54: After the gold rush, there was a silver rush in the 19th Century that came to define Virginia City, Nevada. And at the heart of VC is the Washoe Club, Nevada's oldest saloon. A place where millionaires (and Mark Twain) gathered to flaunt their wealth, sex workers of the time worked, and outlaws came to fight, the Washoe — and Virginia City as a whole — is teeming with spectral stories.

Because NightMerica is headed to Virginia City for Comstock Con on Oct 7-10, 2021 (Tix: www.vccomcon.weebly.com), Aaron is joined by author and historian Janice Oberding, who has written more than 30 books, including Haunted Virginia City. As well as walking us through the haunted history, she talks of California true crime as well.

And if you like weird history (and we know you do):

Check out Aaron Sagers' new web series Ripley's Believe It or Not! Ripley's Road Trip, where he explores odd artifacts and digs up strange local history.

53: What are the Spook Lights of Oklahoma? In a region littered with such names as Devil’s Hollow, Devil’s Promenade and Lost Creek, it is not surprising to find that the far northeast corner of OK has something of a supernatural presence. Here, one can find the unexplained “Spook Lights” dancing along the back roads and in the dark woods of northeastern Oklahoma.

Cullan Hudson is the author of the supernatural thriller, The Mound, and Strange State: Mysteries and Legends of Oklahoma, a nonfiction collection of strange-but-true tales from the Sooner State. Many of those meticulously researched stories had never before been reported, while others were rediscovered by the author after having been forgotten for nearly a century. Hudson's short story, "The Iron Door: Curse of the Sierra Jumanos,” was included in the 2005 Red Dirt Anthology. Hudson enjoys traveling to paranormal locations and has visited sites from Central American pyramids to mysterious Moroccan mountains, haunted Roman Ruins and English castles to Loch Ness and Bigfoot's dark realm in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, Hudson lived in Puerto Rico for several years investigating that island's famous forteana, including legends of the chupacabra, Moca Vampire, and ancient haunted fortresses.

52: Terry Carnation may look, and sound, almost exactly like Rainn Wilson who we know from The Office, but he's definitely not Rainn Wilson. Instead, Terry Carnation is the longtime host of the late-night AM radio show Dark Air, and a trailblazer in the paranormal arena (and his ongoing exploits are documented in the Dark Air podcast). Terry is a legend in this field, and in this very special NightMerica, he joins Aaron to blow our minds with his paranormal truths.
