Morgan and Katy are back with their usual frightening fun! Morgan is moving this week and was not interested in covering a a paranormal tv show where a new home turns out to be a hell house, so she chose an episode of Rescue Mediums (which is already pretty lighthearted) where the people have lived in their hell house a good long while.

It’s the Rescue Mediums’ first brush with the demonic, and its a really good time.

We love you! We will come out on the other side of this!!

Sometimes, oftentimes, paranormal television shows are too good to be true. And when fake psychic Derek Acorah is involved, they always are. But that doesn’t mean the insane Antiques Roadshow/paranormal investigation inspired television series Antiques Ghostshow shouldn’t be thoroughly picked apart for our enjoyment.

This is truly a bonkers episode, made by two people slowly losing their minds in the Camp Roanoke bunker. However it’s lighthearted and fun, so enjoy if it’s what you need right now ❤

Cape Cod has a long history of sea-faring men, and many of its original homes were built to house sea captains. The men are long dead, but their homes are still occupied, and ghosts of the past make themselves known to these current occupants. Katy reads from Ghosts, Myths and Legends as told to the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth, a collection of ghost stories from the new residents of these saltbox homes.

Katy tells the disturbing tale of the Phelps Mansion on Elm St. in Stratford, CT. Not your typical haunting, this is one of those stories where the claims are so incredible it’s hard to believe people in the 1850s had to deal with it. However, it was corroborated by many journalists and visitors, so listen to the Phelps’s tale and decide for yourself.

2020 is upon us! But the future is spooky so Morgan took us to the past. Well, kind of. Morgan is the story teller this week and she’s chosen Amish Haunting to bring us into the new decade, which is appropriate because Morgan and Katy are very much old village women from 1743 so we feel comfortable with modern people who slaughter their own pigs. Listen, laugh, and be uncomfortable but never forget, there ain’t no happy endings in Amish country.

Morgan takes us to Kentucky where wild demonic-seeming activity plagues a couple at their wits end. Paranormal State arrives to investigate what they believe to be a new case but it becomes clear that this demon is not new to them, but has followed them from a notorious case they covered 6 months previous. So back to Illinois and to Lara they go, for a final round with the demon that calls itself Six.

Katy pays Morgan back for her new fear of aliens with this tale of hardcore demonic possession. We join Paranormal State on their infamous episode, “I Am Six”, where a colorful cast of characters align to try to dispel a legion of demons calling itself Six. Katy takes us through the episode moment by moment until the end….or IS IT?? 

Morgan watched the alien episode of Haunted on Neflix so Katy didn’t have to and she’s here to tell the tale. Listen and hear how a woman has been plagued almost her entire life not by spirits, but by long grey creatures. She can’t remember anything of her abductions until she’s triggered in a doctor’s office and it all comes rushing back…

It’s our Halloween Special!! Katy and Morgan kick it off by reading surprise true reddit ghost stories gathered by Ian, Katy’s boyfriend, who joins them for the spookiest, most fun episode of the year. Then comes trivia from the three Stephen King films of Stephenkingtoberfest: 1408, Needful Things, and Pet Semetery. Finally, Katy reads a couple wonderful listener stories sent to us by our campers. It’s a hoot and a holler and a half this Halloween, so prepare to giggle and scream with your favorite counselors.

Katy uses Celebrity Ghost Stories to tell the story of Dan Cortese and Jillian Barberie’s unbelievable encounters with the paranormal. Both have powerful guardian loved ones, but one story has a much more sinister bent. And afterwards, Katy and Morgan discuss Pet Semetery! The most recent addition to Stephen Kingtoberfest here at camp!

Morgan takes us to a swamp town in Louisiana where almost all of the residents perished in a hurricane in the 1800s. A freak storm? Or an act of revenge from a voodoo priestess? Either way, something spooky is lurking in them swamps.

