    Ep. 652 - Haunted Toronto

    2026/08/27 | 1h
    Canada is home to some great haunts and Toronto is one of those cities harboring several locations with ghosts stories. We've covered Keg Mansion (Ep. 303) and Queen's Park (Ep. 57 & upcoming Redux) in previous episodes, but there are many other haunted locations in the city of Toronto and on this episode, we are going to explore several of them. There are theaters and jails, but also several little shops and restaurants that seem warm and inviting until one realizes you may be joined by the unseen. Join us for the history and hauntings of the city of Toronto. The Moment in Oddity features Old RIP the Lizard.

    Norwich State Hospital Redux

    2026/08/25 | 26 mins.
    Norwich State Hospital in Connecticut served as a home and place of treatment for the mentally ill for a hundred years. As is the case with many old insane asylums, treatment methods were arcane and in some cases torturous. Mental illness was not understood and people were mistreated years ago. Places that harbor pain and suffering seem to capture the energy for all eternity and that energy tends to lead to supernatural activity. Have evil entities been drawn here by the painful emotions? Is the bad energy trapped within the walls of the building itself? Join us for the history and hauntings of the Norwich State Hospital.

    Ep. 651 - Mont-Saint-Michel or "The Nest"

    2026/08/20 | 29 mins.
    We once again were inspired to research a location that we saw on a series. This one is Mont-Saint-Michel from "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon." The location in the series is like a safe haven for the good people, at least that is the way it appears on the surface. The castle-like main building is so beautiful and large that it seemed like it had to be a creation of CGI, so we were shocked to look it up and find that it was a real place. And when we dug a little further to see if it was haunted, sure enough, it was! Join us for the history and hauntings of France's Mont-Saint-Michel. This Month in History features the birth of Cecil B. DeMille.

    Stones and Bones Ep. 23 - Colon Cemetery in Havana

    2026/08/18 | 23 mins.
    The oldest cemetery in the country of Cuba is known by several names. There is La Necropolis de Cristobal Colon or El Cementerio de Cristóbal Colón or Colon Cemetery or in English, the Christopher Columbus Cemetery. Clearly, this city of the dead was named for Christopher Columbus. The Colon Cemetery is in the capital of Havana and was founded in 1876 and has over 800,000 burials. The cemetery appears to be a sea of monuments, some beautiful and some in disrepair, and is the final resting place for many historical figures and also legendary characters, one of which is a well-known figure in Santeria.

    Ep. 650 - Brownella Cottage

    2026/08/13 | 34 mins.
    Brownella Cottage in Galion is said to be one of the most haunted locations in Ohio and has stood for nearly 140 years. While this is not a small house, it definitely has the appearance of a cottage and it has the distinction of having only the couple that built it, live in it. Bishop Brown was a controversial figure and he and his wife Ella are believed to haunt their former home. Join us for the history and hauntings of Brownella Cottage. The Moment in Oddity features parachuting Tylenol mice.
