Ope, A Ghost

In our final Spooky Season Paranormal Rewatch, we sit down with Cousin-of-the-Pod Josh who is both a professional skeptic and 40% owner of Heaven’s soul as we watch the 2008 S2 E4 episode of Monster Quest titled “Ohio Grassman.” We’ll examine the evidence from the show, make a few jokes, and discuss Ohio’s regional Bigfoot. What will we decide about the Grassman? There’s only one way to find out, so sit back and have a listen!

The spooky never stops during spooky season, and what goes better with spooky season than a good ol’ fashioned haunted house? On this haunted opesode, we’ll visit an old Victorian home in Canada where the spirit of a WWI soldier bakes in the kitchen, and a family from the past roam the halls, run up and down the stairs, and visit bedsides in the night to watch you sleep or to tickle your nose. Then we’re back across the border to the House of Death in Greenwich Village. This brownstone was briefly the home of Mark Twain, but it...

In this Spooky Season rewatch episode, we’ll check in with the original Ghost Hunters as they capture the holy grail of paranormal evidence at the haunted Union County Courthouse in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The episode is hailed by many GH fans as being one of the best catches of paranormal activity in the series. The second part of the episode takes the GH gang to a family home in Hopkinton, New Hampshire where the homeowner claims that young victims of a tuberculosis outbreak still roam the house.

It’s time for a spooky season road trip! We’re headed to Ancient City, or as it’s more commonly known, St. Augustine, Florida. Our first stop will be the Ancient City Inn where a mysterious grey figure lurks and loud thuds fill the eerie silence of the night. Next, we’ll visit the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, home to the ghosts of three girls who lost their life in a tragic accident. No trip to St. Augustine would be complete without a stop at the Old Jail where a mysterious shadow figure lurks in the shadows...

Welcome to another Film vs. Fact episode where we look at the true paranormal story and compare it with the film version. For this one, we’ll tackle one of the most famous horror films of the 1970s: The Exorcist. William Blatty’s 1971 novel of the same name was a huge success and the 1973 film would become the highest grossing R-rated film for almost 30 years until it was finally surpassed by The Matrix Reloaded in 2003. The film’s popularity is undeniable, but what about the story itself? Of course it was based on a true story, that’s why we’re he...

Welcome to another Paranormal Rewatch. This time, we’ll examine a 2020 Ghost Hunters episode starring Grant Wilson as he and the gang investigate the very haunted town of Clifton, Arizona in S2 E1 “Terror Town Part 1.” The mining town was once known as one of the most violent places in the Old West. Maybe that’s why such a small town has four cemeteries. Every square inch of this town is haunted from the Clifton Jail to the Clifton Hotel. Even the streets have their share of apparitions. This is gonna be a wild one, especially when we get to part...

Welcome to the first full episode of Spooky Season! In this installment, we’re going back to school: it is September, after all. We’ll visit two haunted schools beginning with Chatham University in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The Chatham Cougars excel in academics, sports, and ghosts. You heard that right. From the sounds of babies crying in the night to visitations from the Blue Lady, there’s more to this campus than its strong health sciences programs. Next, we’ll visit Brodhead, Wisconsin and check in on the old Broadhead school that has found new life as Brodhead Manor. The manor sp...

It’s Spooky Season! To kick it off, we’re starting with a Paranormal Rewatch of Buzzfeed Unsolved: The Haunted Morris-Jumel Mansion. We’ll dive into Ryan and Shane investigate the oldest house in Manhattan. We’ll discover the incomparable Eliza Jumel, a woman who knew what she wanted, and more often than not, got it. Will Aaron Burr’s ghost make an appearance? Will Shane kiss a clock? Then, we’ll take a brief look at the Holzer Files episode that also visited the mansion. Be sure to join us all spooky season for mini-episodes like this one between the...

Welcome to another Unrelated Ghosts episode where we dive into two locations that have nothing in common with one another. Nothing except that they’re both haunted, of course. First, we’ll visit the fascinating story of Eastern Airlines Flight 401. The fatal flight caused a global transformation in airline safety, but the thing people remember the most is the ghosts that people began to see after the airline recycled some of the parts from the crash and used them in other planes in the fleet. The next stop on our unrelated haunts tour will take us to Hales Bar Dam...

It’s once again time to pack the Ope, A Ghost Van, for a haunted road trip—but this time, we’re going to need a boat, because we’re crossing the Atlantic to explore the haunted city of Manchester, England. A huge thank-you to our Manc friend Zoe for the invitation! We’ve traveled to some seriously haunted locations over the years, but Manchester ranks near the very top of our list of the most haunted cities we’ve ever visited.

We’ll kick off our tour deep beneath the city, exploring Manchester’s mysterious underground tunnels where th...

