    The Stanley Hotel: Ghosts, Hauntings & The Story Behind Stephen King's "The Shining"

    What if a hotel could remember everyone who ever stayed there? The Stanley Hotel in Colorado has welcomed guests since 1909, but some say not everyone ever checked out. In this episode, Lindsey and Nancy explore the history and reported hauntings of one of America's most famous haunted hotels. From mysterious footsteps and phantom piano music to Room 217 and the ghostly stories surrounding F.O. and Flora Stanley, we're separating the history from the legend. And then there's Stephen King. His stay at the nearly empty Stanley Hotel in 1974 inspired The Shining, forever connecting this grand Colorado hotel with one of the most famous horror stories ever written. But is the Stanley actually haunted? Or does something about an old hotel, filled with generations of memories, make us expect the ghosts to be there? Come check in with us. Just don't be surprised if something else checks in too.  Keep in Touch Facebook Instagram Share Your Ghost Story: Inheritedhauntings@gmail.com Merch  Enjoyed the episode?

    The Lizzie Borden House: Hauntings, Ghost Stories & Lindsey’s Halloween Encounter

    The Lizzie Borden House is famous for one of America's most notorious unsolved murders, but what happened inside the house didn't end in 1892. In this episode, Lindsey and Nancy leave the murder mystery behind and explore the strange reports that have made the Borden home one of America's most infamous haunted locations. From unexplained footsteps and voices to eerie touches, apparitions, and unsettling experiences reported by visitors, we look at what people say they've encountered inside the house.

    The Exeter Incident: New Hampshire’s UFO Encounter That Terrified a Town

    61 years ago this month, something very strange happened just outside of Exeter, New Hampshire. On September 3, 1965, 18 year old Norman Muscarello reported seeing a large object with brilliant red lights near a farm in Kensington NH. What makes the story especially interesting is that when Exeter police officers arrived to investigate, they reported seeing the object too. And now, 61 years later, Exeter is getting ready for its annual UFO Festival this weekend.  That made us think of an episode we did last year about the Incident at Exeter, so I thought I'd bring it back up for anyone who missed it, or anyone who's in the mood for a little UFO rabbit hole this weekend.  It's one of those cases where you can keep asking the same question: What exactly did they see that night? And if you're anywhere near Exeter this weekend, the UFO Festival is happening downtown Saturday and Sunday 9/5-9/6/26 with speakers, activities, historical presentations and trolley tours to the original incident site. Have your own ghost story? We want to hear it! Send your strange, unexplained, or downright creepy experiences to InheritedHauntings@gmail.com. Your story might even become part of a future episode.

    The Dodleston Messages: A Haunted Computer, a 16th-Century Ghost & Messages from 2109

    In 1984, a borrowed school computer in a quiet English cottage began receiving messages from a man who claimed to live in 1546… and later from someone in the year 2109. In this episode, Lindsey and Nancy dig into one of the strangest modern paranormal cases on record: the Dodleston Messages. A glowing “box of lights,” archaic English accusations of house-theft, a possible Tudor ghost named Thomas Harden, and cryptic communications from the future. Was it an elaborate hoax, a genuine time slip, or something even weirder? Settle in for a story that somehow manages to be both deeply unsettling and quietly ridiculous. ☕ Want to keep the late-night research (and questionable life choices) going?

    Two green children walk out of a forest speaking an unknown language. This isn't a fairy tale, it’s recorded in medieval history records.

    The Bell Witch: The Talking Spirit That Terrified a Family and Astonished Andrew Jackson

    We're re-releasing one of our favorite episodes, The Bell Witch, because during our recent episode on Gef the Talking Mongoose, we pointed out so many similarities between these two bizarre talking entities. If you enjoyed Gef's sarcastic personality, wait until you meet the Bell Witch. Join us as we revisit one of the most chilling and infamous paranormal legends in American history. We'll explore the terrifying experiences of the Bell family in early 1800s Tennessee, the mysterious entity that spoke, laughed, sang, and allegedly attacked members of the household, and the legend that future President Andrew Jackson visited the Bell farm to witness the strange events for himself, only to leave convinced that something beyond explanation was at work. Was the Bell Witch a vengeful spirit, an elaborate hoax, mass hysteria, or one of history's greatest unexplained mysteries? We mix the history with plenty of laughs, mother-daughter banter, and our own reactions to one of America's most enduring ghost stories. 👻 Have you experienced something you can't explain?
