Spooky Side Quests 01 Our First Paracon

Welcome to the very first episode of Spooky Side Quests, a new mini-series from Girls Just Wanna Get Haunted! These shorter, more conversational episodes take us off the beaten path and into the weird, spooky, and wonderfully strange places we discover along the way. From paranormal events to quirky museums, oddball shops, and roadside curiosities, Spooky Side Quests are all about the adventures that don't quite fit into our regular episodes. For our first Side Quest, we traveled to DeKalb, Illinois to attend our very first paranormal convention: Obscura Paracon. Held inside the castle-like Altgeld Hall at Northern Illinois University, the convention brought together paranormal investigators, psychics, vendors, authors, and enthusiasts for a weekend filled with workshops, shopping, and all things strange and unexplained. Join us as we share our favorite moments, and our first experience stepping into the world of paranormal conventions. Obscura Paracon - Illuminating the Unseen. Celebrating the Unknown.

EP09 The Egyptian Theatre: Ghosts, Growls, and Good Boys

Join us as we step inside the historic Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb, Illinois for a sold-out paranormal investigation. From the mysterious Lady in Green roaming the balcony to a heartbreaking spirit said to linger in the women's restroom, this investigation took us through dark dressing rooms, endless mirrors, unexplained knocking, and some surprisingly personal ghostly conversations. Did we make contact with a former performer named Gloria? Why did multiple investigators feel watched from the exact same corner of the theater? And how did Jasmine end up blindfolded on stage telling a ghost hunter he was a "good boy" during an Estes Method session? Grab your favorite spooky snack and join us as we explore one of Illinois' most beautiful haunted theaters, where the history is rich, the spirits are active, and apparently the bathroom ghost has very strong opinions about who she's willing to talk to.

EP08 Lizzie Bordon and the Spice Girls

In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were murdered inside their Fall River home, and all eyes turned to their daughter, Lizzie. The evidence was strange, the rumors were relentless, and the trial became one of the most talked-about cases of its time. Lizzie was acquitted, but she spent the rest of her life carrying a reputation she could never outrun. Today, the Borden house is a museum and bed-and-breakfast, and Lacey toured it herself to bring firsthand details of the rooms where the story unfolded. In this episode, we look at the murders, the trial, and the life Lizzie tried to rebuild afterward, exploring why this case still holds such a grip on true-crime fans more than a century later.

EP07: Shakers Cigar Bar and its blonde loving ghost

Step inside Shaker's Cigar Bar, one of Milwaukee’s most talked-about haunted locations. Built in the late 1800s, the building has lived many lives, from a Schlitz Brewing cooperage to a Prohibition-era speakeasy tied to the Capone family, and a brothel with a long list of dark stories. In this episode, I break down its history and share my experience visiting during a ghost tour on March 15th, 2025, where I encountered unexplained activity from start to finish. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this is one of those places that makes you pause and think twice. Research Rabbit Holes We Fell down...

EP06 Detroit God House and the Creation of the Famale

In this episode, we trace the strange and unsettling rise of “Prince” Michael Keyfor Mills—a self-proclaimed prophet who promised the end of the world and gathered followers in Detroit for the coming apocalypse. But to understand Mills, we have to go back to the origins of the movement itself, through a long line of failed messiahs, fractured sects, and dangerous beliefs. What unfolds is a story of faith, control, and manipulation that spirals into scandal, abuse, and a courtroom reckoning. When the prophecy fails, what’s left behind is something far darker than just a broken promise. RESEARCH RABBIT HOLES WE FELL DOWN...

EP05 The House of David Commune and other C Words

Welcome to Girls Just Wanna Get Haunted, and thank you for following along with us. This week, we’re heading to Benton Harbor, Michigan, to explore the strange and tangled story of the House of David. What started as a quiet religious commune in the early 1900s grew into a thriving, tightly controlled community with its own beliefs, industries, and controversies. The group’s founders, Benjamin and Mary Purnell, claimed a prophetic legacy that drew in hundreds of devoted followers. But behind the polished image were rumors, accusations, and a public scandal that shook the entire colony and split it into factions that still linger in small traces today. In this episode, we dig into the origins, the rise, the unraveling, and the lasting impact of one of Michigan’s most unusual and haunting communities. Join us as we open the gates to the House of David and step inside its complicated past. RESEARCH RABBIT HOLES WE FELL DOWN...

EP04 Salem Massachusetts and the witch and shark slander

In this episode, Lacey takes a slightly unhinged stroll through the Salem witch trials, where a handful of bored Puritan teens and some truly chaotic adults managed to derail an entire town. She breaks down the panic, the politics, and the pure “what were they thinking?” energy that fueled one of history’s bleakest crowd-control failures. After that, she shifts gears and heads to modern-day Salem for a cozy solo getaway filled with good food, historic stops, and the kind of peaceful wandering that pairs well with a side of morbid curiosity. It’s dark history with a wink, plus a soft, comfy look at Salem today. Research Rabbit holes we fell down...

EP03 Lake Michigan Mothman and the Membranous Members

Something strange has been flying over the shores of Lake Michigan. Red eyes. Massive wings. And far too many witnesses to ignore. In this episode, we dive into the sightings of the Lake Michigan Mothman, the eerie connection to the original Mothman of Point Pleasant, and the question that keeps locals up at night… what exactly is lurking along the lake?

EP02 Eloise Asylum: Consent is a thing ghosts!

Eloise isn’t just an abandoned asylum. It’s 902 acres of “maybe we shouldn’t have come here.” In Episode 02, we’re diving into the history, the hauntings, and the spirits that apparently never got the discharge paperwork. From the Woman in White whispering for help, to reports of children seen and heard in empty corridors, to shadow figures lingering in spaces where real trauma once unfolded… Eloise might be one of Michigan’s most unsettling locations. We’re talking underground tunnels, 10,000 former patients, questionable medical practices, and a cemetery filled with numbered graves. Casual. So grab your EMF reader, keep an eye on the stairwells, and maybe don’t listen alone in a dark hallway. Just saying. Welcome back to Eloise. It’s still not empty.

EP01 The Childhood Paranormal Trauma

Welcome to Girls Just Wanna Get Haunted In this very first episode, we're getting personal... and a little haunted. We're sharing our childhood paranormal "trauma" aka the moments that made us scared of the dark, closets, mirrors, and absolutely everything after 3:00am. This episode is part get-to-know-us, part group therapy, and part "no one believed us be we know what we saw." From creepy encounters to lifelong fears we still pretend don't exist, this is the origin story of how we became two adults who talk about ghosts for fun. Laugh with us, cringe with us, and maybe sleep with the lights on tonight. Just in case. Thank you for listening Thank you so much for pressing play and hanging out with us for Episode 01. Seriously... whether you found us by accident or you've been waiting for this, we're glad you're here. This podcast is just getting started, and we can't wait to share the chills, theories, and late-night "did you hear that?" moments with you. If you like what you hear, follow along, leave a review, and tell a fellow spooky soul. Stay safe... stay spooky... and whatever you do... don't look behind you!
