  • Case File - The Haunted Hill House - Part 2
    Nov 6 2026

    On this episode, Christy and Kathy continue their case file on the Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, Texas, revisiting its history and theories about water, minerals, and human activity influencing hauntings, including the owners’ collection of reportedly cursed items. From the first visit, they recap disembodied voices in the living room, lights turning off, equipment moved, unexplained activity on camera, and a noise loud enough to wake the dead. They then begin to describe a second trip (April) with Christy and the API team, using toys, EMF tools, and a spirit box, capturing additional disembodied voices during a blackjack session in the “scratcher room,” multiple strange audio clips, and spirit-box responses from a local legendary ghost.

  • Bonus Episode: The Thinning Veil of Halloween
    Nov 1 2026

    On this bonus Halloween episode, Christy and Kathy discuss the idea that the “veil” between spiritual and physical realms is thinner on October 31, tracing beliefs to pagan traditions and Catholic Hallowtide (All Hallows’ Eve, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day), including medieval “souling” as an influence on trick-or-treating. They cover folklore such as Stingy Jack and the origins of jack-o’-lanterns, Bloody Mary, mirror-covering traditions, and cultural practices like writing letters to the dead, lighting candles, and Día de los Muertos’ blending Catholic and Aztec roots. From a skeptical and metaphysical view, they discuss how perceived Halloween activity may come from heightened expectation and seasonal mood changes rather than an actually thinner veil, while warning that séances, mirrors, and Ouija boards can invite unintended communication which requires spiritual protection.

  • Case Files - The Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, TX
    Oct 23 2026

    On this Case File episode, Christy and Kathy introduce their investigation of the Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, Texas, conducted over two-night visits on Nov. 7–8, 2025 and Apr. 10–11, 2026, and discuss theories for why activity varies night to night from both paranormal and skeptical viewpoints. They outline reported phenomena at the location and share the home’s history, ownership by Sonny and Kathy Estes, and links to Mineral Wells “Crazy Water,” speakeasy/brothel rumors, and nearby East Mountain legends. Using equipment including cameras, EMF tools, REM pod, and a spirit box, they describe captured incidents: a toy dog activating unusually, a possible door slam, an audible disembodied female voice, ceiling-fan red light flickering, and a childlike hum and whistle heard and recorded, then tease a follow-up episode about a morning event and additional April evidence, plus a Halloween episode on “the veil.”
