Hey everyone. Got a feed drop for you all for a show that I think you'll really enjoy. I know I do. Every town has a ghost story. That creepy house at the end of the road that all the locals whisper about. The decaying old abandoned hospital that seems to lure you in. That one cemetery that always seems to have a thick layer of fog and twisted dead trees. Hometown Ghost Stories is a podcast that uncovers the secrets of those haunted locations. Every week, Rob, Dave, and Jesse dive into the history of these towns. From small villages that you may never have heard of to big cities all around the world, hometown ghost stories uncovers the truth behind these twisted tales. In the episode you're about to hear, the crew traveled to Newark, Ohio,

and visited the Licking County Jail in person to find out firsthand why this location has earned a reputation for being plagued with ghosts. Find out what they uncovered in this special episode of hometown ghost stories, available wherever you get your podcasts. You can also catch their show live every Tuesday night streaming on YouTube at 9 p.m. Eastern and join the crew as they break down yet another hometown ghost story. This week on hometown ghost stories nestled in the forks of the licking river just east of Columbus since the city of Newark, Ohio. Incorporated in 1813, the city is known for both its Midwestern industrial routes

as well as its small-town charm. But beneath that charm is a darker side, a haunted side. From the Midland Theater to the Cedar Hill Cemetery, two locations rumored to be so haunted that the mere mention of them causes locals to go weeks without sleep. But what the city is most notorious for is its old jailhouse,

the Licking County Jail, a building haunted by the ghosts of its former inmates, one of which famously described it as the closest place to hell. Join us as we dig into the twisted, dark history of Newark, Ohio. Hometown ghost stories contains serious and often distressing events and is not intended for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. Reality struck when the lights went out that first night. Laura felt something strange and fearful for the first time since she rid herself of the toxic plague that she had called a husband for 40 years.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, as they say. The fourth floor of the Licking County Jail was reserved for women and juveniles, but it was no more welcoming. Cold stone walls and heavy iron doors that creaked on rusted hinges and slammed like thunder, echoing down the lonesome halls. Alone, that's what she felt. She didn't miss her husband, so the gloom. that weighed so heavily on her soul

must have been caused by something else. But what? The last few days had been a blur. The sound that kept replaying in her head, the teeth of the hand saw tearing through sinew and bone. No matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't stop. The strict silence policy after lights out was apparently effective. An eerie quiet hung heavily in the air,

making her cell feel like a tomb. The tearing sound was a deafening contrast to the otherwise soundless jailhouse. It was certain to drive her mad if she hadn't gone mad already, like the newspapers were saying. She tried to distract herself from the sound by imagining herself walking through a grassy meadow, barefoot. She imagined the blades of grass tickling her feet and puffy clouds floating by above her head. Suddenly, she heard her cell door loudly and solidly. slowly creaking open. The sharp squeal of the hinges cut through the silent halls like a police siren in a library.

She shot up in her cot and looked towards the door, but it was still closed. The air was suddenly frigid as an icy breeze cut through her thin, county-issued jumpsuit. There was someone in the cell with her. Impossible. The door was still shut. She thought she heard it open, but that must have been her mom. imagination because she certainly would have heard it slam. That's when she saw him. A shadow in the corner at first.

But as he seemingly began to glide closer, he began to come into focus. He appeared not like he was, but like a revenant that returned from beyond the grave. Tom, she said. He looked sick. His head hung unnaturally to the side due to a rigid neck wound, and he was missing both arms. just two stumps bleeding onto the floor. Laura panicked, screaming and tossing her blanket at the vestige as it glided slowly towards her. She tried to flee the bed, but her foot got caught in the blanket and she stumbled to the floor.

She screamed again and closed her eyes as the bloody ghost of her murdered husband descended on to her, thirsty for its revenge. She felt something grab her shoulder, and all she could do was except her fate. Then she remembered that the ghost of her husband had no arms and realized it was a guard who had grabbed her. Lara just looked around for the ghost, but he was gone. She told the guard it was just a nightmare, and he went on his way. But just before the lights went out again,

she saw the trail of blood on the floor leading back to the corner of the cell. I'm Dave Wilkins, and this is hometown ghost stories, the old Licking County Jail, Newark, Ohio. Newark, Ohio is a quiet city that sits in the heart of Licking County. Founded in 1802, Newark grew up alongside the canal and railroad systems, becoming a hub for manufacturing, glassworks, and trade. But underneath all that progress, this town seen its share of tragedy, and it's left its fingerprints on the places that still stand today.

Back in the 1800s, this was the frontier of industry. Newark's claim to fame now might be the way. world's largest basket. That giant bizarre monument to the Longaberger Company, but long before that, the real giants here were made of earth and clay. Just outside of town, stretching between Newark and Heath are the Newark Earthworks. Ancient geometric mounds built over 2,000 years ago by the Hopewell tribe, once spanning more than four square miles, today only about 10% remains. Many believe that a has been left behind by the tribe and that nearby buildings are haunted because of it. But Newark's haunted legacy doesn't stop with ancient earth and sky alignments.

Let's start with something more recent, something more theatrical. The Midland Theater first opened its doors in 1928, a Golden Age movie palace with ornate fixtures, velvet seats, and the kind of architectural excess that only existed during Hollywood's rise. It closed in the 1970s, spent years rotting away, and then was lovingly restored in the 2000s. But along with the renovations came the whispers that the theater is not empty when the lights go down. Staff have reported flickering lights throughout, doors opening and closing on their own, and the sound of footsteps pacing across the stage long after guests have gone home.

Some believe that it's the spirit of a former employee who never left, He's known to tinker with the lights or appear as a shadow moving along the seats. Whether the spirit is trying to keep the show running or just doesn't realize it's over, no one really knows. But if you spend enough time alone in that theater when it's empty, they say you start to feel watched from somewhere up in the rafters. Across town sits one of Newark's oldest burial grounds, Cedar Hill Cemetery, established in the mid-1800s,

It's sprawling, quiet, and undeniably beautiful. It's also home to some of the area's most well-known ghost stories. The most famous might be the Baker Mausoleum, a large stone crypt with a reputation for strange sounds. People have reported whispers echoing from inside the sealed tomb. One local legend is that if you knock on the door three times, you might hear someone from inside, knock back. And others have claimed to see a misty figure. pacing the steps, disappearing as you get closer. But it's another monument that draws the most attention.

