Inherited Hauntings

They say Halloween is when the veil between the living and the dead grows thin; when whispers become voices, and shadows feel a little too alive. In this special Halloween episode, Nancy and Lindsey explore the true origins of Halloween from ancient Celtic rites and soul cakes to the modern-day candy rush.

But it’s not all history and folklore. Lindsey takes us inside her eerie visit to the Lizzie Borden House on Halloween night, where a single photo captured two spectral faces staring from a bedroom window. Coincidence… or proof that something still lingers behind the glass?

Join us as we cross between worlds, unpack centuries of superstition, and ask the question: what really happens when the veil thins?

What kind of haunting makes cops, priests, and even paranormal rock star Zak Bagans run for the hills? Welcome to Gary, Indiana; home of the infamous Demon House where a mother and her three children allegedly faced an infestation so dark it crawled across the ceiling, left oil dripping from the walls, and required three separate exorcisms to calm the chaos.

This isn’t your average ghost story. It’s a documented nightmare backed by police reports, social workers, and one terrified priest. The case was so disturbing that Bagans himself bought the house — and then demolished it — claiming the evil inside was too strong to contain.

Join Mom Nancy and daughter Lindsey as they break down the chilling evidence, the skeptics’ takes, and the lingering question: was this truly a portal to hell… or just the most cursed Airbnb in America?

Buckle up — because in Gary, Indiana, even the drywall was possessed.

What if the game you played… started playing you back? 👀

This week on Inherited Hauntings, we’re testing our nerves (and maybe our common sense) with the internet’s most spine-tingling rituals from the Midnight Game and The 11 Mile Drive to Sweet Tooth, The Answer Man, and a few “lucky” traditions like Rabbit Rabbit that might not be so lucky after all.

Are these games just sleepover dares gone digital, or could they actually open something on the other side? Mom (Nancy) thinks they’re cautionary tales wrapped in teenage bravado. Lindsey thinks they might just be invitations… with consequences. 😬

Expect creepy lore, skeptical laughter, a few questionable life choices, and plenty of ghostly giggles as we explore why humans love to flirt with fear, and what happens when fear flirts back.

🕯️ Because some games don’t end when you stop playing.

When a UFO case is so convincing that it sparks a squabble between the U.S. Air Force and a small-town police department, you know something weird went down. Welcome to The Exeter Incident of 1965, one of the most credible and chilling UFO encounters in American history.

It all started with a huge craft with red flashing lights hovering over a New Hampshire field, encountered by a lone pedestrian and later confirmed by Officers Eugene Bertrand and David Hunt. What followed was a night of frantic reports, rattled cops, and an Air Force explanation that made absolutely no one happy.

In this episode, we dig into:

• 👀 Norman Muscarello’s terrifying close encounter
• 🚔 How Officers Bertrand & Hunt became unexpected UFO witnesses
• 📑 The Air Force’s Operation Blue Book spin job
• 🙃 The heated back-and-forth between Blue Book and Exeter police
• 🎉 The legacy of the sighting, including today’s Exeter UFO Festival

Of course, we also veer off into our trademark banter — from what aliens might actually want to why UFOs allow us to see them. Strange, funny, and just a little spooky… exactly how we like it.

This isn’t just a story about lights in the sky; it’s about what happens when the people we trust to tell us the truth can’t even agree on what they saw.

👉 Listen now and decide for yourself.

Is the Chupacabra dangerous… or just misunderstood? 🩸 This week on Inherited Hauntings, we sink our teeth into the chilling legend of El Chupacabra, the blood-sucking cryptid that terrorized Puerto Rico in the 1990s and has since been spotted (maybe 👀) across the Americas. Is it an alien predator, a government experiment gone wrong, or something lurking in the natural world we've yet to understand? And more importantly… would you survive a midnight encounter?

Of course, it wouldn’t be us without some spooky hot takes, everyday-life detours, and plenty of laughs, because listening in feels a lot like hanging out with your best girlfriends (over coffee… or something stronger 🍷).

Tune in for eerie folklore, witty banter, and just the right dose of mystery.

In this humorous yet creepily captivating episode, Lindsey and Nancy dive headfirst into one of the most chaotic and widely documented paranormal cases of the 20th century: The Enfield Poltergeist. From flying furniture and levitating children to eerie voices that seemed to growl from another dimension, this case left even seasoned investigators questioning what was real, and what was simply too bizarre to explain away.

Along the way, the mother–daughter duo break down the infamous 1977 haunting that later inspired The Conjuring 2, blending bone-chilling details with their signature mix of sharp wit and unfiltered commentary. Was it a hoax, a haunting, or something stranger still?

Expect ghostly mayhem, unsettling moments, and more than a few bursts of nervous laughter as we explore the line between the explainable and the unexplainable. Because when it comes to poltergeists, the story is always messy; and the truth is always a little too creepy, filled with chaos, chills, laughs, and plenty of attitude.

What happens when a 12th-century inn built on pagan burial grounds meets centuries of ghost stories? You get the Ancient Ram Inn, one of England’s most notorious paranormal hotspots. And just when you thought it couldn’t get creepier, we’re also pulling back the curtain on America’s oldest inn The Groton Inn where Nancy herself once worked and collected spine-tingling firsthand encounters.

In this episode of Inherited Hauntings, Nancy and Lindsey explore New England for personal stories of shadowy figures, vanishing women in darkened rooms, and mysterious footsteps echoing in Groton’s narrow halls. Then, we travel across the ocean to Glocestershire England for dark folklore, pagan roots, and chilling legends of the Ancient Ram Inn, from child skeletons unearthed beneath the floorboards to ghostly apparitions that refuse to leave the halls.

Along the way, we’ll laugh, we’ll shiver, and we’ll ask the real questions:

Are these haunted inns just holding onto history… or something darker?

Do pagan rituals leave doorways open for spirits that never close?

And seriously, who in their right mind rents a room at a place nicknamed “The Pagan Portal”?

Equal parts spooky and hilarious, this episode has pagan lore, poltergeist mischief, haunted history, and a personal haunting twist you won’t hear anywhere else.

🎧 Buckle up, because whether it’s the Ancient Ram Inn in England or the Groton Inn in Massachusetts, these haunted stays prove one thing: some checkouts are final.
