Well, hello there! I almost feel like I need to re-introduce myself, it's been so long. We're kicking off the (second) return of Station 59 with the story of the McRaven House, the most haunted home in Mississippi. Bad luck seems to have followed this home since it was first built, and we've got a slew of ghosts to prove it.

You're not gonna want to miss this one! On today's episode, I am joined by Vinny Carbone, a paranormal investigator and lecturer with an impressive résumé. We discuss Amityville, the psychology of a haunting, the ups and downs of ghost hunting, and so much more! Huge thank you to Vinny for chatting with me! Find him on YouTube at Vinny Carbone - Paranormal Investigator or @carbone_paranormal on Instagram!

We have a lot to catch up on! Besides my recent life, we're also going to discuss a ghost story. Today, I'm bringing you the horrifying tale of Pennhurst State School and Hospital. As usual, I have a lot of opinions about this one.

Sometimes life gets hard, but there's nothing that a good ghost story can't help with. That's what I'm telling myself at least. Today, we're going across the pond to talk about the Black Monk of Pontefract, the UK's most violent haunting. I really do love a good poltergeist.

I'm driving the babble bus today. The very spooky story of the very haunted St. Albans Sanatorium in Radford, Virginia comes along with bonus tangents about the history of psychiatric treatments, haunted houses, and my secret ghost-hunting wishes.

If I'd realized sooner that this was my 50th episode, I would've made a fuss about it, but anyway, hi! Today is still special, because we're discussing one of my all-time favorite stories: The Bell Witch. Everyone always says ghosts can't hurt you, but this one may have killed someone. Let's get into it. Today's sources include.. bellwitchcave.com, Wikipedia, theculturetrip.com, Atlas Obscura, legendsofamerica.com, All That's Interesting, and bellwitch.org

You know in Disney's "Haunted Mansion" how there's just a zillion different ghosts all chilling in one spot? That's basically the Shanley Hotel. From a loving hotel owner to an angry child murderer and everything in between, the Shanley in Napanoch, New York is home to a whole cast of characters. Today, we're gonna get into as many as we can before the plague catches up to me again.

Today we're curing bad vibes with caffeine, and I can't decide if that's a good move or a bad one. On this episode, it's another compilation, as we deep-dive into three paranormal games/rituals that have gone viral online. I tell you all about the elevator game, the three kings ritual, and the Midnight Man, and go off on a couple tangents along the way, of course. Today's sources include: sherryosborne.com, scarystudies.com, creepypasta.fandom.com, and weekinweird.com

I'm really putting my story-telling skills to the test with this episode. Today, I decided to keep it local-ish with the haunting of the Sallie House in Atchison, Kansas. This is easily one of my favorite scary stories of all-time, and I'm so excited to share it with you! Dare I say this might be my spookiest episode yet? I'll let you be the judge of that. Today's sources include: visitatchison.com, onlyinyourstate.com, Wikipedia, saliehouse.com, and the episode of A Haunting titled "Sallie's House."

This is audio evidence of why I should never try to do anything past a certain time of night. Today's episode features the story of the Old City Jail in Charleston, South Carolina, as told by a very loopy, sleep-deprived Chelsea.

The ADHD is strong with this one. Today, we're kicking off the birthday celebrations with the mysterious story of the Flatwoods Monster, from Flatwoods, West Virginia. I have a lot of opinions in this one, as well as a lot of questions that will probably come back to haunt me.

I'm just gonna warn you now. This one is a tough listen, for so many reasons. Today, I bring you the final episode in my series of revamps, the story of Shelly Knotek. Now with more terrible facts and uncomfortable laughs than ever! Play along with your special sparkling water, and take a drink every time I mispronounce a word in this episode, good lord.

Are you dreaming of warmer weather? Planning your next trip to the lake? Maybe not anymore! Today, I'm bringing you three stories of bodies of water and the bodies they've claimed. Like, actually.

Happy birthday to Station 59! To celebrate one year of the show, I'm revamping my first three episodes, now with more nuns than ever! Well, at least in this episode. We're talking about Merle Hay Mall, an unexpected haunt in Des Moines, Iowa. I hope you like personal experiences, because I'm full of them today.

Is there anything scarier than a respiratory infection? Yes, and I'm here to tell you all about it. This week, I am covering the story of Leap Castle in Coolderry, Ireland. This centuries-old castle has seen unfathomable amounts of bloodshed, so is it any wonder that it has hundreds of spirits wandering around? Let's get into it.

Can we pretend my actively-having-an-allergic-reaction voice is ASMR? Yes, once again, I am struggling, but it's okay because we get to talk about my favorite city in the world! My snapchat memories of my trip to Savannah inspired today's story about the Sorrel-Weed House! Trigger warning for mentions of slavery and suicide in this one.

Please remember to lock your closet doors! In this gasp-worthy episode, I am joined by Stevi of the Truth or Demons Podcast! First, I tell her the story of the Whispers Estate in Mitchell, Indiana. Then Stevi tells me all about the true story that inspired the movie, The Entity. We laugh, we get the chills, spill some tea on the Warrens, and remind you how important it is to never renovate your house.

I, famously, do not go into the woods. I don't trust the woods. And maybe some of these creatures are the reason why. This week, I discuss 5 different cryptids you may have never heard of before!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I got this episode up on time! Let's take a cruise about it. This week, we're learning about the Most Haunted Ship in the World, the RMS Queen Mary! From her creation to her retirement, the almost 100-year-old ship has quite the history, and a spirited one at that!

Happy October! I'm kicking off the Halloween season a week late but I'm bringing you the story of one of my favorite places in the country, The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Never thought I'd love something in Arkansas so much! I cover the history of the city, as well as the hotel, and of course the ghosts! And what would an episode of this show be without a completely unrelated 5-minute-long tangent?

