Ghostly wraps up Haunted Murder Houses at the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts. In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were killed with a hatchet, and Lizzie was tried and acquitted. Today, guests can sleep in the room where Abby died. Rebecca tracks the body-shaped impression on the bed and the mist that drifts to Andrew’s sofa, while Pat sticks to the record. You decide: genuine haunting, or entirely senseless talk?

Is the LaLaurie Mansion Haunted? Content advisory: This episode discusses the torture and deaths of enslaved people in 1830s New Orleans. Some of the language is graphic, though never explicit. It may not be suitable for all listeners. This episode of Ghostly visits the LaLaurie Mansion. Every night in the French Quarter, people gather on the corner of Royal and Governor Nicholls and tilt their phones up at a three-story gray house that nobody is allowed to enter. In 1834, a kitchen fire exposed what Delphine LaLaurie had been doing to the people she enslaved. A mob tore the house apart, and Madame escaped, never to face trial. This week, Haunted Murder Houses heads to New Orleans. Rebecca follows the little girl on the roof and the man in chains, while Pat separates what the 1834 record actually shows from almost two centuries of legend. You decide: genuine haunting, or entirely senseless talk? The History Delphine LaLaurie was a wealthy New Orleans socialite famous for her lavish parties at 1140 Royal Street. Rumors about how she treated the people she enslaved circulated for years. Then, on April 10, 1834, a kitchen fire broke out. Bystanders broke down the doors to the slave quarters and found seven people in restraints, and the cook, chained to the stove, said she set the fire herself. A mob wrecked the house, and Delphine fled to Paris, never to face trial. The house standing today was rebuilt after 1838, and the most gruesome versions of the story first appeared in books written more than a century later. Nicolas Cage bought the house in 2007 and lost it to foreclosure two years later. The Hauntings Leah, the little girl on the roof: According to the lore, an enslaved child fled Madame’s whip and fell from the roof. Since the 1800s, passersby have reported a ghost child on the rooftop. One guide’s dead streetlamps flickered on the moment she said the girl’s name. The man in chains: The house’s most-reported ghost. Tenement tenants in the 1890s said he attacked them and then vanished. A housekeeper who didn’t know the house’s history saw “a tall dark man with chains around his neck” and never went back. Madame never left: After the Civil War, when the house was a girls’ school, students showed up with scratched arms and blamed “that woman.” Visitors still report a woman watching from the upper windows. Screams, moans, and the smell of smoke: The cook chained to the stove is said to remain. A stench of burnt, rotting meat comes and goes with no source. The house that won’t keep an owner: The 1837 buyer lasted three months. A boarding house opened in 1884 and closed soon after. Jules Vignie was found dead in the attic in 1892. A tenant who complained of “sprites” was murdered in 1894. Nicolas Cage reportedly never spent a single night there. Rebecca also has a first-person story from the sidewalk on Royal Street. Tune in for that one.