Lighthouses have been around for more than 2200 years, lighting the way for ships and warning of shallow waters. For most of that time, lighthouses required a human operator: someone to manage the light. The light keeper was a dedicated person, often serving the light for a decade or more. With that kind of devotion, is it any wonder many of them are haunted? In this episode, we visit six such lighthouses. In Michigan we’ll visit one that’s home to a keeper known to enjoy cheap cigars and another where a child’s barefoot apparition wanders. We’ll drop in...

The autumn of 1973 saw a wave of UFO sightings across the country, but especially in the south. While many of those sightings were mere lights in the sky, some were much more. One in particular stands out among the rest. On a warm October evening in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing on the Pascagoula River when they were interrupted by a strange light. At first, they thought the police had come to chase them off the run-down property. What followed would come to be known as the Pascagoula Incident and stands as one of the...

In this wild episode, Heaven surprises Jonathan with a special guest: our friend Corey from the Good Chat with CW podcast. We’ve been on Corey’s podcast a few times, so it’s way past due that Corey come on Ope, A Ghost and tell us about his experiences at some of New England’s most famous haunted locations. Stay tuned for Paranormal News, and Heaven takes us on a visit to the Bull’s Head Inn in Cobleskill, New York where poltergeist activity abounds. Some say it’s the ghost of Mrs. Grace Steacy who was a staunch teet...

The Midwest hides its darkness well — tucked between cornfields, covered bridges, and quiet main streets. But if you know where to look, the past refuses to stay buried. In this week's episode, we venture deep into the heart of America to investigate two locations where history and horror walk hand in hand.

Our first stop is Billie Creek Village, a living history museum just outside Rockville, Indiana — home to over 30 historic buildings, three covered bridges, and more than a century's worth of untold stories. By day, it's a charming step back into 19th-century rural life. But when the...

Do you hear that? That slow, rhythmic creak — is it a wheelchair finding its way down an empty corridor, or a gurney that’s been still for decades? Tonight, we're walking into two abandoned hospitals where the past refuses to stay quiet. First, we visit Aradale Lunatic Asylum in Victoria, Australia, where the case of one patient was so extraordinary that the state passed legislation specifically to confine him to its grounds. It seems even death couldn't change that. Then we cross the Pacific and the country to Pennhurst State School and Hospital in Pennsylvania — once called The Shame of Pen...

Once again, it’s time to pack up the Ope, A Ghost van and set out on another haunted road trip. This time, we’re heading to Atlanta, Georgia—but some roads are better left untraveled. Our stops in the ATL begin at the site of the deadliest hotel fire in American history where some victims remain, even if history has forgotten. We’ll wander through a park that may not be officially haunted, but it will definitely creep you out. Next, we’ll make our way to a historic mansion on Peachtree Street, where former residents—long since deceased—are...

Some things go together so well they've come to define the concept of togetherness Peanut butter and jelly or Bonnie and Clyde come to mind, but this isn’t one of those times. In this episode, we explore two completely unrelated locations with only one thing in common: they're both haunted. First, we travel to St. Paul, Minnesota, where the elegant Forepaugh's Restaurant plays host to the spirit of Joseph Forepaugh himself, still wandering the dining room in formal attire. New brides, consider this your warning: keep an eye out for the ghost of Molly. We'll also stop at th...

It’s our 3 Year Podiversary! To celebrate, we’re bringing you a Film vs. Fact episode where we examine the true story behind a haunting and compare it to the “based on a true story” film adaptation. In this episode, we again wade into the Conjuring Universe to examine The Conjuring 2. We’ll explore the film’s treatment of the famous Enfield poltergeist case and determine how much reality made it into the film. As it turns out, the answer is more than you think.

Welcome to another classic haunted house story. In this episode, we recount the experience of Cindy Sarro and her home in Caseyville, Illinois, where a dark presence began to assert itself, driving her from the house in just two months. Then we travel to south-central Indiana and the historic Whispers Estate. There’s a lot of legend surrounding the former doctor’s office and home of Dr. John Gibbons and his family. Visitors report unexplained footsteps, physical scratches, and a looming shadow figure known simply as Big Black. Listen closely—some houses don’t stay quiet.

Some say first responders have seen everything—but did you ever imagine that “everything” might include the paranormal? In this episode, we delve into the eerie encounters of paramedics and police who have faced more than emergencies in the line of duty. Hear the spine-tingling account of a rookie paramedic haunted by ghostly children, and discover what happens when the dead themselves dial 911. Relive the unnerving moment when seasoned officers come face-to-face with an Ontario poltergeist and learn about an entire town left stunned as a UFO hovered overhead for more than an hour. These unsettling stories—and more—await you...

