Remnants: A Paranormal Podcast
Join Emily and Kayla as they scream, laugh, and occasionally cry their way through haunted houses, cursed objects, historic mysteries, and ghost stories that may or may not ruin your sleep. It’s part paranormal podcast, part chaotic sleepover with too much caffeine. Whether you’re here for the creepy lore or the unhinged commentary, we’re digging up what remains. New episodes every other Monday, assuming the ghosts let us post.
The Stanley Hotel
Send us Fan Mail
Remnants Paranormal is checking into one of America's most haunted hotels: the legendary Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado!
Inspired by Kayla's recent visit to The Stanley, we're exploring the hotel's fascinating history, the unexplained experiences reported by guests and staff, and the lingering spirits said to roam its halls. From mysterious piano music and phantom footsteps to shadowy figures and moving items, there's no shortage of paranormal activity surrounding this iconic landmark.
We'll also dive into the hotel's connection to Stephen King's The Shining and explore...

Send us Fan Mail
Emily and Kayla return to the bloodiest 47 acres and encounter a range of paranormal activity.
Come along as they revisit the infamous Missouri State Penitentiary, where decades of violence, suffering, and death have left behind more than just history. From unexplained voices and compelling spirit box sessions, this investigation proves that some remnants refuse to be forgotten.
Because at MSP, the past may be locked away…but it isn’t always gone.
The Ghost in the Machine
Send us Fan Mail
This week, we’re tuning into the static. 📻
From eerie Cold War numbers stations like The Buzzer and Swedish Rhapsody, to spirit boxes, EVP recordings, alien signals, and the infamous Wow! Signal, we’re diving into humanity’s strange obsession with hidden messages over the airwaves.
Why does radio static feel so unsettling? Why do ghost hunters rely so heavily on electromagnetic equipment? And why are stories of UFOs so often tied to radios malfunctioning and strange electrical disturbances?
Somewhere between science, psychology, espionage, and the paranormal lies a ve...
Phone Calls From The Dead
Send us Fan Mail
What if the next call you answered…was from someone who’s already dead?
A voicemail from a loved one hours after they passed. A disconnected number suddenly ringing in the middle of the night. Across the world, people have reported chilling phone calls that seem to come from beyond the grave—and some of them are impossible to explain.
In this episode, we dive into the eerie phenomenon of phantom phone calls: the stories, the theories, and the moments that leave even skeptics uneasy. From the haunting case of Cha...
The Curse of Dudleytown
Send us Fan Mail
Dudleytown isn’t just abandoned—it’s forbidden.
Tucked away in the forests of Connecticut, this 18th-century settlement was quickly consumed by tragedy. Illness, insanity, deaths, unexplained disappearances, and terrifying claims of demonic creatures in the woods plague this town.
Were the tragedies caused by a curse placed on the Dudley family centuries before that followed them to the New World? Or was there something dark already waiting in the woods?
Today, Dudleytown is strictly off-limits, protected by locals who don’t take kindly to visitors. But that hasn’...
Sleep Paralysis
Send us Fan Mail
Ever wake up frozen, heart racing, fully convinced something is in the room with you? Love that for us. In this episode, we’re diving into sleep paralysis—that chaotic overlap where your body is still asleep but your brain clocks in early. We’ll break down the actual science (spoiler: your brain basically hits “lock mode” during REM) while also exploring why so many people across cultures report the same shadowy figures, chest pressure, and uninvited nighttime guests. Is it just a dream glitch… or something a little weirder? Plus, we’re unpacking the...
The Garnett House Hotel
Send us Fan Mail
This episode is...weird. Kayla and Emily visit the illustrious and Garnett, KS, a small town with little to do despite its shockingly bloody history. Built in 1858, the historic home is now the permanent residence of an odd cast of characters: a poltergeist, a shadow daddy named The Grinner, a finger sucking spirit, and a mysterious little imp called Ja-Son.
A time was had by all; footsteps were heard, dolls were thrown, balls were smacked (rubber, to clarify).
If you want haunts and laughs, be sure to visit Garnett! Fo...
The Philadelphia Experiment
Send us Fan Mail
It’s October 1943 and the U.S. Navy allegedly attempted an experiment so secret—and so dangerous—that it blurred the line between science and the supernatural.
Known as The Philadelphia Experiment, this classified naval test was said to render a warship invisible, but what happened next was far more disturbing.
In this episode, we unravel the history, alleged eyewitness accounts, and theories behind the Philadelphia Experiment. From advanced cloaking technology and time travel to interdimensional rifts and government cover-ups, we explore why this mystery still grips the imagination decade...
The Disappearance of Elisa Lam
Send us Fan Mail
An elevator camera watches without blinking.
In 2013, Elisa Lam vanished inside the Hotel Cecil. Days later, grainy footage surfaced of her alone in an elevator. She presses buttons that never light. She waits for doors that refuse to close. She steps in and out as if something unseen is sharing the space.
