I always look forward to our Live Halloween episodes (especially when Charlie presents because then it’s just kind of like a trip 😂). Because I love West Virginia and the Appalachian Mountains, I was incredibly excited about this particular trip. Plus - we’d get to tour the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and our Airbnb had a hot tub! Then I got sick 🤒 I give so much credit to Charlie and our friends Parker and Matt for putting up with me and helping stuff my body with various pills and medications so we could get through the couple of days. And, I’m actually thankful I was away from my family so they didn’t have to risk being infected. Overall, despite coughing up at least one of my lungs, it was a really great trip. We are already planning next years and finding ways to bolster the wifi 😵‍💫 -Tyler

Haunted Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

Here is our Halloween special from the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum! Thanks to everyone who tuned in. If you missed it, it is available to listen to now! 👻 The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, North America's largest hand-cut stone masonry building, stands as a Gothic monument to both healing and horror in West Virginia. Built in 1858 following Thomas Kirkbride's revolutionary design principles and Dorothea Dix's beliefs, which emphasized therapeutic sunlight and fresh air through its 900 windows, the asylum initially provided excellent care, complete with its own farm and dairy to ensure quality food for patients. The early period was so positive that one patient described it as "heaven," not a "nut house." However, the Civil War marked a dramatic turning point, as the asylum was converted into Camp Tyler and its construction funds were seized by Union soldiers. What followed was a descent into overcrowding and controversy, with the facility housing 2,500 patients despite being designed for just 250. The situation worsened with Dr. Walter Freeman's infamous $25 lobotomies, performed as theatrical presentations, along with other controversial treatments like electroshock therapy. By 1994, the asylum closed its doors, but its legacy lives on through reported paranormal activity, including famous spirits like Lily, a young girl who died of pneumonia, Ruth, a man-hating female patient, and various Civil War soldiers who still supposedly roam its halls.

Bizarre News and Worst Halloween Treats Blind Rankings

It is Bizarre News and Blind Rankings time again! This week, we cover: Story 1 - A mysterious rectangular structure resembling a door was spotted via Google Maps on an Antarctic mountainside, sparking widespread speculation about potential hidden bases, ancient civilizations, or extraterrestrial activity. While skeptics suggest the formation is likely a natural geological feature or satellite imaging artifact, the discovery has reignited broader discussions about Antarctica's unexplored regions and what might lie beneath its icy surface. Story 2 - A 20-year-old psychic medium from West Yorkshire named Hannah Rose maintains a collection of 14 allegedly haunted dolls, which she claims can cause paranormal disturbances including hiding objects and, in one case, scratching her arm. Having experienced paranormal encounters since age seven, Hannah dedicates herself to caring for these dolls through cleaning rituals and communication sessions, viewing her role as providing understandin...

The Mysterious 1am Phone Call

via IFTTT

We got a couple of creepy listener submissions for you this week! The first submission is from Jayd (love the way her name is spelled!) Jayd's story begins in childhood, where she encounters shadow figures and communicates with spirits, including her late great-grandfather. Her experiences intensify after using an Ouija board, leading to terrifying encounters with malevolent entities and sleep paralysis. Our second story is from Abby. Abby's tale spans several years and locations, starting with a ghostly encounter possibly linked to her grandfather's spirit. While house hunting with her family in a home that gave her weird feelings, she notices a strange image in a selfie that she took on the property. And finally, her submission escalates on a bone-chilling night shift at an assisted living facility, where she faces unexplained phone calls, moving objects, and the lingering presence of those who have passed.

I almost didn’t think it was going to happen this year, but due to scheduling issues we actually got to record some patreon content on my deck (we keep main feed recording in studio 100% so your ears only get the best and silkiest audio). It was chilly and Charlie almost gave away our Halloween plans 😂but it’s always fun to record outside under the twinkle lights.