And after the ghost stories are all told and spooked, we discuss Needful Things! The most recent of our Stephen Kingtoberfest lineup!

Katy takes us to the battlefield and orphanage of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where the bloodiest conflict of the Civil War played out. Listen as she gives chilling accounts from tour guides and ghost hunters alike.

It’s also the first episode of Stephen Kingtoberfest! Where Katy and Morgan watch and discuss a Stephen King film adaptation after the ghost stories are done and dusted. This week is 1408!

Morgan is traveling, so enjoy this newly edited, absolutely hilarious, and absolutely terrifying episode.

Katy covers this famously violent and wild location from the occurrences that made it famous in the 60’s to the Most Haunted team’s fateful recent investigation that left physical and mental scars on some who participated. So listen, if you dare, to the horrifying story of the Black Monk of Pontefract! All knocking, all banging, all screaming, all dancing!

Morgan takes us to a cabin deep in a Pennsylvania forest where unexplained things go bump in the night. The residents are hoping it’s a departed family member, but when research reveals a gruesome accident nearby, no one knows what to think. Is it simply a loving guardian? Or a person whose life was ripped away, frantically looking for a home?

Enjoy this hilarious episode from our archives as Morgan travels–

Morgan is taking us to Sin City for an exorcism with an all-star cast of the Ghost Adventures, a Bishop, and a Nun! But in this terrifying home where a spirit has allegedly already taken a life, they’re going to need as much religious fire power as they can muster.

Morgan takes us to Florida where we meet a couple who have been terrorized by growling and flute music for years. At their wits end, they’ve called on a paranormal group to figure out the origin of the strange haunting. Will the activity end up being a non-threatening family member? Or something %100 darker and creepier? Find out!

Katy has returned from her New England road trip with a tale from ye olde England! Using Haunted Homes as her guide, she tells of the plight of the Perkiss family who have been experiencing phenomena for two decades. Sometimes comforting and nice, other times downright demonic, what will the show’s medium, Mia Dolan, have to say? Find out!

Katy and Morgan are travelling so we’re reposting a wonderful episode from November about a legend in Maine, where Katy went! So tune in for this hilarious and spooky time.

It’s time Morgan and Katy addressed a truly fascinating and long dismissed element of paranormal activity: the weather. Namely, fog. Lifted from an episode of American Supernatural featured on the Weather Channel, Katy takes us through the legend of Catherine’s Hill, the story of a forlorn and possibly nefarious lady who haunts a coastal Maine road. And as a special treat, she reads a truly terrifying listener story. Not terrifying because of the spirit itself, but because of what might have happened if the spirit hadn’t intervened. So buckle yourself in for a ride through Black Woods road where you might encounter Catherine, or worse–FOG!

Taken from The Dead Files, Katy tells of a family driven out of their ancestral home by something dark and dangerous. But when a detective and a medium investigate, that something comes into focus as being even more dark, dangerous, and powerful than anyone imagined. It leaves you wondering, after the history is revealed, if the home should even continue to stand at all.

Morgan is buzzed and Katy is tired and that means that this episode is especially ridiculous and fun so it’s perfect that Morgan should choose to revisit a ridiculous and fun show, Portal to the Unknown. She talks mostly of the Dagg family, a charming little clan, who in the 1890s had some very strange, and frankly smelly, paranormal trouble.

 

Katy recalls Most Haunted’s journey through the abandoned wing of Yorkshire’s Saltmarshe Hall, a massive regency manor home with extremely active spirits. Listen as the Most Haunted team unseals a floor of the abandoned wing that hasn’t been touched since it was closed in the 1930s, and the terror and hilarity that ensues.

Morgan returns with the wonderful, spooky, and undoubtedly funny story of the Donnelley Clan, a violent little family who settled in Canada in the 19th Century. Their grim exploits and the “justice” they were ultimately served form the basis of a haunting that continues to this day. Throw in a terrifying listener story and this episode has it all.