Welcome back to Haunted Holiday! Today I'm bringing us back on the world's creepiest road trip to visit the Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. We're gonna dive into the horrors that haunt these breezy halls, as well as the real life horror that is tuberculosis. And please brace yourself to hear me say the word 'lungs' about a hundred times.

Despite all my rage, I am still just a squirrel in a cage. This week, I am bringing you the story of the Squirrel Cage Jail, AKA Pottawattamie County Jail, in Council Bluffs, IA! More specifically, I'm bringing you the story of my friends and me getting LOCKED DOWN inside the jail for an entire night. I'm truly living my Zak Bagans fantasy.

Statistically speaking, this episode is lit! (You'll get this bad joke if you listen to the episode.) Despite Sweeney Todd thinking this was his time to shine, I managed to get through the constant interruptions to bring you the story of the Eastern State Penitentiary.

I'm here to tell you the true story behind the movie "The Haunting in Connecticut", as told by the Snedeker family. Buckle in, y'all, because this is a wild one!

It's another unhinged one. I set off just to chat and I wound up telling you a whole story. Specifically, the story of how I went to the Missouri State Penitentiary, and you get to hear about all the paranormal activity we experienced there. My back still hurts, in case you were wondering.

Did you know we have an official cocktail? Have you ever heard of Paul John Knowles? I'm bringing you all sorts of new information today! This week I'm bringing you the story of a Ted Bundy-esque killer that I'm willing to bet you know nothing about! This one gets rough so buckle up, y'all.

I hope you like talking about thunderstorms, because I'm going to be doing it the entire episode.

I'm alive! This week, I survived not only a haunted road trip, but a trip to the hospital, and still managed to get this episode out! I'm feeling pretty proud about that, I won't even lie to you. Today, I bring you the true crime story of Sharon Williams and Walter Scott. There's twists, turns, and plenty of sidebars for you. All that you wanted and more, right?

Greetings from the road! Today I have a real short lil shorty for you, as I quietly cover the Ashmore Estates in Ashmore, IL. Turns out that maybe recording a podcast in the middle of the night, only two days before I leave for a trip might not have been my best idea. Who knew?

I KNOW! I said Pedro weirdly. Can we please forget about it? This week I'm back to discuss my favorite things, with some exciting news, and the story of Dorothea Puente, AKA the Death House Landlady.

Ooh, buddy, I've got a doozy of a story to tell you today. Go ahead and get cozy, turn out the lights, and prepare to be horrified. Today, I'm bringing you to THE Haunted House of New Orleans, the LaLaurie Mansion. It's sick. It's twisted. It's haunted AF. Sounds good, right?

Let's talk about sex, baby! Actually, just kidding, let's completely turn our backs on it, as well as the rest of our earthly pleasures and possessions. Today I'm joined by my good friend, Millie-Rose, to talk about Heaven's Gate, the infamous suicide cult. We've got aliens, we've got Nike Decades, and we've got a surprising amount of discussion about Jesus and the Bible. What more could you ask for?

Tangents on tangents on tangents today! On this episode, I set out to tell you all about the Lemp Mansion and Brewery, and along the way we talk about beer, haunted dolls, Chinese food, and more. Tune in to find out if I ever get to the point... (I really do, I swear!)

It's finally here! The making of this episode was plagued with bad luck, but the podcast gods have finally smiled upon us. This week, we venture on down to Georgia to dive into the story of the Corpsewood Manor Murders. There's pink gargoyles, lots of drugs, and one podcast host who has a heck of a time telling sad stories. What's not to love?

Please don't be mad at me, I was the birthday girl! On this episode, I celebrate my belated birthday (and National Margarita Day) by telling you all about one of my favorite haunted locations, right here on my home turf. Yes, yes I know this is a true crime podcast too, I will get there eventually, I swear. But today, it's all about Edinburgh Manor, and their collection of spirits that LOVE to show up and show out. And of course, I got Zak Bagans involved in this too, who do you think I am?

Buckle in, y'all, we're going wildly off course with this one! This week, one of my kiddos kindly gave me the plague, so instead of our regularly scheduled programming, I figured we could take it easy. It's girl gone wild over here because I am unscripted and largely unedited (except for removing copious amounts of coughing and sniffling), as I discuss my own paranormal and true crime encounters, and get weirdly emotional as I get into what it was like for me growing up in a home sweet haunted home.

This week, I swore I was going to watch my language. That lasted for all of 2 minutes. But can you blame me? In this episode, I'm bringing you the best (worst?) of the Midwest with the incredibly haunted Missouri State Penitentiary. We've got the history, we've got the ghosts, and we've got sidebars galore! Let's dive in!

Maybe get yourself some hot cocoa for this one. I've had a week, so we're gonna get cozy today with the true stories behind 6 urban legends we all know and love. From the Bunny Man to Bloody Mary, this episode is sure to get you feeling nostalgic... or creeped out. One of the two!

Welcome to the cursed episode! Grab your marshmallows and get ready to learn all about the true crime spree that inspired my favorite story to tell around the campfire. Maybe grab a drink too, because Lord knows this episode made me want one. This week, we're back to our roots, and cracking into the tale of the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, AKA the Texarkana Phantom.

New drinking game: take a drink every time you hear the word "wow". Just kidding, don't do that, you'll die! Do grab yourself your drink of choice and mosey on down with us to Bobby Mackey's Music World in Wilder, KY. In the final re-launch guest episode, I am joined by none other than my own microphone-shy mother, while we deep-dive down this well to hell.