The baby-faced tombstone. It's a carved gravestone featuring the image of a child's face. And legend says that if you stare at it long enough, it stares back. Some even swear that the eyes follow them as they move. Others say if you look away and then back again, the baby's expression has changed, ever so slightly. And then there's the main event of hauntings in Newark, the Licking County Jail. We had the chance to investigate the old Licking County Jail,

and what we found there is something we won't soon forget. You can find that full investigation on our YouTube channel. Before you go watch that, though, it's worth understanding what kind of place this jail really is and why so many believe the people who suffered inside never truly left. The Licking County Jail opened an area. 1889, its thick walls and heavy iron bars designed to make escape impossible. It's a brooding gothic structure that looks more like a fortress than a jail, a monument to punishment, built to

house Newark's most dangerous and most desperate. In its early years, it was a symbol of justice and control. Today, it's better known as one of the most haunted buildings in Ohio. Over the decades, this place held hundreds of inmates, thieves, murder, jurors, drunks, and even the wrongly accused. But among the nameless and forgotten, a few stories have clawed their way out of history's dark corners. Down in the solitary confinement area, there's one cell that feels different, heavier somehow. It's where Martin Kelly, who was a prisoner here, took his own life in one of the most

violent ways imaginable. He cut from ear to ear with a straight razor, dying alone, in that tiny, bloody room. People say you can still feel the desperation in the air. Investigators who spend time in solitary often report hearing low, guttural growls, believed to be Martin. Martin sometimes reacts when spoken to, answering questions with knocks or answers via EVP or Spirit Box. Others say he still paces the floor, unseen, driven by a pain that never ended. On the third floor is the ghost of George Hackett, known to regular visitors as the peekaboo man.

In life, George was locked up for the attempted murder of his wife, a crime of rage that landed him in the same cell, where he's now said to make his presence known. Those who walk the corridor towards his old cell often describe the same thing, a sudden flicker of movement, a man's head darting into view just long enough to make eye contact before vanishing back into the darkness. It's a quick, almost playful manifestation, like he's testing your nerve, daring you to come closer.

In the sweltering summer of 1947, the quiet town of Newark, Ohio, was shocked by the arrest of Laura Bell Devlin, a soft-spoken mother and wife, who in the backyard of her modest home, stunned investigators with what lay before them, her husband, remembered, partially burned in the wood stove, and scattered across the yard.

Laura calmly confessed to using a hacksaw and fire to hide what she'd done, telling authority simply he deserved it. Her motive, as her lawyers argued, lay in years of domestic abuse by John Devlin. Arrest for his violence existed, but Laura Bell remained trapped in a cycle of silence before the day she snapped, ultimately convicted of second-degree murder, She was sentenced to life in prison. Her final words in court, lucid and chilling. Quote, can I go home now?

End quote. Some believe Laura Bell Devlin never really left. The area where she was booked has become one of the more active spots in the building. Cold drafts move through even when the air is still. And investigators have picked up faint whispers on recorders. Usually a woman's voice. Quiet and low. A few have claimed to see a figure.

standing inside the doorway, only to have it fade when they look again. Whatever lingers there doesn't seem angry, just restless, like someone still waiting for the chance to go home. In 1953, May Varner was brought to the Licking County Jail after an attempted overdose. Her stomach had been pumped, and officials planned to keep her there just long enough for the medication to work its way out of her system before sending her home. but within 45 minutes of arriving, something went horribly wrong. May somehow set her clothing on fire inside her fourth floor cell.

By the time help arrived, it was too late. Those who have spent time on the fourth floor say May never really left. Her old cell is known for sudden spikes of heat in an otherwise cold building, and investigators have reported faint smells of smoke or burning cloth when no source to be found. A few visitors have described hearing muffled cries from behind the cell door when the floor is otherwise empty. What happened that night left an impression, one that still seems to echo through the concrete and steel of her cell. And finally, the most tragic and well-known story connected to this jail, the case of Carl Etherington. In 1910, Newark was under strict prohibition

laws, and 17-year-old Carl Etherington worked as a dry agent, tasked with shutting down illegal saloons. He was just a kid, enforcing a law that most of the town didn't want. In July, he entered a shop run by a man named William Howard. It was a place that secretly sold alcohol. A fight broke out, and Etherington shot Howard in self-defense. Within hours, a furious mob gathered, Carl had been arrested and locked inside the Licking County Jail for his own protection, but the crowd outside wasn't interested in justice. By nightfall, thousands of people surrounded the building, demanding blood. The mob stormed the jail, and it's believed that the guards let them in untouched,

even opened the doors for them. They attacked Etherington as they brought him to the street. They beat him with a hammer and fist, dragged him through the door, town square. As this was all happening, he managed to say, quote, tell my mother that I died trying to do my duty, end quote. He was hanged from a pole in front of the courthouse. His body was left for hours as the crowd cheered. Now the second floor of the old jail has a heaviness to it. This is where Carl was held the night and angry mob dragged him from his cell. Today, his cell is supposed to be one of the most active in the jail. People who have walked the corridor late at night describe hearing

slow, deliberate footsteps pacing the row of cells, followed by the faint sound of keys jingling. Sometimes doors rattle on their own, as if someone is testing the locks. A few investigators have captured a young man's voice, whispering for help, or asking to be let out. It's as though Carl's final moments still replay here, the confusion, the fear, and the echo of a door that never should have opened. The Licking County Jail has seen everything from heartbreak to horror. Every cell has a story, and the air itself feels thick with memory, whether it's the restless dead of solitary, the shadow in the woman's ward, or the echo of a boy who never made it home. This building is a monument to the unfinished business of human souls.

And some nights, when the lights are out, and the halls fall silent, it feels like the jail is still very much alive. What is going on, folks? Welcome into Hometown Ghost Stories episode number, oh, there's Dave. Welcome in folks to Hometown Ghost Stories episode number 180, covering Newark, Ohio, the Licking County Jail. I'm Jesse Wilkins, joined by Rob Cokely. Hello, Robb.

This show was about to be phenomenal if we had just left Dave out, but I guess he's there. I'm sure he'll happily take the night off, but hello, Dave. Yeah, don't tell me. Yeah, I've had a night off in a long time. But, yeah, we're here. We're covering Ohio. We had gone over this again. If you haven't seen the entire video, go check out the full investigation video that we did on the Licking County Jail.

Spent the night there, the three of us also with special guest Sof, who is our camera lady for the night, She helped out big time. And yeah, we hunt up for ghosts, Licking County Jail. It was a great time. Sure was. That we found some. It was a really cool investigation.

Really cool to do a jail, but we'll talk a little bit more about that in a bit. Yeah, absolutely want to go show it to everybody hanging out in live chat. We got 20 gifted memberships from Vice. So thank you so much another Vice. Happy resubdated Demon King, Matthew Thomas, and Aussie Tiger. Still getting used to these new names on the handles. We don't like that.

