The Unfinished Business of Manly P. Hall

This episode dives into the lonely Rosicrucian childhood of Manly P. Hall, his meteoric rise in 1920s occult Los Angeles, and the creation of his magnum opus, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, which cemented him as one of the most influential esoteric philosophers of the twentieth century. Along the way, we’ll talk about his years at the Philosophical Research Society, his legendary residence in Frank Lloyd Wright’s eerily iconic and possibly haunted Ennis House, and the still‑unsolved, sinister circumstances surrounding his 1990 death and contested will.

Boo-Coda: The Haunted History of Bucoda Washington

Tucked into rural Thurston County, Bucoda is not just another small Northwest town. It carries a chilling legacy and transforms every October into Boo Coda, Washington’s self-proclaimed haunted hotspot.

In this episode, we uncover the ghost-laced story of Bucoda. From its original name, Seatco, meaning “evil spirit” or “devil” in a native language, to the dark remains of Washington’s first territorial prison, the town carries whispers of tortured inmates, tragic accidents, and restless souls. We explore the haunted gym that hosts the annual Scary Nights Haunted House, the legends of ghostly figures along the train tracks, and how the living residents embrace Bucoda’s eerie reputation as both a point of pride and a source of fear.

The Stanley Hotel

High in the Colorado Rockies stands a hotel that has welcomed presidents, movie stars, and curious travelers, but it is the ghosts that made it famous.

In this episode, we uncover the story of the Stanley Hotel, an opulent mountain retreat built in the early 1900s that became as legendary for its hauntings as its grandeur. From its origins as F.O. Stanley’s vision of luxury and health to chilling reports of spectral children, phantom piano music, and rooms so active they inspired Stephen King’s The Shining, we explore the history and the paranormal legacy of one of America’s most iconic haunted hotels.
