Ready for a season that actually hits the road? We’re opening Season Six with a plan that’s equal parts ambitious and grounded: Waverly Hills is booked, and six more investigations are mapped across a multi-state route designed to bring you new stories, new evidence, and a few legendary locations with fresh eyes. After a year packed with real-life detours, we’re back with a tighter strategy, better pacing, and a promise to share the journey as it unfolds.

We walk through what makes Waverly Hills so compelling—the scale, the history, and the fifth floor where we captured our longest EVP to date—and how we’ll structure sessions to take advantage of long sightlines and quiet pockets. Then we widen the lens: Villisca Axe Murder House for true-crime intensity, the Squirrel Cage Jail for rotary-cell weirdness, Post-Town Elementary for documented activity and overnight experiments, plus the Gill House, the Bihl (Beal) Manor, and Loveland Castle to round out a lineup that blends famous haunts with under-the-radar gems. Each stop gives us a different acoustic profile, layout, and historical context, and we’re leaning into that variety to compare what “evidence” looks and sounds like across spaces.

Along the way, we revisit favorite moments that shaped our approach: footsteps pacing the Washoe Club hallway, pranks and sudden chills at the Stanley, and the simple truth that good energy often yields clearer EVPs. Our best captures rarely happen when we’re stiffly interrogating the room; they happen when we’re present, laughing, and paying attention. That mindset drives our road plan, our gear choices, and how we’ll share updates—expect candid check-ins, behind-the-scenes clips, and a push for more YouTube content to bring you inside the investigation.

If you love haunted history, field-tested methods, and a team that balances rigor with ridiculous laughter, you’ll fit right in. Tap play, ride shotgun on the road trip, and tell us where you want us to investigate next. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with a friend who believes good energy attracts great evidence.

A basement fire, a desperate escape, and a suitcase full of contradictions turned the Hotel Congress into one of the Southwest’s most enduring ghost stories. We head to downtown Tucson to unravel how a 1918 rail-side hotel became ground zero for Dillinger’s capture and a century of spectral lore, then walk room by room through the encounters that keep investigators coming back.

We start with the history: Congress Street’s expansion, the Southern Pacific station, and the 1934 blaze that raced upward to the gang’s hideout. From there, we sift through the strangest details in the recovered luggage—Tommy guns, body armor, cash, gold coins, and whispers of a glass eyeball and a skeletal hand—and how those artifacts shaped decades of first-hand claims from staff and guests. The building’s restoration, landmark status, and still-working switchboard frame a space where time hasn’t fully moved on.

Then we dig into the hauntings with care. Room 242 carries the weight of a life cut short, with reports of a woman in white who sits at the bed or curls close in quiet grief. Room 220 is lighter, marked by a World War II veteran’s routine and the playful reappearance of butter knives left in impossible places. Room 214 hosts a dapper figure in seersucker and hat, often seen at the window of an unrented room, while 212 delivers pure anxiety: locks clicking, doors opening, and a ghostly “apprentice” practicing the craft of intrusion. Under the sidewalks, sealed tunnels with old glass lenses echo a harsher past—Chinese labor routes, smugglers, and disappearances—that anchor the hotel’s stories in Tucson’s wider underground.

If you love haunted hotels, true crime legends, and the way residual energy loops through old routines, this tour of the Hotel Congress is your next deep dive. We share what to watch for, how to plan a multi-room investigation, and where to extend your trip—Tombstone, Bisbee, and beyond—for a full Southern Arizona paranormal circuit. Subscribe, share with a fellow ghost nerd, and leave a review telling us which room you’d dare to spend the night in.

We apologize for the echo and technical difficulties.

The quiet streets of Baraboo hide a thundering past. We head straight into Circus City’s living history—where the Ringling Brothers built their empire—and follow a single case that starts with an old house, a fallen barn, and a family desperate for sleep, then spirals into one of the strangest hauntings we’ve explored. When sledgehammer blows rattle the walls, a window bursts without warning, and a goldfish bowl hits the floor with no water and no fish, a no-nonsense police chief and three deputies step in. What they witness—clean snow, no footprints, and a Buick sedan dragged uphill with its wheels locked—turns a simple vandalism call into a mystery of weight, force, and a presence that refuses to be seen.

We connect the dots the way a good investigator would: biography, materials, and place. Rose Holliday’s late husband trained elephants for the circus. The house on 8th Street? Built from reclaimed lumber taken from a Ringling elephant-training barn that once held 24 giants. Suddenly the reports make a different kind of sense. The “dog-shaped” shadow children feared, the barn collapse, the house-quaking booms—these aren’t parlor tricks. They feel like boundaries enforced by something that knows its size and space. Whether you land on intelligent haunting, place memory, or an extraordinary string of coincidences, the story forces a new respect for how history embeds in wood, earth, and routine.

Along the way, we revisit how the Ringling Brothers rose from a one-ring show to a national force, how circus territory agreements shaped entertainment, and why Baraboo’s winter quarters mattered. We consider the ethics of spectacle, the emotional residue of training, and what happens when you build a home from timbers that learned the rhythms of command, fear, and applause. The result is part ghost story, part cultural archaeology, and entirely unforgettable.

If this kind of deep-dive haunt keeps you curious, tap follow, share the episode with a friend who loves strange history, and leave a review with your best theory—intelligent haunting, residual echo, or something wilder?

Apologies for echo and technical difficulties.