Update YouTube. Go back. fix it. Yeah, it's truly terrible. Yeah, not great, not great. But what was great was our weekend. So we had a big one. We met up with a lot of the fans that came out to Massachusetts

to show some love and show their support. And we appreciate every single one of you. It came to the live show. And then we did end up doing our investigation, not at the original location, but the Winslow House came through and let us do our overnight investigation there. Or overnight, but a few hours there. So we did the live investigation.

They came through so clutch. for us. So last minute for us. So once again, huge shout out to them. Also shout out to everybody that bought into the 50-50 raffle. We were able to raise a good chunk of money for the Winslow House and their restoration project, which is always ongoing, as they are in many of these older historic homes. So it was good. It was a good time. It was a great night. We got a lot of really cool activity. And we always, we're always nervous about these live investigations because you never know what you're going to get. And we're not going to fake it. So it just is what it is. And we did. We ended up getting a lot of really cool

interactions. We got videos of a lot of it. My wife Kate's been posting a few of them in Discord. So you can go check those videos out. We'll probably post more as well. We also had a really cool thing happen before the investigation started. Dave and I were talking to the caretaker of the Winslow House and we were just kind of going over things for the night. And she was like, you know, just be careful and everything. I'm like, don't worry. If anyone breaks anything, I'll bury them in the yard. And she goes, oh, I was just making a joke. She goes, oh, they wouldn't be the first one buried in the yard. And me and Dave were like, go on.

She told us this story of the Winslow House that we had never heard, basically, where one of the servants or slaves from years and years and years ago, obviously, was tried for killing her baby because they found it buried in the yard. and within a six-week span, they tried her, convicted her, and hanged her in Plymouth. So just that quick, and we know that her name was Betty. And I think this might be the first night that anyone ever tried to communicate with Betty, like just ever.

And as soon as we did that, we were getting a ton of responses there. So it was really cool to get that story just based off of a quick, joke before the investigation started and their experience that it was crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

Also, that team, like, this is not a place that does paranormal investigations a lot. I think there's been three that I know of total, and we were two of them. So, yeah, pretty exclusive sneak peek at the haunted situation going on there in Marshfield, Massachusetts. If you're more curious about the Winslow House, we did

do an investigation. We had a full episode on it. Actually, just a few weeks ago. So go back a couple episodes check out the marshfield episode and um yeah we made a few connections with what we think might have been betty uh $25 in super chat from pupa squatch who was also at the investigation says fan investigation fund so thank you so much appreciate that pupa squatch also an absolute pleasure to have pupa squatch in the building for both events he was at 11th and he was also at the at the at the good old investigation very helpful as usual uh he was at our block island investigation as well and you'd think this guy's done it a thousand times because he knows the questions

ask, you know, he has, he's like a pro out there. So, and then speaking of pros that were at the investigation, Brent Thomas from the paranormal portal, huge shout out to Brent. Brent had himself a weekend. We did the live event. He did his opening act. He went out there and talked to the crowd and rocked the place, did a great job. And then he also joined us during the paranormal investigation was an absolute rock star during that. Had a whole different style of investigating, which was so cool. So it brought a whole different element of professionalism into the investigation. which was cool. And then also joined us on a Monday Night Talk.

So we had an interview on 95.9 FMWATD. That aired last night. So we did a little investigation, I mean, an interview with Kevin Tachie from Monday Night Talk. So we'll pull the clip. I had posted a link to the live interview. Can I say an investigation?

Met an interview of Monday Night Talk. So a few people were able to tune in live and listen to that interview. But that was that. And then also, it's been a busy weekend, folks. We have a brand new episode on Talk as Jericho. So we were a guest once again on Chris Jericho's podcast. Talk is Jericho.

We talked about the Smurl Family Haunting and kind of the story behind the new conjuring movie, like the true story that was behind the movie. And we discussed that in length with Chris Jericho. So we look at something for something else to listen to. Check out Talk as Jericho. And yeah, the episode is live on all podcasting platforms. So go check that out. 20 bucks in the super chat from Matthew T says,

Rob, I'm disappointed. you're not wearing your Ohio shirt for this episode. That's weird. I haven't seen you wearing that. And then 10 gifted in Super Chat from Kitten Clown Dozer, who was also at the live event. So thank you so much for your generosity there. And won't the 50-50 raffle. Oh, yeah.

Well, while we're thanking people, I do want to take a quick moment to thank not only the people who came out to the events this weekend, but also the people who brought us gifts, which was really generous. We got gifts from Kitten Clown Dozer. She brought us some really cool photographs. We got gifts from Whisper who got us books and included my wife in that also, which was really nice. A couple of really funny books from Sam F as well, which got me a geography for dummies book.

And if we missed any gifts, thank you for those gifts as well.

And that was cool As well as Saki So we had a good time with that. And yeah, anyways, let's talk about some ghosts. So this place, it's got plenty of haunted stuff. We did stop by a few of these haunted locations as well as, oh, there's Brenton chat now. You just missed it. We just talked about you.

We just give you glorious praise for like 10 minutes straight. That's all over now and you missed it. Never happen again. Oh, Seth from Connecticut too, right? That counts. Played live music too, by the way. Seth on guitar. A lot of people to see him play and sing and even pops.

Pops got up there of little cameo performance and sang along. Jennifer from Connecticut as well. Yeah. All right. We'll just list everyone that came. Yeah. I just put on a list. Yeah.

Yes, but thank you all for traveling. It was actually like I feel like only a small portion of the room was actually from the area. So many people traveled to be there. Phil was there. Yeah. All right. Moving on. So, yeah, Newark is a fun place.

A lot of Wendy's. That's one thing. that we noticed in Ohio. Yeah. The worst smelling Wendy's of all time was in Ohio. Yeah, that was not Newark. That was on the way to Newark. But yep, that was awful.

I think Dave, we went out, we came out, because we just stopped there to just run to the bathroom real quick. We came out and told Dave, like, dude, that might be the worst smelling place we've ever been in. And it's a restaurant. And Dave's like, I got to go find out. He came back. He came back.

He said, I wish I didn't. I was like, I don't know why I did that. I don't know what I was expecting. Yeah. Matt says the Wendy's headquarters in Columbus. I believe it, dude. There's a Wendy's like on every street corner out there. It was unreal.

