Phantom History
Hauntings can occur anywhere, from cemeteries to modern-day structures. Through storytelling and interviews with experts, it is the goal of this podcast to share the stories behind those hauntings and uncover the truth about the lives and legacies of those who came before us, and those who somehow still linger. Are you an investigator or do you have a historic location you'd like us to check out? Let us know at podcast@phantomhistory.com.

For nearly 70 years, Cresson Sanatorium served Pennsylvania as a tuberculosis hospital, a ward for the developmentally disabled and as a prison for a wide variety of criminals. Today the 400-plus acres upon which the former institution rests is a hot spot for paranormal investigators, including Barry Merwin, of Unfortunate Travels. In this episode Barry shares his experiences while investigating the massive complex over two nights. For him there’s no doubt that the building still harbors memories of its past.
