Brilliant!
Thought this would maybe be too specific since I don't know much about Philadelphia, exept the Phillies are doing even worse than my Mets, but it's a great podcast with an interesting mix of hauntings, history and true crime. The host is just the most engaged, lovable and coolest person ever. If you love history and twisted tales this is for you.
