    29: Michigan Murders: Pre-Ted Bundy, a Man Named Chauncey, and a Livestock Purchaser

    28: Lighthouses: Affectionate Hair Pulls and Useless Assistants

    We're back with all things Michigan (with episode 28, not 27)! During the break, Kennedy and Mikhaylie tried recording over a video call, so they may sound a little different. But maybe that just adds to the spookiness of the Whitefish Point and Big Bay Lighthouse.

    Maybe it's just Catholics, but a playground in your cemetery? Not that weird! At least that was Kennedy's reaction when Meakyle talked about the Dead Children's Playground. Between that story and Kennedy's about the San Antonio Railroad Tracks, you'll start fearing ghost children and swing sets. Or maybe that was the wind.
