In My Haunted Era

Episode #15: Paranormal Tools, Part 1/The Southend Werewolf

This week, Jen pulls out the paranormal toolbox and gives us the lowdown on pendulums, dowsing rods, and Ouija boards—what they are, how they (supposedly) work, and all the weird ways they’ve caused ghost hunters to argue with furniture. Spoiler: don’t ask a Ouija board if it’s friendly.
 
Meanwhile, Em takes us on a wild ride to Southend, England, where a man was allegedly possessed by a demonic werewolf spirit. Priests were called, things got bitey, and nobody came out of it with their dignity fully intact.
 
It’s a mix of ghost gear and werewolf weirdness—and as always, we’re only here to stir the pot (not summon anything, we swear).

Episode #14: Kells Irish Pub/Whispers Estate

In this episode, Em takes us to Kells Irish Pub in Seattle—a cozy spot with strong drinks and even stronger ghost vibes (because what’s a pub without a haunted past?). Then Jen heads to Whispers Estate in Indiana, where the ghosts are chatty, the vibes are weird, and honestly, no one’s sleeping through the night. It’s haunted bars, haunted houses, and our usual dose of bad jokes.

Episode #13: Loch Ness Monster/The Disappearance of Cindy Anderson

This week, Jen takes us to the misty shores of Loch Ness to hunt down the truth about everyone’s favorite lake monster. Is Nessie real, or just a legend with great PR?
 
Then Em dives into the chilling disappearance of Cindy Anderson — a young secretary who vanished from her office in broad daylight in 1981. No clues, no witnesses, and way too many creepy theories.
 
Come for the cryptids, stay for the cold cases. As always, it’s weird, it’s eerie, and maybe a little funny (because we can’t help ourselves).

Episode #12: The Tallman House Hauntings/Tulloch Castle

This week, we’re serving up two stories that prove haunted houses are so last season—try haunted furniture and castles instead.
🛏️ Em digs into the Tallman Family Bunk Bed Haunting, where a secondhand bunk bed turned a quiet Wisconsin home into a full-blown nightmare. We’re talking ghostly voices, shadow figures, and a family so freaked out they bolted in the middle of the night. Say goodbye to sleepovers forever.
🏰 Then Jen takes us to the Scottish Highlands, where Tulloch Castle is crawling with centuries of spectral baggage. Secret tunnels? Yep. Creepy child ghosts? Of course. The infamous Green Lady? Absolutely. If these walls could talk, they’d probably scream.
Two stories, zero chill.
 
What’s Inside:
A bunk bed that may or may not be a portal to hell
One of the most aggressive hauntings to hit 1980s suburbia
A Scottish castle haunted by its own bloody history
Us, trying to pronounce Gaelic names without summoning anything

Episode #11: The Delhi Purple Sapphire/Mount Hope Cemetery

This week, we uncover the dark history of the Delhi Purple Sapphire — a gem that brought nothing but chaos to its owners — and wander through the haunted grounds of Mount Hope Cemetery. We’ll talk about why stealing sacred artifacts is a terrible idea, the restless spirits still lurking among the graves, and how bad decisions can follow you into the afterlife.
🎧 Grab your sage and headphones — it’s going to get spooky!

Episode #10: Gettysburg College/Ohio University

Welcome back, spooky scholars! 🎓👻 In this episode, Em and Jen are cracking open their paranormal textbooks and taking us to two of the most haunted campuses in the U.S.
🎙️ Em heads to Gettysburg College – where the ghosts are older than your dorm furniture and way more dramatic. From phantom soldiers in the basement of Pennsylvania Hall to spectral screams echoing through dorms, Gettysburg has more paranormal activity than a haunted frat party.
🎙️ Jen takes us to Ohio University – and yes, we’re talking about the infamous haunted room in Wilson Hall, the legendary Ridges asylum, and a cemetery shaped like a pentagram (because of course there is). Buckle up, Bobcats—your campus might have more ghosts than finals week panic attacks.
 
