Description
Old friends discuss local legends starting with the ones they know from their home state. Legendary people, places, and random facts about Indiana abound here. While we started in Indiana, the world is full of legends and we want to explore them. Laughter, history, and spooky facts included. We like getting down to the bottom of these legends and giving both the facts as well as the lore. If history and interesting stories, sometimes with a spooky bent, are up your alley, so are we! We like telling each other stories and hope you will like them too! Oh, one more thing, you want ghosts? That's how you get ghosts...

Krys leads off with the tale of Versailles and it’s royal history. This palace is one of the most extravagant palaces on the face of the planet. Throughout the upheaval of the French Revolution this was a physical example of the divide between haves and have nots. Time slips, ghosts, and perhaps even the Queen herself visits from beyond the brave. Some of the furniture still there is some of the originals as well. You want ghosts? Tori picked another haunted castle, this time in the UK, Chill...
Tori leads off with Pike Place Market in Seattle. This is apparently one of the most haunted spots on the West Coast. The oldest continuously open market in the US, the sheer size of this market shocked Tori. This market has insane amounts of social implications as well. And ghosts, all the ghosts. Krys is back in Paris for a disturbing true crime tale. Marcel Petiot was a sick, sick man that killed all over France. This man was really, really good at suckering the cops as well. Add in some t...
Krysti leads off with the Opera Garnier Paris and its illustrious history. This opera house spurred rumors of a phantom, has an underground lake, and is all sorts of fancy to boot. This historical building fields 400+ performances per year and was built to be a safe place for the elite to see performances without coming under attack. This was the opera house that spurred the Phantom of the Opera novel. Krys also covers the Rue de Chantres and its gruesome story. Tori goes back to her roots an...

Krysti starts us off with the story of Tippecanoe Place in South Bend, IN. This residence was built by the Studebakers and was one of the fanciest homes in the city at the time. Cue some poor money handling and the property was then sent through a series of owners till it's current iteration as a restaurant today. And what have we learned about old houses that have changed hands many times? You want ghosts…you know the rest. Tori tells a story she has been hinting about for months at this poi...

Matthew is a local author and check out our Insta for a pic of his books! Tori goes first and tells of yet another cemetery, Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans. This cemetery had a prior incarnation as a horse racing track. This is one of the only places in the city that is actually high ground. Matthew tells us of the local legend and tv personality, Sammy Terry! ...
Krys drives home the holiday spirit with another beastie that was used to scare children into behaving before Santa Claus was here. Gotta love the boogeymen that were used to keep people in line. Breakout the sage and costumes to get rid of the holiday boogeymen. The holdout for these mostly forgotten spooks are some of these festivals that stick around to this day. Tori comes with a bit of a different story this year and covers a broad topic, cursed movies. Leading off first we have Superman...
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode mentions suicides, death, and a mass shooting.Tori leads off with some fun with Horror in the Heartland’s odd old newspaper blurbs. Kevin McQueen gives us an interesting obituaries to have fun with, people are weird and do stupid shit. Krysti takes us to Tasmania and Port Arthur. Used as a penal colony, since the US was out of reach for the Brits, this was the scene of harsh punishments for the prisoners. This was also the site of a horrible mass shooting. This w...
The story of the Manresa Castle has all the great backstory a hotel should. Priests, old money family, a curse or two, add in some vacationing nuns and we have all the energy we need to make this a haunted hotel. This beautiful hotel is also attached to the small family graveyard. Krysti picked a good story! Tori went for two lighthouses on opposite shores in the US. Terrible Tilly right off the coast of Astoria, OR is Tori’s next story. This piece of rock on the coast was will and a tough wa...
Tori leads off with Tennessee State Prison and it’s lovely history. Like most old prisons, this was a place of punishment, not rehabilitation, and brutal as hell. This jail has been partially blown up, held hostage, rioted, and to finish it out a class action lawsuit. The last inmate left in 1992 and the place has been in several movies including The Green Mile. In 2020 a tornado destroyed most of the complex but spooky shit abounded. Krys covers Hotel Jerome in Aspen, CO. The president of Ma...
Krys skips the spooky stuff this year but makes Tori squee with the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. These were teaching tools made by Frances Glessner Lee to teach forensics. This lady was the shit and the Patron Saint of Policemen or the Mother of Forensics. The Nutshells debuted in 1943 and were saved by a former student. These helped investigators get it right for once. Tori tells the story of the rope swing and how we have a weird tie to a serial killer. Fox Hollow Farm and the tal...
Tori gives us the story of the Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester was a remarkable woman in her own right and she lived life the way she wanted and be damned to the naysayers. So many stories about the reason for her incessant building but the truth of the matter is unknown to this day. Sarah took that secret to her grave. Krysti takes up back to the Midwest from San Jose to Madison WI. Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the world’s most well known architects. What most folks don’t know is ...
Krys leads off with King’s Tavern in NAtchez, MS. Outlaws galore frequented this tavern in it’s heyday and gave it a shady reputation. Main takeaway? You want ghosts?! Because that’s how you get ghosts…Add in a spooky crossroads, some dumb criminals, and infanticide, you get King’s tavern. Tori takes us to Missouri and to the Zombie Road. Enter into a land of tropes, shitloads of paranormal phenomenon, maybe, just maybe…Bigfoot? Dare the shadow squirrels and flying tombstones. Krys comes back...
—-------------------NO CHICKENS WERE HARMED IN THIS EPISODE—----------------------------Our thanks to Julie Gearing for her rendition of The Raven for our spooky episode! Tori leads off with the tale of Frankenstein Castle and some of the many myths that have been attached to the spot. This castle may have been some of Mary Shelley’s inspiration for the tale of the monster but it looks like some of this may have been pure speculation. Add in some magnetic weirdness and a dragon, you got ghost...
Okay, so the sound gremlins were back this episode, our bad. This week was rough for both of us. Krys covers Thomas Edison’s Spirit Phone. Krysti explains why inventors are weird and that the brilliant ones are even weirder. Thomas Edison brings spiritualism into the fray but it sounds more like aliens/Midichlorians to us. Tori covers Starved Rock State Park in Utica, Illinois. This state park has a long and bloody history even up into present day. Yet another example of “you want ghosts…”Our...
Tori leads off with the story of an absolutely horrible human being and her house in New Orleans. Delphine LaLaurie’s story is absolutely disgusting and her mansion that sits at 1140 Royal Street seems to keep reliving the horror show that was her life in that house. Yeah, you guessed it folks…#youwantghosts? Krys comes back with the Hotel Alex Johnson in Rapid City South Dakota. This hotel apparently doesn’t charge late check out to the ghosts. This historic hotel capitalizes on the haunting...
Spooky Season is here! Krys takes us to the Old West to lead off and does Bodie, CA. This ghost town is now a museum that is in a state of arrested decay. This town was one of the many boom towns that was prompted by what? Gold of course. Sticking to the Old West Tori tells us of the tale of the El Dorado Canyon Hell Dogs in Nevada. Once again gold sent in many people into a place where lawlessness may have created the Hell Dogs. Back to Krys and the Ceely Rose House in Lucas Ohio. Some true ...
