    Ep. 40 The Haunting of Norwich State Hospital: Connecticuts Darkest Asylum

    Buckle up, ghost hunters - we’re diving deep into one of Connecticut’s most haunted locations. Norwich State Hospital operated from 1904 to 1996, and let me tell you, the spirits there are NOT at peace. This abandoned psychiatric hospital is crawling with paranormal activity that’ll make your skin crawl. In this episode, we explore the dark history of Norwich State Hospital, from its brutal treatment methods to the hundreds of patients who died within its walls. We’re talking apparitions in hospital gowns, disembodied screams echoing through empty corridors, and underground tunnels that serve as highways for the dead. I’ll walk you through the most active paranormal hotspots - the morgue where bodies stacked up, the hydrotherapy rooms where torture masqueraded as treatment, and the isolation cells where desperate patients clawed at the walls. Plus, we dive into the children’s ward reports that’ll absolutely wreck you. This isn’t your typical ghost story. These are the spirits of forgotten souls who suffered real trauma in a system that failed them. Whether you’re a paranormal believer or skeptic, the documented hauntings at Norwich State Hospital will make you question everything you think you know about life after death.

    Ep. 39 Going Down: The True Story of Chicago's Killer Elevator

    Discover the chilling true story of Marshall Field’s Death Elevator in Chicago - a fully functioning elevator that was permanently sealed after multiple deaths and relentless paranormal activity. This isn’t urban legend; it’s documented history. Between 1943 and the early 1950s, three people died in connection with one specific elevator at Chicago’s iconic Marshall Field’s department store. What followed were decades of unexplained phenomena: elevator operators feeling unseen presences, the smell of phantom perfume, doors opening onto blank walls, and machinery that malfunctioned despite being mechanically sound. The corporate response was unprecedented: Marshall Field’s permanently decommissioned the elevator, sealing it behind walls. But even decades later, employees report hearing the elevator moving, doors opening, and footsteps where no elevator exists anymore. Explore documented accounts from the Chicago History Museum’s oral histories, newspaper archives, and corporate records that prove this haunted elevator’s terrifying legacy. From 1940s elevator operators to modern-day Macy’s employees, the Death Elevator continues to make its presence known. Want your episodes sooner and ad free with so much more?

    Ep.38 Listener Tales, Vol 2: I Can't Make This Sh- Up!

    Okay friends, buckle the F up because this episode is WILD. We’re diving into your stories this week and let me tell you—our listeners do not disappoint. We’ve got haunted roads that’ll make you never want to drive at night again, ghostly apparitions that showed up at the absolute worst possible times (because apparently ghosts have zero chill), and—I’m serious when I say this—a crematory story that legitimately left me sitting in stunned silence for like five minutes after I read it. My jaw was on the floor. You’re gonna lose your mind. This is what I love about listener tales—these aren’t some recycled campfire stories or tourist trap legends. These are REAL experiences from REAL people who trusted me enough to share their most terrifying moments. And honestly? Some of this stuff is so bizarre and specific that you literally cannot make it up. So grab your headphones, maybe turn on a light or two, and let’s get into it. Fair warning: you might wanna save that crematory story for daylight hours. I’m just saying.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ For Early Access to the podcast, Merch & More, head over to patreon.com/creepyshitpodcast

    Ep. 37 Stranger Than Stranger Things: MKUltra Exposed

    What if I told you Stranger Things wasn’t just inspired by the 80s - it was inspired by actual government experiments on unwitting citizens? Project MKUltra was the CIA’s decades-long program testing mind control, psychic abilities, and psychological torture on people who never consented. We’re talking LSD dosing, sensory deprivation, electroshock therapy, and attempts to create actual telepaths. This isn’t conspiracy theory b******t - this is documented, declassified, admitted-to-by-the-government history. Join me as we dive into the real Hawkins Lab, explore why the Duffer Brothers were obsessed with this story, and uncover just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Spoiler: it’s way darker than anything Netflix showed you. Are we ready? Let’s get into some truly creepy shit. Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of non-consensual human experimentation, psychological torture, suicide, and government abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

