This week we tell you all about a girl with a poltergeist stalker. Or the worst luck ever. Or a pretty severe pickle addiction. We'll let you decide. We also get a show from Carrie, Laura uses her "Mom voice" that has us ALL brushing our teeth and getting ready for bed, and we both utterly ruin Little House On the Prairie and The Oregon Trail. This episode brought to you by the best tech yet.

History of a Haunting

101: The Great Amherst Mystery

Laura and I recap the weekend we spent at The Stanley Hotel - complete with paranormal experiences and cool facts about the place that even we didn't know - have a sit down with us as we take you back with us to the most iconic hotel in the world!

Mini episode 4 - Recap of The Stanley Hotel

Welcome to our 100th episode celebration that we recorded live on Facebook from room 217 in The Stanley Hotel!! In this episode we re-do our telling of our very first episode of The Stanley. Complete with new research skills, in the very room that made the hotel famous, and brand new technical hiccups and fan interaction - we have a great time! Also, Carrie quizzes Laura and Archie on their knowledge of the podcast, the hotel and The Shining. Laura announces her new Only Fans Page - she's kidding. We're pretty sure. And Archie makes his long awaited guest return to the show!

100: 100th Episode Celebration!!

In our second conspiracy theory we bring you one of Archie's final stories - the case of the Toxic Lady. In 1994 Gloria Ramirez was taken to the hospital after becoming seriously ill. Many hospital workers became gravely ill themselves after being exposed to her body and blood. The details of this case are absolutely wild. Sit back and relax while Archie tells us this crazy tale of a medical oddity. And be sure to thank your doctors and nurses, they put themselves at great unknown risk everyday to care for us.

99: The Toxic Lady

We're taking the next 2 weeks off to prepare for the live Stanley Hotel event, so we're going to bring you TWO of our conspiracy theory episodes! This week is all about Mothman! A small little town in Point Pleasant, WV was put on the map with a number of sightings of the purported "Mothman". A humanoid figure with a 10 foot wingspan, and glowing red eyes scared the bejesus out of people in the late 1960s. Also known as a disaster warning, could he have predicted the Silver Bridge collapse in Point Pleasant in 1967? Laura breaks it all down for us in this episode, and we'll let you you decide! Is Mothman real? Is he a harbinger of doom? Is he a giant crane? What is known is that he is certainly a money maker for this charming little town in West Virginia.

98: Mothman

With all of the perfect execution we can muster - which you'll see isn't a lot, this week we bring you Kingsland Manor, with 2 very special guest hosts - Matt & Josie Haas, of Haas Paranormal! Built during the Revolutionary War era, Kingsland Manor was a home, speakeasy, and now a museum and paranormal hub of spirits. From Bus, the owner of the speakeasy who was mysteriously found dead in the tunnel that ran beneath the building, to folks having what can only be described as a passionately good time in that location of the house - this hidden gem has it all! Get on in here and let's see how fast this show goes down hill - in true HoaH fashion.

97: Kingsland Manor

This week's episode is a real bummer, guys. Built as the Iroquois Theater in Chicago, IL after being open just 5 weeks, a fire broke out during a play and roughly 600 people were killed. Known as being worse than the Great Chicago Fire, the remnants of the lives lost are still here today. Shadow figures, children crying, and women screaming are just some of the common paranormal occurrences here, and in Death Alley where the bodies were carried out to in the aftermath. Grab a tissue, everyone, we all need one this time.

96: The Oriental Theater

Hi guys! Welcome to our 3rd "mini" episode where I recap our paranormal investigation of the one and only Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. We have 2 very special guests joining us in this one - the girls from Spirits of the Southeast - Donna and Connie! Join us as we tell you and Laura all about the FABULOUS and active investigation of one of the most INFAMOUSLY haunted locations in the world!

Mini ep. 3 - investigation of Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

In this episode we discuss the creation and rise of spiritualism and the awful thing that is the ouija board. From the rise of the Fox Sisters, to dating tips, to ouija board demons - we break it all down. Also, Carrie makes it clear she hates all of this. Multiple times. This is also our first YouTube episode - you can check us out there now!

