Once again, it’s time to pack up the Ope, A Ghost van and set out on another haunted road trip. This time, we’re heading to Atlanta, Georgia—but some roads are better left untraveled. Our stops in the ATL begin at the site of the deadliest hotel fire in American history where some victims remain, even if history has forgotten. We’ll wander through a park that may not be officially haunted, but it will definitely creep you out. Next, we’ll make our way to a historic mansion on Peachtree Street, where former residents—long since deceased—are said to send visitors fleeing. And what’s a haunted road trip without a cemetery? This one is steeped in restless energy, haunted by a group of Confederate soldiers and the distant, lingering echo of cannon fire. Then it’s off to an amusement park where the rides aren’t the only source of unease. Shadows move where they shouldn’t, and several corners of the park are said to be inhabited by specters from its earliest days. For our final stop, we’ll visit an open-air museum—a quiet collection of relocated buildings, each with its own past . . . and, some say, lingering occupants. So, grab your snacks and settle in; it’s going to be a long, spooky trip.

Some things go together so well they've come to define the concept of togetherness Peanut butter and jelly or Bonnie and Clyde come to mind, but this isn’t one of those times. In this episode, we explore two completely unrelated locations with only one thing in common: they're both haunted. First, we travel to St. Paul, Minnesota, where the elegant Forepaugh's Restaurant plays host to the spirit of Joseph Forepaugh himself, still wandering the dining room in formal attire. New brides, consider this your warning: keep an eye out for the ghost of Molly. We'll also stop at the Griggs Mansion, where as many as seven spirits have made the halls their permanent residence. Then we’ll travel to Moundsville, West Virginia to Sanford Elementary School where the former principal, and the school's namesake, never quite left the building. Next, we’ll visit the Archive of the Afterlife, which houses what can only be described as a collection of the deeply unsettling: among its exhibits, the haunted portrait of Annie Ledger and the electrocution cap from Old Sparky, the electric chair at Moundsville State Prison. Two towns. No connection. No shortage of things that go bump in the night.

It’s our 3 Year Podiversary! To celebrate, we’re bringing you a Film vs. Fact episode where we examine the true story behind a haunting and compare it to the “based on a true story” film adaptation. In this episode, we again wade into the Conjuring Universe to examine The Conjuring 2. We’ll explore the film’s treatment of the famous Enfield poltergeist case and determine how much reality made it into the film. As it turns out, the answer is more than you think.
