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.
