Welcome back listeners!

We have a great episode for you this week which highlights the amazing changes to reform in the USA but also the hauntings in a very historic site.

Nestled in the heart of Chicago's Near West Side, Hull House stands as a testament to social reform and a beacon for the supernatural.

Established in 1889 by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, this historic settlement house provided refuge and support to immigrants and the underprivileged. However, beyond its philanthropic mission, Hull House has garnered a reputation as one of Chicago's most haunted locations, captivating the imaginations of locals and visitors alike.

Among the myriad of ghostly tales, the legend of the "Devil Baby" stands out. In 1913, stories emerged of a deformed infant with pointed ears, scales, and a tail, allegedly born to a local woman and hidden within Hull House. Despite Jane Addams' efforts to dispel the myth, throngs of curious onlookers flocked to the house, hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous child. This tale, deeply rooted in cultural and religious tensions of the time, continues to intrigue and unsettle.

Beyond the Devil Baby, Hull House is rife with reports of paranormal activity. Visitors and staff have recounted sightings of a "Lady in White," believed to be the spirit of Millicent Hull, the original owner's wife who died in the house. Others have reported unexplained footsteps, cold spots, and apparitions of children playing in the courtyard. These enduring legends contribute to Hull House's status as a focal point for ghost tours and paranormal investigations in Chicago.

Join us in this episode as we delve into the eerie history of Hull House, exploring the intersection of social activism and the supernatural. We'll unravel the stories that have cemented its place in Chicago's haunted lore, from the chilling legend of the Devil Baby to the spectral sightings that persist to this day.

Suggested by our listener Dave Man (thanks, Dave!), this episode dives into the chilling legend of Cortijo Jurado, an abandoned 19th-century mansion near Málaga, Spain. Often called “the Spanish Amityville”, this grand but decaying estate is infamous for satanic rituals, alleged torture chambers, and ghostly encounters.

Over the decades, Cortijo Jurado has gained a terrifying reputation as one of the most haunted places in Spain. Locals whisper about missing girls, dark rituals, and paranormal phenomena—from shadowy figures in windows to voices echoing through the empty halls.

Anne and Renata dig deep into the history, the hauntings, and the controversies. Is this just a case of gothic folklore run wild, or is there something truly sinister in the shadows?

🎙️ Listen now to uncover:

• Who lived at Cortijo Jurado and why they were suspected of horrific crimes
• Eyewitness stories of supernatural events at the mansion
• The fine line between Spanish urban legends and terrifying truth

Nestled high above the mighty Columbia River in Hood River, Oregon, stands a grand, ivy-clad hotel. To some, it’s a charming getaway wrapped in old-world elegance. But to others… it’s a gateway.

Welcome to the Columbia Gorge Hotel — a place where time seems to ripple, where ghostly whispers echo through the halls, and where guests have checked in… but haven’t always checked out.

Built in the 1920s, this historic hotel has hosted the elite, survived the Great Depression, and seen decades of change. But beneath its polished floors and roaring fireplaces lies a chilling energy that many visitors can feel… and some claim to have seen.

In this episode, we’ll explore the tragic tales of loss and longing that may still linger in the walls, the reported sightings of spirits wandering the corridors, and the legends that continue to haunt the Columbia Gorge Hotel.

So dim the lights, pour yourself something warm — or something stronger — and join me as we step inside one of the Pacific Northwest’s most haunted havens.

This… is the Columbia Gorge Hotel.
