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!

For many of the early mariners traveling to Beaufort, North Carolina they were reliant upon physical landmarks to help guide them safely through the shoals and into the harbor entrance. Some of the early maps and charts of Port Beaufort indicate that one such landmark was the “White House.”  Little remains that offers insight into the origin of Beaufort's White House, but tradition maintains that what was once the White House is now the historic Hammock House. Identified as one of, if not, the oldest home in North Carolina, the Hammock House is full of history and tragedy from visitors both law-abiding and nefarious in the reputations.  As a result, the Hammock House has acquired more than its fair share of legends over the years, and according to local lore, the spirits of some of these guests still remain to this very day, everything from the echoes of ghostly screams to the clashing sounds of unseen sword fights.

On Wednesday, July 10, 1706, scores of people arrived at what is now known as Witch Duck Point on the Lynnhaven River in Virginia. They were there to witness a unique but brutal legal proceeding that would never again be carried out in the colony of Virginia– the trial of forty-six-year-old Grace Sherwood by ducking. It is unknown exactly what happened when she hit the water, but what was clear to the folks who came that day was that Grace Sherwood survived and therefore she must be a witch.  Help Southern Gothic grow by becoming a Patreon Supporter today!

Travel about 85 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas along Interstate 30 and you come to the town of Gurdon. In a remote area, several miles outside Gurdon sit railroad tracks for the Missouri Pacific Railroad.  It is along a four-mile stretch of track that sightings of a floating, glowing orb have been reported for the last ninety years, now known as the Gurdon Light. While there are of course scientific theories that attempt to explain the origin of the Gurdon Light, many instead believe the phenomenon is linked to a single event in history, the murder of a railroad foreman in 1931. Perhaps not everything seen along the railroad tracks is scientifically explainable, and if not, how long has the area been that way? Is the light something that only dates to the 1930s, or is it something that has been there much longer? Perhaps the Gurdon Light has always been there, it just took people to give it a name… Additional Links from this Episode: Purchase the Feminine Macabre, Vol. 3.

Atop Fort Mountain, in the northwestern corner of Georgia, is an 885-foot-long rock wall that zigzags its way through the curves of the mountain. Though the ruins were constructed with stone from the surrounding region, the story behind it, when it was built, and by whom, remains a mystery. Theories arose to explain the structure's origin, today most agree it was likely completed by Native people who lived in the area. But who were they? Legend says that a unique, ancient race of people once inhabited the highlands of lower Appalachia– a group known simply as the Moon-Eyed People. Often, described as light-skinned, with blonde hair and blue eyes; they were uniquely handicapped by their inability to see during the day The legend exists most prominently from the oral tradition of the Cherokee people, who purportedly encountered the ancient race upon their arrival to the region; however, the mystery as to who they were and where they went is far more complex.

  Parapsychologist and Clinical Therapist Brandon Massullo returns to discuss three different scientific papers he has co-authored involving the research and study of “haunted houses” and paranormal tourism. Plus his view on environmental influences of paranormal experiences vs. the interaction of the person experiencing it. And there's big news about a paranormal experience Brandon recently had himself! Visit BigSeance.com/206 for more info.   Other Listening Options Direct Download Link   In this episode: Episode Teaser :00 Intro :50 Brandon Massullo's Bio 1:31 Patrick and Brandon reminisce about the Haunted America Conference a few years back. 3:41 Brandon has co-authored three academic papers in recent years. These include Things That Go Bump in the Literature: An Environmental Appraisal of “Haunted Houses”, Environmental "Gestalt Influences" Pertinent to Studies of Haunted Houses, and Understanding Consumer Enchantment via Paranormal Tourism: Part I—Conceptual Review. 6:27 Environmental variables and cues. Going over the last 20 years of research into “haunted houses.” 8:43 Is the environment what's causing people to have ghostly experiences? 11:47 “It's not just environmental. It's actually a mixture of things. It's a mixture of environmental. It's a mixture of perceptual, cultural beliefs, psychological or emotional states. It's sort of a mixture of all these different things going on.” 13:25 It's about people and their surroundings. 16:00 “…we took away the emotional or the unique personal experience and we made it more about finding something in the environment. But I think it's an interaction. It's the right person in the right environment or the right moment. This person is part of the experience. If we ignore that person, we're ignoring fifty percent of this paranormal, or ghostly apparition, or haunt-type phenomenon that occurred.” 19:45 What is “gestalt”? 25:55 Cues, creepy dolls, and paranormal tourism. 27:34 Enchantment and paranormal tourism. 29:36 This episode of the Big Seance is brought to you by Jim Harold's Campfire! Tune in for true and fascinating stories as told by ordinary people who've had extraordinary experiences. Find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to The Big Seance. 32:51 Very soon Patrick gets to visit Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. What do you do when you walk into a haunted location? How do you approach it? 35:13 What is my motivation? What do I want to get out of this? 38:10 Four years ago Brandon told Patrick that he has never had a paranormal experience. BREAKING NEWS! This is no longer true! Brandon breaks it down. 41:37 Patrick tells the story of the night the Other Side reached out in an obvious way, but he ignored it! Why? 45:25 Ghostbusters and the library ghost. “Because if I accept that as something, my world changes.” 47:07 Brandon recounts this haunting experience in an upcoming book, Haunted Medina County Ohio. 49:25 Brandon's proton pack is his most treasured possession. 50:33 Final thoughts from Brandon. 54:00 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 55:43 Outro 57:50   For more on Brandon Massullo:  Brandon's previous appearance on the Big Seance Podcast (Episode 113) HauntedTheories.com Brandon's book, The Ghost Studies on Amazon Twitter: @HauntedTheories Facebook: Haunted Theories     The Big Seance Podcast can be found right here, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Stitcher, Amazon Music, and iHeart Radio.