Content advisory: This episode discusses several deaths by suicide in the Lemp family. If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (U.S.), any time. Is the Lemp Mansion Haunted? In this episode, Ghostly heads to the Lemp Mansion, and we have a special guest. Kyle Maiden spent the night at the Lemp while driving Route 66 across the country, and he tells us what happened after the last staff member went home. Pat tells us the sad history of the Lemp family. Special Guest: Kyle Maiden Kyle Maiden is the founder of Picard, Projiq, and HUMAN Project Delivery, an innovator in project management delivery, and the host of Project Management After Dark. On a cross-country trip down Route 66, which once ran right through St. Louis, he booked a night at the Lemp Mansion. He came back with stories, and he shares them with us on this episode. Follow Kyle on Instagram: @kyle.maiden The History German immigrant Johann Adam Lemp arrived in St. Louis in 1838 and is credited with bringing lager beer to the city. His son William built the Lemp Brewery into the largest in St. Louis and bought the mansion at 3322 DeMenil Place, connected by tunnel to the family’s lagering caves. Then tragedy took over. Favorite son Frederick died at 28 in 1901, and William Sr. shot himself in his bedroom in 1904. Daughter Elsa died by suicide in 1920. Prohibition shut the brewery, which sold at auction in 1922 for a fraction of its worth, and that December William Jr. shot himself in his office, in the same house where his father died. Charles Lemp, the last of the family to live there, followed in 1949. The mansion became a run-down boarding house until the Pointer family bought it in 1975 and turned it into a restaurant and inn. In 1980, Life magazine named it one of the most haunted houses in America. In September 2026, the Pointers put it up for sale. It stays open through December 2027. The Hauntings The Lavender Lady — William Jr.’s ex-wife Lillian, who wore nothing but lavender. Guests report a purple apparition, the scent of lavender by her portrait, and a smoky silhouette of a woman caught on film in the bar doorway. Charles and his dog — the last Lemp, still said to walk the halls with his Doberman. Investigators asked, “Is there anyone here with us?” and caught a dog barking on the recording. The man with the key — a 2004 tour group found a guest room standing open with a key in the lock, then remembered passing a pale older man with a key in the hallway. No one like him was working or staying there that night. The peeping ghost in the ladies’ room — William Jr.’s old private bathroom, where women still report a man looking over the top of the stall. The house that wouldn’t let anyone stay — boarders hearing knocks and footsteps, renovation workers who walked off the job, and staff who watch glasses fly off the bar and hear the piano play by itself. Rebecca also has a first-person story from the attic, and Kyle tells us about his own night in the mansion. Tune in for both.

Is the Villisca Axe House Haunted? Content advisory: This episode discusses a real mass murder in which six children were killed, plus violence, death, and a 2014 self-harm incident. If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (U.S.), any time. On a Sunday night in June 1912, eight people went to sleep in a modest two-story house in Villisca, Iowa, and none of them woke up. More than a century later, the case is still unsolved, the house is still standing, and you can still book a night inside. Kicking off our October series, Haunted Murder Houses, Rebecca follows the children who never stopped playing, while Pat lays out the suspect list: a confession that got taken back, a state senator with a grudge, and a hired man with a payroll alibi. You decide: genuine haunting, or entirely senseless talk? The History In 1912, Villisca was a small railroad town of about 2,000 people with nearly 30 trains stopping every day. On June 9, Josiah and Sarah Moore, their four children (Herman, Katherine, Boyd, and Paul), and two young overnight guests, sisters Lena and Ina Stillinger, came home from the Children’s Day program at the Presbyterian church. Sometime after midnight, someone entered the house with Joe Moore’s own axe and killed all eight. Mirrors and windows were draped, faces were covered, and the killer slipped out before dawn. Townspeople trampled the crime scene, and the suspects followed: state senator Frank Jones, the hired man William “Blackie” Mansfield, and the traveling preacher Rev. George Kelly, who confessed, recanted, and was acquitted in 1917. No one was ever convicted. Restored to its 1912 appearance in the 1990s and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, the house is now open for tours and overnight stays. The Hauntings The children who never stopped playing — balls that roll across the kids’ room on their own, and doors that bang shut, according to former owner Darwin Linn. When WHO Radio’s Van and Bonnie spent the night, three balls “just took off all in different directions.” The man with the axe — in 1930, newlywed Bonnie Ritner said she saw a man holding an axe at the foot of her bed. Visitors have reported the same “shadow man” ever since. Lena’s closet — a closet door that banged behind Darwin Linn as he carried guests’ coins downstairs, and a 1999 investigator who called the house “borderline demonic.” Footsteps on the stairs — ordinary overnight guests hearing someone climb the stairs and walk overhead when nobody else was in the house. “But we knew what we heard.” The night things got real — a 2014 overnight that ended in an emergency, and the longtime caretaker who stopped staying the night afterward.

It's one of the most impressive train stations ever built in America, and for most of its life, it's been standing completely empty. This episode, Rebecca tracks down the spirits who never left Buffalo's Central Terminal, while Pat digs into how a building this grand ended up abandoned for over forty years. You decide: genuine haunting, or entirely senseless talk?

