On this week’s episode I’m taking you ghost hunting at the infamous Witch’s House in Portland. I didn’t think I would actually find so much on the history on this one but I found a treasure trove. Most of the hauntings appear to revolve around one horrible murder, which I found newspaper stories recounting the tale in graphic detail. I have had so many of you ask me if I got to go to this place after the Top 10 Haunted Bathrooms episode and I finally did. I loved this place. I didn’t get much in the way of ghost hunting down with the storms and random people around but there’s a little bit. Also I think this video will be one of the longest ones on Youtube and Patreon because we just kept getting more and more footage of this place because it was just so pretty and surreal. 
 
So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked, and the sage is close by. I have a story to tell you.

On this week’s episode I’m taking you to one of our favorite places in all of Portland, Kell’s Irish Restaurant and Pub. When Portland Oddities & Curiosities Expo rolls around in the fall you will find us there at least one of the nights we are town. We love the food, drinks, and atmosphere, the ghosts are honestly a bonus. This place is connected to the Shanghai Tunnels so you know it’s spiritually busy. But the best known ghost has nothing to do with the tunnels and might actually not have anything to do with Kell’s. 
 
So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, maybe something with roses, make sure the doors are locked, and the sage is close by. I have a story to tell you.

On this week’s episode, I’m going to tell you the history and hauntings of the Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon. I figured we needed a sweet story for Valentine’s Day. I also wanted a break from the darkness of the shanghai tunnels.  I was lucky enough to visit the beautiful Pittock Mansion while we were out there with the Oddities and Curiosities Expo last year. I was not prepared for how gorgeous this place was. It is tucked up on this incredibly tall hill that just weaves through this extra green and dense rainforest. When you get to the top of the hill the house just emerges from these trees quite suddenly. The house itself is a beige gray with red roofs and from the back it looks like a fortress almost. If you go to the front of the house get roses and a view of Mt. Hood and the Portland skyline to die for. Oh and the interior! Well we will talk about that a little bit later. 
 
So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, maybe something with roses, make sure the doors are locked, and the sage is close by. I have a story to tell you.

On this week’s episode we are going dark and discussing a heavy hitter in the paranormal community, the infamous Shanghai Tunnels of Portland. Trigger warning. It’s real dark. Name a bad thing and it will probably be mentioned today. Human trafficking, sexual assault, drugging, murder, cannibalism, racism. Yeah there’s a lot today. I discovered in my travels in the PWN that there are actually Shanghai Tunnels in Portland, Astoria, and Seattle. I thought this was fascinating! But the Portland ones are probably the most famous amongst paranormal enthusiasts because they have been seen on every ghost show basically ever. There is a lot of history to get through, don’t worry it’s very dark and gruesome. I was so upset when I didn’t get to go the first time I was in Portland so I made sure to go this time, and I’ll probably go again this year too! I even had a ghostly experience that I’ll tell you all about at the end.

On this week’s episode we are going down the rabbit hole of the weird and wonderful world of haunted dolls on E-bay, with my buddy Andrew Cronk of Cronk Art & Curiosities. I thought that this was be a nice reprieve from the creepiness and yet we ended up giving each other the shivers.
So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked and the sage is close by. I have a story to tell you.

On this week’s episode we are delving into the history of one of the most famous haunted dolls in the world, Robert the Doll. This one has always given me the heebee jeebees. Maybe because it’s relatable. Robert has been to blame for people losing their jobs, relationships, deaths, and all sorts of mishaps. He has gained celebrity status from his little home at the Fort East Martello Museum in Key West, Florida where he receives 100s of visitors, letters, candy, and other presents a year. Many believe that he is the inspiration for the Chucky franchise.
But what/who is Robert? What haunts Robert the Doll? Has he come to life because of the love of an obsessive child or is he a demon? There’s so much to this one.
So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked and the sage is close by. I have a story to tell you.
