  • Episode 146: Iceboxes and Cemeteries: True Crime and Hauntings in Houston
    Dec 5 2025

    This show highlights Houston's most disturbing true crime and supernatural legends, beginning with the Rice Hotel, famous as the last resting spot of President Kennedy and now known for the unsettling apparitions of spectral dancers haunting its grand ballroom. The episode also details the gentle, musical haunting of the Julia Ideson Library by its late caretaker and his dog, contrasting it with the intense, traumatic hauntings of the Old Jeff Davis Hospital and the Black Hope Cemetery, both built over disturbed burial grounds, where residents report screams, poltergeists, and the palpable energy of a curse. Finally,we also revisits the grotesque 1965 Icebox Murders—the unsolved dismemberment of an elderly couple—and the baffling vanishing of their reclusive son, Charles Rogers, whose disappearance fueled decades of sensational conspiracy theories, including claims connecting him to the JFK assassination.

  • Episode 145: The Capital City Killings and the Ghosts of UW-Madison
    Dec 2 2025

    This episode explores the chilling history of Madison, Wisconsin, focusing first on the Capital City Killings—a series of unsolved, brutal murders of seven young women spanning from 1968 to 1982 in the UW-Madison and surrounding Dane County areas. The second half pivots to the supernatural history of the UW campus, describing documented hauntings like the discovery of body parts in Science Hall, the lingering spirits of two founders buried beneath Bascom Hill's Lincoln statue, and the ghosts of a fallen construction worker and a fatal heart attack victim (timpanist Samuel Segal) who allegedly demand the "ghost light" remains lit at the Wisconsin Union Theater. All of this and more!

  • Episode 144: The Million Dollar Curse and other tales from Albany
    Nov 25 2025

    Albany, New York, is a city layered with history and secrets, where the past still echoes in its grandest buildings. This episode explores three of its most compelling and eerie legends: the tragic, unsolved 1922 mystery of the Parcella Post Baby, a newborn delivered to an undertaker via U.S. Parcel Post. We then delve into the heart of state power at the Capitol, uncovering the hidden Devil's Face carved into the Million Dollar Staircase—a curse blamed for the catastrophic 1911 Capitol Fire that destroyed countless archives and trapped the ghost of night watchman Samuel Abbott in his eternal patrol. Finally, we meet the friendly phantom, Jason, a stonemason allegedly sealed into the State Library's foundation, whose helpful spirit still assists researchers by guiding hard-to-find books off the stacks and into their hands.

  • Episode 143: The Queen of Hell
    Nov 19 2025

    In 1692, they called her the Queen of Hell. This is the story of Martha Carrier, the fierce and unyielding center of the Salem witch hysteria's spread into Andover. While others confessed under duress, Martha stood defiant, even when her own children were tortured for testimony. Driven by political fear attached to her mysterious, legendary husband, Thomas Carrier, and condemned by authorities like Cotton Mather, Martha refused to break. This podcast tells the shocking truth of the Andover witch crisis and the incredible story of the woman who chose defiance over deception, even on the gallows.

  • Episode 142: The Ghosts of LSU, a Boston Witch Trial and Annabelle
    Nov 14 2025

    After a wild October, I'm getting back into the swing of things and digging into some listener questions. From a Boston witch trial, to ghost stories at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, I'm all over the place. Also, I dive into the story of Jim Clinstock, a professional wrestler who was found dying in the floor of a Charlotte, North Carolina dentist office in the 1940s. I also dig into the cursed Annabelle doll that I avoided last month when we were both together in Lexingont! Lots of fun this week!

  • Episode 141: Ghost Stories of Opryland
    Nov 7 2025

    Allen and Lee are back and this time we are covering Opryland, the beloved theme park in Nashville that was torn down in the 1990s. The property started out as a Native American village in the 14th century before becoming a plantation and then a theme park. Also, we talk about a tour bus where a country music legend is still kicking around. Lots of fun this week!

    And, yes, that is me on the cover art when I was a kid at Opryland!

  • Episode 139: Old Man Dead and Other Notable Grave Robbers
    Oct 23 2025

    I had so much talking grave robbing last week I figured I'd spend some more time talking about some notable grave robbers like William Jansen, Harvey Kendall, Charley Keaton and my favorite grave robber- "Old Man Dead" William Cunningham! The shenanigans are through the roof as these daring resurrection men plunder the burying grounds in Cincinnati, Syracuse, Baltimore and Washington D.C.