We actually looked it up, but like per capita, what state has the most Wendy's. And Ohio was in the top three in the United States because there's just so many Wendy's. Yeah, a ton of Wendy's. Right in the center of Newark, too, which kind of took away from it a little bit

because the center of Newark is so cool. Yeah, so all these historic buildings. And then there's a Wendy's and you're like, all right, whatever. Somebody in chat asked if we had pizza while we were in Ohio, and we did, and it was good. It brought the green. It was fine. It was not as good as our pizza here.

I didn't say it was putting words in my mouth. I didn't say it was as good as pizza out here, which would be a preposterous claim. But it was good. It was better than I was expecting. Yeah. We even took the crew from the Winslow House investigation out to Rafferties after to show them. That's right. What good pizza is.

Nobody stole anything. It was nice. It was good. I think the most hilarious part about this whole Rafferty's gig that we got going on is that they have no idea that we talk about them. No clue that we talk about them on the show, but that's fine. It is. I literally just accidentally banned Nightbot. So Recibees Nightbot.

Somebody unbanded Nightbot for me. I went to go delete the live show ticket link and I accidentally banned Nightbot forever. It's probably for the best Nightbot never show. up. Take that. Let's talk about Newark a little bit, though. I thought Newark, like, as a town, was a really cool setup. It really reminded me of the back-to-the-future town, you know, where, like, they have

the town square, and there's the big courthouse in the center of town, which just looms over everything. So downtown Newark was really cool. But there's tons of hauntings in this town. We won't even get to all of them. in this episode, but I think that some of the most prominent ones, I'd like to start with the cemetery because Cedar Hill Cemetery was a really cool place to go explore. We went there.

We walked around for a little bit. We knew what we were looking for. We were looking for that Baker mausoleum and the baby face. It was like we didn't know where it was going to be. And this is a massive cemetery. And this is like the third cemetery in a row that we just showed up, drove around a little bit, stopped, got out, be like, ah, there it is. Like, what are the odds? right where we stopped.

We did that in Veliska as well, like when we were looking for, we were parked right next to the graves, just on a whim. I mean, Valiska's a little bit smaller than this one, but yeah, the fact that we did that,

this one is crazy. I think we just have this cemetery intuition now. Once you start going to cemeteries, and you can kind of see the way that they were filled because they generally do go by year. And it was pretty easy to find. What was the one, Rob, You and I went to at night and we just happened upon the grave that we were trying to find.

Lizzie's, Lizzie Borden. Oh, was it Lizzie Borden? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, which is a huge cemetery. It's one of the biggest I've been to. Yeah, and we just like, look down and it's like, oh, there it is. Someone better call a building inspector and make sure it's handicap accessible. Yeah.

But yeah, the Cedar Hill Cemetery was, it had some really cool gravestones, some really cool statues. the Baker mausoleum, the legend of that where people go there and they knock on the door and they think they either hear like singing or humming or somebody knocking back occasionally from that mausoleum we were there in the middle of the day

we didn't hear anything but just seeing it was really cool. Tried it though. We did try it. We did try it. Gave a little knock. Stayed respectful but you know, nothing happened but it was still you could like see inside too.

Yeah. Yeah, you could. Good. Always creepy to see inside those. I've gone to a few where like the door sort of like broken open a little bit because of age or whatever, not not vandalism or anything. And you're just like a little scary. We learned recently that they don't keep the bodies in those. They're just built on top of the grave. They're still buried six feet down. No, that's, you're talking about the altars. We're talking about the mausoleums. Oh, okay. They do keep the bodies of the mausoleums. Yeah Some mausolems

I think some they still bury them around But some mosulams the bodies are Actually in there And the other thing at the cemetery is that baby face grave Which is very simple But very scary for a gravestone That Really good

Like just a really well-carved Sculpture Yeah 9999 in Superchat from Lockwood and companies He said, sorry I'm late. Also had so much fun at the live show. You guys are awesome. Absolute pleasure to have you.

And thanks again for the gifts. The books that we absolutely were not offended by whatsoever. Not at all. See how I saw read that? How come Lockwood & Company gets to keep their regular YouTube name and doesn't have the dumb handle? What did you do? Lockwood knows. Lockwood knows the ways.

Knows the ways. Knows the ways. Share your secrets. But we went and looked at that baby face grave. and no one looked at it as closely as you did that's right i did i did the thing that the locals say that you have to do which is get right up in there and stare at it for a minute which is what i did and then they say the face moves and i think it's an optical illusion because yeah when you stare at something for so long anything's going to look like it's moving when you start to

you know once you break that trance a little bit but it's still scary yeah it's Especially if you do that at night, almost like the same effect is like scrying. So if you're staring into a mirror with low light, you know, you can see your own face kind of morph a little bit of it. The same thing happens with that. There was some really cool architecture in the center of Newark as well. There was like these gargoyles by the bank that was on the corner that every time we walked by it, I just had to stop and stare at it. And it was especially creepy at night. This is just gargoyle.

There's just like looking over you. at night so just I miss that we used to have such cool architecture I was looking when I was walking through New York City last summer as well I was looking at some of the old buildings and they just had like these cool things and I wish we still kind of had that going on you know people still did that stuff this is me being my old man on my soapbox but well no it's true I mean you look at the old Victorian houses and now you're looking at new houses and especially like in the 90s and early 2000s Like houses were so ugly. Yeah. Just no character whatsoever, no shape. Just here's your rectangle, go live in it. Yeah, here's your box. Yeah.

Yeah. And now they're just building all these shops so that they can just repurpose them to whatever else it can be after whatever's in there fails. So it's just insane. In Ohio, they build them just to look like a Wendy's, just for inevitable future becoming a Wendy's. Yeah. Just so what I mean, we have dunks everywhere here, but Wendy's is like a weird choice. We're back on this. But yeah.

We always end up on food somehow. We do. We do always end up on food somehow. Other places that are haunted here, the Midland Theater has ghostly sightings. They have another theater. I think it's called the New York Players Club or something like that. And went got videos, but same idea. Just items moving, people hearing footsteps after dark, seeing footsteps would be weird.

That'd be alarming. could happen. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Imagine that. That would be cool, actually. Would it? Yeah, literally.

After the fact it would probably be cool. That would be seeing footprints, though, not footsteps. Yeah, well, semantics. Semantics, Jesse. Jesus. I think I was completely right. I don't think it's semantics. Anyways, moving on.

You have two haunted theaters here. You have the ghost of the captain. These are all hauntings. We might have to do a part two newer because we might have to go back to the prison and maybe we'll cover some of those a little bit more. But I think we need to talk about the Licking County Jail because there's a lot to cover there. We investigated it.

