Step right up—if you dare—for a chilling ride through two of America's most haunted amusement parks. In this episode, we explore the eerie legends and ghostly encounters tied to Chippewa Lake Amusement Park in Ohio and Sylvan Beach Amusement Park in New York.Abandoned for decades, Chippewa Lake is a rusting graveyard of forgotten rides and lingering spirits. Locals speak of phantom music coming from the demolished dance hall and the sound of a rollercoaster that hasn't ran in almost 50 years. Meanwhile, Sylvan Beach remains open to thrill-seekers—but its century-old carousel and historic buildings come with paranormal baggage. Visitors and employees alike have reported flickering lights, unexplained footsteps, and the spectral sightings of past employees and the ghost of a little girl. So come one, come all. This is one ride you won't forget.Get your tickets to the Haunted America Conference!The Witches Familiar Etsy PageChippewa Lake - WikipediaIdea Stream - The Ohio NewsroomChippewa Lake Ohio Historical SocietyCarousel of Chaos - 12 Bizarre Facts about Chippewa Lake ParkOmarGoshTV YouTubeMVL #175 Sylvan Beach Part 1of 2MVL #175 Sylvan Beach Part 2 of 2You can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!
Welcome to an Ope, A Ghost Book Club Mini Episode. In another foray into fiction, we read Darcy Coates's The Haunting of Rookward House (2020). Meet Guy, a man looking to escape his hometown after becoming the community pariah. His luck seems to have changed when he finds the deed to a forgotten house in his mother's attic. This is his chance: fix up the old mansion, sell it for a quick profit, and use the money to move away. Sounds easy, but the ghost of a deranged and jealous stalker has other plans, including keeping Guy all to herself. What a fun book! We highly recommend this one. We're sure you'll love it as much as we did.You can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!
Welcome to another Unrelated Ghosts episode where we dive into two locations that have nothing in common with one another. Nothing except that they're both haunted, of course. First, we'll stop in the quaint town of Felicity, Ohio and visit the Broadwell Funeral Home. The current owner purchased the property with the intent to remodel it to move it, but after several paranormal occurrences, his wife left and has not stepped foot back into the house since. Visitors have experienced shadow people, disembodied voices, and poltergeist activity. Our second stop takes us to the oldest operating restaurant in the U.S.: the White Horse Tavern in Newport, RI. The building is verging on being 400 years old which might explain why the ghosts include a colonial patron, a spirit known as “the guardian,” and the ghost of Rebecca Cornell who convicted her supposed killer from beyond the grave!

Small town life is generally easy. That is, unless the town is haunted. Get ready for ghost stories, local lore, and a deep dive into the paranormal legacies of America's most haunted towns. First, we journey to Jerome, Arizona—a once-booming copper mining town turned ghostly relic. Discover the eerie tales of the Jerome Grand Hotel, where a phantom maintenance man lingers in the basement and ghostly footsteps echo through the halls. We'll also step inside a brothel still haunted by the tragic spirit of a murdered madam. Then, we'll head east to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where darkness clings to the walls of the infamous Welles House. Learn how a family was driven from their home by the menacing presence of a well-dressed elderly man with a cane.

Legend has it that Don Julián Santana Barrera found a doll floating in the canal the day after a young girl drowned. He hung the doll in her memory. He believed the girl's spirit haunted the island, so Barrera hung more dolls to appease her until over 4,000 dolls adorned the island. Did the creepy decorations work?

Step into the eerie world of haunted objects, where the line between history and the supernatural blurs. In this chilling episode, we dive deep into two of the most infamous haunted relics: the Anna Baker Wedding Dress and the Conjured Chest from Kentucky. The Anna Baker Wedding Dress, a garment frozen in time, tells the heartbreaking tale of a love unfulfilled, and its mysterious presence haunts the Baker Mansion in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, the Conjured Chest, an antique piece from Kentucky, holds secrets that are far from ordinary. Once used for spiritual practices, this chest with a sinister origin story quickly became the source of untimely death and despair that wracked a family for generations.Visit the Haunted 1889 McInteer VillaIn Paranormal News...Wikipedia – Baker MansionVirtual Tour of the Baker MansionFactschology Article [JR1]The Chilling Story of a Haunted Wedding DressGhost Town PodcastBaker Mansion Ghost PhotoBook - Cursed Objects By J W OckerKentucky Historical SocietyYou can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!

Once again, it's time to hit the road on another Haunted Road Trip. This time we're headed to the Gateway to the West: St. Louis, Missouri. In this chilling episode, we dive into two of St. Louis' most haunted landmarks: the Powell Symphony Hall and the Lehmann House. As one of the oldest and most beloved venues in the city, Powell Hall has also been a stage for eerie paranormal occurrences. We'll meet the ghost of a mysterious man in white who sports a magnificent handlebar mustache and an apparition known as George. Our next stop will be the Lehmann House located in the heart of Lafayette Square in the historic district. Lehmann House is an imposing Victorian that's both hauntingly beautiful and just plain haunted. Stay long enough and you'll hear voices in the other room and the sound of footsteps. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of one of the previous owners who also sports a magnificent mustache: Edward Rowse.

