FDR once said, “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” You know what we say to that? YOU try recording an episode of your ghost podcast on a haunted country road at dusk, MR. ROOSEVELT. That’s right, Maggie and Juli head to Seven Sisters Road from Episode 27. It was on this deserted and completely dark road where Maggie dishes us all the deets on Sauerkraut Cave and where Juli, the masochist, tells us car-themed urban legends.  Buckle up and get ready for quite the ghostly ride.

28 - DON'T TELL MOM

Buckle up, because in this episode we hit the open road—two haunted roads to be exact. First, Maggie tells us all about Seven Sisters Road in Nebraska. This story of mysterious deaths will really grind your gears—literally. Next, Juli reverses us back to the 1930s to learn more about Resurrection Mary, a ghost just trying to find two things that most people are looking for on a Friday night: a man and a ride home.

27 - NOT TO BE HEAVY, BUT I LIKE MY SOUL

Lace up your hiking boots, roll up your sleeping bag and get ready for a little summer lovin’ because Juli is taking us on an adventure to Pine Glenn Close–erm–Cove. This nunnery turned summer camp has a history of heartache (and we're not just talking about that one time your crush sat next to someone ELSE by the fire pit). Next, Maggie transports us back in time to Chillingham Castle in the 13th century where John Sage tortured over 7,500 people. Now, the castle is bursting at the seams with disgruntled ghosts and people are still finding human remains. Name ONE thing that’s "chill" about that. We’ll wait.

26 - YOU'RE THE HOST OF A GHOST PODCAST, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!

New year, same love of ghost stories. In our first episode of 2020, Maggie serves us up info on the White Horse Tavern in Rhode Island, America’s oldest tavern. This place is famous for its mysterious deaths, ghostly residents and delicious fresh seafood. Ooo la la reserve us a table STAT. Next, Juli gives us the dirty deets on the exorcism of Roland Doe which inspired the movie that had your boomer parents vomiting in the theatre: The Exorcist.

25 - HAUNTED PLACES ARE ALWAYS PEPSI PLACES

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears I’m going to LOCK MYSELF IN A BOX FOR YEARS. Like any good Hallmark movie, this episode contains a Christmas wedding and human torture!First, Maggie opens the door to the LaLaurie Mansion in New Orleans where some terrible things happened resulting in major hauntage. Juli then tells of the sweet story of the Mistletoe Bride which sounds cute and festive but is actually really, really, really sad.

24 - #MADLYINLOVELL

Yippe-ki-yay, Ghosties, on this episode we explore the Dude Rancher Lodge haunted by the legit cutest spirits in the wild, wild West. Speaking of the wild, we traverse to the mysterious Hoia Baciu Forest in Romania. Disappearances? Aliens? Ghosts? Oh my! This forest has it all.

23 - THE PERFECT DOSE OF HAUNTING

On this week’s episode, we celebrate America by talking about its first ghost town where 117 English men, women and children disappeared in 1587 leaving behind one word: CROATOAN. Did a witch cast a spell? A native American spirit overtake the settlers? Or (lame) did they just move to Croatoan Island?Another thing American’s love? BEER. Listen to the story of Lemp Mansion. This family has connections to a deadly curse & PBR (tbh, PBR sometimes feels like a curse the next day).

22 - CROATOAN

This week we are taking you to two exotic and extremely similar locations: Taiwan & Indiana. First, Juli immerses us into Taiwanese ghost culture. Learn about the Minxiong Ghost House, Ghost Marriage, Ghost Festival, and Maggie’s Ghost Fiancé: Steve. Next, Maggie tells us all about Willows Weep, a house shaped like an upside-down cross that is (surprise, surprise) haunted by a demonic force. Someone call TLC because this house is literally begging for a makeover.

21 - THE BEST OF THE BEST

For our first episode ever recorded in front of a live audience, we decided to face our fears: dolls, demons and the state of Indiana. First, Juli tells us all about a house in Gary, Indiana that allegedly contains over 200 demons. Okay, wow, are ya’ll paying rent or what?? Next, Maggie tells us about Annabelle, a creepily large Raggedy Ann doll. Imagine if Elf on the Shelf was actually a murderous demon and there you have Annabelle!

20 - LIVE SHOW: POSITIVELY DO NOT OPEN

OOOHHH-klahoma is the place for US (and a lot of ghosts, apparently). This week Maggie & Juli coincidentally both tell stories from the state famous for… uhhh, tornados? and uhh, being a state?First, grab your tissues folks because Maggie tells a sad story about Katie DeWitt James and the haunting of Dead Woman’s Crossing. Next, Juli gets inspired to start her own cult by telling us the story of a jail turned church turned Samaritan Cult House. You’ll never look at soy milk the same after this story…

19 - CALL 1-800-IAM-CULT

Between hormones, homework and homecomings, high school is ROUGH. But could you imagine dealing with all of that with a side of spooky ghosts showing up at your locker? Uh, no. That’s why we would never enroll at Pocatello High School in Idaho.Looking for a place to stay in Gloucestershire, England? Might we suggest the Ancient Ramada–err, Ram Inn. It has a 2.5/5 star rating on TripAdvisor because most of its guests fling themselves out closed windows out of sheer terror.

18 - THIS IS A SCARY F*CKING PLACE

What does a deadly family heirloom, dowsing rods, and Taco Bell all have in common? TBH no idea, but if you figure it out after listening to this episode, let us know. First, Maggie tells us about the cursed Conjure Chest that is the connected to over 17 tragedies within one family. Like, stop using the chest @family! Then, Juli teaches us about dowsing rods and even gives us a tutorial (a.k.a. doodle bugging).

17 - DUMB HUSBAND, DEAD

Grab a beer and pull up a chair because we dive right into a couple of super spooky stories this week. First, Maggie tells us about the Moon River Brewing Company that has as many ghosts as brews on tap. Next, Juli sets sail to Salem’s past and tells us about the infamous witch trials of 1692. Ya’ll ever been licked by the devil? Pass.

16 - I'M DONE WITH YOUR DEVIL SH*T

*Alert* zombie’s are on the loose, WWYD? If your answer is to lock your door, catch up on Netflix, and finally eat that can of refried beans you have in the pantry then wow, same. On top of a foolproof zombie apocalypse plan, we’ve conjured you up some wickedly spooky ghost stories in this week’s episode.First, Maggie tells us about the De Soto Hotel that begs the question: is this place haunted by giggly ghost girl or a demented demon? Ugh. Then, Juli gives us the true story behind the house from the movie The Conjuring. Bathsheba? Real. Possession? Real. Crippling debt of a middle class family who bought more house than they could afford? Too real.

15 - EVERYTHING LIES

*All aboard the train to London-town* (Intended to be read in a thick, borderline offensive, English accent) On this week’s episode we hop across the pond to tell some notorious ghost stories from London! First, Juli opens up the door to the Thornton Heath House where there’s a whole mess of paranormal activity in its history (poltergeists, apparitions, and aliens; oh my!). Next, Maggie tells us about the Highgate Cemetery where Vampiria Hysteria™ caused complete chaos & had a lot of people thinking they were better than Buffy (hint: no one is better than Buffy).

14 - VAMPIRIA HYSTERIA

What happens when you take a love of ghosts, two best friends & a dream? This podcast, apparently. Hosted by Maggie Hinrichs and Juli Wians.