And sort of a dream come true for us to finally get to go investigate a prison. Yeah. To go to jail where the, where the cells don't walk. Go to jail on purpose. But it was, man, what a cool looking building, first of all. Speaking of architecture, like, what a just a different look. Like, you look at you tell you, like, this is a jail?

This is a prison. I know it's where the sheriffs lived as well, but it's just. It was not a prison, correct? It was a jail. Jail. Yeah. But at the time, I mean, people, would serve like shorter prison sentences there.

I don't know. Some of the people that they had there, I wonder if that was, I'd have to work into it, but if that was like their acting prison just because they didn't have an actual prison close by? No, I think it was just for, I think that from what I recall, it was just, you know, because they had some really big named criminals there serving, not necessarily serving time, but being held there while their trials were ongoing for major crimes. But I think once they were convicted, they were then moved to the actual prison. Right.

Yeah, we got enough people out in Ohio. We can probably do a group investigation there. That would be awesome. That would be cool. Yeah, we might have to do that in the future. But some of the prisoners that came through here, as you were alluding to, some of the stories are so wild and we didn't even tell all of them. One of the craziest stories, because there's not a haunting associated with it,

but I just want to tell this tale because it's insane. There was this farmer in Newark that had this girlfriend for you. years like i think it was over 20 years and he kept asking her to marry him and she kept saying no and so like over 20 years he's asking her every so often to marry him she's saying no one day he asked her to marry him and she finally said yes and as soon as she says yes he just kills her yeah i mean that story that is one of the ghosts oh he is one of the ghosts yeah oh So there is hauntings associated with it. Again, there's so many hauntings here that it's tough to keep track of all of them.

But that is a wild story. She should have just said no. Again. Yeah. I mean, in retrospect. Don't say yes. If someone asks you to marry them, just don't say yes. Yeah.

Sound advice. It's been Rob's motto his whole life. But that story's insane. There's so many stories here. I mean, we have to touch on the ones that I hit on in the video because they're just absolutely wild. And we had some experiences related to them. The Martin Kelly story in the solitary where I did my solo investigation, where he took his own life there with the straight razor. The Spirit Box session that I did in there, very clearly.

on one of the responses, you hear the response say Martin. 100% yeah. Which was shocking just how, how clear that response was. Yeah, and at the end it said Martin again, like as you were signing off. Yeah, so it said Martin again.

I think he also called me a dickhead, which was not cool. I think so. I was taunting him a little bit, though. I was I was rubbing in We were taunting the Cleveland Browns which is fair

I think it's fair game to taunt the Cleveland Browns they're not great not a good organization no not at all but that was a pretty cool investigation in the solitary cell

it's very cramped it's hard to even consider what other equipment to use in there because like if I put anything that's electronic in there I'm going to set it off, obviously, right? Because I'm just so...

You're just so confined. Yeah, there was really not much you could have used in there. Yeah. It really was like a stand-up shower. That's about the size of it. It was really... Didn't look like a lot of fun to be in. No.

It was not a lot of fun to be in. I mean, be held in... I was talking about your experience for 20 minutes. It was harrowing, Dave. All right. It was a harrowing experience. I also don't think the prisoners expected it to be fun. Like they finally get put in the minute. Wait, wait. Where's the playground? Solitary is a game. I thought that's what we were doing.

Give me a deck of cards. Yeah. So very strange, but great responses. Yeah. Great, great responses in there. and a lot of people took their life in this prison, which is shocking because, again, it's not, it's a jail, it's not a prison.

There's not a lot of people in there at one time. And just you hear story after story of it. But the craziest one in that respect is May Varner. Oh, yeah. Which, dude, I feel bad. for a lot of people that we've covered on this show.

But man. So she was, she was already trying to take too much medication and they pump her stomach. And after they pump her stomach, they bring her to the Licking County Jail, not to arrest her, but just to sort of keep an eye on her.

Like the drunk tank. Right. Make sure she's okay and let her go in the morning when she comes to. They put her in a cell on the fourth floor. The fourth floor is where they held all the women prisoners. in this jail. And they put her in there

and 45 minutes later, the guard comes to check on her. And she's on fire. She had somehow got a match in there and lit herself on fire on the fourth floor. And she didn't die right away, but she succumbed to her injuries later at the hospital because of them. And how she manages to do that with a,

match, first of all, is crazy. The fact that nobody discovered it for 45 minutes either is wild. I understand not doing your rounds every two seconds, but you would think with a fire going on. Yeah. Especially with, yeah, and like a inmate like, quote unquote, inmate like that, but a person like that

that should have been on watch for that sort of thing. Fair. You know, maybe they had just assumed like, well, you know, she's what's she going to do in the cell? but I mean it happened at that jail all the time the prisoners would use the bed sheets and tie themselves up by the rungs you know so that kind of stuff happens there yeah

so she's rumored to haunt her former cell and there and that's actually where we did our group investigation myself Dave Jesse and so if we're in that cell we also did a spare box session in there we had the grid going on in there and we got some responses we don't, I don't think it was, well, I do think it was May, but I felt like we were talking to two spirits because we kept getting the voice of a Virginia coming through as well. But the, the eriest response we got in that room was, it said burning twice.

Yeah. In response to our question. And it was like back to back. So you heard it say burning back to back. back to back. And that was, I don't know. Yeah.

Yeah. Just caught me off guard. Yeah. It was definitely one of the more on the nose EVPs that we've caught. And the ones that are on the nose are always more unsettling, but this one in particular for obvious reasons.

Yeah. And we got communications throughout that entire spare box session. One of the other cool things that they had in there was they had this music box as a trigger object. I don't know if it was, I can't remember if it was exactly associated with me. I think they just brought it in as an item to play. I thought it was her music box.

Was it her music box? Why else would it be a trigger object? I don't think it was. We just decided this is a trigger object for you post facto. Like, I don't, maybe, I don't know. I do. An item like that, I mean, why would she have brought it to, maybe it came from her house or something like that, but I would assume that's just a gift that was left for her.

Maybe. Oh, that's true. Yeah. So we were using that as well, which just as creepy as our music box as it was playing and you're in the cell. And it's going off. But I thought that investigation, I believe that was our first investigation that night and it really kind of set the tone for the evening.

Yep. And we were able to get an experience right away, which was cool. Yeah. No, that was definitely good to set the pace. And that was, you know, it's crazy how many just crazy hauntings are in this place. I mean, I guess it's not that crazy because it's a jail. But we had, you know, we started the night off with that. You'd be like, oh, you started the night with the big one, huh?

It's like, no, not really. There's just so much. There's the lady who dismembered her husband. There's the guy. the kid who was lynched. There was the, there were so many. And there was the milkshake murderer.