What happened at Fox Hollow Farm where Herb Baumeister allegedly murdered at least 11 men. In this special episode, we look at The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm: Unraveling the History and Hauntings of a Serial Killer's Home by Richard Estep with Robert Graves. The book is a chilling account that's part history, part true crime, and part paranormal investigation that's as captivating as it is terrifying. It's unclear exactly what went on at Fox Hollow, but a grim collection of more than 10,000 bones suggests it was an unspeakable evil. Though this episode concentrates mostly on Estep's book, we'd be remiss if we didn't bring up the four-part docuseries now streaming on Hulu: The Fox Hollow Murders. Though the series focuses on the true crime aspect, we think you'll be stunned and mesmerized by the testimony of the one victim who got away. Did we mention that we have our own theories?

The story begins with a man witnessing an execution. That man was Thomas Whaley who, not long after, moves from his home in New York to San Diego, buys the land where the execution occurred, and builds a house on the spot where the gallows once stood. That house is now known as the Whaley House. The Whaley story is one full of heart wrenching tragedy and just plain bad luck. As you might have guessed, the story is full of both history and ghosts. Today, the house endures as a museum to the past and as one of San Diego's most prominent paranormal hotspots.

Send us a textIt's the most wonderful time of the year! The holidays are a time for friends and family, gifts under the tree, and sugarplum dreams unless, of course, you're on the naughty list. If that's the case, you might be called on by one of these Christmas Cryptids from folklore. While good boys and girls get a visit from the Jolly Old Elf himself, naughty children get a visit from Gryla, the ogress with an appetite for naughty children. If cute and cuddly is your thing, you might want to turn back now. According to Icelandic tradition, children who did their chores would receive new clothes for Christmas. On Christmas night, the enormous Yule Cat would visit and peer in windows to see who was wearing their new Christmas clothes. If you had none, you became dinner.

And if ghosty is what you're looking for, look no further than the Hostess City of the South, Savannah, GA. If you've listened to the pod long enough, you'll know there's nothing we love more than a secret tunnel, and Savannah's got a few. In this episode, we'll visit three locations connected to the tunnels including The Pirate's House where drunk patrons who were unfortunate enough to pass out in the bar might wake up aboard a ship far out at sea. Another is the Moon River Brewing Company. Be sure to say hello to Toby if you ever stop in for a drink. Lastly, we'll go to the Marshall House, an early Victorian era hotel. The award-winning inn sees thousands of guests, but some guests have never left. The fourth floor is home to ghost children who play in the hallways in the early morning hours. If that doesn't keep you up, the jiggling of your doorknob might.

Send us a Text Message.Hello there! It's been a while since our last Book Club Minisode. We missed you! Today we read Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. Jackson's 1959 novel has twice been made into a movie, once in 1963 and once in 1999. The '63 version is relatively faithful to the original novel: the '99 version, not so much. The book was also parodied in part of Scary Movie 2. There's even a BBC radio adaptation and a play. Most recently, a version of the same title can be found on Netflix, though it strays far from the occurrences of the book. If you haven't been able to tell, this one is a classic and for good reason.Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House on Amazon (this is a link to the special hardcover edition with black sprayed edges, there are other copies available)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!

First, we'll visit Sturdivant Hall where some claim that the ghost of a former owner is buried in the back yard. Next, we'll stop at the George O. Baker House where a Civil War soldier lingers near a blood stain on the floor. Our next stops include the Trotter Home, the Brownstone Manor, and the Weaver Castle House where a man died of a broken heart. It's gonna be a long drive so bring a pillow and plenty of snacks.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, we compare the real story of one of the most famous haunted dolls with the second film in the Conjuring universe: Annabelle. In 1970, a young nurse received a second-hand Raggedy Ann doll as a birthday gift from her mother. The woman would use the popular doll as a decorative piece in the apartment she shared with another nurse. It wasn't long before the doll, who the woman named Annabelle, went from cute to all-out terrifying when it began to move on its own around the apartment. By 1971, Ed and Lorraine Warren were called in. The film version of the Annabelle story opens with the Warrens talking to the nurses, but what else did the movie get right, and what did it get wrong? Is the truth stranger than fiction?You can stream the Annabelle movie on NetflixRed Web podcast on YouTube The True Story of Annabelle the Doll from Sept. 2022The Demonologist by Gerald Brittle, an Ed and Lorraine Warren BookEd Warren Tells the Real Story of Annebelle from Official Ed and Lorraine Warren ChannelIf you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!

Our logical sense tells us they're nonsense, but even in the face of reason, how many of us still exercise caution? As it turns out, discretion may indeed be the better part of valor, especially when dealing with the cursed objects in this episode. First we'll visit the Dybbuk box, an antique, portable wine cabinet that brings misfortune to whoever owns it. Second, we'll look at the curse surrounding the wrecked 1955 Porsche Spyder once owned by Hollywood Golden Age legend James Dean. Do curses really exist?