Welcome to Part 2 of our Film vs. Fact episode for The Conjuring: Last Rites. This time we’ll examine the real story behind the film, weighing the film’s most unsettling moments against eyewitness accounts and the Warrens’ own claims. What really happened at the Chase Street duplex in 1986—and what details were softened, altered, or left out entirely? For one, the alleged haunting occurred longer than the film suggests. What else did the film get wrong?

Welcome to another Film vs. Fact episode where we examine the true story behind a reported haunting and compare it to the “based on a true story” film adaptation. In this episode, we review the latest entry from the Ed and Lorraine Warren Conjuring Universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites, weighing the film’s most unsettling moments against eyewitness accounts and the Warrens’ own claims. What really happened at the Chase Street duplex in 1986—and what details were softened, altered, or left out entirely? For one, the alleged haunting occurred longer than the film suggests.

In this episode, we ride along with the Ghost Hunters crew as they investigate two locations. First, we’ll explore the Christmas Farm Inn in Jackson, New Hampshire where visitors hear ghostly footsteps and see the apparition of a deceased owner. Next, Jason and Grant investigate the historic Old Stone Fort in Schoharie, NY where ghosts are seen both inside and out. This one promised to be fun, so join us for this classic Ghost Hunters rewatch.

In this episode, we step inside the shadows of some of the most haunted churches where faith endures, but so do the spirits who refuse to let go. We begin in rural Indiana, at a small chapel where visitors report being pursued by the dark silhouette of a man who appears only long enough to send them fleeing into the night. From there, we travel to a historic Chicago parish shaken by sightings of shrouded monks who drift through between pews, terrifying more than a dozen parishioners in a single weekend. Our journey continues north to Montreal’s famed or...

In this episode, we step into locations where the echoes of childhood linger long after the children themselves have vanished. These aren’t stories of monsters or malevolent spirits; they’re the stories of children who have stayed behind in places like a century-old dance hall where tiny desperate hands might tug at your clothing while you sip your drink. There’s a Gettysburg orphanage whose basement echoes with the sobs of children. We’ll visit an abandoned house that seems determined to remember its former occupant. And join us at a once-joyful West Coast amusement park where the laughter...

In this episode, we follow the trail of the Grey Lady across time and continent, piecing together accounts, archival whispers, and the strange common thread that binds her to the living. We find her in libraries, castles, and hotels. Her presence drifts across centuries and oceans, from a palace in Britain to the echoing corridors of an American high school. Witnesses speak of a woman in pale mourning silk, her features blurred as if the air itself resists remembering her. But who was she? A grieving mother, a betrayed lover, or something else — a pattern repeating itself wherever sorrow ta...

In this special Halloween Paranormal Rewatch, we’re summoning our friends Lauren and Gina from The Witch’s Familiar Paranormal Research to join us for a chilling deep dive into one of Indiana’s most haunted locations—the Randolph County Infirmary. Together, we’ll wander its shadowed corridors and echoing halls as we revisit the terror captured in Destination Fear (Season 2, Episode 9) and Kindred Spirits (Season 4, Episode 8). But this time, we won’t just be watching the hauntings unfold . . . we’ll be sharing our own bone-chilling experiences within those same walls. Get ready for whispers in the dark, phantom footsteps, and...

Welcome to our third episode where we take an in-depth look at a location with far too much history to cover in a regular episode. This week, we’re unlocking the iron gates of one of America’s most infamous prisons: the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield. Once home to thousands of inmates (and a few Hollywood cameras — hello, The Shawshank Redemption) this looming Gothic fortress has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the country. Join us as we dig into its dark history from its origins as a well-meaning reformatory to the violence, traged...

In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most captivating investigations in Ghost Nation history — the chilling exploration of Seaview Terrace, the infamous Rhode Island mansion known for its haunting beauty and ghostly reputation. Made famous as the exterior for the cult classic soap Dark Shadows, Seaview Terrace is more than just a Hollywood backdrop: it’s a hotbed of paranormal activity. Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, and Dave Tango are joined by Amy Bruni and Adam Berry to investigate reports of disembodied voices, shadowy apparitions, and unexplained footsteps echoing through the grand halls of this historic estate...

With baseball season fading into the shadows, we’re shifting from home runs to haunted halls as we make our way to Brew City. Once again, we’re packin’ up the Ope, A Ghost van and headed off on another virtual road trip.  This time, we’re creeping into the eerie elegance of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Our spooktacular itinerary is packed with ghostly grandeur — from the stately (and maybe not-so-empty) mansions of beer barons like Captain Pabst, to a lighthouse, to a college campus that might just have more students on the other side. We’re even making a late-night stop at The R...

