Room 109 of the Goldfield Hotel is said to hold one of Nevada's most enduring ghost stories — Elizabeth, chained and forgotten, and the baby legend that refuses to die. In this episode we trace Goldfield's rise from boomtown to bust, walk through the hotel's glamorous beginnings, and meet the spirits that supposedly linger there: the hanged woman, the rooftop ghost, the stabber, and the upper-floor apparitions tied to mining magnate George Wingfield. We close with a dramatized midnight investigation inside the hotel itself — and ask the question every ghost story eventually forces: are the hauntings real, or is it folklore built on a genuinely tragic past?

Beneath the dark surface of Fool Hollow Lake lies a drowned settlement — and, some say, a spirit who never left. In this episode we trace the legend of the Blue Lady: the haunted lake, the sunken town beneath it, and the eerie figure locals claim to have seen drifting along the shoreline. We dig into what she looks like, why she may still linger, the reported encounters that keep the story alive, and the unsettling question at the heart of it all — what does she want? Part folklore, part ghost story, all warning: this is the tale of the ghost that won't leave the water.

In September 1887, the Blevins House in Holbrook, Arizona became the site of one of the American frontier's most infamous shootouts — a bloody minute-and-a-half exchange that left four men dead and etched Sheriff Commodore Perry Owens into Western legend. But the story didn't end when the smoke cleared. In this episode we walk through Holbrook's violent frontier past, reconstruct the gunfight beat by beat, follow the aftermath into the folklore that grew around the house, and ask a stranger question: what if the ghost that still lingers there isn't one of the men who died that day? A journey from documented history into haunting, and a reflection on the legacy the Blevins House left behind.

Step inside the crumbling cellblocks of Eastern State Penitentiary — the Philadelphia prison built for total isolation that became one of America's most notoriously haunted places. In this episode we trace how a radical 19th-century experiment in solitary confinement gave way to decades of abandonment and silence, and how that silence bred some of the most chilling ghost stories ever told. From shadowy figures in Cellblock 12 to disembodied voices echoing down long-empty corridors, we walk through the site's most bone-chilling encounters — and ask the question that lingers long after the tour ends: is Eastern State truly haunted, or is its history horror enough?

Salem, Massachusetts is a town where history and horror are impossible to separate. In this episode, we sit down by the campfire and walk through the streets of Salem — from the terror of the 1692 witch trials to the haunted houses, cemeteries, and ghost legends that still linger centuries later. We explore what really caused the panic that consumed the town, ask whether Salem is haunted by restless spirits or by the weight of memory itself, and confront the real horror at the heart of the story: human fear, accusation, and violence. A tale of the accused, the executed, and the warning Salem leaves behind for anyone who cares to listen.

Just in time for spooky season, we return to Holbrook, Arizona and the legend of the Bucket of Blood Saloon. We trace the tale of the black-hatted stranger at the Horse Head Saloon, the skeptic who tested the haunting and vanished by morning, and the real, violent history behind the building's grim nickname. From gunfights and killings to the ghost lore that lingers today, we explore why this old saloon still feels haunted — and Joe shares his own eerie experience of hearing piano music and gunshots inside, with no one around to make them.

We check into Durango's historic Strater Hotel — a Victorian landmark left over from Colorado's silver-boom days — and ask why so many people insist they've felt something they can't explain inside its walls. From the hotel's boomtown origins and the peculiar way old buildings seem to hold onto their past, to firsthand encounters in the hallways and rooms, we walk through the stories guests and staff have shared over the years. Along the way we weigh the skeptical explanations against the experiences themselves and end on the question that keeps us coming back: are these hallways haunted by death, or by life?

As the last rays of sunlight disappear behind the rugged San Juan Mountains, the Lebanon Schoolhouse stands alone on the quiet plains outside Dolores, Colorado. Its weathered white walls glow faintly beneath the moonlight, while its tall windows stare into the darkness like empty eyes that have watched more than a century pass by. The wind whispers through the old cottonwood trees, carrying sounds that seem almost like distant laughter... or perhaps something else.JOIN US, WON'T YOU?

THE HAUNTED LEBANON SCHOOL HOUSE

The wind never truly rests on Ocracoke Island. It sighs through weathered cedar trees, whistles across lonely dunes, and carries the endless rhythm of the Atlantic surf. By day, the island is breathtaking—a place of wild horses, sandy beaches, and quiet fishing villages. But when twilight settles over the Outer Banks, Ocracoke becomes something else entirely: an island where history and legend walk hand in hand.

Known as part of the "Graveyard of the Atlantic," the waters surrounding Ocracoke have claimed thousands of ships over centuries of storms, shifting shoals, and hidden sandbars. Sailors, fishermen, and lighthouse keepers have long whispered that not every soul lost at sea has found peace.

A restless spirit of the infamous pirate whose final battle ended in the waters off Ocracoke in 1718. According to island folklore, his headless ghost still searches the inlet where his life came to a bloody end, while phantom footsteps echo along the shoreline after midnight.Legend tells of refugees fleeing religious persecution in Europe, carrying everything they owned aboard a ship bound for the New World. Greed overcame the captain and his crew, who murdered the passengers for their treasure before setting the vessel ablaze. But justice came swiftly. The burning ship turned upon its murderers, consuming them in a supernatural inferno, leaving every soul aboard cursed for eternity. Ever since, the ghostly vessel has returned to Ocracoke's waters, forever sailing through fire with the anguished cries of its victims echoing across the sea.These Ghostly Stories and More on this Week's Episode.
