    The site of an Indigenous Massacre. A house built by 2 murderous brothers in the 1850s who buried their victims on the same land. The same house 120 years later plagued a family of 6 with repeated poltergeist activity for 16 months. Are these plot lines to a movie? Sadly no. These are all real-life stories surrounding the Hinsdale House, the haunted home and property in Upstate, New York. Tonight, inspired by the paranormal YouTube show Project Fear, we talk about the history and hauntings of the home, where paranormal activity, to this day, is still experienced and caught on camera by the current owner & groups that visit.

    A small town in Ohio and their school district were attacked by vicious letters for seemingly no reason. Similar to the Watcher in New Jersey with much more twists and turns. Letters written separately in 1977 then 1982 were specifically targeting a couple tied to the school and then in 1994 letters written to a reporter directly involved with the case. One person was accused, but was never proven true so the case still remains unsolved. The small town in question is Circleville, Ohio and tonight we're discussing The Circleville Letters. We go in detail about the case as well as our theories.   'Salem's Secret' by Peter Gundry   Merchandise: https://dfwtopodcast.creator-spring.com/   Sponsored by:   Dietsmoke.com - use promo code DFWTO for 50% off your purchase   Betterhelp: Visit betterhelp.com/dfwto to get 10% off when you sign up for your first month.

    "You come upon it suddenly. One step and its glory is over you. There is no perspective; you cannot get far enough away from one of the trees to see it as a whole. There they stand, a world of height above you, their pinnacles hidden by their topmost fringes of branches or lost in the sky." A direct quote from a former member of the elusive Bohemian Club, the Bohemian Grove is an area in California where the rich & elite gather for secret meetings and rituals in the summer months that conclude with the "Cremation of Care" where an effigy is burned before a giant owl statue. Is it all in good summer camp fun or something more sinister?
