    Is Yuengling Haunted? Ghosts of America’s Oldest Brewery

    Episode 47: What’s a ghost’s favorite drink? Boo’s, of course. In this episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we travel to Pottsville, Pennsylvania to investigate the haunted history of Yuengling Brewery—America’s oldest operating brewery. Rumors swirl of former workers still roaming the underground beer caves, hand-dug by miners, and the ghostly echoes that remain. Our journey continues to the Yuengling Mansion on Mahantango Street, where unexplained footsteps, self-opening doors, and reports of spirits—including a young boy and Irish servants—hint at a deeper supernatural story. We also visit the Charles Baber Cemetery, the final resting place of David G. Yuengling (1808–1877), where a ghostly shooting was once reported in the Pottsville Miners Journal. Local legends also speak of Corpse Candles—glowing death omens—seen by Welsh youths among the headstones. Finally, we head to St. Clair, PA to grab a drink at the haunted Wooden Keg Tavern—a former Molly Maguire hangout, complete with a historic Speakeasy and underground tunnel rumored to be as full of spirits as it once was of whiskey. So crack open a bottle, hit play, and join us as we explore the legends, hauntings, and hidden history of Yuengling and the ghosts of Schuylkill County. https://www.yuengling.com Miners Journal - December 2, 1865 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35668231/david_gottlob-yuengling Coal Country Ghosts Legends and Lore (Schuylkill and Carbon Counties, Pennsylvania) by Charles J Adams III 2004 https://woodenkegtavern.com Spooky Pennsylvania by S.E.

  2. Millheim Hotel Haunting & The Headless Switchman

    Millheim Hotel Haunting & The Headless Switchman

    Episode 46: In this episode of Slice of the Paranormal, the team travels to Centre County, Pennsylvania to investigate two chilling legends. First, we explore the haunted Millheim Hotel, rumored to be the final waiting place of President Millard Fillmore’s mistress. History says he may have fathered a child with her and then disappeared—ghosting her in more ways than one. Is her spirit still roaming the halls, waiting for a man who will never return? Then, we dig into the unsettling local legend of the Headless Switchman—a railroad ghost said to haunt the tracks with a lantern in hand and no head on his shoulders. This spectral figure has been seen since at least 1975, with reports as recent as 2001. Why are railroad ghosts fading from memory across the country… but still so active in Centre County? And of course, we wrap things up with a visit to a local Pennsylvania pizza spot—because ghosts and a proper slice go hand in hand.

    From Meadville to the Movies: The Haunted Legend of Pig Hill with R.A. Mihailoff and Ted Watts Jr.

    Episode 45: Slice of the Paranormal has gotten exclusive access to the upcoming horror movie Pig Hill — based on a haunted site we investigated back in Episode 32! While visiting the infamous Pennhurst Asylum, Christy and Steven met horror icon R.A. Mihailoff (best known as Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre III). They discussed the chilling dark lore of Crawford County’s notorious Pig Hill — a haunted landscape shrouded in local legend. R.A., who has starred in cult horror classics like Hatchet II, Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings, and Death House, has teamed up with fellow Crawford County native Ted Watts Jr. (Last Flag Flying, The Clog, Pig Hill). Together, they’ve brought this terrifying urban legend to the big screen. Inspired by Nancy Williams’ book Pig Hill, the film blends real Pennsylvania folklore, a local radio tower hill, and the chilling tales of Meadville into a nightmare come alive for horror fans everywhere. In this episode, we dive into the making of Pig Hill, the eerie history behind the legend, and how small-town ghost stories can transform into national horror cinema. If you love paranormal investigations, haunted Pennsylvania stories, and behind-the-scenes horror movie insights, this episode is for you.

    Inside the Smurl Haunting and the Warren Legacy with Chris McKinnell

    Episode 45: In this episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we sit down with Chris McKinnell, grandson of world-famous paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Chris is also the founder and CEO of the Warren Legacy Foundation for Paranormal Research, which continues the work of helping people affected by unexplained phenomena. With the next Conjuring movie titled Last Rites on the way, many believe it will draw inspiration from the real-life Smurl Haunting that took place in West Pittston Pennsylvania. Chris is the perfect guest to speak with because he personally investigated the Smurl case in the 1970s. In this episode we cover: • The true story of the Smurl Haunting • What Chris experienced on Chase Street • How the Warren Legacy Foundation helps people facing paranormal events around the world If you or someone you know is dealing with strange and disturbing activity, this episode offers a deeper look into one of the most intense cases in American paranormal history. The Warrens may be gone, but their work is alive through Chris and his global team.

    Haunted Hotel Edison - Ghosts of Sunbury PA & the Peanut Baby Grave

    Episode 43: In this week’s episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we travel to Sunbury, Pennsylvania to investigate the haunted Hotel Edison—the very site where Thomas Edison first demonstrated his revolutionary three-wire lighting system. But that’s just the beginning. This historic hotel survived a devastating fire and has been the final stop for several souls. Locals say it’s haunted, and we’re here to find out why. We dive into ghost stories tied to the building and explore Edison’s fascination with the afterlife, including his strange ambition to build a “Spirit Phone”—a device he hoped could contact the dead. It might sound like science fiction, but old issues of Popular Mechanics suggest otherwise... While in Sunbury, we also dig into some local legends and strange graves, including: The mysterious Peanut Baby (George W. Metzgar) Civil War Drummer Boy John Boulton Young, better known as “Boultie” And of course—it wouldn’t be a Slice trip without a stop for local Pennsylvania pizza. 🔦 Paranormal investigation meets strange history, ghost stories, and small-town mysteries.
