For our final episode of the season, we limp our way across the Atlantic to Chillingham Castle, a medieval fortress that spent centuries collecting war trauma like it was a hobby. Sitting on one of the most violently contested borders in British history, this place didn’t need ghosts to become unsettling, the documented history already chose violence.

S5 E9. The Winchester House
Our lives have been as chaotic as this location. We mind travel to California (not Tennessee) to talk about the infamous Winchester House. It's massive and confusing floorplan was a strange comfort to your two hosts who have all but lost their minds toward the end of this season. The house's foundations are supposedly built on spirit stories. But what is other worldly and what is just weird? We try to find the line but dammit, the staircase to nowhere keeps getting us. We'd appreciate it if you

S5 E8. Old Idaho Penitentiary
Hey there! We're not making excuses, we'll go to podcast jail. Or at least, we'll talk about a jail on this podcast. Old Idaho Penitentary was an awful place full of dangerous inmates. Is it any surprise it's reportedly haunted? We talk about some of the ghosts who are still locked up in there as well as some throw back ghost movies.

S5 E7. The Witch House
Happy Halloween! In honor of FOUR years of Ghosts and Ghouls we decided to take a trip to Salem and get a little witchy. We talk about The Witch house, supposedly haunted and with a family curse. We discuss horoscopes, folklore, and get confused about our own personal history. If this episode sounds a little like frankenstien's monster bear with us, Kristen helped in editing again.

S5 S6. Fort Delaware
Pop Quiz: What's the Capital of Delaware? It's okay, we didn't know either, and it isn't Delaware City. But that is whereabouts Fort Delaware is with all the ghosts of pirates and soldiers past. It's on an adorably named island but has a rough history. We find out who actually died there, listen to some screaming, and realize Kristen doesn't remember anything about the last 134 episodes.

S5 E5. Shoshone Ice Caves
Brrrr it's cold in here, must be some ice crusted spirits in the atmosphere! Anyway, we're in Idaho talking about a very cool (heh) location called the Shoshone Ice Caves. Apparently the spirit of an Native American Princess was trapped there when she was buried in the caves. Now she's begging to get out. Or is she? We also talk about big bears and small cannibal dwarves. Oh, and Kristen's crush on the Jersey Devil. We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and revi

S5 E4. Ghosts of Tybee Island
If you’re a long time listener you’ll know that we usually take an annual pilgrimage to one of the most haunted cities in the US. This year is no different! We headed to Savannah, GA this episode but with a twist. We drove just a little further to take a ghost tour in Tybee Island. We talked ghosts, aliens, cryptids, and heard some terrible karaoke. But is Tybee Haunted enough for a ghost tour? Decide for yourself!

S5 E3. Hutchinson Public Library
Shhh! Keep your voice down, this is a library. Or at least this is an episode about the Hutchinson Public Library. A haunted one at that though it seems like there is a little bit of main character syndrome going on with the ghost. Seems like the librarian who worked here couldn't keep away for long, even in death. We love libraries even if they aren't haunted like the Hutchinson supposedly is. Let us know if you've found anything creepy in the stacks of your local library too! We'd appreciate

S5 E2. Glore Psychiatric Museum
It's a night at the museum, but one about mental health, not mentalist like Kristen may have thought. We've got a potential new Bingo game in the making so make sure you make a note of our favorite disease this episode. Other than that we have replicas, EVPs, and a lot of undigested metals. Sounds weird? For us too. We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

S5 E1. Monte Cristo Homestead
Boo! Did we scare you? Welcome to Season Five of Haunted or Hoax! We hope things didn't get too frightening while we were on summer break. We're kicking off this season by getting the heck out of the US and looking at a Homestead in Australia. It had a sordid past with a bunch of drama that's left alleged spirits roaming. We even have the pictures to prove it! Sort of. Maybe? You'll just have to listen and check our Instagram to determine for yourself. We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to
