The Legend of the Milton Schoolhouse Big Seance: My Paranormal World

Are trapped ghosts inside the Milton Schoolhouse? Are there mysterious spirits, unrelated to the legend, that call the Milton home? Or perhaps there has never been a ghostly presence in the building. Join me as we chat with Milton co-owner, Meredith, as well as previous guest, Ginger Collins-Justus. Paranormal or not, you MUST visit the Milton and see its current reincarnation!

In this episode:
Episode Preview :00 Intro 1:51 Take a ride with me! We’re headed to Alton, Illinois for Maeva’s Coffee Shop at the Milton Schoolhouse! 2:24 The legend and history of the Milton Schoolhouse, which was featured on Syfy’s Ghost Hunters in 2010. 4:02 Troy Taylor’s article from AltonHauntings.com Ginger Collins-Justus and I sit down at Maeva’s with co-owner of the Milton Schoolhouse, Meredith. She introduces us to the Milton and gives a brief timeline of events and renovation since purchasing the building in 2009. 7:52 Patrick describes the Milton Schoolhouse and what you’ll find when you walk in. 9:49 I begin asking Meredith about the legend. And she gives us a cool behind the scenes look at Jason and Grant’s visit with T.A.P.S. 10:26 Is there any truth to the legend? 13:40 So what about the reports of hauntings? Is it haunted? And who is haunting it? And what about the evidence from the Ghost Hunters episode? 14:53 Riverbend Paranormal   Being a respectful landlord to the presence of both the physical and spiritual. (Not getting the answer I apparently was looking for, I kept pestering Meredith about activity in the building.) 15:56 I missed the cooler story. What’s the latest news from the Milton? 16:37 Templar Brewing Co is moving into the Milton. What does Ginger think? As an intuitive medium, does she sense a paranormal presence in the building? 17:28 Ginger is also the owner of Missouri History and Hauntings. Does she think there’s any truth to the Milton legend? 21:02 Schools hold lots of energy from decades of students coming and going, memories, experiences, and history. Is it that residual energy that people claim to feel and experience here?  22:51 Getting a brief tour of the building, meeting Buford, and stumbling into THE boiler room! 25:06 Leaving Maeva’s and feeling silly about focusing on the legend and the paranormal, when there is so much more to the Milton. And why is it that I sleep like a baby in “the most haunted” places? 26:44 If you have stories or have had paranormal experiences from the Milton Schoolhouse, please contact me! I’d love to hear about your experiences. 28:36 Another audio issue of Tim Prasil’s Spectral Edition! (Possessed Girl - Club House Ghost) 28:53 Catching up with Ginger Collins-Justus and talking about some upcoming events she’s planning. Be sure to listen to Ginger’s previous appearance on episode 23 of the podcast. 32:50 The Milton is SO much more than a place for paranerds to fantasize about! It’s a super cool community and a place for inspiration. Please visit the website for the Milton Schoolhouse! Visit the “news” link in the menu for a beautiful blog written by Meredith. I read nearly every blog entry. It chronicles the journey they’re taking at the Milton. Many of you might appreciate the post titled Paranormal Preservationists. 36:13 Look forward to an upcoming Milton Schoolhouse episode from our friends over at the History Goes Bump podcast! 38:29 Hey Meredith, can you repeat that? 39:03 Outro 40:06 Paranerdal Hashtag 41:41  
Thank you, Meredith and Ginger!!