So grab your EMF detectors, skip your next lecture, and join us for this haunted higher education adventure.
🎧 Listen now—class is in session… for the DEAD.

Episode #9: Yorktown Memorial Hospital/Betty and Barney Hill Incident/Allagash Abductions

Hold onto your EMF detectors and tinfoil hats, folks—this episode is packed with ghostly doctors, extraterrestrial joyrides, and enough eerie encounters to make you sleep with the lights on (or at least reconsider that solo camping trip).
🏥 Yorktown Memorial Hospital – An abandoned hospital where the ghosts still take their jobs seriously. Shadow figures, creepy whispers, and a nurse who might not let you leave.
👽 Betty & Barney Hill Incident – The OG alien abduction. Lost time, hypnosis, and a suspiciously detailed star map—were they just giving directions to space tourists?
🛸 Allagash Abduction – Four guys, a canoe trip, and an unexpected alien encounter. Did they sign up for a UFO adventure or just get way too close to some curious extraterrestrials?
 
Hit play and brace yourself—because things are about to get seriously strange. 🚀👻

Episode #8: Monte Cristo Homestead/The Old Charleston Jail

This week, we’re cranking the EMF meters up to 11 and diving headfirst into two of the most notoriously haunted locations on opposite sides of the globe. First stop: Monte Cristo Homestead in New South Wales, Australia – often dubbed the most haunted house Down Under (and no, it’s not because of the spiders). Then, we’re off to the American South to explore The Old Charleston Jail in South Carolina, where the ghosts of prisoners past are said to still be rattling their chains... and possibly your nerves.
 
Expect ghostly children, tragic tales, creepy apparitions, and yes – a healthy dose of sarcastic commentary.

Episode #7: The Edinburgh Vaults/Leap Castle

Welcome to In My Haunted Era, where the ghosts are real, the facts are questionable, and the jokes are downright disrespectful.
This week, Jen takes us deep under Edinburgh to explore the Edinburgh Vaults, a series of underground tunnels where 18th-century folks partied, smuggled, and posbly got murdered. If you’ve ever wondered what a haunted speakeasy would be like, this is it. Ghosts include a very tall, very creepy man in a top hat and a child named Jack, who is either adorable or demonically possessed—jury’s still out.
Meanwhile, Em investigates Leap Castle in Ireland, a place so haunted even its ghosts are scared of each other. Featuring a totally normal murder in a chapel (dubbed the “Bloody Chapel” because duh), a pit full of skeletons, and The Elemental, a mysterious entity that smells like rotting flesh. Is it a demon? A ghost? Someone’s very old laundry? Tune in and find out.
💀 In This Episode:
🔹 The Edinburgh Vaults: crime, ghosts, and probably some very expired beer🔹 Leap Castle: when family drama turns into a full-blown haunting🔹 An actual pit of human remains, because history is fun🔹 The Elemental—proof that ghosts can stink too🔹 Us butchering Scottish and Irish accents for no good reason
Listen now—unless you're too scared or allergic to bad history takes.

Episode #6: The Whaley House/The Crescent Hotel

This week, we’re packing our ghost-hunting bags and heading to two of the most haunted spots in the U.S.—because what’s a vacation without a little paranormal trauma?
First, Em takes us to The Whaley House in San Diego, where ghosts have been hanging around since the 1800s. We’re talking disembodied laughter, unexplained footsteps, and the spirit of a man who was literally hanged on the property—because why build a house on good vibes when you can build it on a death site instead?
Then, Jen tells us about The Crescent Hotel in Arkansas, a former luxury resort-turned-ghost-infested horror show. This place has everything—Victorian spirits, a cat ghost, and a fraudulent doctor who ran a “cancer hospital” that was more scam than science. If you hear knocking on your door at night, don’t answer. It’s never room service.
