  • Newgate Prison: The mine of the damned
    Jan 20 2026

    Newgate prison was not just a jail, it was a brutal underground copper mine turned human cage. Prisoners slept in freezing darkness, chained together, sick, starving, and surrounded by filth. Many never made it out alive.

    Tonight, we descend into the shafts where screams once echoed off stone walls, where men died in the same place they were forced to eat, sleep, and relieve themselves. Loyalists, criminals, and the forgotten were sealed below ground as punishment. From its historic history to the shadow figures, disembodied voices, and overwhelming dread still reported today, Newgate prison has earned its reputation as one of the most haunted locations in New England.

  • The Biltmore Hotel: Providence's Haunted Icon
    Jan 13 2026

    Once the tallest building in Rhode Island, The Biltmore Hotel towers over Providence like a forgotten monument to another time. Behind its grand halls and art-deco elegance lies stories of tragedy, secrecy, and whispers that never quite faded. Guests have reported strange footsteps, unexplained voices, and the unsettling feeling of being watched when no one else is there. Tonight, we are peeling back the polished surface of the Biltmore to explore the history it doesn't advertise, and the spirits that may still be checked in.

  • The Shanley Hotel feat Kelly and Shalan

    The Shanley Hotel in New York is one of the most notoriously haunted hotels in the northeast and this week I had some special help. With Steph out sick, I had the incredible opportunity to team up with the hotel owner Kelly and staff member Shalan, who joined as special guest co-hosts.

    Together, we dive into the hotel's history, its unsettling ghost stories, and the spirits that still linger the halls. Kelly and Shalan share firsthand encounters, experiences, and behind the scenes stories that only those who work inside the hotel truly know.
