Overnight At The Skirrid Inn l Llanvihangel Crucorney, Wales
Show notes
The Skirrid Inn has stood at the foot of a Welsh mountain serving drinks for centuries, and the old beam that was once above its staircase still carries the marks of the people who were hanged there. Every night, before the doors are locked, someone fills the Devil’s Cup behind the bar, because no one wants to find out what happens if it’s left empty. Upstairs, guests who stay in Room 2 have woken to the feeling that something is in the room with them, and the people who know the inn best call it a demon. When we gathered our biggest group investigation yet in that bar, we expected the dead to answer, but we weren’t ready for how many of them would.

EP 218 - The Ghosts of Leeds | England
Show notes
Although the city of Leeds in West Yorkshire has been known for its industrial influence, it has also endured the trials of plague, war and violence. Many of its buildings were destroyed in the Leeds blitz of 1941. One of the buildings that survived the bombing is The Priest’s Cottage. Historically it served as a chapel as well as the home of a priest and his wife. Today, the building is believed to be haunted by its former occupants as well as several of the war casualties of the 1941 bombings. Earlier this year we had the opportunity of investigating this location and it turned out to be one of the most active we’ve ever seen. Join us as we delve into the history and hauntings of The Priest’s Cottage

Overnight at The Priest's Cottage | Paranormal Investigation
Show notes
The Priest’s Cottage in West Yorkshire, England is a relatively lesser known location as far as haunted buildings. It survived the Leeds Blitz in 1941 when the Germans bombed the city but not without significant casualties. It was also the home to a priest for many years, hence the name. Now the location is believed to be haunted by his spirit along with several others. This was the first major location that we decided to investigate during our journey across the UK earlier this year. Join us and see what we discovered at The Priest’s Cottage.

EP 216 - The Lost Souls of Market Square ft. Crystal Quin | Houston, TX
Show notes
In the oldest corner of Houston, some of the city's earliest residents never checked out. In a low lit bar that's stood since before the Civil War, the staff have learned that closing time doesn't mean everyone goes home. Just down the street, an old bank turned luxury hotel has the souls of men who lost everything during the great depression. Above every arch on its front stands Mercury, the god who guides souls to the underworld, but not every soul here seems ready to go.

EP 214 - The Stanley Hotel | Estes Park, CO
Show notes
Every hotel seems to have its ghost story. But only one hotel was the inspiration for one of the most iconic ghost stories ... of all time. In 1974, Stephen King checked into room 217 of the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. It only took one night in that infamously haunted room, and one vivid nightmare, for King to come up with the bones for The Shining. Today, the Stanley Hotel has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted hotels in the world... and according to staff and visitors... the spirits that haunt this building... are no work of fiction.