Send us a Text Message.In this first edition of Local Haunts, we visit two places in our area that you may not have heard about. The first is the (Old) Lake Club in Springfield, IL. In its day, the club was the most popular nightclub outside of Chicago. Mixed in with the usual spirits you'd find behind the bar was the ghost of Rudy, a much loved bartender from the club's hayday. Next, we'll hop over to Jacksonville and explore the Illinois State Hospital for the Insane. According to several sources, the abandoned hospital is the most haunted location in Jacksonville.

Send us a Text Message.Having investigated a funeral home ourselves, we couldn't wait to bring you an episode about a couple of them. First, we'll head to the Riddle House in Palm Beach Florida. The house is home to Buck, a kindly cemetery worker and Joseph, a tragic spirit who haunts the attic and has chased off workers restoring the home. Next, we'll visit the infamous House of Wills located in East Cleveland, Ohio. The historic House of Wills was once the largest African American owned business in Cleveland, but has since become one of the most haunted places you have probably never heard of. The building has more than one spirit, but one of them is certainly Mr. Wills himself.

Send us a Text Message.It's finally happened; we're going to jail. No, we're not in trouble—at least not yet—but we are going to visit two very haunted jails. The first is the Pottawatomie County Jail more famously known as The Squirrel Cage. Here, we'll find shadows lurking on the fourth floor, hear the voices of children in the juvie wing, and maybe run into a ghost cat or two. After a thirteen hour prison bus ride from Iowa, you'll find yourself outside the gates of Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, Tennessee's first maximum security prison that housed the state's worst offenders. Brushy was exceptionally brutal. If the prisoners didn't kill you, the guards might. With over 10,000 deaths, there is no shortage of vengeful spirits.

Send us a Text Message.Welcome to another cryptid-tastic episode! This time we'll take you back to 1952 when two brothers and a friend near the small town of Flatwoods, West Virginia were surprised by a bright light that landed near a local farm. Accompanied by a local National Guardsman, the group came face to face with something straight out of a sci-fi movie: the Flatwoods Monster. Twenty years later in the rural southeastern Illinois town of Enfield, Henry McDaniel and his children were terrorized by a three-legged creature with large pink eyes as big as flashlights that tried to gain access to their home. The Enfield Horror, as it would come to be known, left its mark on a town such that to this day, some refuse to talk about it.Flatwoods Monster on WikipediaBraxton, VW - Flatwoods pageFlatwoods Monster Museum MerchBuy Troy Taylor book: Monsters of Illinois“The Full Story of the Monster at Enfield” by Bob GymlanInternational Cryptid MuseumIf you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!
Send us a Text Message.On today's Book Club Minisode we read Craig DiLouie's much loved Episode Thirteen. The distinct storytelling makes this novel one of the most unique and interesting novels we've ever read. The novel depicts a group of paranormal investigators desperately trying to secure a second season for their paranormal television show Fade to Black. Throughout the novel, the reader experiences every second of the character's lives via journal entries, text messages, and on-screen dialogue via transcript. We recommend you read this one.

Send us a Text Message.Once again, it's time to pack up the Ope, A Ghost van and hit the road. We hope you have a taste for seafood and Tex-Mex because we're headed to Galveston, Texas. Our first stop will be the Galveston Railroad Museum—also known as Jonathan's Train Depot—where one traveler might have lost his head, but not his hat. Next, we'll swing by the local Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and check in on the ghost children haunting the toy aisle. If we get sleepy, we can always stay at the famous Galvez Hotel and hope to catch a glimpse of Audra, the Lovelorn Lady. Or, we could check-in at The Tremont House hotel and visit with the ghosts of a nun and several children. Did we mention that The Tremont House was built atop a mass grave?

In this episode, we look at two completely unrelated locations. The only thing they have in common is they are both haunted. First, we'll visit Union Station in Kansas City. Missouri. Union Station was the site of a mob rescue gone wrong—or was it a hit job? Then we'll head out west to the scenic Denver Botanic Gardens which were built on land that was once a cemetery. Of course they moved all the bodies; why wouldn't they move all the bodies.

Send us a Text Message.The Conjuring Movie vs. RealityIn 2013, moviegoers were engrossed with The Conjuring. The film would become the first of three in the Conjuring series—so far. Based on the true story of the Perron family, the story is pulled from the case files of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. According to Andrea Parron, parts of the real story were left on the cutting room floor because it was too terrifying for audiences. So, what did Hollywood get right?

Imagine if those same spooky spaces were also haunted. Join us on this episode as we visit two such places. The first is the once abandoned houses that make up Heritage Square, a museum to the architecture of Southern California from 1850-1950.

The second is the abandoned Cherokee Hills Boy Scout Camp where shadows and a ghost girl wearing a prom dress have been reported.
