The Pickfair estate was once one of the most lavish properties in Hollywood. This had been the home of old Hollywood stars Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks and was previously a hunting lodge. Pickford would be the first to talk about haunting activity in her home starting in the 1930s. Stories would continue through the years until Pia Zadora bought the property and demolished the historic mansion, claiming that the paranormal activity was getting out of hand. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Pickfair! The Moment in Oddity features the USS O'Bannon and This Month in History features the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

New South Wales in Australia seems to be the most haunted state in the country and for good reason. This was the first place colonized in Australia. Not only is there a long history here that features a country built by convicts, but there is the displacement of the indigenous people who had been here for thousands of years. We've covered some of the more well known haunted locations in New South Wales on previous episodes, so on this one we are going to explore the lesser known haunts. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of New South Wales! The Moment in Oddity features Beatle wigs and This Month in History features the transcontinental railroad.

Tinker Swiss Cottage is a unique and beautiful home that resembles a Swiss cottage. Built by the Tinker family, it would become a symbol for Rockford, Illinois and the family's contributions to Rockford would help the town grow. Most of the family members who had lived at the house, died at the house. Most of the furnishings and artifacts in the house, that is now a museum, belonged to the family. Possibly this is why there are so many claims that many of the family's spirits still reside in the home. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the Tinker Swiss Cottage!

Georgetown is a picturesque small town in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. My family visited often when I was a kid because my dad enjoyed fishing in Georgetown Lake. He never failed to reel in a few rainbow trout. Unbeknownst to us, Georgetown was the scene of a murder over oysters and the lynching of the perpetrator back in the mid-1800s. That murderer was Edward Bainbridge and his spirit is believed to still haunt Georgetown.

The Flagstaff of 1937 was quite different from the sleepy little railroad town it had once been. Emigrants from Boston had passed through this pine forest near the mountains in 1876 and marked their camp with a pine tree stripped of its bark and branches and crowned with an American flag in honor of the country's centennial. Their flag staff became a landmark and eventually the name of the town. By the 1930s, Flagstaff had become a thriving small town thanks to the local university, the Lowell Observatory and tourists coming to see the Grand Canyon. The wealthy side of town was on Leroux Street. And it was here on North Leroux Street that the Walkup family home was located.

Glensheen Mansion is reportedly the most visited historic home in the state of Minnesota. The stately home originally sat on 22 acres of lakefront property in Duluth and was built by the Congdon Family. The brick facade and rising chimneys communicate a welcoming spirit, but the truth is that this mansion was the setting of a heinous double murder leaving the Congdon's daughter Elizabeth dead, as well as her nurse. The story is a narrative of insanity, greed and murder. And now that story continues with legends of hauntings on the property. Spirits are at unrest.

I like the content (so far) so I don't want to hear so much goo at the beginning! about 5 minutes of ad, website, non-topic related stuff at the beginning. I've jumped around and listened to a handful of these pods and they're seeming to be that way. please put a time point for topic start point so I can avoid all this stuff that I don't want to hear. thank goodness for a fast forward option.

I like the historical aspect of these podcasts but tend to tune out once they start talking about ghosts and apparitions. I find it funny how ppl always latch on to old asylums and prisons as being haunted just be ause they're spooky places. if ghosts were real, they'd be FAR more common, instead of merely hanging out in places like abandoned prisons and mental asylums. I mean how many people in history have died? lol billions and billions and billions. so if ghosts were real , we'd have far far more around than is currently discussed. I mean shouldn't every battlefield in history be crawling in ghosts? and not just the few places people "claim" to be haunted. I think the Fermi Paradox can be applied to this ghost thing pretty well.

Great listening! <3 another binge-friendly podcast! :D Still examining the catalog - NYC has a handful of haunted houses/ establishments. Some of the more interesting (uncanny/ spooky) stories are the ones concerning apparent time slips in history. Great Southern Mysteries and The Little Giant Book Of "True" Ghost Stories are two fun books to read and try to be accurate concerning names, locations and dates. 🤓 I'm glad I found this podcast (now the graveyard shift won't be so spooky..). it is said that the Rite-Aid @Astoria I work at is haunted by the spirit of an elderly man that had a heart attack and didn't survive while at the pharmacy check-out. It is also said that prior to the location becoming a Rite-Aid it was a morgue... this building has no windows - save the store entrance so it can get quite gloomy. - Andrew

Heard you on The Confessionals (my fave pod) I had to sub to you. He said to check out your channel - and I also heard you on one of his pods and really enjoyed it. ♡
