  • The Horror Of Fox Hollow Farm

    The Horror Of Fox Hollow Farm
    Nov 12 2024

    Carmel was a safe place, everyone thought so – well, until the middle 1990s, when the town was rocked to its core by the discovery of a mass burial ground at the home of a prominent local businessman.

    It was only later that everyone learned the truth and Herb’s sinister side was revealed – along with the scores of bodies that were buried beneath the earth of Fox Hollow Farm.

  • Halloween Bonus Episode - The Boise Murder House

    Halloween Bonus Episode - The Boise Murder House
    Oct 31 2024

    If you ever happen to find yourself driving down West Linden Street in Boise, Idaho, you might notice the house that sits at number 805. Covered in a layer of dirt, boarded up, windows broken, and trash scattered all over the yard, the large, two-story Craftsman-style home looks like an abandoned set for a horror film – but in this case, the true story is much more terrifying than fiction.

Not bad!

For those interested in folk lore, the paranormal/supernatural, general history, good yarns and good, old-fashioned horse's assery and dipshittery, this might just be the podcast for you! So, get yourself some pretzels and your best, nice cold, 120 year old vintage bottle of Lemp beer, and sit down for a while and take a listen ; and marvel at the fact that we live in a country where two morons living way too close to the Mason-Dixon and I70 line can make it in podcasting! It brings an inspirational tear to your eye and a lump in your throat to think about it....

Great pod cast

I have never been into pod cast until I found this as a recommendation after a book. I listen everyday and have enjoyed every episode. I have been into the paranormal etc.. since I had a weird experience coming home from my grandmas when I was about 10. I have heard all the stories about Alton St. Louis all of southern Illinois, and all the main stream ones too, but I have never heard the history behind them and this pod cast gave this to me. It you enjoy ghost and history like me I highly recommend!!!

Pro's and Con's

Pro's:
The Stories are well developed and researched. Narration of story is very good. His voice pleasant and the inflection and pace was dead on for me with the story part of the podcast. You can tell a lot of time and effort was put into recording a quality podcast.

Con's:
What's with the constant banjo/guitar picking???? By the 4th story the musical accompaniments were all I could hear. It felt a little to 'Deliverance' for my taste.
The post commentary tended to be more sales pitches for various ticket, books and events than discussion of story.

Makes for a good distraction

It's a lot of fun to listen to while I'm working. I only wish that I could listen to it for the whole shift.

Lucky to find American Hauntings

My brother Kaleb told me about this podcast about a year ago. He recently went to your conference and came back with lots of fun stories. I’m so glad he got to meet you guys. For reference, I am 18 years older than him so I’ve gotten the rare opportunity to watch my brother grow up. This is the first time I’ve seen him so excited about anything. He is studying paranormal and acquiring Equipment to start ghost hunting. He would probably say that I’m describing it wrong. Lol. But he brought me a troy book as a souvenir and I’m excited to read it. I’ve loved your podcast and have learned to accept troys interruptions of Cody. Maybe I will get to go with him next time. Thanks again!

A podcast for investigators and everyone else

If you are a paranormal investigator or interested in the paranormal. this is the podcast you are looking for! Great presentation, good humor, compelling writing and an overdose on history I would recommend this to anybody seriously interested in hauntings and haunted history!

One of my very favorite podcasts

I love ghost stories and I love true crime and I feel like this is the perfect mix of both. The history behind the hauntings is great and I love that so much research has gone into it. You both are great and make me laugh.
