Haunted Road

Known as the Grey Ghost, the USS Hornet is one of the most important ships in American military history. More than 300 lives were lost aboard while she was commissioned as an active ship, including, according to some, the highest rate of suicide in the Navy. Today, it's considered the most haunted ship in the Navy. Special Guest: Faye Navarro See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Most Haunted Ship in the Navy

The conditions of the St. John County Jail were so inhumane that inmates were referred to as “the product.” So few people survived the harsh imprisonment that any sentence there was considered a death sentence. Special Guest: Stephen MitchellSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It Was a Nice Looking Jail, But What Was Going on Inside Was Horrific

Three hundred and thirty one years ago, 19 people were executed in Salem, Massachusetts. Eighteen of them were hanged in front of hordes of enthralled onlookers. Among those hanged was John Proctor, a local farmer and tavern owner. Today, the house still bearing his name, is associated with some of the darkest parts of Salem's history. And, it's remarkably haunted. Special guest: Adam BerrySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Case I am Found Dead, Blame it on No One But Me

In the Naval Park in Buffalo, New York, three majestic ships float quietly in the water, part of a large-scale tribute to the United States Military and the sacrifices made by soldiers who were wounded or killed in the name of freedom. Many believe the ships to still be haunted by the men who served on them. Eyewitness accounts detail hearing phantom footsteps and mysterious whispers, objects flying across the room, and blurred faces in photos. Some people report seeing full-body apparitions in places where there are no other living people. Special Guest: Shane StephensonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Missouri State Penitentiary was decommissioned in 2004, after nearly 170 years of brutal incarceration. But the stories of harsh punishments and austere living conditions still live on in the buildings today — in the people who come to visit the prison, and in the spirits who have stayed behind, replaying their years at what is sometimes called the “bloodiest 47 acres in America,” over and over into infinity.

She Heard Her Dead Husbands Voice in the Wind, Saying, "Tend to the Light"

Some might call the Star of India, a historic trade ship, the most cursed boat in the water. In its 159 years of sailing, the ship has been trapped in the ice in Alaska and run aground in Hawaii, and has seen cyclones, collisions with other ships and a crew mutiny that ended in 17 men being sentenced to hard labor.
