S1 Ep6: How Will Ghost Adventures Investigate H.H. Holmes's Murder House When It Doesn't Exist?
Haunt Jaunts
10/01/19 • 11 min
But didn't it burn down? How can they investigate something that doesn't exist?
Because it does exist. It may not be "the" infamous murder house --which was Holmes's residence, as well as a hotel known as the "Murder Castle."
But there is another property associated with his killings --the one that helped lead to his eventual arrest even.
It's in Irvington, Indiana, and that's the house Zak and crew will investigate on the series premiere of Ghost Adventures: Serial Killer Spirits.
The current owner believes dark and sinister forces have overtaken the property, leaving her vulnerable to possession.
What kind of activity will the Ghost Adventures Crew find? All shall be revealed when the episode airs on Saturday, October 5, 2019.
Based on the blog post "How Will Ghost Adventures Investigate H.H. Holmes’s Murder House When It Doesn’t Exist?"

Why?
I've wanted to know the answer ever since. Last time I had Josef on as a guest, we briefly touched on the Lily "Host a Ghost" doll that US Ghost Adventures sells, but I needed that mirror question answered.
I got that and so much more, including her origin story and whose soul they believe haunts Lily: the Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory.
The original Lily came to them under very mysterious circumstances, which included a handwritten note and coffin-shaped box. Soon after, they started experiencing unusual (paranormal?) activity around their office.
Josef even shared a personal experience about knocking on a window while he was working in the office one night. Which sounds innocuous enough, but he was in a room on the third floor of the building and the window faced outside with no balconies or ledges around for anyone to knock from...
We also discussed the new book series US Ghost Adventures is launching: America's Most Haunted. Their first book is already out and available in print and e-book.
Once Lily let us, that is. She sort of hijacked the show in the beginning...

What did Dakota, Chelsea, and Tanner have to say when I compared Nopeming to its haunted southern cousin, Waverly Hills Sanatorium? Since they were investigating in the middle of winter, the inside of Nopeming was literally frozen.
Did the cold affect the activity there? Or did it just steal energy from them? What else did they have to say about how the time of year either helped or hindered their investigation?
I also noticed Tanner's curious bedtime behavior. What did he have to say about it being something he learned from watching many horror movies and playing into his overall survival strategy?
Other questions that led to fun revelations included one from Priscilla Bettis, who answered a call for questions to ask the Destination Fear team.
She wanted to know would they rather have something thrown at them or have an unseen entity whisper in their ear? How did they answer that?
I also wondered if they're getting desensitized at all after exploring all these haunted places. Is there any place any of them might pick that when they got there they'd say, "Nope. Nuh uh. Not going in there."? Is there any place they've been that they thought was just "eh" on the scary scale and wasn't as bad as they thought --and vice versa: scarier than they expected?
And did they have any favorite episodes this season?
*Spoiler Alert!* (sort of)
Yes! But none of them shared the same favorite episode/haunted destination.
Dakota said he was partial to Nopeming because that's a haunted place they grew up with. However, the Sheboygan County Asylum, which viewers will see in the season's last episode, was a particularly powerful one. For one, they're the first TV investigators to film there. But for another, Dakota said if there's a season 3 haunted road trip for the Destination Fear cast, he's actually nervous to go back out because of what happened to him in Sheboygan during their sleepover.
Chelsea said her favorite episode was the second one because that's the road trip stop she picked. For that one they head down to Texas and a hospital known for apparitions of nuns.
Tanner's fave episode was also his road trip pick: the Old Montana State Prison. He was intrigued by its amazing history and was excited to get the chance to investigate there.
Also different this season, Dakota wasn't the only one navigating to surprise haunted locations. Chelsea and Tanner each got to pick one too.
However, Chelsea was surprised she was the only one who wanted to go down south in winter.
The boys both stayed north. That made navigating from one to the other even more challenging. Or, as Tanner put it, "They don't have any idea where they're going."
But they have a good time facing their fears once they get there.
They were a really nice bunch to talk with. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking with them.