Is Mary King’s Close Edinburgh’s Most Haunted Street? Beneath a grand 18th-century stone building on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile — one that gives no hint of what’s underneath — sits an entire street frozen in time. Rooms, staircases, even fireplaces, sealed beneath the foundations when the Royal Exchange went up in 1753. Mary King’s Close was home to merchants, tradespeople, and, in 1645, some of the city’s worst plague victims. Today it’s one of the most investigated haunted sites in the UK, and almost every tour still ends in the same small stone room, in front of a pile of children’s toys. This week, Rebecca walks through Wee Annie, the EVP session at Andrew Chesney’s house, the Coltheart family’s disembodied limbs, a namesake ghost caught on infrared, and a real University of Edinburgh study that found something genuinely hard to explain — while Pat digs into who Mary King actually was, what Edinburgh’s Old Town was really like, and why the close’s most famous “true story” doesn’t hold up to the historical record. Is Mary King’s Close genuinely haunted, or is four centuries of plague, poverty, and marketing doing a very convincing impression of one? You decide. What We Cover in This Episode The History (with Pat): Who Mary King really was — a 1630s textile merchant and one of the few women in 17th-century Scotland to hold full burgess rights What Edinburgh’s Old Town actually looked like: 8-to-12-story tenements, no sanitation, and a city crammed onto one narrow ridge The 1645 plague outbreak that devastated the close — and why the popular “300 people sealed in with a named plague doctor” story doesn’t hold up against the historical record How the Royal Exchange was built directly on top of the close in 1753, sealing it underground for 250 years Andrew Chesney, the close’s last documented resident, forced out between 1897 and 1902 The Real Mary King’s Close opening to the public in 2003 after years of restoration The Hauntings (with Rebecca): Evidence #1 — Wee Annie: Japanese psychic Aiko Gibo’s 1990s encounter that turned one small room into the close’s signature haunting — and its ever-growing pile of donated dolls Evidence #2 — Andrew Chesney’s House: an EVP session that allegedly caught his voice telling investigators to “just get out” Evidence #3 — The Coltheart Family: a 17th-century lawyer’s household terrorized by a disembodied arm, a phantom child, and a vanishing dog Evidence #4 — Mary King Herself: an infrared photograph said to show the close’s own namesake still walking her old street Evidence #5 — The University of Edinburgh’s Haunting Experiment: a real 2001 academic study that found a statistically significant gap between “haunted” and “ordinary” sections of the close Weigh the Evidence As always, it’s not up to us,  it’s up to YOU. After listening, text us the episode title, add YES if you’re a believer or NO if you’re a skeptic, and give it a haunting score from 1 to 10.

