We jump into the famous case of the haunting in Connecticut.
In 1986 Carmen and Al Snedeker moved to the small town of Southington, Connecticut, with the purpose of being closer to the hospital at which their oldest son was being treated for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Having fallen on hard financial times, the family jumped at the chance to rent what appeared to be the perfect house. It was large enough for their family, which included three children and a cousin, and the rent was in their affordable price range. It was while they were moving in that Al made a startling discovery: In the basement was a peculiar room that was complete with embalming tables and tools. The house, it turned out, used to be a funeral home.

Alcatraz Island, also known by the name of The Rock, rocky island in San Francisco Bay, California, U.S. The island occupies an area of 22 acres (9 hectares) and is located 1.5 miles (2 km) offshore.
From 1934 to 1963 it served as a federal prison for some of the most dangerous civilian prisoners. Among its famous prisoners were Al Capone, George (“Machine Gun”) Kelly, and Robert Stroud, the “Birdman of Alcatraz".
Although the Alcatraz penitentiary was able to house 450 convicts in cells that measured about 10 by 4.5 feet (3 by 1.5 metres), no more than 250 prisoners ever occupied the island at one time. Escape attempts were rare, but a few inmates did escape from the island; whether they survived the currents of the bay is unknown.
Anne and Renata escape over the water to Alcatraz to look into the ghost stories that are now legendary and give their opinion on whether this site is truly haunted.

In 1882, the New York Times declared that Tombstone’s Bird Cage Theatre was the “roughest, bawdiest, and most wicked night spot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast.”
Twenty-six deaths and one hundred and forty bullet holes later, this piece of American Wild West history seems to be packed with poltergeists, gunslingers, gamblers, prostitutes and ghostly poker players.
So, who’s haunting this spooky saloon?
One of the most infamous murders involves the “Painted Lady” Margarita, whose heart was removed from her chest with a double-edged stiletto.
Have we got your attention?
You will love this case as we tell you all about The Bird Cage Theatre Tombstone, Arizona.

When you travel to Queensland's remote western region, you will experience some of the best parts of the Australian Outback.
It never ceases to amaze me just how lonely and remote it is out there. There are endless straight roads, red dust, blue sky, and wild landscapes.
Isn't this exactly what you expect from the Outback? It’s a part of Australia that allows you to feel its vastness and remoteness!
Each of the small towns you encounter on your travels through this part of this great land has its own character, history and little secrets.
Sometimes, these secrets can get just a little weird and spooky.
Anne and Renata explore the story behind the Min Min Lights - do they have an origin or have they come from the Earth?
Are they alien?
What IS going on?

In 1633 the convent of the Ursuline NUNS in Loudun, France, became the scene of an outbreak of pure evil.
Some even called it a diabolical possession.
Over a short period of time, the nuns who inhabited this House of God, showed all of the signs of a demonic attack, including speaking in tongues and acting in a most extraordinary and hysterical manner never remembering any of their actions.
How did such a demonic force find its way into the lives of such God-fearing victims?
What happened next?
You will never guess...listen in to this episode to find out.

Nestled in the heart of Germany, Frankenstein's Castle looms atop a jagged hill, casting a haunting shadow over the surrounding countryside.
Once home to the infamous alchemist, Johann Conrad Dippel, the castle is steeped in dark history and sinister legends.
But it's not just the creepy exterior that draws visitors in - it's the ghostly inhabitants that roam the halls and corridors, stirring up fear and fascination in equal measure.
Could these be the restless spirits of Dippel's failed experiments, Frankenstein's Castle is a spine-chilling destination for any thrill-seeker brave enough to explore its haunted depths.

Prepare to be captivated by the bone-chilling tale of the Runcorn Poltergeist, a haunting that sent shockwaves through the entire north-west of England in 1952. This spine-tingling story follows young John Glynn Jones and his family as they unwittingly encounter a force beyond comprehension.
It all starts with strange noises emanating from the dressing-table, escalating to drawers violently rattling and objects mysteriously moving on their own. As the terrifying phenomena intensify, suspicion falls on John as the culprit.
Enter the world of poltergeists, where sound effects, levitation, and unexplained damage reign supreme. The Runcorn Ghost wreaks havoc on the household, drawing international attention and offering a glimpse into the darkest corners of the paranormal realm. From failed exorcisms to levitating household objects witnessed by numerous observers, this haunting defies logical explanation.
This story will leave you questioning the boundaries of the supernatural and the enduring impact of unseen forces.

The 'Know Your Meme - external' site defines Slenderman, as "a mythical creature often depicted as a tall, thin figure wearing a black suit and a blank face". In the mythology "he can stretch or shorten his arms at will and has tentacle-like appendages protruding from his back".
In this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we look at what happens when fiction becomes fact, and when the belief in something, that was never real in the first place, embeds itself into the collective psyche so deeply that it can have terrible consequences.
This is the story of when Slenderman led two young girls to try and commit a murder.
We are adding a message that was sent to us from a fan who wrote ' I would like to make a correction. There was a comparison of Slenderman and Mothman both being from books. This is an error. The original Mothman sightings was around 1966 whereas John Keels Mothman book was written in the 70s. This was a case of the sightings came before the book. Whether Mothman exists or not, the verdict is still out for me, but I wanted to give you a correction."
Hello True Hauntings Podcast Fans and first time listeners,
As from this episode we no longer have to capable production work that was part of the podcast for the last two years - our beautiful Bonnie, who took the raw material we recorded and made sense of it has needed to move on and become the legend that she deserves to be.
So Anne has taken it upon herself to grab the reigns of producing the podcast from now on.
May God be with her!!!
She is a powerhouse of accepting challenges and is doing her best to keep the quality of the show exactly what our listeners are used to.
Please forgive any blips that might come up over the next month or two as she now adds this craft under her belt of skills.
We thank Bonnie for her selfless giving over the last 24 months from the very moment she came in to save us when we lost our first producer of the podcast she has been a lifesaver!
As always -
We hope you enjoy this episode - please leave a review and jump on over to our True Hauntings Fans Facebook page and tell us.

In the heart of Oakham Rutland - lies an abandoned jail that was known by the name of Her Majesty’s Prison’ Ashwell. It first opened it’s doors in 1955 as an open men's prison that was built on the site of a former World War Two US Army base - home to part of the 82nd Airborne Division.
Ashwell Prison has been home to many criminals, and like other penal establishments it has witnessed plenty of negative emotions, violence and deaths. The prison is said to be plagued by strange sounds, shadows are seen moving across derelict rooms and footsteps are said to follow the unsuspecting visitor.
There have also been many reports of dark shadowy figures throughout the prison buildings and in its grounds, and visitors say they have felt like they're being pushed out of cell doors, as though the former inmate doesn’t want them invading his space.
We look into the stories of Ashwell Prison before we too spend a night alone within the walls of the Jail in March. Look out for our lives on our social pages coming up in just a few weeks as we head to Ireland and the UK for the whole month of March.
