This week we take you on a journey to two very different haunted places and dive into the history as well as local lore surrounding the hauntings!

If you have visited either of these locations, we'd love to hear your stories! Thank you so much for being here.

This week, things get strange. First, we promised you a doll update and we deliver! Then, one listener shares a chilling alien encounter and UFO sightings. Finally, we dive into the story of a shadow figure known only as "The Bad Man". Turn off the lights, grab your headphones, and join us for another episode where reality gets a little too close for comfort. If you have your own chilling encounters you'd like to share and have featured on the pod, please email us at ghoststoriesandgummies@gmail.com, DM us on our social media or go visit Dear Darkness to spill your tea, link in our bios for her.
