  • S5 E7. Old Idaho Penitentiary
    Nov 19 2025

    Hey there! We're not making excuses, we'll go to podcast jail. Or at least, we'll talk about a jail on this podcast. Old Idaho Penitentiary was an awful place full of dangerous inmates. Is it any surprise it's reportedly haunted? We talk about some of the ghosts who are still locked up in there as well as some throw back ghost movies.

  • S5 E7. The Witch House
    Oct 31 2025

    Happy Halloween! In honor of FOUR years of Ghosts and Ghouls we decided to take a trip to Salem and get a little witchy. We talk about The Witch house, supposedly haunted and with a family curse. We discuss horoscopes, folklore, and get confused about our own personal history. If this episode sounds a little like frankenstien's monster bear with us, Kristen helped in editing again.

  • S5 E5. Shoshone Ice Caves
    Oct 8 2025

    Brrrr it's cold in here, must be some ice crusted spirits in the atmosphere! Anyway, we're in Idaho talking about a very cool (heh) location called the Shoshone Ice Caves. Apparently the spirit of an Native American Princess was trapped there when she was buried in the caves. Now she's begging to get out. Or is she? We also talk about big bears and small cannibal dwarves. Oh, and Kristen's crush on the Jersey Devil.
