Left of Skeptic

Happy Spooky Wednesday! We've got a very special guest this week: Left of Skeptic Super Fan Gina! We start the episode with the third annual Kala's seeeester birthday request: haunted campsites. Kala talks about Lake Morena in San Diego, Big Moose Lake in the Adirondacks, Crystal Lake Campground in Los Angeles County, and Cameron Park in Waco. Each recreation area is haunted in different ways, but they all have tragic occurrences in their history that may be the cause of the hauntings. Pick your poison. Do you want the creepy, levitating figure of a man whose disembodied footsteps have been heard all around the property? Or do you want to experience phantom hands tugging at your clothes and hair? Or do you want to witness the misty figure of a devastated woman who was betrayed by an ex-lover? Your choice could determine the direction of your next road trip! And Brittany tells us all about Kasha House of Kaimuki, our first ever Hawaii location! Considered one of the most well known urban legends on the island, the house looks relatively normal, but looks can be deceiving. A Kasha, a man-eating ghost from Japanese folklore, is said to reside inside the home. Other theories behind the haunting include a ghoul who feeds on the dead, and a cat-like demon. All three versions have one thing in common: insatiable hunger for blood and corpses. So, that's pleasant. With such dark subject matter, do you think we've scared Gina away for good? Of course not! She's giving skeptic scale ratings right along with us!

Thank you so much for joining us, Gina! Make sure to check out her recommendation for another great podcast to check out: The Night Owl Podcast out of Austin, TX!

And Happy Birthday Seeeeeeeeeeester Sara! Have the best time camping! Let us know if you see any ghosts!

And thanks to all of you listeners! We love and appreciate you very much!

It's not episode 69... but almost.

This Spooky Wednesday, Brittany starts us off by finishing her two part story about Kilkenny, Ireland. Not only does she complete the tale of Dame Alice Kyteler, but she also talks about multiple other locations in Kilkenny that show it is an extremely haunted town. And with all these spooky haunted tales, Kala still seems to be the most bothered by the idea of the punishment via Catholic mass 3 times a day. And Kala takes us back home to Minnesota where she discusses the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, MN. This beautiful, old theater is said to be haunted by a man named Ben who froze to death while working at the theater. This story has hidden ceilings, strange old bottles, and flying plaster. And they use the word "apport" several times, but they're still not sure they're using that word correctly.

EDIT: Through her various connections, Brittany was able to message Tom Campbell, who was the manager of The Fitzgerald for 27 years. She was told, "It wasn't like no one knew the balcony was up there. People used to go up and drink up there. They just covered it over with an office style drop ceiling. As to Ben, the story goes that he was a stage hand back in the vaudeville days and was a heavy drinker. One night after too many drinks he stumbled back to the theater but it was locked so he crashed in the alley next to the theater, where the atrium is now and froze to death. I might be able to find the story about the note, but it's all pretty bogus stuff."

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! This week we’ve got a roller coaster of feelings for you! First up, Kala talks about Grey Gardens in East Hampton, NY. A 1970s documentary brought this home into the spotlight when Big and Little Edie Beale lived there. Ghosts have roamed the building for decades including a woman who loved gardening on the grounds and an ex-lover who used to access the building ladder-style. And Brittany tells 5 tragic yet beautiful stories of people who tried to save loved ones from beyond the grave. They’re sure to leave you saying “aw” in a sad way and then “aw” in a happy way. And we end the episode with some suspicious UFO activity that’s been happening in the Northland for the last five years that might have you looking out your window at night wondering what is really out there.
