    Season 1, Ep. 4: Indiana State Sanitorium

    Today we join the cool kids and check out the Indiana State Sanatorium! One of the newer locations to be found to be quite rife with paranormal weirdness, this location spans quite a bit of acreage with several buildings and creepy steam tunnels for you to check out! A poltergeisty laundry room, a spirit that loves to run up and down stairs, and a very crabby man in the biggest building on the property is what you'll likely find here. We love a good location that puts money back into the building's care, and the chance to really uncover new paranormal activity really can't be beat!

    Season 1, Episode 3: The Balgonie Castle, Scotland

    Widely considered one of the finest 14th century castles in Scotland, Balgonie Castle is also considered to be one of the most haunted locations in the U.K. as well! What with a skeleton found under the floor in 1912, and about 600 years of fighting prior to that, it's really no wonder! Join us in meeting Green Jeannie, a boisterous pup, and floating heads. Hahahaha! But really. In sad news, Carrie dashes Laura's hopes of them buying Balgonie House. Also in Scotland, but not the subject of today's show.