Yeah, forgot to even bring him. I mean, I didn't forget to bring him up in the opening. I only had so much time. But yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He was in there as well. Yeah, his name was George Washington Burton. And on a visit to the 1020 pizza and sandwich shop in the small village of Jersey, Ohio. He ran into 26-year-old Wanda Peterman, much to her dismay.

Peterman took Burton's order for a middle of, milkshake. He paid and started to leave. Everything seemed to be mind-numbingly normal, but Burton realized that his milkshake had not been filled to the line, and he was one very dissatisfied customer. He informed Peterman that she had cheated him on his milkshake, and he'd be back with his gun. She did not take him seriously, but unfortunately for her, he returned with the gun, and it was a shotgun, and he killed her with a single shot to the chest over a milkshake not being completely filled filled yeah an unreasonable man some say yeah i hope that they called the sandwich police to investigate that one yes very much so i don't know story like just

the worst dude ever yeah like what i mean what a weird thing to make you snap right because there's these people that snap over stuff and you're like traffic you're like sucks reasonable Kind of. Maybe, but yeah, I don't know. I really don't feel like she wronged him in any way. Not even in a way, like to the magnitude of worthy of being shot. I really don't feel like he was wronged in any way. Well, he was wrong.

He didn't get all his milkshake, Dave. So I understand it a bit. I mean, maybe be like, hey, could you add a little more? Top this off for me. Maybe not come back with a shotgun. Yeah, fix the situation as where you generate. should go with that. Shockgun's like the fourth choice in that situation, I think.

Donnie says hopefully Jesse does not serve milkshakes at his restaurant. I have been threatened to be murdered for much less. Yeah, yeah. Most of the time is for no reason whatsoever. But, you know, it's all right. It's the city. These things happen. Yeah.

But so that's another one. And there's the stories just continue and continue and continue in this place. Jesse investigated the sheriff's office in the Lillican County Jail. I had a lot of fun with absolutely nothing happening. Sorry, go ahead. I think I speak for the rest of everybody when I say, explain yourself. I thought I explained myself pretty well.

I put on the hat, I put on the sheriff hat, I tried to get in the zone. and yeah I had set up a bunch of cat balls, little motion detectors around the room had the yes-no box I believe and had a voice recorder going and just got absolutely nothing so I entertained myself for an hour and yeah

it was pretty entertaining I don't know go watch the video we cut out a lot of it so keep it out for a blooper reel because I didn't shut up the entire time I just kept going and it was ridiculous but what we did get a little bit of activity with was me and Sof had gone into the, I believe, the third floor, and we were using the SLS camera,

which you can get false positives on the SLS camera from time to time, but this didn't really make much sense. So you could see me, it's brief, but you see me go all the way down the, down the catwalk there, and I'm going, and I'm just kind of, because you can look into each cell from that hallway. And as I was doing that, there was nothing, nothing, nothing, and then there was one cell where I got two figures. I was like, oh, interesting. So I go back to that, and they're still there. And it kind of looked like one was like climbing up. And we were told that in that cell in particular,

there were inmates who had used the bed sheets to end their own lives from the bars. So they would tie them up to the bars and then just kind of just get hanged that way. And it really looked like the figures that we caught on the SLS were like climbing up the bars, which was really creepy to see. So, I mean, anytime you get a figure on the SLS camera, it's doing something that looks really creepy. Like it's like it's never a natural movement because it's not capturing an actual human being doing actual natural movements.

So it was interesting. And there was two figures that were there pretty much the entire time. And yeah, it was cool. And then we went into the cell and recorded a bit, but we didn't really get anything else besides those figures on that third floor. So for the most part, besides our group investigation for me personally, I didn't get a lot. But just the aesthetics of that building, the size of that. building.

Capturing those figures was cool. And then in our group investigation, we got plenty. But yeah, absolutely nothing in the sheriff's office. I'm just not to say that nothing would happen in the sheriff's office. It's just maybe whatever spirits might haunt that place we're in a different part of the building at the time. Or maybe I was just using a wrong set of equipment. So I would probably, I would definitely go back into the sheriff's office.

You can't stop me from wearing the hat again. I would wear the hat again. I would enjoy wearing the hat again. I would look great wearing the hat. So the hat would be on my head while I do next to the hat. investigation likely for the entire time that I'm there I'd be wearing that hat. There's nothing you could do to stop me. I'd be wearing the hat. Hats going on the head.

All right, got to do it. Got to do it. All right. I hope I made myself clear. Yes. Okay. Crystal. Dave, do you want to tell us about your solo investigation?

It was in the sheriff's living quarters, I believe. And I'm pretty positive that there was three untimely deaths of sheriffs who lived here. Yeah. There was a lot of potential for, activity. I use the spirit box, which usually is pretty good for gathering EVPs and whatnot. But I actually didn't catch much there. There were a couple of answers that could have been, they could have been intelligent responses, but I chalked this one up as mostly not, not the most productive, but not the most evidence. So it is what it is, but I try to communicate with the, they have a really

annoying ghost named Dave. So of course, I had to try and communicate with him, but wasn't lucky there. You got, no, that's not true. You got, I think you got a really good responses. You got a full conversation at one point, like with multiple responses. So, well, now, again, this is edited footage, so we're editing it down to five minutes out of the hour or so long that Dave was in that room trying to get communications. So while you got a lot, I thought you had a conversation that made sense.

So it was, I don't remember the exact, but the exact way the conversation went, but it was something along the lines of like, did you work here? And it said, like, I retired here. And you're like, how long ago did you work here? It was like in the 20s and then something, something. And then it was like exactly or something like that. So it was like a, it wasn't just blips, which we get all the time. We're like, ooh, we got the word burning or we got the word demon or whatever. Like we've gotten in other ones.

Like this one was continuous. And it also made sense as the conversation. conversation kept going. So I mean, I understand that other than that, there was, there wasn't too much. But I thought that little span of like three back and forths was, uh, it made sense it went together. It's pretty cool. Do you have a terrifying laugh? Oh, that was so creepy. I forgot. Okay. I don't remember. I didn't this episode aired on Friday. We were busy. I didn't get a chance to rewatch it. So you got a terrifying laugh that like when I was going through the footage, it scared the shit out of me. I was like, oh, ho. Yeah, because it was like multiple voices like layer. Yeah. And it was a really creepy laugh. And it wasn't a natural laugh either. And if this was, if this is anyone natural's laugh in chat, you need to go to a doctor.

