    Look over your shoulder and make sure that nobody is watching you, before listening to todays episode. We will cover three different tales of watching and observing. First we explore The Watcher case, then we will take a closer look at the movie Rear Window, and the short story It Had to Be Murder, and finally we retrace my dreamlike steps through the McKittrick Hotel for a performance of Sleep No More. Get ready to creep and remember to stay spooky!

  • Spooky Lake Michigan
    Aug 14 2025

    A day on the lake can be refreshing, and relaxing; but it can also be spooky! In this episode we will adventure around Lake Michigan in search of ghosts and missing people. First we will explore the Seul Choix PointeLighthouse and the spirits that reside inside. Then we will sail on board of La Griffon, one of the oldest ghost ships on the lake. From there we will visit three submarines with haunted crew still aboard; the USS Cobia, the Uss Silversides, and the U-505. Moving to the south of the lake we get acquainted with the lost soles at the US Steel Factory. We’ll meet a skinny dipping ghost, Diana of the Dunes, and finally we discuss the strange 1966 disappearance of Renee Bruhl, Patricia Blough, and Ann Miller from the Indiana Dunes National Shoreline. Grab your life jackets and get ready for Staying Spooky!
