Wheatlands Plantation
This week we venture to Sevier County, TN to the haunted Wheatlands Plantation. This antebellum home has seen more than it's share of murder, death, and violence, potentially fueled by a geode upon which the house was reportedly built. Are the spirits of former slaves still lingering on the property? Is a father-son feud that ended in murder still playing out within the house to this day? Find out as we explore who, or what, might be lingering at Wheatlands!

The Curse of Dudley Town
We're joined tonight by a previous guest, Shell, as we venture to a seldom talked about area of Appalachia. We explore Dudley Town, Connecticut, which is often called Connecticut's own Village of the Damned.
A lot of strange things happened in Dudley Town and the surrounding area known as Cornwall. Do we think it's cursed? We also discuss curses in general, as well as a few personal spooky encounters that have given us the point of views we have on the supernatural today. We hope you'll join us!
