This week, Jen takes us to England for the story of the Pollock Twins—a case that’s often called the best modern example of reincarnation. After two sisters were killed in a car accident, their parents later had twin girls who seemed to remember details of a life they never lived. Creepy coincidence or proof of something bigger?
Meanwhile, Em dives into encephalitis lethargica, the so-called “sleeping sickness” that left thousands ...
In this episode, Em dives into the eerie disappearance of Tremont, Nevada—a town that seemingly vanished without a trace. Was it a cover-up? A mass delusion? Or something stranger?
Meanwhile, Jen breaks down the tools ghost hunters swear by: voice recorders, spirit boxes, EMF meters, and REM pods. What do they actually do—and do they really work?
A town gone missing and the gear that might ...
This week, Jen pulls out the paranormal toolbox and gives us the lowdown on pendulums, dowsing rods, and Ouija boards—what they are, how they (supposedly) work, and all the weird ways they’ve caused ghost hunters to argue with furniture. Spoiler: don’t ask a Ouija board if it’s friendly.
Meanwhile, Em takes us on a wild ride to Southend, England, where a man was allegedly possessed by a d...
In this episode, Em takes us to Kells Irish Pub in Seattle—a cozy spot with strong drinks and even stronger ghost vibes (because what’s a pub without a haunted past?). Then Jen heads to Whispers Estate in Indiana, where the ghosts are chatty, the vibes are weird, and honestly, no one’s sleeping through the night. It’s haunted bars, haunted houses, and our usual dose of bad jokes.

This week, Jen takes us to the misty shores of Loch Ness to hunt down the truth about everyone’s favorite lake monster. Is Nessie real, or just a legend with great PR?
Then Em dives into the chilling disappearance of Cindy Anderson — a young secretary who vanished from her office in broad daylight in 1981. No clues, no witnesses, and way too many creepy theories.
This week, we’re serving up two stories that prove haunted houses are so last season—try haunted furniture and castles instead.
🛏️ Em digs into the Tallman Family Bunk Bed Haunting, where a secondhand bunk bed turned a quiet Wisconsin home into a full-blown nightmare. We’re talking ghostly voices, shadow figures, and a family so freaked out they bolted in the middle of the night. Say goodbye to sleepovers forever.

This week, we uncover the dark history of the Delhi Purple Sapphire — a gem that brought nothing but chaos to its owners — and wander through the haunted grounds of Mount Hope Cemetery. We’ll talk about why stealing sacred artifacts is a terrible idea, the restless spirits still lurking among the graves, and how bad decisions can follow you into the afterlife.

This week, we’re cranking the EMF meters up to 11 and diving headfirst into two of the most notoriously haunted locations on opposite sides of the globe. First stop: Monte Cristo Homestead in New South Wales, Australia – often dubbed the most haunted house Down Under (and no, it’s not because of the spiders). Then, we’re off to the American South to explore The Old Charleston Jail in South Carolina, where the ghosts o...
Welcome to In My Haunted Era, where the ghosts are real, the facts are questionable, and the jokes are downright disrespectful.
This week, Jen takes us deep under Edinburgh to explore the Edinburgh Vaults, a series of underground tunnels where 18th-century folks partied, smuggled, and posbly got murdered.

Hey y'all! This week, Jen takes us to the Fairfield County Infirmary, where the ghosts of a former poorhouse are still lurking, probably judging our life choices. Then, Emily hauls us to the Fort Worth Zoo, because apparently, even ghosts can’t resist cute animals and overpriced snacks. We’ve got shadow figures, phantom zookeepers, and the hard-hitting question: Can ghosts ride the carousel? Tune in for the haunts, stay for the cha...
In this episode, we explore the haunted Sweetwater County Library, where ghosts apparently love literature as much as we do, and the Occidental Hotel, where some guests check in but never leave. We also share our own paranormal experiences, proving that ghosts have zero respect for personal space. Somehow, we end up discussing medieval toilets way more than necessary, because historical plumbing is both horrifying and hilarious. It...
In this episode of In My Haunted Era, we explore the haunted USS Salem, where the ghosts of sailors still roam, and the Unitarian Church of Charleston, South Carolina, where the spirits don’t rest—and don’t care if you do.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
