In this first edition of Local Haunts, we visit two places in our area that you may not have heard about. The first is the (Old) Lake Club in Springfield, IL. In its day, the club was the most popular nightclub outside of Chicago. Mixed in with the usual spirits you'd find behind the bar was the ghost of Rudy, a much loved bartender from the club's hayday. Next, we’ll hop over to Jacksonville and explore the Illinois State Hospital for the Insane. According to several sources, the abandoned hospital is the most haunted location in Jacksonville. The hospital plays a major role in the history of several Illinois women including Lurancy Vennum the Watseka Wonder.

Nothing screams spooky season like a good old-fashioned haunted house. Come along as we uncover the bumps in the night and the ghostly visitors in two genuine haunted houses. First, we visit the Monroe House in Indiana, today more infamously known by its sinister nickname: the Demon House. Then we take a trip to a late 1700s farmhouse in Litchfield County, Connecticut where one resident has kept a diary documenting paranormal activity in the home for the last 50 years. As always, thanks for listening!

Welcome to Spooky Season, Ghosties! We’ll have plenty of surprises this Spooky Season including weekly episodes through Halloween. In this episode, listener Cady joins us to discuss her experiences growing up in the haunted wild west. Cady grew up in the shadow of Tombstone, Arizona in what was once a sleepy little town between the tracks called Vail. Wrap yourself in the covers while Cady recalls a frightening experience with a Ouija board. And freshen up that pumpkin spice because Cady’s middle school had a cemetery on the school grounds! Oh, did we mention the shadow man? Set out the pumpkins, hang the bats, and light a candle or two and get ready for the spookiest time of the year.

The Haunting of Hill House - Book Club Mini

Ope, A Ghost

08/26/24 • 22 min

Send us a text

Hello there! It’s been a while since our last Book Club Minisode. We missed you! Today we read Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House. Jackson’s 1959 novel has twice been made into a movie, once in 1963 and once in 1999. The ’63 version is relatively faithful to the original novel: the ’99 version, not so much. The book was also parodied in part of Scary Movie 2. There’s even a BBC radio adaptation and a play. Most recently, a version of the same title can be found on Netflix, though it strays far from the occurrences of the book. If you haven’t been able to tell, this one is a classic and for good reason.

Episode 37 - Annabelle

Ope, A Ghost

08/05/24 • 72 min

Send us a text

In this episode, we compare the real story of one of the most famous haunted dolls with the second film in the Conjuring universe: Annabelle. In 1970, a young nurse received a second-hand Raggedy Ann doll as a birthday gift from her mother. The woman would use the popular doll as a decorative piece in the apartment she shared with another nurse. It wasn't long before the doll, who the woman named Annabelle, went from cute to all-out terrifying when it began to move on its own around the apartment. By 1971, Ed and Lorraine Warren were called in. The film version of the Annabelle story opens with the Warrens talking to the nurses, but what else did the movie get right, and what did it get wrong? Is the truth stranger than fiction?

Once again, it’s time to pack up the Ope, A Ghost van and hit the road. We hope you have a taste for seafood and Tex-Mex because we’re headed to Galveston, Texas. Our first stop will be the Galveston Railroad Museum—also known as Jonathan’s Train Depot—where one traveler might have lost his head, but not his hat. Next, we’ll swing by the local Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and check in on the ghost children haunting the toy aisle. If we get sleepy, we can always stay at the famous Galvez Hotel and hope to catch a glimpse of Audra, the Lovelorn Lady. Or, we could check-in at The Tremont House hotel and visit with the ghosts of a nun and several children. Did we mention that The Tremont House was built atop a mass grave? Buckle up and enjoy the ride! P.S. Heaven is in charge of the radio so don’t ask. Hope you like Hamilton!

Episode 36 - Is it Cursed?

Ope, A Ghost

Nothing excites the imagination like a good ol’ fashioned curse. Our logical sense tells us they’re nonsense, but even in the face of reason, how many of us still exercise caution? As it turns out, discretion may indeed be the better part of valor, especially when dealing with the cursed objects in this episode. First we’ll visit the Dybbuk box, an antique, portable wine cabinet that brings misfortune to whoever owns it. Second, we’ll look at the curse surrounding the wrecked 1955 Porsche Spyder once owned by Hollywood Golden Age legend James Dean. Do curses really exist? Come along and decide for yourself.

Episode 24 - Abandoned

Ope, A Ghost

02/05/24 • 54 min

Send us a text

Abandoned places can sometimes give off a spooky vibe thanks to empty hallways and large open spaces once filled with activity but are now eerily quiet. Imagine if those same spooky spaces were also haunted. Join us on this episode as we visit two such places. The first is the once abandoned houses that make up Heritage Square, a museum to the architecture of Southern California from 1850-1950. Many of the house at the museum are haunted, each with their own story to tell. The second is the abandoned Cherokee Hills Boy Scout Camp where shadows and a ghost girl wearing a prom dress have been reported. Dim the lights and settle in for another ghostly episode.