After stumbling across an article on ViraLuck called "15 Weird Forgotten Holidays We Should Totally Bring Back,” I totally added April 24, St. Mark’s Eve, to the Weird Holidays & Observances page.
St. Mark's Eve doesn't sound very weird or unusual, but what some folks do on it is --or used to do. Not sure it's a thing anymore.
But between the 17th and 19th centuries in some parts of the world it was a thing to sit in a church porch between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. and watch for "future ghosts."
What are future ghosts? The ghosts of people who will die in the coming 12 months.
But there is some other lore associated with St. Mark's Day too. That's what we explore in this episode.
Join us! It's easy. All you have to do is hit play...

One that we partake in in this episode.
"Making Merry: Night of the Living Christmas Decorations,” is a short fiction story I wrote once upon a Christmastime long, long ago. It's not exactly a ghost story, but it does have some horror elements to it, so it does fall into the scary story realm.
And because it's a tale of merriment, mischief, judgment, redemption, and love set during the Christmas season, it's definitely appropriate for the Yule season.
Storyline
Teenagers Kyle and Justin come to regret their decision to get into some spirited mischief by vandalizing and sabotaging all of the Christmas decorations in their neighborhood. Especially when the decorations seek retaliation and retribution --and not even Santa can help them.
Listener Discretion Advised
There aren't a lot of bad words in this story, but there are a few, so it's not appropriate for younger listeners.
Also, Santa Spoiler Alert! (His true identity is discussed.)

S1 Ep1: How Many Frankenstein Castles Are There?
Haunt Jaunts
09/01/19 • 9 min
One of the August 30th days on Haunt Jaunts' Weird Holidays & Observances page is Frankenstein Day. In honor of that, let's take a jaunt to Castle Frankenstein in Germany. (There are other places that call themselves "Frankenstein's Castles, but make no mistake. There is only one that inspired author Mary Shelley's muse to create Frankenstein.)

S1 Ep24: A Chat with Keith Linder about the Bothell Hell House, Ghost Adventures and Life with Poltergeists
Haunt Jaunts
03/01/20 • 73 min
Ghost Adventures fans may know the house that Keith Linder once lived in, the Bothell Hell Hell House, from the "Demons in Seattle" episode. They may even recognize Keith's name from the episode. He was on the show, as he was living in the house at the time the episode was filmed with his then girlfriend, Tina.
Did Ghost Adventures do a thorough investigation of his house, though? According to Keith, no.
Worse, Zak and crew didn't catch any paranormal activity in the five hours they spent investigating the house. This caused GA fans to ridicule Keith and Tina as frauds, fakes and worse.
However, as Keith put it during our chat, "Absence of evidence doesn't mean evidence is absent."
He had other teams who came in and did much more extensive investigations. One team even stayed up to three and a half weeks with Keith in the home.
What did they find? For one thing, an impressive amount of class A EVPs. Over 424.
But that's not all.
In this episode we discuss other findings, Keith's first book about his haunting, as well as his follow up book, which answers three questions his first book did not:
- Why is the home haunted?
- What was the black oily substance on his walls?
- Was Keith followed when he moved out of the home?
One thing is clear after this conversation with Keith, and he put it best: We are not at the top of the spiritual food chain.

But their paracon is unique.
For one thing, it's much more intimate than most. Space is limited. Only so many tickets are sold. They do this purposely to give people a chance to have the best chance of connecting not only with like-minded para peeps, but also with the other side too.
For another, have you ever heard of another conference that does Story Time with Ghost Children?
The conference also offers a lot of what other paracons do, such as:
- Investigations (this year's will include the Buford House, Courtland ghost town, and Wyatt Earp House and Gallery)
- Lectures
- A celebrity panel (including, Willie Aames, Jennifer Runyon and Mr. Haunted Jimmy Petonito)
- A smudging ceremony (will the deer show up again this year?)
The Hulls are not only paranormal investigators, but also psychic mediums and authors. Dwight also possesses the gift of being a pet psychic and animal communicator.
The Hulls came to Court's attention when Rhonda reached out to ask if A Haunting in the Desert could be included in the Paracons & Horror Fests listings. After seeing not only what all the con had to offer, but learning a little about the Hulls themselves, Court wanted to know more. She was delighted when they accepted her invitation to chat.
Hopefully you enjoy listening as much as Court enjoyed getting to know the Hulls and their A Haunting in the Desert conference.
