On episode forty-three, Whitney kicks off the true crime portion of the show with a story that is both true crime and a bit paranormal (depending on how you look at it).

After that, Ty opens up the paranormal half of the show with his story about Ashmore Estates. Once upon a time, this facility operated as the Coles County poor farm in Ashmore, IL. The tenants, or inmates as they were sometimes referred to, endured so many tumultuous changes and harsh living conditions that many believe they still reside there. So settle in, turn out the lights, and get ready to take some shots in the dark with us. Cheers!
