In this episode, Lacey takes a slightly unhinged stroll through the Salem witch trials, where a handful of bored Puritan teens and some truly chaotic adults managed to derail an entire town. She breaks down the panic, the politics, and the pure “what were they thinking?” energy that fueled one of history’s bleakest crowd-control failures. After that, she shifts gears and heads to modern-day Salem for a cozy solo getaway filled with good food, historic stops, and the kind of peaceful wandering that pairs well with a side of morbid curiosity. It’s dark history with a wink, plus a soft, comfy look at Salem today.

Something strange has been flying over the shores of Lake Michigan.

Red eyes. Massive wings. And far too many witnesses to ignore.

In this episode, we dive into the sightings of the Lake Michigan Mothman, the eerie connection to the original Mothman of Point Pleasant, and the question that keeps locals up at night… what exactly is lurking along the lake?

Eloise isn’t just an abandoned asylum. It’s 902 acres of “maybe we shouldn’t have come here.”

In Episode 02, we’re diving into the history, the hauntings, and the spirits that apparently never got the discharge paperwork. From the Woman in White whispering for help, to reports of children seen and heard in empty corridors, to shadow figures lingering in spaces where real trauma once unfolded… Eloise might be one of Michigan’s most unsettling locations.

We’re talking underground tunnels, 10,000 former patients, questionable medical practices, and a cemetery filled with numbered graves. Casual.

So grab your EMF reader, keep an eye on the stairwells, and maybe don’t listen alone in a dark hallway. Just saying.
Welcome back to Eloise. It’s still not empty.
