Paranormal Peeps

A quiet dirt road, a beautiful old house, and a history that refuses to stay buried. We head to Fonti Flora Plantation in Blair, South Carolina, where even the basic facts feel unsettled, including conflicting accounts of when the home was built and why so many sources disagree. From there, the story opens into a classic haunted plantation timeline: enormous acreage tied to a dowry, generational losses that literally gamble the land away, and Civil War damage that still leaves physical scars,...

A volcano can be measured by seismographs; a legend needs a different kind of instrument. We head to Mount Shasta, the California peak that has inspired a century of reports about Lemurians, hidden cities, lenticular “cloaks,” and startling disappearances—and we ask what holds up when the fog of myth lifts. We start with the bold map laid down by researcher Wishar S. Survey, who argued that an ancient continent called Lemuria (Mu) shattered under colossal forces, leaving Mount Shasta as a fi...

A bandit’s bolthole, a sheriff’s showcase, a wartime hospital—McRaven House compresses centuries into a single haunted address, and it doesn’t whisper so much as answer back. We dive into the Pioneer roots of 1797, where highwayman Andrew Glass built a one-story hideout on the Natchez Trace, then follow the 1836 Empire-style expansion by Sheriff Stephen Howard and the 1849 Greek Revival polish from brickmaker John H. Bob. Architecture becomes a timeline you can walk, and every room has a reas...

Some houses feel alive. Ours begins on a bright corner of the French Quarter where music and laughter once slipped through open windows—and where a locked attic hid the kind of cruelty that still turns the air heavy. We follow Madame Delphine LaLaurie’s ascent through power and privilege, from celebrated socialite to a figure whose legacy is etched in screams neighbors swore they heard at night.

The wind off the Red River doesn’t just howl, it tells stories. We’re in Fargo, North Dakota, digging into the haunted lore that clings to a city built on railroads, fast growth, and the parts of history people try to bury. First stop is the Hollow, Fargo’s original red light district, where Malvina Macy built the Crystal Palace and became a “well-known character” in town history. Today the building is long gone, but the reports haven’t faded: security guards describing women in long gowns wh...
