Broad Mountain Ghost / Gordon Mountain Ghost

Episode 80: The coal region of Pennsylvania is full of dark, chilling tales, and none are darker than the story of the Gordon Mountain Ghost. On this episode, we traveled to Broad Mountain to explore the site of a 1925 murder that still haunts the region. A young woman was brutally bludgeoned and burned, and legend says her spirit still roams the mountain, searching for her killer or for justice. The crime captured national attention, with dozens of newspaper articles chronicling the tragedy and reports of her ghost appearing on the mountain. Séances were held, and hundreds of cars lined the mountain road, all hoping for a glimpse of her lost soul. Join us as we dig into this 101-year-old mystery and uncover the eerie history of the Gordon Mountain Ghost.

Sailor's Snug Harbor with Jason Stroming

Episode 79: The Slice of the Paranormal team teamed up with the Odd and Untold Podcasts and Jason Stroming for an exclusive, personal tour of Sailor's Snug Harbor. Jason has investigated this Staten Island landmark many times and even helped produce a documentary about its ghostly lore. Thousands of sailors lived and died here, and with a history of a few murders, it's no wonder a number of spirits still call the site home. We explored the grounds, including the Matrons House, the Governors House, and the surrounding gardens, hoping to catch a glimpse of the helpful sailor ghost known as "Old Salty." Along the way, we took in the beautiful botanical gardens and soaked up the stories that make Sailor's Snug Harbor one of Staten Island's most haunted sites. Join us for this episode as we dive into the chilling lore, share encounters from the grounds, and of course, enjoy some Staten Island pizza. It's a paranormal adventure you won't want to miss.

Inside the House of Oddities in Lancaster County

Episode 78: The Slice of the Paranormal team loves to travel, and when we hit the road we can't resist stopping at places that dive deep into cryptids, UFOs, ghosts, and seriously dark artifacts. In this episode we head to Elizabethtown in Lancaster County to explore the strange and unforgettable House of Oddities and Curious Goods. Owner Jeremiah Crowther has been collecting bizarre artifacts since the 1980s, and his shop is packed with items that blur the line between history, sideshow oddities, and the paranormal. Inside you will find everything from a human skull and a repossessed tattoo to Blackbeard's booger and Martyr Blood balls. The shop also features classic sideshow gaffs from the closed Gettysburg Dime Museum, including Jo Jo the Dog Faced Boy and Edgar the Alligator Man. Turn a corner and you might come face to face with a statue of John Wayne Gacy dressed as Pogo the Clown, or see a preserved sample of Charles Manson's hair. We also talk about another fascinating Lancaster County location that sadly no longer exists. The town of Columbia is famous for a local cryptid known as the Albatwitch, a small Bigfoot like creature said to steal apples from orchards. The legend is so popular that the town hosts the annual Albatwitch Festival, which attracts cryptid hunters and folklore fans from all over. Local paranormal researcher Rick Fisher once operated the National Museum of Mysteries and Research, which displayed his personal collection of artifacts connected to Bigfoot, Mothman, UFO sightings, and the Albatwitch. The museum also held more than 1500 books, posters, and newspaper clippings covering decades of paranormal research. While the museum itself is gone, Rick is currently restoring the historic Columbia Market House Dungeon and offers tours of the site. He is also the author of Ghosts of the River Towns, a must have for anyone exploring the haunted history and strange legends of Lancaster County.

How Haunted Is the Farnsworth House Inn

Episode 77: You can't go to Gettysburg as a ghost hunter and not visit the Farnsworth House Inn, a location known for its 16 resident spirits and one of the most haunted inns in Gettysburg. This is a place where you can stay overnight, book a ghost hunt, enjoy a great meal, or have a drink inside Sweney's Tavern. Book a room with a Boo and request the Sara Black Room, a popular choice for anyone searching for a true haunted hotel experience in Gettysburg. You can also book a paranormal investigation and explore the attic where the Civil War sharpshooter, believed by some to be connected to the death of Jennie Wade, was once stationed. During past investigations, the ghost boy Jeremy has been known to tug on shirts, adding to the long list of reported paranormal activity at the Farnsworth House Inn. If the attic does not deliver, head to the basement, another well known hotspot for ghost activity. The space features a haunted mirror and is set up in a way that feels like a funeral, complete with dim lighting and church pew seating. It creates an atmosphere that stands out even among other haunted places in Gettysburg. We even knocked on the door marked by Lorraine Warren, who painted an exorcism cross on it to keep dark spirits away. At times, there have been reports of something knocking back. Many well known ghost hunters and paranormal investigators have visited this location and support its reputation as one of the most haunted locations in Pennsylvania. If you are planning a Gettysburg ghost tour or searching for the top haunted places in Gettysburg, be sure not to miss the Farnsworth House Inn.

Sometimes it's hard to deduce who are the good guys and who are the bad guys, it boils down to the perspectives of the participants. In Luzurne County Pennsylvania we hit up the sites of the Wyoming Massacre. The area saw over 300 deaths of the American forces and their bodies were left to the elements for months. Who knows what energies seep into the ground and cry out for justice. We visited where all the bodies were buried, as well as the rock 30 men were killed by having their heads bashed in.
