Don't Get Haunted

Liz and Ash

We look into weird stuff so you don’t have to… or so you can be equally confused with us. We talk about hauntings, strange places, creepy stories, and general “why does this exist?” moments—with commentary, jokes, and absolutely zero claims of expertise. We're not historians or professionals (and honestly, our geography is embarrassingly bad) We just like poking around odd, spooky, and unexplained things and talking about how weird it all is. We keep it light, fun, and very unserious. This channel is basically you hanging out with us while we go, “Okay, so this is weird?"

    The Enfield Poltergeist: A Voice Came From the Girl… But It Wasn’t Hers

    Okay, let’s talk about the Enfield Poltergeist...definitely our creepiest episode yet. So creepy, in fact, we had to rerecord the end because our recording stopped 1/2 way through the episode! If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a very normal suburban house suddenly turned into the center of one of the most debated paranormal cases in the world… well… this is that story. In 1977, a single mom and her four kids were living in a modest council house in Enfield, England when things started getting… weird. At first it was small stuff. Knocking sounds in the walls, furniture shifting, toys moving when no one was touching them. You know… the kind of thing you might brush off as the house settling. Until it got serious. Soon police officers were being called to the home because chairs were sliding across the floor on their own. Journalists started showing up. Paranormal investigators moved in. And one of the Hodgson daughters began speaking in a deep, gravelly voice that she said belonged to a man who had died in the house years before. Which is… not exactly normal eleven-year-old behavior (I guess it depends on who you ask, lol). For the next 18 months, the house became a circus of investigators, skeptics, believers, reporters, and curious onlookers — all trying to figure out the same thing: Was this one of the most convincing paranormal cases ever recorded… or one of the most elaborate hoaxes? In this episode, we’re walking through the strange events that happened inside the house, the moments that made even skeptics pause, and how this case eventually inspired one of the greatest paranormal movies of all time! I'm still too scared to watch it - eek. The movie version is spooky… but the real story is a lot messier, weirder, and honestly a little harder to explain. So grab your headphones, get cozy, and come hang out with us while we dig into one of the most famous hauntings in paranormal history. And remember…listen responsibly. We’re here to tell the creepy stories — so you don’t have to go out and get haunted yourself. 👀

    What’s Buried Beneath Lincoln Park? Chicago’s Forgotten Cemetery

    Have you ever walked through a place that’s really pretty… like peaceful, sunny, people walking their dogs… but something about it just feels a little… off? That’s kind of how a lot of people describe Lincoln Park in Chicago. Today it’s one of the most popular spots in the city. There’s a zoo, running trails, gardens, families everywhere in the summer. It’s honestly a really beautiful park. But here’s the thing most people visiting have no idea about. Lincoln Park used to be a cemetery. Not a small one either. Back in the 1800s, this was one of the largest burial grounds in Chicago. Thousands of people were buried here — families, soldiers, victims of disease, everyday Chicagoans whose stories slowly faded into history. Eventually, as the city grew, officials decided they needed the land. So the graves were supposed to be moved - many of them were. But… not all of them. Over the years, construction crews working in the park have uncovered coffins, bones, and entire graves that were never relocated. In 1998 alone, workers discovered hundreds of human remains buried beneath what people now think of as just a regular city park.   Which makes you wonder, if thousands of people were once laid to rest here… and some of them never left…What does that do to a place?  People talk about strange feelings near the Couch Mausoleum, the last visible structure from the old cemetery.  And visitors sometimes say certain parts of the park just feel… heavier than others. Now, maybe that’s just the power of knowing the history. Or maybe when a place holds thousands of forgotten stories,a little bit of that energy sticks around. Either way… Once you know what used to be here, it’s really hard to walk through Lincoln Park the same way again. Grab your headphones and let's hang out!

    Winchester Mystery House; What Was Sarah Thinking?

    Disclaimer to our new listeners: We’re just as confused as you are about all this, but here’s what we think is going on…Today, we’re stumbling down the rabbit hole that is the Winchester Mystery House. This place is WILD.The whole story starts with Sarah Winchester—the widow of the Winchester rifle guy. Sarah, after some personal losses, apparently went a little… let’s say, architecturally off the rails. She was told that the ghosts of people killed by her husband's rifles were haunting her. So, she did what any of us would do, right? She built a giant, weird mansion with a bunch of bizarre rooms and secret staircases that go absolutely nowhere.We think this was all to appease the spirits? But… let’s be real. We’re still working through the details. What we do know: it’s a mansion that looks like it was built by someone who got directions from a ghost and then just winged it (so maybe the legend is true??)Throughout the episode, we try to piece it all together, but there are SO MANY QUESTIONS. Like, did the ghosts actually tell her to do this? Did she have a ghost architect? Did she just really like confusing staircases? (We’re betting on "all of the above.") We’re learning as we go here, so don't expect expert answers, BUT we do have a lot of … what the heck moments! So… come along for the ride and help us figure this out (we definitely don’t have it all figured out yet) And spoiler alert—we may or may not be haunted now…ooops!
