The Grand Midway Hotel, located in the historic town of Windber, PA, is a place of mystery. A potential portal for spiritual activity. Its entire roof is a Ouija Board, it is home to the largest Tarot Card, and it is full of haunted objects. And that's all on top of the stories attached to the building, such as the alleged murder of a sex worker in the infamous Canopy Room and an unsolved murder in the Titanic-themed bar. Listen to hear all about The Grand Midway and my experiences staying there overnight. You'll also hear about the Spiritualist Movement and the history of Ouija Boards.

Yellow Dog Village is an abandoned company town in the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The residents left abruptly, and a lot of their personal items remain in the homes today. For this reason, the houses themselves stand as a sort of time capsule and a visual representation of the lives lived there. Paranormal investigations have been held on the property, resulting in unexplained happenings that give the town the reputation of being quite haunted. Listen to hear about my experiences exploring the homes of Yellow Dog Village.

Content Warning: Today's episode details the abuses experienced at Pennhurst State School and Hospital. Listener discretion is advised.

In 1908, Pennhurst opened as the Eastern Pennsylvania State Institution for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic. It was a place for mentally and physically disabled individuals, with 10,500 people were institutionalized at Pennhurst throughout its history. These people were trapped, hidden away from the rest of the world, and subject to devastating abuses. Today, visitors try to communicate with the spirits of former residents, to give them a space to tell their stories.