Because this thing is, is, it was like, wha ha ha ha ha. You're just like, what do we do it here? It sounded like you're going through Spirit Halloween and like you triggered like a haunted, you know, like thing that you would hang up. Yeah, where it just like motions is like ha ha ha ha. Like it was, yeah, it was a really creepy laugh. So you got some good stuff there. Yeah. There was even a response that said, where's Jesse when you were in there as well?

Yeah, take your word for it. Thanks, Dave. Sorry. Well, let's talk about our, well, first of all, let's talk about Carl Leatherington, and then let's talk about our investigation on the second floor. Hopefully, Dave remembers a little bit of that investigation because I did catch, I didn't get through the entire episode, but I caught that one. So, yeah.

Thanks for watching, Dave. So Carl Atherington is like the most famous story that comes out of Licking County Jail because it's in a lot of terms, the most tragic. You have a 17-year-old kid who was trying to go into the army. They turned him down. The army turned him down. So he was getting ready to go home. And at the train station, these prohibitionists agents were recruiting people. He signed up, faked his age.

He was 17. He said he was 22. gets hired. He goes to Newark, Ohio, to shut down some of these shops, which people did not take kindly to. He goes to a former police chief's store that is selling alcohol, tries to get it shut down. And an altercation breaks out.

He ends up shooting the guy. They take him to jail. This dude was like, beloved in the town, obviously. And they form a mob. And it's like thousands of people deep. And he's being held on the second floor of the looking kind of jail. The mob shows up. And if you look at the newspaper articles from back in the day, people resigned, like police resigned over this situation and everything.

But they essentially let him write. They let the mob right into the jail. They open the doors for him and let them just go up there and grab. Carl, the mob goes up there. They're beating them with hammers. They're hitting them in the jail cell. Rip him out of the jail. take him to the town square and string him up.

He says, as he's leaving, tell my mother I died, trying to do my duty basically. Terrible stuff. Terrible, terrible stuff. And many people believe he now haunts the second floor of the Lincoln County Jail and his cell. So that's where me and Dave set up to do our investigation together was there. And we decided to use the music box and the REMPON.

and we were sitting in the hallway using it. And we were getting some responses here and there. And we were trying to speak with Carl when we did this. And one thing we ended up doing was we decided to switch our tactic like halfway through. We're like, well, everyone tries to communicate with Carl. What about the people that actually committed the crime? Because if you're haunting somewhere, maybe you're haunting doing the worst thing you ever did in your life, right? which is going up and, you know, ending the life of a 17-year-old kid.

So as soon as we switched and we were like, were you the ones responsible for this, our devices started going nuts. The REM pod really started hitting all the time. The music box went off so much to the point that I think we reset it two or three times, Dave. We kept shutting it off. We were like, is this just not calibrating properly? And we were calibrated and then it would start. And then there was that weird part where it actually went faster.

Yeah. First time I've ever seen to do that. And only time so far. So we even got to the point where we were able to get it to respond with a yes on the music box and a no on the REM pod. We were like asking questions and getting responses. There was a few times that it would hit both. But I think we might have been talking to multiple spirits at that point. Yeah.

That's what tipped us off to the possibility. like, wait, we could be just surrounded by spirits. Yeah. And you have multiple devices there. Different spirits could be interacting with different devices. Yep. And that's the investigation from the Licking County Jail that's going to stick with me going forward. I really opened my eyes.

And I think this is sort of what happened at the Winslow House too, where we get this story. And now we're trying to communicate with somebody that doesn't really try to get communicated with quite a bit. it because everyone that goes to the Licking County Jail tries to communicate with Carl. I'm not saying that they don't get activity. Some people might. But I watched a couple investigations on the Licking County Jail before we went there. And I watched a few since. And I haven't seen anyone tried to communicate with anyone that went there and stormed the actual jail.

And I'm not saying we're the first that did it. Maybe others have. But it seemed to really like kick a hornet's nest when we were in there. So it really helped me see that when we go do these investigations, that if we're not getting activity from the person where we would expect to get activity from in that room, if there's another angle to play, make sure we're broaching that angle, right?

Like make sure that, well, just because this person's on here doesn't mean that another family member couldn't have been here or another friend or person or, whoever it just it really opened my eyes to um try to take a different approach to an investigation when you're not getting as much and not to just throw your hands up and walk away you know yeah sure to shift gears and if you think about like the wins of the house like you mentioned where we're we're probably the first paranormal team to attempt to contact betty and we got so much communications right away that sounded like it was coming from betty that maybe that's a spirit that's been

haunting there and has been waiting for someone to acknowledge her presence. And maybe we did for the first time. So good question from test says out of all the haunted places that you visited this year, where do you want to go back the most? For me, it's McIntyre Villa in Atchison, Kansas. This was one of the coolest locations we visited. We didn't get to investigate it. And it's one that we haven't really, we covered it on the, on the Atchison episode, but we didn't get to investigate it. So of all of them, that one was probably the most impressive looking, and we didn't get to investigate it. So that's probably the one for me.

Strangely enough, for me, it's probably the jail, actually, because of all the investigate, like for me, I didn't get that much, but I felt like I, there's so much left to investigate. I mean, there's floors of jail cells that we weren't able to hit because we were limited on time. So I'd like to go back there, spend more time in the cells in, in, in, in, see what I can get because I do believe it's a very haunted place and judging by the communications that we did get and that you guys got. I'm like, damn, I missed out. I missed out by sticking myself in that sheriff's office all night and not really getting anything. But

I'm also not opposed to going back into the sheriff's office, probably wearing the hat again. I don't know. It's up in the air on how I feel about that. But maybe going in there with a different set of equipment and see if I can get something different. Different load out. Yeah, grab a different load out and see what we get. that the prison the prison is the one I would want to do like with listeners if we could do it

just I mean just because of the size right it's it would be tougher to do some of these allocations yeah that and melvin would be fine with a group as well oh that's a good point Malvern would be pretty fine with a group as well I mean my favorite location that we went to and I have to we have to review all the footage

over the next two days because we're dropping the investigation on Friday is the Valiska house. Like it just because I've always been obsessed with that case, so that was like a dream location to go visit. If I wanted to go back and investigate a place, though, I think that we just have unfinished business at the Sally House. And I think we would have to redo that.

