    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.

Castles and ghosts just seem to go together and Leap Castle is no different. There seems to be several spirits here, including a mysterious elemental.

    Phantasmal Crime Ep. 59 - Allan Memorial Institute Mind Control Atrocities

    2026/08/04 | 28 mins.
    We have shared on previous podcasts that there were asylums that had sterilized patients without their knowledge and without their consent. Now, ratchet that up to doing mind-altering experiments on these patients without their knowledge or consent. That is the Allan Memorial Institute. This building had once been a home, but for a time it was like a prison. The atrocities that occurred here have left behind an immense amount of spiritual residue and this nearly always leads to paranormal activity.
