Send us a Text Message.Sometimes, two things go together so well they’ve come to epitomize togetherness. Peanut butter and jelly or Bonnie and Clyde come to mind, but this isn’t one of those times. In this episode, we look at two completely unrelated locations. The only thing they have in common is they are both haunted. First, we’ll visit Union Station in Kansas City. Missouri.

Send us a Text Message.The Conjuring Movie vs. RealityIn 2013, moviegoers were engrossed with The Conjuring. The film would become the first of three in the Conjuring series—so far. Based on the true story of the Perron family, the story is pulled from the case files of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. According to Andrea Parron, parts of the real story were left on the cutting room floor because it was too terrifying for audiences. So, what did Hollywood get right? Join...
