    The Scarecast Files #2: The Dark Side of Disneyland

    The Scarecast Files #2: The Dark Side of Disneyland

    In the magical world of Disneyland, there are stories that often remain hidden behind the enchantment. Join us in this episode of The Scarecast as we peel back the layers of Disneyland history and explore three intriguing and chilling stories.
    First, we take you to the heart of Disneyland, to a small apartment above the Firehouse on Main Street. This was Walt Disney's personal retreat, and even after his passing, his beloved lamp in the apartment's window has remained lit. But what's the eerie legend behind this glowing lamp?
    Then, we shift our focus to Grad Nite, a tradition for high school graduates that has a darker side. In 1966, a young man named Thomas Guy Cleveland embarked on an ill-fated adventure that ended in tragedy on the monorail tracks. His story reveals a side of Disneyland rarely talked about—a side where accidents can turn magical nights into nightmares.
    But that's not all; just a year later in 1967, another tragedy occurred on the People Mover ride, where a teenager lost his life attempting a dangerous stunt. The eerie question arises: What are the odds of two eerily similar fatalities occurring on the same ride?
    Join us for a journey into the unknown, as we uncover the legends, mysteries, and haunting experiences of Disneyland. And don't forget to follow me on Instagram and TikTok @thescarecast for exclusive content, including a unique experience shared by one of our listeners inside the Firehouse below Walt's apartment.

    The Scarecast Files #1: The Disappearance of Morgan Bauer

    The Scarecast Files #1: The Disappearance of Morgan Bauer

    In this episode, we delve into the mysterious disappearance of Morgan Bauer. Born on April 13, 1996, in Aberdeen, South Dakota, Morgan aspired to break free from her rural hometown and create her own identity in a bustling city. Her journey took her from Aberdeen to Atlanta in 2016, where she encountered unexpected challenges, including finding herself cast out by the man she had arranged to stay with, leaving her in a precarious situation. She resorted to working as an exotic dancer and struggled to make ends meet.
    Despite maintaining contact with her friends and family through social media, Morgan abruptly disappeared from their lives on February 26, 2016, leaving no trace. The last Instagram video, capturing her walking with an unidentified man, only deepened the mystery.
    Several weeks later, her mother, Sherri, was informed of Morgan's absence and embarked on a journey to find her daughter.
    *******
    Morgan's family and friends remain hopeful and host "Missing Morgan Monday" events on Facebook every week to meditate, pray, and remember her. Morgan's distinctive tattoos, including a sun/moon design, an anchor, a jellyfish, and a tree of life, serve as potential identifiers if you encounter her.
    Missing Morgan Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/missingmorgan/
    If you have any information on Morgan’s location, no matter how minute the information may be, please report the information immediately to law enforcement in Atlanta, Atlanta Homicide at (404)546-4235, the case number is #160721563

    On a somber afternoon, I ventured into my email inbox to find a message from a woman named Lindsey Brisbine. In her email, Lindsey recounted a series of bone-chilling encounters within what she claimed to be Ohio's most haunted residence. In this eerie house, Lindsey had amassed a multitude of inexplicable experiences, leading her to believe that recounting these tales through her podcast, aptly named "The Chilling Podcast," was the most fitting approach for everyone to hear her experiences in detail.

Prior to delving into our discussion, it's worth noting that Lindsey has been plagued by inexplicable occurrences throughout her life. Yet, it's her accounts from the little white house in Kent, Ohio, where she lived with several roommates, that have truly captivated the imaginations of many. Her podcast, now boasting 13 episodes in its first season, is a testament to the fascination surrounding these experiences. As of late, Lindsey has unveiled a second season, ensuring that these captivating narratives continue to unfold. I wont hold you all too much longer, lets delve into the tales of allegedly the most haunted house in Ohio.
