We're back! To kick off season 5, we’re heading to Monte Cristo Homestead. An elegant Victorian manor in New South Wales with a not so elegant past. There’s a wealthy railway tycoon, a reclusive widow, some very dead chickens, and allegedly a stable boy who slept through a fire.

Boo! Did we scare you with our chaotic posting schedule? Never fear, we haven’t ghosted you. This week we are clicking our heels three times to end up in Kansas where a paranormal investigator and seeming skeptic Becky provided Kristen with all the tea. Treasure, buried in the back yard bodies, mystery pictures. This place has everything except maybe facts to back it up? Listen to find out if it’s phantoms or a really strong wind.

We tried so hard and got so far, but in the end we can't not reference this song this week. That's right we are discussing the haunting of LINCOLN Park Zoo. The tourist attraction in Chicago, not to be confused with the band of similar name but different spelling. The zoo has lions, meerkats, and ghost skunks! Oh my! There is also a connection to a very sad bridge and stories about ghost children. This story will not leave you feeling Numb. Okay, we're done now, happy listening!

Season 4 is still here! We go Down Under this week to discuss the Historic Port Arthur site in Tasmania. Once a Penal Colony it's full of dark energy and sad stories. From an Isle of Dead to a Lady in Blue we delve into the spiritual possibilities. We also have some technical difficulties. Bad internet or something supernatural? Who knows.
