Happy one year anniversary! We can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we were in the very literal closet! While not sure what that looks like or means for our podcast (as in doing well or not) WE ARE SO HAPPY! It’s something to celebrate. While you’re popping your champagne with us, prepare for some gloom and doom. Today we’re talking about Eastern State Penitentiary. It ain’t pretty.

Take a dive in with us as we take a look at what our Scotland friends had to endure many years ago.

Today's episode is pretty interesting to say the least. Join us as we journey to 208 Meriden Avenue and dive into the story behind The Haunting in Connecticut. Is it a true story? Or perhaps a very “creative” concoction spun up by the Snedeker’s, The Warren's and the author himself. Either way, it is disturbing as hell. Buckle up buttercups!