Katy dives deep into a fascinating state (and a fascinating dialect) in this episode from camp. Listen for old Maine folktales and lore as well as true crime and cover-ups; get to the bottom of a mysterious death, and a mysterious leg. An ill-fated young couple tending a lighthouse, a corrupt town, and a witch’s curse await you. Sometimes desolate and isolating, sometimes gorgeous and vibrant, take a peek into the scary stories our most northeastern state has to offer.

Morgan tells Katy about the famously haunted Ancient Ram Inn in England, where things go more than bump in the night. Morgan uses the Ghost Adventures as her guides through this almost thousand year old structure which they seemed only too eager to leave. So turn on your lanterns and finish your s’mores as you learn about the colorful characters that own…and haunt…and investigate this fascinating little place.

The eternal resting place for over 80,000 people, some of whom have names you might recognize, the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is an american landmark of old Hollywood glamour as well as despair. Listen as Katy recounts the story of silent film star Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s fateful Labor Day weekend party as well as the story of Rudolph Valentino’s cursed ring. But it wouldn’t be Scary Stories from Camp Roanoke without some ghost appearances as well.

 

In this episode Katy uses the Rescue Mediums as her guides through a Halifax home that’s much more than meets the eye. A lost and confused little girl spirit, a jovial drunk spirit, and a living tenant who keeps a pretty fun terrifying secret in his room. But nothing is too much for the Rescue Mediums, and if there are spirits that need help, they’re gonna get it.

Morgan gives what is hopefully the final update on her haunted home, as well as a spooky tale of a ghost child terrifying a stay at home mom. After researching the history of the home, she reveals the dark and traumatic past of her son’s “imaginary friend”. But will she be able to help him move on??? Listen and find out!!

With Mardi Gras coming up, Katy takes us to 4800 Canal St. in New Orleans to a former death emporium and tells the rich and morbid history of the mansion as well as the activity that continues to the present. But be warned, this episode contains EVPs (courtesy of the people at  http://themortuary.net/) which are truly unsettling. If that only excites you, on you go dear listener!

 

Katy covers this famously violent and wild location from the occurrences that made it famous in the 60’s to the Most Haunted team’s fateful recent investigation that left physical and mental scars on some who participated. So listen, if you dare, to the horrifying story of the Black Monk of Pontefract! All knocking, all banging, all screaming, all dancing!

Morgan tells of a haunted private home where a woman’s toxic mother has made good on a promise to haunt her after she died. Throw in an affinity for fire and a guttural hate scream and you’ve got a real scary story that won’t disappoint for our campers.Email your stories at letterstocamp@gmail.com and we might read them on the show!

 

It’s Morgan’s turn, and she’s chosen the infamous Sallie House as her topic. Supposedly haunted by a young girl who died tragically in the house, the sinister goings-on in the home are definitely suspicious. But is it an innocent, unlucky 7 year old? Or something darker? Tune in to not find out! Because we’re not psychics! But man do we speculate.

Katy turns to the amazing weather channel’s research for American Supernatural to tell of one of the OG witches in the woods who inspired many films: Moll Dyer. This witch is said to haunt a small town in Maryland, where many of the local residents have much to say about their experiences. Tune in for a healthy dose of puritans and facts about the weather!!

It’s time Morgan and Katy addressed a truly fascinating and long dismissed element of paranormal activity: the weather. Namely, fog.

So buckle yourself in for a ride through Black Woods road where you might encounter Catherine, or worse–FOG!

A lighter tale to cleanse our pallets from the super scary most recent episodes, Katy takes us to the small New York town of Sleepy Hollow and explores the story that brings it fame, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving, as well as the experience of English ghost hunting team Most Haunted (low on equipment, high on screams). Is the Sleepy Hollow cemetery really haunted? Is drawing alone in a cemetery actually weird? Is Brian the medium made up of cord, or is it rope? Listen and find out!