The internet filled the silence with theories. One of them was the Elevator Game, a ritual said to open doors that were never meant to exist. In this episode, we descend into the overlap between urban legend...
Villisca Axe Murder House
Send us Fan Mail
Get AXED. 🪓 But no, for real, there's been a muhrder most foul. Or was, in Villisca, Iowa in 1912. We're sure you've heard the crime, but no could anticipate how haunted the small country home remains to this day. Without a doubt, this is the most astonishing ghost hunt Emily and Kayla have been on to date (a fine way to launch season 4).
Sit back, enjoy, wear a smoking jacket, and a bib (iykyk).
Souvenirs From Sallie - Part 2
Send us Fan Mail
For our Season 3 finale, we’re back at the Sallie House — and this time, it’s all about what happened when the lights went out. 👻
In Part 2, Emily and Kayla share the eerie evidence from their overnight investigation including their experiment with artist Caleb Harman. (Check out Part 1 for more discussion on that!) From compelling Estes Method sessions to unsettling EVPs and walkie talkies that seemed to have a mind of their own, this night left us with more questions than answers… and maybe a few souvenirs we didn’t mean to take home...
Souvenirs From Sallie - Part 1
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode, Emily and Kayla sit down with Kansas City artist Caleb Harman, whose creative process blends sound, white noise, and intuition to tap into artistic flow. Caleb shares how his haunting experience at the infamous Sallie House inspired his installation at the Smalter Gallery — and what it’s like to channel real paranormal encounters into art.
We also dive into the overnight experiment we conducted together inside the Sallie House (👀 part two will be our full debrief!), explore the idea of creating entities through collective thought and energy — also known as...
Dear David
Send us Fan Mail
Ever find yourself haunted by a little kid with a messed up head? Neither have we, but the guy in today's story has! This haunting tale will leave you sleeping with the lights on (if you sleep at all). Just remember, if someone visits you in your sleep never, ever ask them your third question.
Return to McInteer Villa
Send us Fan Mail
Sorry, guys...this is the episode where the show goes down the drain. The ghost gals (trying it out what do you think) hit up McInteer Villa AGAIN. While we do catch some pretty compelling evidence, we spend the majority of our time talking to a haunted toilet - in Latin, no less!
I wish I was kidding...
Houska Castle
Send us Fan Mail
Come take a casual stroll with us through the Czech forest to Houska Castle—aka the literal lid on a pit to Hell. Along the way, we battle microphone sagas from the underworld, ADHD-induced musical numbers, and a surprise betrayal by the Flo app (because obviously this was the day it chose violence). Will we survive the harrowing walk toward the demon pit? Will Emily be lured in by a suspiciously hot centaur lady? Will Kayla ever recover from the audio drama? One thing’s for sure: whatever’s down there heard us coming...
Haunting of the Tallman Bunk Beds
Send us Fan Mail
You know what’s worse than buying used furniture? Buying haunted used furniture.
In 1987, the Tallman family thought they scored a sweet secondhand bunk bed. Instead, they accidentally opened a direct line to the “please immediately move out” department of the paranormal.
We’ve got malfunctioning radios, red-eyed shadow figures, talking fog, and a demonic sleepover that nobody signed up for. Bonus points for a haunted house that was brand new — because who says you need creaky Victorian floorboards to be absolutely screwed?
Is it cursed? Demonic? Poltergeis...
Forests You Probably Shouldn't Visit
Send us Fan Mail
From Romania to Japan to New Jersey ; we’re heading straight into the woods. In this episode, we discuss some of the world’s most haunted forests: Hoia Baciu (a.k.a. “Hayubashu” if you’re us), Aokigahara, and the Pine Barrens.
Questions you didn’t know you needed answers to:
1. What is a pygmy pitch pine? (We asked Google so you don’t have to.)
2. Are there carnivorous plants in the United States? (Yes. We’re not okay.)
3. Why is Captain Kidd haunting New Jer...
Return to Beattie Mansion (Part 2)
Send us Fan Mail
This episode had us gagged (you'll get that joke later, maybe). Join us for the truly WILD conclusion of our investigation of Beattie Mansion centered around the ominous Room 12. After reviewing our evidence, we were left to wonder if we'd been in contact with the home's original owner, or a demon...TBD.
Return to Beattie Mansion (Part 1)
Send us Fan Mail
Join us for our "Redemption Tour" at Beattie Mansion, the location that had us fleeing in the night (literally). In this Part 1, we investigate Mabel's Room where allegedly the spirit of a little girl resides. We had several wild Estes Method sessions in Mabel's room, which makes us unsure if it's the spirit of a little girl or perhaps something darker.
The Pirate Aliens of Arkansas
Send us Fan Mail
Lights, aliens, action! This is part 2 of our Arkansas series...aka, the one where we see a UFO (or a ULO, iykyk). We go into several bits of local folklore and legends, including but not limited to: spook lights, giant blue people, bearded aliens, and hell's half acre. A true smorgasbord! So the main take away here is...Arkansas sure is scary...but fun ;).
The Cult of Tony Alamo

