Or So They Say ...

Ep.129 Shanghai Tunnels

So, Portland, OR may not be "small town America", but sometimes a haunt is just too god to pass up, and with claims like most haunted place on earth, how could we say no? So down we go, to the Shanghai Tunnels beneath Chinatown in Portland, where they had a little bit of everything. Gambling, drinking, prostitution rings, and kidnapping for enslavement. This time we are living vicariously through @twinparanormal, and boy did they definitely do all of the heavy lifting for us.

Ep.128 Christmas Crimes

Happy holidays, everyone! It's just a few days before Christmas, and nothing says Christmas like talking true crime apparently. We'll cover some lighthearted ones, some dark ones, but all of them revolve around this wonderful time of year. (just a heads up though, some of them do get surprisingly dark)

Ep.127 Centennial Hall Museum

Well, it seems our (virtual) travels have brought us to the wonderful state of Nebraska this week. We really went with small town America on this one and have found one of the states most haunted locations in Valentine, Centennial Hall Museum. This building stood as a high school first, and that is where our haunted tale begins. And the source of this legend? a clarinet, of course. Who knew that being in the band could be so deadly?

Ep.126 Madison, IN Part 2

Like the last three Decembers, Kelsey and Madi traveled down to Madison Indiana. And like the last three Decembers, more spooky things fell into their laps. A trip to a local diner led us down another rabbit hole of  haunted locations in historic Madison. It seems every time we start to search this location more and more ghosts appear. So, where are they gonna be this time?

Twin Tangent 10: Etymology

Welcome to another fifth Thursday with your favorite spooky twins! We have so many everyday phrases and idioms that we constantly use, but do we know why we say them, or where they come from? Well, you're about to find out. Some phrases lie in a lot darker history than expected, some are pretty light hearted, but we think they're all interesting, and we hope you do too.

Ep.125 East Coast Thanksgiving Ghosts

Happy Thanksgiving, spooky crew! We’re glad you’ve decided to join us on a little getaway from family/friend shenanigans. This week we are perusing the east coast for legends of Thanksgiving ghosts, and New York and Pennsylvania did not leave us disappointed. Both involving railroads, one with an annual appearance, and one, if proven true, the largest mass murder in the state’s history, there is no shortage of fuel for ghostly hauntings. So grab a plate or two, and let’s get to it.

Ep.124 Joliet Prison

Welcome to another rousing episode of Or So They Say, where this week we take you to our neighbors to the WEST (not the east, Kelsey), Illinois! This is actually a location we have considered investigating in the past, but now it's a little questionable if that's even an option? Who knows, but the Joliet Prison actually packed some pretty spooky punches, even for us. There's a lot of goosebumps to go around this time, so brace yourselves.

Ep.123 Skinwalker Valley

Yes, this is actually the name of the place. There's even a skinwalker ranch right next to it! So why did it get that name? Well, obviously because of all of the skinwalkers that creep around there at night. Rooted in Native American legend, these skinwalkers have been cursed to be here, and if you ask some people, they're definitely still hanging around. We're living vicariously through The Paranormal Files as they spend hours alone in the middle of the valley, and let's just say we're glad it was them and not us.
