The Dobbin House is one of Gettysburg's most beautiful and historically dense buildings, sitting just steps from the cemetery. Built in 1776 by Reverend Alexander Dobbin and his wife Isabella, this stone house has lived many lives: a family home, a stop on the Underground Railroad, and later a hospital for wounded Union and Confederate soldiers after the Battle of Gettysburg. History is everywhere here—and according to many, so are the spirits. Employees and visitors alike report hearing children laughing, running, whispering, and the unmistakable sound of marbles rolling across the floor after hours. Some claim to see the silhouette of Abraham Lincoln, who would have passed by the house on his way to deliver the Gettysburg Address. A woman in a blue gown is frequently seen upstairs, silently moving through bedrooms or gazing out windows before vanishing into walls—peaceful, but tinged with sadness. Others speak of a wounded Union soldier haunting the lower levels near the basement stairs, accompanied by cold spots, nausea, and the sound of a man moaning in pain. Is the Dobbin House simply echoing with centuries of human life and loss, or is something truly lingering after dark?

Rising 92 feet over the Monongahela River, the towering remains of Carrie Furnace #6 and #7 loom like iron giants frozen in time. Located in Swissvale just outside Pittsburgh, these massive structures are rare survivors of pre–World War II iron-making technology—and the only non-operative blast furnaces left in the region. The furnaces went offline in 1978, and the plant closed entirely in 1984. What followed were decades of neglect: scrapping, abandonment, and exposure to the elements. But Carrie Furnace isn’t just known for its history—it’s also known for its hauntings. The work here was perilous, and loss of life was a reality of the job. Many believe the spirits of former workers still remain among the rusting towers. Visitors and investigators report unexplained sounds, shadow figures, and even full-body apparitions moving through the site. Are these echoes of workers who died here—or lingering presences of people so tied to the furnaces that they never truly left?

Hidden beneath Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Laurel Caverns—also known as Laurel Mountain Cave— stretches nearly three miles underground, making it the largest and deepest cave in the state. Open seasonally for guided tours and even spelunking, this massive natural formation is just as fascinating geologically as it is eerie. Laurel Cavern’s strange reputation goes back centuries. As early as the 1800s, stories circulated about a group of highway robbers rumored to have hidden stolen silver deep within the cave. Legend says their spirits still guard the treasure—perhaps explaining why no silver has ever been found… or why those who search are misled. There are also darker stories, and shadowy figures. Visitors report strange sounds echoing through the cavern. Whether those noises are paranormal or the result of unique acoustics and cave structure is up for debate. Would you visit a haunted cavern?

Tucked into the slope of Blue Mountain in Bangor, Pennsylvania, Columcille Megalith Park is a place where ancient stone meets modern mystery. This privately owned but publicly accessible park spans over 20 acres and features more than 90 megalithic stone arrangements, most placed between 1980 and 2005. We dive into the park’s most talked-about features, including Thor’s Gate and the Infinity Gate, rumored to act as portals between dimensions. Visitors claim to hear whispers on foggy mornings and report an intense, buzzing energy throughout the woods. Is it paranormal? Natural? Psychological? Or something in between? We also unpack the park’s reputation as a “witch hotspot,” what that really means, and why Columcille may be more about reverence for nature and reflection. With winding forest trails, fairy-ring-inspired spaces, ponds, and its proximity to the Appalachian Trail, this is a place that invites both skepticism and wonder.

From forgotten festivities to famous phantoms, we dive into the forgotten tradition of Victorian ghost parties, a bizarre and delightful custom that swept the late 1800s. We then move to Chicago’s legendary Drake Hotel, where a tragic love story lingers on the tenth floor. On New Year’s Eve 1920—the hotel’s grand opening—thousands danced, orchestras played, and one heartbroken woman in a red flapper dress is said to have taken her own life after witnessing her partner’s midnight betrayal. Today, she’s still seen gliding through hallways in her crimson gown, most often on New Year’s Eve, searching for something—or someone—she lost that night. Then we head south to the Inn on Main Street in Weaverville, North Carolina, where New Year’s Eve haunts are a yearly guarantee. Built by a doctor who once performed procedures in the home, the inn still bears the marks of a patient who didn’t survive. Guests say that every NYE, the back door opens and closes on its own, and at the stroke of midnight, framed photos seem to crash to the floor—only to be found perfectly in place. It’s as if unseen partygoers are still shuffling in from the cold and making their own ruckus. From ghost parties of the past to modern holiday hauntings, we’re ringing in the new year with spirits of every kind.

This week, we’re heading to one of Pittsburgh’s most iconic (and secretly spooky) landmarks: The Omni William Penn Hotel—a gilded, glamorous giant that’s been towering over downtown since 1916. We’ve been inside the speakeasy in the basement, but the deeper history? That’s where things get dark. Once hailed as the “Grandest Hotel in the Nation,” the William Penn has hosted presidents, high-society galas, and thousands of travelers. But behind its marble floors and sweeping ballrooms are stories of heartbreak, violence, and spirits who never checked out. We break down the tragic murder of two longtime friends—both hotel employees—on the 18th floor locker room, a Prohibition-era salesman who took his own life in fear of mob retaliation, and the mysterious death of the woman who brought the first live panda to the U.S. But that’s just the beginning. The 22nd and 23rd floors are rumored to exist in a different time—with guests reporting décor frozen in the 1970s, unsettling stillness, and a feeling that the building is slipping into another dimension. Add in phantom piano music from the ballrooms, icy cold gusts on the 16th floor, apparitions that flick on lamps, and constant footsteps in empty hallways, and you’ve got a hotel where luxury and the paranormal collide.

Built in the 1850s and once used by retreating Confederate soldiers, this peaceful red bridge hides a dark past. Visitors report seeing apparitions of soldiers, hearing phantom footsteps and battle sounds, and even encountering the spirits of three men said to have been hanged from its beams. From disembodied voices whispering “Go back” to mysterious lantern lights flickering across Marsh Creek, Sachs Bridge is as eerie as it is historic. Join us as we walk across the bridge that connects history and the afterlife — and uncover why some say the spirits of Gettysburg still march across it at night.

We’re back at one of the most paranormally active spots in Missouri — Pythian Castle in Springfield. This time, we teamed up with our friends from HauntedUs for a full investigation and even recorded a live episode of The Haunted Atlas inside the castle’s walls (you can find that wherever you get your podcasts). Built in 1913 by the Knights of Pythias and later taken over by the U.S. military, Pythian Castle has seen everything from fraternal rituals to World War II POWs — and the energy left behind still lingers in every corridor. In this episode, we revisit the castle’s chilling history and share our newest findings — floor by floor