95: Spiritualism & the Ouija Board

Hi guys! Welcome to mini episode #2 - in this one Carrie tells Laura all about the investigation she and her team, Southern Entities Paranormal, conducted at a 200 year old plantation house in Mt. Gilead, NC. A place where Carrie thought there wouldn't be ANYTHING, turned out to be a real paranormal find! We also get an update on Laura's firefighter kittens, that Carrie can utterly rule out a career in landscaping, and that she got pulled over for speeding for the first time in her 44 years of life. Cheers, clink!

94: Mini ep 2 - BTS of the 1830 Montgomery House Investigation

In this week's episode we detail another possession case - that of Anna Ecklund. A child who had this brought on her by her father and her aunt through black magic. The story is just about as horrible as it could get. We try to bring some levity to the story by trying to figure out the sheer basics of Catholicism, the Saints, and math. How'd that go? You already know! This episode is brought to you by Nun Quanticatum, the rigorous nun training school we maybe definitely made up.

93: The Possession of Anna Ecklund

Today we virtually take you to India and tell you all about the Bhangarh Fort. A 16th century fort built by a ruler for his son, it has borne 2 legends that make it one of the most haunted locations in India. A popular tourist destination that the Archaeological Society of India has had to enforce the rule that no one is allowed in it after dark. Should you defy the rule you may find yourself suffering from dizziness, incoherence, and memory loss (boo); hear music and merriment coming from within its crumbling walls (yay); or you may not walk out of it at all (yuck). Oh also, it's surrounded by an open tiger preserve. Casual.

92: Bhangarh Fort

Today folks we indulge Laura's obsession and go BACK to West Virginia to West Virginia Penitentiary. And being the responsible aunt that she is, Carrie brings along her 17 year old niece, Emma DeSimone, as a very special guest host! At this lovely baby Joliet Prison they have a former leader of the Aryan Brotherhood who haunts the cell he was viciously stabbed 37 times in, a place in the basement called the Sugar Shack that was anything but, and enough whispers, footsteps, and cell doors slamming to rattle even the toughest of nerves. Also, we ensure Emma doesn't get traumatized, but she doesn't ensure the same of us, as she admitted she didn't know what a card catalog or Rolodex were. Enjoy the episode, or don't, whatever - we're off to get Botox and a lift.

91: West Virginia Penitentiary

This week’s episode comes with a trigger warning of sexual assault, guys - so consider yourselves disclaimered. In this one we talk about another family that joins the ranks of the Perrons, the Lees, and the Hodgesons - but with a much darker and shocking claim of demonic assault, one that even left Ed & Lorraine Warren feeling helpless. Another elaborate hoax, or truly terrifying haunting - what seems to be agreed on is the sincerity of the family and the utter horror at the mere idea that this could happen. Ladies & gentlemen, this is the Smurl Haunting.

90: The Smurl Haunting

Johnny Cash sang in The Ballad of Annie Palmer: "On the Island of Jamaica quite a long long time ago At Rose Hall Plantation where the ocean breezes blow Lived a girl named Annie Palmer the mistress of the place And the slaves all lived in fear to see a frown on Annie's face. ...Well, if you should ever go to see the great house at Rose Hall There's expensive chairs and china and great paintings on the wall They'll show you Annie's sitting room and the whipping post outside But they won't let you see the room where Annie's husbands died. Where's your husband Annie where's number two and three Are they sleeping beneath the palms beside the Caribbean Sea At night I hear you ridin' and I hear your lovers call And I still can feel your presence round the great house at Rose Hall." And today we tell you why.

89: Rose Hall Plantation

What happens when an extrovert and an introvert come together? They host a podcast that combines their love of history and hauntings!! Join us each week as we tell tales of famous, infamous, and almost famous locations around the world, and why they became terrifying places to visit.
