Prisons had once been thought of as just holding areas to punish people.  In the late 1800s, a movement started that aspired to a higher ideal of  reform, rather than punishment. Eastern State Penitentiary was built to  launch that reformation in the American penal system. The prison's  edifice is formidable and resembles a castle. This eventually became the  most famous prison in the world. The prison ran for 142 years and today  serves as a museum that offers both historical and ghost tours and  hunts. Officers, inmates, staff and visitors have all reported haunting  activity for decades at the  prison. Join us as  we explore the history and hauntings of the Eastern State Penitentiary!

The Outer Banks stretch for 200 miles from southeastern Virginia to Shackleford Banks in North Carolina. The Atlantic that borders its eastern side is known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic because of the hundreds of shipwrecks that have occurred here.

A key figure in history connected to the Lower Islands of the Outer Banks was Blackbeard the pirate. He came to his violent end here. There are numerous haunted locations and legends in the Outer Banks. On this first episode of our Outer Banks Series, we are going to explore the history and hauntings of the Lower Islands!

Dr. T. G. Hamilton was a trail blazer in the field of Paranormal Research. Hamilton was a medical doctor and because of his experiences with death, he began to wonder if there was a way that we could figure out what happens to us after we die. Hamilton and his family moved into a large home in Winnipeg and it was here that he carried out much of his research, along with his wife. Their children continued the legacy of peering behind the veil. And perhaps that is why the Hamilton House of Winnipeg, Canada is said to be haunted. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Hamilton House.

Old Sacramento is known as Sacramento's "Front Porch." The entire sector is protected as a National Landmark and for good reason. Much of California's early history is seated here. The town saw immense growth during the California Gold Rush and with that came death as well. Cholera epidemics swept through and fire and floods destroyed the place more than once. Old Sacramento had to be raised eighteen feet to prevent flooding, leaving behind underground tunnels. These tunnels are said to be filled with spirits and several of the historic buildings that still remain have unexplained activity. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Old Sacramento.

During the 19th century, jails in any country were places that many people went to die because of the poor conditions. Kilmainham Gaol was no different. The history of Kilmainham Gaol spans over two centuries and holds a place in the annals of Ireland's fight for independence. Today, this immense structure still stands and runs as a museum relaying the stories of hundreds of prisoners who included notable revolutionaries and common men, women and yes, children. And now it seems to be home for the spirits of several of these former occupants. Join us for the history and hauntings of Dublin's Kilmainham Gaol!

Paranormal Conversations are random, off-the-cuff discussions on all things paranormal. On this 21st Paranormal Conversation, we are joined by our listener Clint Hopper. Clint lives in the small town of Troy, Tennessee and his family's roots are deep here. We talk history of the town, Civil War history and battles, some dark history connected to the treatment of blacks after the Civil War, Clint's unexplained experiences at a historic cemetery and slave quarters on a plantation and since Clint is a coon hunter, we couldn't help but ask if he has run into any cryptids out there in the Tennessee wilds.