Is Preston Castle Haunted? In this episode of Ghostly, we head to the tiny Gold Rush town of Ione, California, to explore Preston Castle — a red-brick, Romanesque Revival reform school with a dark past and a reputation as one of the West Coast’s most active haunted locations. Built to correct troubled boys, the castle instead became the site of beatings, escapes, and at least one unsolved murder. Decades after it closed, staff, tour guides, and paranormal investigators all say the same thing: it never really emptied out. History of Preston Castle Established in 1890 by the California State Legislature as a progressive reform school for juvenile offenders; the cornerstone was laid December 23, 1890, in front of roughly 2,500 spectators Built in the Romanesque Revival style — considered the finest example of that style in the Mother Lode — using bricks manufactured at San Quentin and Folsom prisons from locally quarried sandstone The first wards were accepted June 13, 1894, and the school officially opened July 1, 1894; electricity arrived the following year via a water-wheel-powered Pelton dynamo At its peak, the school held around 800 wards, employed 200 staff, and worked roughly 1,000 acres of surrounding farmland across some 50 buildings Discipline behind the scenes was harsh: public lashings, isolation, military-style drills, and “dunking baths” meant to treat lice were all part of daily life for the boys sent here The school closed in 1960 when the state opened newer facilities, and the castle sat vacant and deteriorating for more than 40 years Local preservationists fought off demolition; the nonprofit Preston Castle Foundation leased the property in 2001 and took full ownership in 2014 Today it’s a California Historical Landmark (#867) and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with the Foundation running public tours and events on-site Reported Paranormal Activity Visitors, staff, and investigators have reported disembodied footsteps and voices, sudden temperature drops, physical touches ranging from a light brush to a hard poke, and cameras or recorders draining batteries or glitching with no explanation. It’s earned Preston Castle a spot on nearly every “most haunted place in California” list out there. The Ghost of Anna Corbin The castle’s most well-known haunting centers on Anna Corbin, the head housekeeper who was like a mother figure to the boys at Preston. In February 1950, she was beaten and strangled in a basement storeroom. Three separate trials followed — and nobody was ever convicted. Locals believe her spirit still can’t leave, and that she’s the one still walking the basement, and the halls, checking on “her boys.” The Infirmary Widely considered the most consistently active room in the building. The infirmary treated wards who fell ill, and some — including 8-year-old Grant Walker and 20-year-old Nicholas Hamilton — never left. Visitors report figures standing at the infirmary windows that vanish the moment they’re noticed, along with faint voices and movement in a room that should be empty. The Basement Beyond Anna’s room, the basement as a whole has a reputation as the heaviest, most unsettling part of the castle — cold spots with no source, shadow figures along the walls, and a dread so strong some investigators refuse to go down at all. On Camera: The Ghost Adventures Investigation When the Ghost Adventures crew investigated Preston Castle, they captured EVPs including “I don’t know,” “talk,” and “get out of here,” along with mist and orbs moving near their own heads on camera. More than one crew member came out of the basement with fresh, unexplained scratches — and Zak Bagans reportedly behaved so differently down there that the rest of the crew wondered if he’d been influenced by Anna herself. Spirits of the Wards Some of the castle’s activity is tied to the boys who lived — and in some cases died — here. Reports include child-like laughter with no children around, faint crying, and small shadow figures darting through the halls. Two names recur often in the lore: Sam Goins and Herman Huber, both shot by guards during separate escape attempts in the early 1900s.

Was the Movie Poltergeist Cursed? Welcome to the Ghostly Summer Rewind! While we take a short break from new episodes this summer, we’re reaching back into the vault to re-release five of our favorite episodes. This episode originally aired back in the summer of 2019. Quick heads-up: you may notice the sound quality and formatting aren’t quite up to our current standards — we’ve learned a lot since then! We hope you’ll excuse the rougher edges and just enjoy the story. Whether you’re hearing it for the first time or revisiting an old favorite, thanks for spending part of your summer with us. New episodes return this fall! In Ghostly’s seventeenth episode, Pat and Rebecca explore the curse of Poltergeist, the 1982 movie by Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper and its sequels. Legend says that the movie was cursed because of its dark subject matter and use of real skeletons in the original movie. Several actors suffered untimely deaths, including two of its main stars, Dominque Dunne and Heather O’Rourke. Other paranormal claims include lightening strikes, mechanical clowns attacking children, and an exorcism. Do all these events add up to a curse? As always, you the listener get to decide. Questions explored in this episode: What happened on the set of the Poltergeist movies that led people to believe it was cursed? What happened to Dominique Dunne? How did Heather O’Rourke die? What claims did JoBeth Williams, who played the mother make about the film? Did she and others experience poltergeist activity? What is a poltergeist? Why was there an exorcism performed on the set of the second movie? Is there a Poltergeist curse?   Listen to hear Pat give a basic plot overview along with a brief history of the movie and the details of the deaths of two of the main stars, Dominque Dunne and Heather O’Rouke. WARNING: There are some graphic details of domestic abuse when discussing Dominque Dunne’s tragic death. If you or anyone you know is suffering from domestic abuse, please call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit https://www.thehotline.org/ After the history, listen to Rebecca tell the ghost story of what it was like to work on the film. It is a terrifying tale that would be a nightmare for any actor – or anyone. Then listen to the Great Debate! Rebecca and Pat go through all the stories and evidence of the curse of Poltergeist, including the deaths, the almost deaths, and just all-around potential paranormal activity, and debate what’s true and what’s just folklore. Listen to all sides and decide what you believe. Be sure to stay for the whole episode to hear the “Closing Arguments” to help you make your choice before voting. Also included in this episode are, as always, poll results from our previous episode on Waverly Hills Sanatorium. (Check out the episode here if you haven’t had a chance to listen yet).
