Or So They Say ...

Ep.141 The Allen House

This week we're taking you all to Monticello, Arkansas to investigate a house with a pretty sad backstory. The Allen family couldn't seem to catch a break, and as each family member passed it seemed that their spirits always seemed to end up back at home. But one of the saddest stories also holds one of the most active spirits; the spirit of LaDell Allen. Overcome with the pain of lost love , she took her own life, and it seems she may still be looking for that love even in the afterlife.

Ep.140 The Kasha House of Kaimuki

Given the finnicky weather we've been having in the Midwest lately, we're glad to be living vicariously through our location today, Honolulu, Hawaii. According to our studies, if you ask the locals, it seems like everywhere you turn there is another haunted location, but we found one that brings it back to our roots of local lore and legend. Stories that are so spooky they start to blend reality with illusion. Stories stretched across decades, even centuries, but luckily not being lost to time. If you ask us this is a pretty good one, even if we're sometimes a mess. So buckle up.

Ep.139 St. James Hotel

Honestly, we were a little worried about New Mexico delivering a good old fashioned haunted location, but of course they delivered. We always love a good haunted hotel, but the good news and bad news of this one is one of the rooms of the hotel is so haunted, they have prohibited access to it from guests. Even going as far as to padlock the room. So what can be so scary that they have to lock the patrons out, or in this case, keep the bad spirits locked in? Listen to find out for yourself.

Ep. 138 The Stark Saloon

This month our travels brought us a little closer to home as we investigated the (fairly) newly opened location of the Historic Stark Saloon in Rosedale, Indiana. We'd be lying if we said we didn't initially leave this place feeling a bit skeptical, but upon further review and reflection, it seems there may be more here than we initially realized. So let us know, what do you guys think?

Twin Tangent 11: Current Fixations

We always love when a tangent rolls along, then we have a dedicated time and space to actually go off topic, but still stay on topic, you know? Anyway, when we're not recording this podcast we fill our time with other fixations, and sometimes you're just so immersed in those fixations that you need to tell the world know about them. Sometimes you even find new interests by listening to people tell you about the things they are truly passionate about, it's infectious. So that's what we're doing, and we hope you enjoy our past times as much as we do.

Ep.137 Enders Hotel and Museum

Who knew Idaho could have some unbelievably spooky places? And we mean unbelievable. Some of the evidence people have found here is almost too good to be true, so then, is it really true? The history was shrouded in mystery on this one, but from what we could find, we'd say this place has a right to be haunted.

Ep.136 Koreshan State Park

Well, Florida is un/fortunately a treasure trove of interesting things and happenings, and cults really shouldn't have surprised us. Koreshan Unity had a seemingly quick rise and fall in believers. It may have had something to do with the fact that they believed in reincarnation, but when their founder died he wasn't, you know, reincarnated. Whoopsie daisy. The reason for the hauntings in this location are a little vague, but it still proved to have some interesting evidence.

Ep.135 Amos J Blake House Museum

They say the older the building the more haunted it's likely to be, and with a nearly 200 year old building in a 250 year old town we'd say this is a pretty good place to look. Not only does this museum have a few deaths under it's belt, but each room is filled with long forgotten articles of clothing, furniture, military and medical equipment, and of course it has its fair share of creepy dolls as well. It seems these spirits have plenty of the material world to hang onto.

Ep.134 McCann Manor Poor House

Holy cow, it's finally happened. After a long dry spell we have finally investigated a location ourselves! This location came to us from a friend of a friend, and we're glad it happened, because this place was a lot. Not knowing initially what to expect this ended up being much bigger and much more daunting than we had prepared for. And that's just the way we like it. Now let's find out if we found ourselves some ghosts.

Ep.133 San Haven Sanitorium

Sanitorium? Sanitarium? Is there really a difference? Well, that depends on who you ask (of course..) Either way, that's where we are, this time in North Dakota! Sometimes lovingly referred to as the sanitorium of DEATH, this hospital is barely a shell of its formal self, actually recently being condemned due to its unsafe conditions. But those that have been fortunate enough to investigate the grounds all agree on one thing; this place, is HAUNTED. So since we can't visit it any more, let's all live vicariously through The Paranormal Files once more, and see what spooky things they found this time. Spoilers, some scares aren't always paranormal ...