Welcome, welcome to the first installment of our Atrociously Abysmal and Absurd summer trip to Arkansas.

Return to the Sallie House
Send us Fan Mail
Emily and Kayla return to the Sallie House in their final investigation of season two. Our third visit to the Sallie House is definitely the most frightening to date. You will not want to miss our 50 minute conversation with a literal demon via a spirit box (a demon that may or may not have been flirting with Kayla). Leave us a review or we will curse you (please).
Stull Cemetery

Journey with us as we return to Kansas to discuss the infamous Stull Cemetery, known to many as a portal to hell. We discuss the history behind the legend and, per usual, venture down more than our fair share of side tangents.
House of the Dead
Send us Fan Mail
Emily and Kayla investigated a haunted house in the infamous Atchison, Kansas with GEM Paranormal. The night that followed was the wackiest and most wild in our career as ghost hunters (can we say that now?). While simply hilarious at the time, a thorough review of our footage proved that this house, fondly referred to as the House of the Dead, might have been has haunted as its owner claimed.
The Kansas City Butcher
Send us Fan Mail
We veer away from the paranormal in today's episode to discuss a true crime story that's a little to close to home. Robert Berdella terrorized the Hyde Park area in the late 1980s in secret, committing horrors that were straight from a movie. Known as the Kansas City Butcher, Robert Berdella was an active member in his community up until his arrest in 1988. Be advised, this story does contain some disturbing content.
Deal with the Devil
Send us Fan Mail
This episode is about the legend of one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century and master of the Delta Blues, Robert Johnson who supposedly made a deal with the devil at a crossroads for eight years of fame. Was Robert's talent earned from hard work or gifted in exchange for his soul?

Hall of Waters (Part 1)
Send us Fan Mail
Welcome to the most haunted episode of the podcast - literally! The Hall of Waters in Excelsior Springs, Missouri has history that dates back to the early 19th century. The land itself has history that goes far beyond the founding of Excelsior Springs with tales tied to the abundance of naturally flowing mineral springs. The immense popularity of the area as a healing mecca can be tied to the four unique types of mineral water that can be found here as nowhere else in the world boasts such a diverse collection.

Haunted Dolls

Happy spooky season, everyone! We bring you our most haunted episode yet, just in time for Halloween! Since the topic of today's episode is haunted dolls, Kayla and Emily made the very wise decision to investigate two creepy dolls they found at the antique store. You don't want to miss the results of our spirit box session, promise! While the communication from the box itself was scary, we're more than a little confident we caught an EVP outside of the box. Oh, and let's not forget that we might have captured a demon...
Beattie Mansion
Send us Fan Mail
Welcome to our spookiest investigation to date - Beattie Mansion, otherwise known as St. Joseph's House on the Hill. First built in 1854, the now empty mansion has a storied history that may have contributed to the many paranormal sightings reported there today. Much like many who have encountered the building in its new era as a haunted hotspot, Emily and Kayla couldn't make it through a single night. Listen now to hear what scared us out early.
