Cassie and Alex close out the first season of Wheeling Haunts with an episode full of special guests and spooky history. The episode includes an interview with Amanda DeShong, a local medium who uses her gift to connect to the spirit world. Cassie and Alex chat with Amanda about how she came into this practice, common misconceptions about mediumship, and tips for those who want to get more in touch with their spiritual side. Later in the episode, hear tales from listeners who called in to share stories from their haunted Wheeling homes. We had one listener story that was so good, we had to bring them in for an interview! We close out the episode with some Halloween history and its connection to Samhain, an ancient Celtic celebration.

Until next time...stay spooky!

This week, Cassie and Alex stick around in East Wheeling to visit another home whose owner has a hair-raising story to tell. We also learn that this home was once the primary residence of Major Alonzo Loring: "one of Wheeling's most prominent citizens."

At the end of this week’s episode, we have some fun side stories that Will shares from his time working underground as a coal miner.

This week, Cassie and Alex sit down with their friend and colleague Betsy Sweeny to talk about a ghostly encounter that she recently had while a contractor was working in her East Wheeling home. This story involves a long history of interesting homeowners, an old piano, and a contractor that may or may not be a channel for the spirit world.

We also talk to Jeanne Finstein, a local historian and president of Friends of Wheeling - West Virginia's oldest historic preservation organization!