But that's probably a ways away before we can actually make ourselves back to Kansas because we need to go check out so many other places. as well. True. Yeah. But we can talk about some of this more, but before we do, do you guys have any final thoughts on the Licking County Jail and Newark? Really, really, really cool location, beautiful building on the outside and then the inside, obviously, it's a jail. So it's beautiful, but still one of the most. It's still cool. It's well up kept. Yeah, it is, it is kept well and it's just one of the, just optically the coolest locations that we have been able to investigate gate. Yeah, so just for reference and for audio listeners, go check out the video here and then obviously go check out the follow investigation video. We brought some lighting. So you had some red up lighting in some of the cells. But for the most part, that ominous red glow is just the exit signs. It's so dark that the exit signs light up the whole hallway red and we're like, this is cool as hell. We still did some lighting ourselves anyways. But overall, like the red glow on each of them is just the exit sign. But it does so much to make the place more horrible.

terrifying. Yeah. This is also the episode that we've done the most work for an opening ghost story. Yeah. Yeah. Nicely done, gentlemen. One of my favorites. It came out really good. Yeah. So if you guys like that opening go story, we put a lot of work into that one for the video. Yeah. I took a hacksaw to a chicken thigh for that. Yeah. That's probably on the being on YouTube for being gory, but we'll plead with him. Show them the real video. Show them it was chicken. You got plenty of cooking videos up here. Yeah, exactly. that's a good point. Yeah, so I just thought it was such a cool location.

I think it's one you can do with a big group. The only thing if you do it with a big group, I was a little mad at myself because as I was watching Jesse's investigation, you could hear me while me and Dave were doing our investigation on a completely different floor. Yeah, it is very echoey. Very, very echoy. So be cognizant of that if you go there with some sort of large, group. But overall it was too big to do one investigation at a time. It was just we couldn't.

Right. Yeah. You, those big locations, you just can't, you can't. It's not like the Sally house where a solo investigation, you go put somebody in one place and everyone else goes outside, these big locations, because you're trying to hit all these rooms. You're sticking people in different places. Like you're trying to do probably two. We usually do two investigations at a time when we're doing that. But yeah, such a cool place. Probably a fine place in Ohio. Fine.

It's fine. It's fine. I liked Newark. I thought there was actually a good experience overall. I liked the little town square. I thought it was nice. And after driving through, what was a Columbus? Or no, where do we fly in?

Cleveland. Yeah, Cleveland. We went to that little. Alleged. haunted restaurant or whatever it's called. Yeah. Cleveland's, I think it was a haunted house restaurant.

Yeah. I think right. And then, you know, driving through Cleveland was Cleveland. Newark was nice. Yeah. But yeah, do you guys have anything else you want to hit on or do you want to?

I think we're good. Yeah, I think we, yeah, that should pretty much do it. Yeah, if you're in, If you're in Ohio, if you're in Newark, swing by the Licking County Jail, book a tour, book a investigation if you have time.

And we'll see about doing one of those in the future because that's one of those locations we can definitely do with the group. And it turns out our hometown ghost stories investigation crew is really good at what they do. Even though like everyone that came out on Saturday was like most of them, I think, was first time investigating. But everyone conducted themselves as professionals and knocked it out of the park. So much fun. Got to do more. Yeah. There's, we've been dropping some of the,

Kate's been dropping some of the clips in Discord of what we got in the Winslow House. And we got some really good responses. There was a really good one from when we thought we made contact with Betty, because we asked directly, Betty, are you here with us? And as clear, one of the clearest DVPs that we've got, just said, I am here, a woman's voice, I am here. And everyone freaked out. It was great.

really cool video check it out in discord if you're not a part of our discord you're missing out join us yeah there was another one where uh kate was talking about either you or brent going to go do a dowsing rod session she's like i think you went to go do the dowsing rods and you hear a communication and says don't do the dousing rods we're like whoa that's so clear and so like it was right after and she wasn't even talking to the spirits at the time she was just talking to someone else like oh yeah they did we do a thousand it's so crazy i said don't do that tonight But yeah, but going back and listening to it, I heard it say dowsing rods. Like it sounds like I said, don't do the dowsing rods.

So again, these spirit box communications could be a little subjective, but you know, kind of hear what you hear. But that was really cool. Join Discord and go see for yourself. Popa Squatch just posted a link. Yeah. Cool. Well, that's going to do it for us.

That's going to do it for Newark, Ohio. We'll be back Halloween night where we'll be dropping our Velisca investigation. And then immediately after that ends, we'll be going live. you'll be redirected right to it if you're watching live. And we're going to discuss our Valiska House investigation show. Join us then. Watch some horror movies. Watch weapons.

That'll be our next horror movie. Well, season of the witch will drop first. Well, the next one that we have to record. Season of the Witch. Controversial. We had a big arguing about it after the live show. I know. We did.

And you were wrong again. It's just crazy. I wasn't. I wasn't wrong, just someone else disagreed with me. I'm confused with it. You're wrong. You're wrong. All right.

Moving on. Oh, yeah. I have a great review that we got sent and they even emailed it to us just to make sure that we got it. But it did come through. And this is on Apple. This is from Chef Spitey. And it's titled Podcast Goats. I've been listening to these guys for over a year now.

Took me some time to catch up, but now started over and listening to them all again. I have an hour commute early in the morning, so having a spooky podcast to listen to is perfect. Listen to many different podcasts, and this one is truly the best. The production is spot on. The research is thorough and informative, except when Dave is reviewing his own investigation. What makes this podcast so special is the rapport between them. You can tell they really have an interest in what they do. and the fact they do everything from research, editing, making videos, and original music,

all while maintaining full-time jobs. It sounds like I wrote this, all while maintaining full-time jobs and families. I respect that working two jobs for 80 hours a week myself. The variety of content from ghost stories to movie reviews to celebrity hauntings, and so much more is top-notch. The connection they have with their viewers and listeners is unparalleled. Maybe one day I'll write to share weird things that have happened to me, but until then, I'll keep listening and sharing with everyone I know

to listen also. Yes, and please share with others for them to listen to us because that's what helps keep the show going. The more listeners, the better. Just for the record, I was right. Halloween 3 is good. Crystal,

Crystal has no. Crystal, we'll argue about this later because that's wrong. No, she's correct. No, it's incorrect. It's a bad movie. She's correct about that, and she's correct about the strange belly button that you have sitting down there.

Who knows where it is right now? It's moving around. All right, let's thank our VIPs on Patreon, starting with Wyatt Fox. We have Donnie, Karen S, stuck at work on a spooky Tuesday.

They'll spare Rob when they take over it. My chat GPT's name is Poe and we have a good report. I also saw your little, when you asked chat GPT to give it him,

analysis of based on everything that you've ever said to it. It was like, I am abused. He's mean to me. They had a picture of itself, which is like a little blockhead computer thing, just crying. Rob's saying, make it better, do better, make it better. So I don't know about all that. The way Rob's laughing, I think that's a true story. That's horrifying.
