We’re back with another dive into haunted haute couture! In our first spooky fashion episode, we covered arsenic green gowns, mad hatters, and more—but we couldn’t resist returning to explore even more deadly designs from history. From corsets stiffened with whale baleen to the ghostly glow of lead-based beauty creams, this episode peels back the silk and lace to reveal the horrors beneath the hemline. We’ll talk about The Spirits of Saturn, the poisonous “foundation” that claimed lives in the name of pale perfection, and the belladonna eye drops that gave Renaissance women their hauntingly beautiful, and sometimes literally blinding, gaze. Because when it comes to fashion, history proves one thing: beauty has always been a killer.

Built in the 1800s, this estate has lived many lives — once home to the Hankey Baking Company Farms, and later a printing press and horse farm under James A. Stewart. Today, it’s the site of a thriving winery that embraces its history — and the spirits that never left. During our investigation, we explored every floor of the mansion from the subterrean rathskeller to the upstairs bedrooms. Guests and investigators alike report phantom footsteps, knocking, voices, and even moving wine bottles. Whether it’s the former owners checking in or just residual energy from the mansion’s long history, one thing’s certain — the spirits here are still swirling. Raise a glass and join us as we uncork the mysteries of the Black Dog Wine Company where history and hauntings blend perfectly.

You told us your stories — we listened. In this listener-powered episode, we read and react to the paranormal encounters sent in by you, our listeners. From chilling apparitions to fog that vanishes at the edge of the road, these are the firsthand moments that stuck with everyday people. From Gettysburg to Lake Erie, we debate whether these stories point to lingering spirits, residual energy, mass suggestion, or something else entirely. Got a spine-tingling story? Send it in!
