We're not going to sugar coat it. The Ladd School was f*cked up when it existed in Exeter, RI. Really nasty stuff... And of course with the horrible history comes the horrible rumors. And on this episode, Trev uncovered a treasure trove of "first hand experiences" to present to Killian. And we discover what a Freshman Binker is. Find out on this episode of Ghost Binkers!

Jennifer Shortridge is a ghost hunter, podcast host, and author of multiple books on the paranormal. Though she believes no one can be an expert in ghosts, she is definitely closer to being an expert than anyone we've had on the show previously. She came with plenty of stories of her own, along with some interesting answers to our first ever Ghoulish Questions segment. Would the ghost of a ghost hunter still hunt ghosts in the after-life? Find out on this episode of Ghost Binkers!

It's Christmas time! But in some countries, their folklore isn't so happy and fun. We start with the iconic Christmas Devil, Krampus but he's only the beginning. A troll witch, a giant(?) little cat, and 13 absolute menaces also join the party. What's up with them? Find out on this episode of Ghost Binkers! Also tell Trev to stop putting off explanations into the near future. Get to the point!

In 1912, Chicago’s beloved “Captain Santa” ignored numerous red flags and loaded his ship, the "Rouse Simmons" with thousands of Christmas trees and tried to beat a storm back to his destination… Why? The man was on a mission. Unfortunately, that mission was cursed from the start. And yes, there is now an alleged ghost ship continuing his mission. But honestly, this episode isn't really about that, sorry Jr. Binkers. The details of how we got there are more interesting (and honestly more abundant). But stick around for an alternate form of spookiness on this episode of Ghost Binkers!

In the 1816, a small farming village, called Ricker Basin aka Ricker Mill, was founded in Waterbury, Vermont. Conditions were already rough, but to make matter worse a string of unfortunate events ranging from failing crops to murder plagued the village. And of course, in the most poetically cruel fashion, Ricker Mill eventually fell victim to back-to-back floods that finished off the village for good.

Now, its dark remnants haunt hikers and campers who pass through the area. But is it a metaphorical haunt or a paranormal one? Find out on this episode of Ghost Binkers!

In the late 1800s, chair tycoon Sylvester Knowlton Pierce built himself a massive Victorian home in Gardner, MA. But for some reason, bad things kept happening there from the beginning, starting with his wife getting sick and dying almost immediately after moving in. There's spontaneous combustion and balcony pushing too. Or is there...? Find out on this episode of Ghost Binkers!

In this week's episode of Ghost Binkers, we got part 2/2 where wrap up the tales of the Baleroy Mansion. Last week we covered mostly the history. But this week, we get a little darker to a more malicious ghost... Amanda. But was she just made up by a psychic? Was the psychic projecting her actions onto the ghost? You'll just have to listen to find out!
