We're talking history, hauntings, booze, questionable decisions, and as always, plenty of completely unnecessary commentary from us along the way. So, pour yourself something strong, turn the lights down, and come drinking with the dead in one of the most haunted cities in America. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BanteringBansheesCo?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_sold#items https://www.facebook.com/share/19X3kx3miA/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.instagram.com/thebanteringbanshees?igsh=MW5haHh0OTEybTk1ZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://youtube.com/@banteringbanshees?si=LhbUP3TCoct4-nfM https://www.tiktok.com/@banteringbanshees?_t=ZT-8yWVP5qtIbd&_r=1

    The Cackling Banshees: After hours at the Farnsworth

    Send us a message. We would love to hear from you and your spooky stories by emailing at banteringbanshees@gmail.com Bonus Episode Drop!!!! Fair Warning!!!!!!! our Instagram algorithms are deeply concerned for us. The reels get unhinged, the humor gets DARK, and there are definitely moments where you may question what kind of people you're listening to. If dark humor isn't your thing, this episode might not be for you. Ever wonder what the Bantering Banshees sound like when the investigation is over, it's way too late, we're exhausted, and we're sleeping in a haunted room at the Farnsworth House with a ghost named Stan?  Well, Here ya Go! This episode has absolutely NO structure. It's literally us lying around the hotel room, listening to Instagram reels, laughing until we can't breathe, our friends wandering in, and basically just being complete idiots. But here's the weird part. While we were busy cackling, the recorder was also picking up thumping, scraping, and what sounds like footsteps coming from upstairs. People? Old building? Paranormal? We have no f*****g clue. So instead of turning it into something polished, we're giving you the while chaotic behind the scenes experience. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BanteringBansheesCo?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_sold#items https://www.facebook.com/share/19X3kx3miA/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.instagram.com/thebanteringbanshees?igsh=MW5haHh0OTEybTk1ZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://youtube.com/@banteringbanshees?si=LhbUP3TCoct4-nfM https://www.tiktok.com/@banteringbanshees?_t=ZT-8yWVP5qtIbd&_r=1

    Pennhurst Asylum: Part 2 - Some spirits never left

    Send us a message. We would love to hear from you and your spooky stories by emailing at banteringbanshees@gmail.com The history of Pennhurst is heartbreaking, but what was left behind may be even harder to explain. In part 2, we step into the paranormal side of Pennhurst State School & Hospital. From shadow figures and unexplained voices to footsteps in empty hallways, and spirits believed to linger inside its buildings, Pennhurst has earned its reputation as one of the most haunted locations in America.  After everything we talked about in Part 1, we have to ask: are these simply ghost stories... or did decades of suffering leave something behind? https://www.etsy.com/shop/BanteringBansheesCo?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_sold#items https://www.facebook.com/share/19X3kx3miA/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.instagram.com/thebanteringbanshees?igsh=MW5haHh0OTEybTk1ZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://youtube.com/@banteringbanshees?si=LhbUP3TCoct4-nfM https://www.tiktok.com/@banteringbanshees?_t=ZT-8yWVP5qtIbd&_r=1

    Pennhurst Asylum: Part 1 - The people behind the haunting

    Send us a message. We would love to hear from you and your spooky stories by emailing at banteringbanshees@gmail.com Pennhurst is one of those places everyone knows for the hauntings... but before the ghost stories, there were real people here. In Part 1, we dive into the history behind its walls, and this one is heavy.  The overcrowding. The neglect. The abuse. The people who were sent there and, in so many cases, were forgotten. This episode is sad. It's uncomfortable. And we think it's an important part of the story to tell. Before we talk about what may still haunt Pennhurst... we need to talk about the people who lived there. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BanteringBansheesCo?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_sold#items https://www.facebook.com/share/19X3kx3miA/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.instagram.com/thebanteringbanshees?igsh=MW5haHh0OTEybTk1ZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://youtube.com/@banteringbanshees?si=LhbUP3TCoct4-nfM https://www.tiktok.com/@banteringbanshees?_t=ZT-8yWVP5qtIbd&_r=1

    Send us a message. We would love to hear from you and your spooky stories by emailing at banteringbanshees@gmail.com For centuries, sailors and coastal communities around the world have told stories of strange, human-like creatures beneath the waves. But were mermaids simply legends born from long voyages and overactive imaginations, or were people actually seeing something they couldn't explain? This week, Jill dives into the history and darker folklore of mermaids, real reported sightings, and the stories that have kept these mysterious creatures alive for generations.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/BanteringBansheesCo?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_sold#items https://www.facebook.com/share/19X3kx3miA/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.instagram.com/thebanteringbanshees?igsh=MW5haHh0OTEybTk1ZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://youtube.com/@banteringbanshees?si=LhbUP3TCoct4-nfM https://www.tiktok.com/@banteringbanshees?_t=ZT-8yWVP5qtIbd&_r=1
