Haunted Hospitality ·

2023/02/07

Have you heard the phrase "little green men"? It had only been used in sci-fi until 1955, when 11 people in Kelly, Kentucky claimed that a spaceship landed near their farmhouse and a group of aliens tried to attack their home. Suddenly news stories were awash with the Suttons' tale of their extraterrestrial plight — with some taking it more seriously than others.Today, there's no consensus about what happened to the Suttons that night in 1955. Some people fully believe they

In today's chaotic episode, Zoey discusses the ghosts of the Alamo. Robin, knowing full well that Zoey planned to cover the Alamo, is shocked that there are ghosts. Apparently, Robin was giddy with the thought that Zoey was going to make this a historical podcast. Well, Robin. Too bad. Can't have history without ghosts, as Zoey always says.Though you do have to bear through some history taught by Prof Zoey. But don't worry, the ghosts are many and very close together. They include the

Ah, the Georgia Guidestones. How statuesque. How deeply problematic.The Georgia Guidestones were a truly odd conglomeration of granite that popped up in rural Georgia in the 1980s. According to the only two people who ever saw him, a well-dressed man came into Elberton, Georgia, in 1979 on a mission to spread 10 very specific opinions on how he thought people ought to live and interact with the environment. Apparently he decided this was less "letter to the editor" territory and more

This week's episode is a tough one. We follow along as Zoey tells the story of Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins, an infamous serial killer from South Carolina.

Donald Gaskins claimed that he killed more than 100 people, but the police believe the number is more around 40. Either way it is a staggering amount. And murder

2023/01/10

Right beside the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, the Emily Morgan Hotel looms 13 stories tall. Originally constructed in 1924, it got its start as a premier Medical Arts Building. And even almost 50 years since the building saw its last patient, there are still traces of that hospital today.From the inexplicable antiseptic smell on the former surgical floor to the memory of a nurse walking down the hall, the Emily Morgan Hotel seems to like holding onto the past.

Cemeteries. Ghosts. They seem to go hand in hand. Yet Haunted Hospitality has recorded almost 100 episodes, and not once have we talked about a Cemetery. So this week, Zoey brings in the new year by visiting the Colonial Park Cemetery and the Bonaventure Cemetery, both in Savannah, GA. The Colonial Park Cemetery is known for shadowy figures that dart between gravestones at night after the park is all closed and for housing a mass grave of Yellow Fever victims. And there may or may not be a 7 foot

Ep 89 – Spiritualism, Séances, and The Thing

Haunted Hospitality ·

2022/12/13

Sometime in the late 1800s, a whole bunch of people decided it would be cool to contact the dead on a semi-regular basis. This wasn’t just a fringe phenomenon. Folks like Marie Curie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were all about it. But no one was as all about it as Ben and Sue Allen. Twice or thrice a week, they’d host a séance in their Nashville, Tennessee home, inviting their circle of well-to-do friends to bear witness to Sue’s uncanny ability to contact the spirit world. These evenings included

2022/10/25

Happy Halloween! In this very spooky episode Zoey shares one of her biggest, and newest, fears: men dressed up in full Bunny fursuits.

The legend is based on two real, and scary, stories of men in Burke Virginia in 1969 and/or 1970 who threatened locals while dressed like Bunnies. From there, the legend spread to outrageous and easily deniable stories, but it is very spooky.But before we get into that, Robin tells Zoey about

Chupacabra literally means "goat sucker", and boy howdy is this cryptid aptly named.