In this chilling rewatch episode, we dive deep into The Haunting Of Season 5, Episode 2 — where acclaimed actor Eric Roberts revisits the chilling paranormal experiences that once left him questioning reality. Join us as we break down every eerie moment, from Eric’s backstory to the revelations uncovered by psychic medium Kim Russo. Why has Eric seen spirits since his car accident 45 yrs ago? Who are the spirits that visited him in the hospital? Who is the lady that haunts his house? Join us to learn the answers to these questions and so much more.

What better way to celebrate spooky season than with two real haunted houses as told by those who lived it. First, we visit Northwest Chicago where in 1970, Ed and Marsha Becker bought a two-flat apartment to start their family. What they found instead was decades of tragedy, strange chills, objects moving on their own, and an unseen presence that grew stronger with every month they stayed. From floating kitchen appliances to a failed exorcism captured on film, this true story — later known as “The Haunting in Wicker Park” — remains one of America’s most chilling hauntings. Then, we step inside 21...

Tucked away on a quiet hill in Staten Island stands the Kreischer Mansion—a Gothic relic with a past so grim it refuses to stay buried. In this episode, we revisit Portals to Hell and their unnerving investigation of this historic home where the line between residual memory and intelligent haunting blurs uncomfortably thin. As Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman peel back the layers of the mansion’s sordid history—arson, mob murders, and lingering whispers in the walls—we break down the most chilling moments and debate what exactly is clinging to the house after all these years. Turn dow...

In this bone-chilling episode, we unravel two spine-tingling poltergeist hauntings, each more unsettling than the last. First, we travel to the eerie Welsh hills of 1989, where a young family’s dream home quickly becomes a waking nightmare. Heol Fanog, or The Witch Farm, is a place where ancient forces awaken from the walls, pulling a once-happy family into a vortex of terror. What ancient evil lies buried beneath this cursed land?

Next, we venture into a more modern mystery that begins with the purchase of an old frame from a charity shop in 2021. The seemingly innocent item hi...

In this rewatch episode, we dive back into The Holzer Files and their chilling investigation of Franklin Castle—Cleveland’s most notoriously haunted mansion. We revisit the shadowy corridors and dark family secrets that made this episode a standout. Did Hans Holzer’s original files uncover the truth behind the Tiedemann family tragedies? Did Dave Schrader and the team create more questions than answers? We’re unpacking the hauntings and the history as we try to determine which elements hold historical weight and which raise new questions. Was Franklin Castle truly a house of horrors or has legend overtaken fact? Jo...

Step into the darkened halls of two of America’s most infamous haunted hospitals. First, we explore the dim hallways of the sprawling Sheboygan County Asylum in Wisconsin where shadowy figures roam the tunnels and the ghosts of nurses greet you by humming a little tune. Then we travel south to Yorktown, Texas, where the abandoned Yorktown Memorial Hospital looms—its corridors echoing with whispers of patients and nuns long gone. From eerie apparitions to chilling EVP recordings, this episode takes you deep into the unsettling legacy of these institutions where healing was once promised, but hauntings remain.

This week, we’re diving into the wonderfully bizarre world of cryptids where folklore meets the downright unbelievable. First, we travel to the windswept Isle of Man in the 1930s, where a talking mongoose named Gef supposedly made a family’s farmhouse his home, leaving behind one of the strangest legends in paranormal history. Was Gef a ghost, a hoax, or a creature from somewhere beyond the ordinary? Then we head to the murky backroads of Bishopville, South Carolina, to meet the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp—a reptilian beast that terrorized locals and left claw marks on cars i...

Pack your ghost-hunting gear and your frontier sass because this episode is headin’ west in search of haunted ghost towns. First stop: Bannack, Montana, a gold rush town frozen in time and reportedly still hosting guests at the famously haunted Meade Hotel. We’ll dive into the eerie tale of Dorothy Dunn, the young girl whose tragic fate may have tethered her spirit to the old town . . . when she isn’t following you home. Then we hitch a spectral ride to Deadwood, South Dakota, where Wild Bill Hickok was shot holding the “Dead Man’s Hand”—and may not have folded ju...

Welcome to our second episode where we take an in-depth look at a location with far too much history to cover in a regular episode. This time, we journey deep into the history and ghosts of the Waverly Hills Sanatorium, one of America’s most famously haunted locations. Located in Louisville, Kentucky, Waverly Hills was a state-of-the-art tuberculosis hospital that opened in 1910 as a humble, two-story stucco building that served 40 people. By 1926, the rise in tuberculosis cases, and a 2,600-person waiting list, necessitated the 180,000 square foot monolithic structure we know today. By the 1950s, new medicines and treatments made th...