    Ep. 36 Unsolved Mystery of Patricia Meehan: The Woman Who Walked Into Nowhere

    On April 20, 1989, 37-year-old Patricia Meehan crashed her car on a remote Montana highway, climbed out unhurt, and walked into an empty field—never to be seen again. Or was she? Over 5,000 people reported seeing her in the months and years that followed, always at truck stops, always alone, always talking to herself. But she was never found. This deep dive explores one of the most bizarre and potentially paranormal missing persons cases in American history. Patricia Meehan’s disappearance defies conventional explanation: her footprints vanished into thin air, massive searches found nothing, yet thousands of witnesses swore they saw her wandering the Pacific Northwest for years. Discover the haunting details: the silent stare after the crash, the footprints that led nowhere, the verified sightings across multiple states, and the heartbreaking search by parents who died without answers. Was Patricia suffering from amnesia? Did she intentionally disappear? Or did she walk into something paranormal we can’t explain? 35 years later, this case remains unsolved and deeply disturbing.

This true paranormal story features everything: a mother’s tragic grief, a peaceful monastery turned battleground, an armed standoff that made national headlines, and all the potential for some serious hauntings. In this episode of Creepy Shit Podcast, I investigate a fan-requested haunted location right in our own backyard.

The standoff featured gunfire, the National Guard, and even Marlon Brando. After suspected arson destroyed the interior, the mansion sat abandoned for decades—but paranormal investigators believe the spirits never left. Listen Now & experience the heavy, watchful energy that still permeates this tragic location. With restoration currently underway and plans to convert it into an Airbnb, this haunted mansion may soon be open to ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts.

    Ep. 34 Hill of Crosses

    Deep in Lithuania lies a hill covered with over 100,000 crosses - a place so psychologically intense it defies explanation. The Hill of Crosses has mysterious 14th-century origins, survived three Soviet bulldozings, and continues to affect visitors in ways that challenge rational thought. This isn’t your typical ghost story - it’s something far more unsettling. Join us as we explore the true history of Kryžių kalnas, from its unknown medieval beginnings to its role as a symbol of resistance against Soviet oppression. Discover why people risked everything to secretly place crosses on this hill, why it resurrected itself after being destroyed, and what happens when 700 years of human desperation gets concentrated in one location. No fabricated hauntings needed - the documented reality is disturbing enough. This is the story of a place where faith, trauma, and defiance created something that operates by different rules than normal geography. **RESEARCH & REFERENCE - Hill of Crosses located near Šiauliai, Lithuania - Origins traced to 14th century, exact beginning unknown - Conservative estimate: 100,000+ crosses - Bulldozed by Soviets 3 times (1961, 1963, 1973) - Each time crosses returned within months - Pope John Paul II visit: September 7, 1993 - UNESCO recognition as cultural heritage site - Still active pilgrimage destination with daily additions

  8. Ep. 33 The Sweating Sickness: England’s Deadliest Mystery

    Ep. 33 The Sweating Sickness: England’s Deadliest Mystery

    What if England’s most terrifying plague was never really a disease at all? Between 1485 and 1551, something stalked through Tudor England that made the Black Death look like child’s play. The Sweating Sickness could kill you in two hours flat – and you’d be conscious for every agonizing minute of it. It didn’t care if you were rich or poor, young or old. But here’s the f****d up part: it seemed to *choose* its victims. This wasn’t your typical medieval plague. It targeted intellectuals and nobles while sparing peasants. It appeared out of nowhere, terrorized the kingdom, then vanished completely – only to return decades later like some kind of supernatural boomerang from hell. And when it finally disappeared for good? It left behind a trail of paranormal activity that still haunts England today. From the black hounds with glowing red eyes that prowled London’s streets during outbreaks, to the fever ghosts still seen wandering Greenwich Palace, to the cursed manuscript that killed every scholar who tried to read it – this is a medical mystery that defies every rule of science and ventures deep into occult territory. Was the Sweating Sickness a natural disease that science still can’t explain? Or was it something far more sinister – a supernatural weapon wielded by the Tudor dynasty to eliminate their enemies? And if the legends are true, the knowledge of how to summon it might still exist today, hidden away and waiting for the right moment to unleash hell once again. Join us as we dive into one of history’s most disturbing unsolved mysteries, where medicine meets the paranormal and the line between disease and curse becomes terrifyingly blurred. **Warning: This episode contains discussions of death, disease, and potentially disturbing paranormal content.
