EP 210 - The Ghostly Jester | Beaufort, SC

Beaufort, South Carolina has been standing for over three hundred years, but the ground beneath it is far older, and some of the spirits here have been lurking much longer than that. We explore the elegant Verdier House, the crumbling Chapel of Ease and the Castle: a sprawling mansion haunted by both Civil War soldiers and a presence unlike anything we've encountered before.

  • EP 212 - Terrible Tilly & The Bandage Man l Cannon Beach, OR

    01:29:28|
    Cannon Beach, Oregon looks like a postcard with beautiful beaches, iconic rock formations, and small town charm. But beneath those scenic shores lies a darker history. A man vanishes during a storm and his presence refuses to leave. On Spruce Street after dark, people have glimpsed a woman in white, but witnesses say there's something wrong with her appearance, something that stays with them long after the encounter. And miles offshore, a lighthouse built on blood and tragedy holds secrets that even its keepers couldn't explain. This week on Hometown Ghost Stories, we're exploring the hauntings of Cannon Beach, where history, mystery, and something unexplainable converge on the Oregon coast.You Two Scare Me:https://www.youtwoscaremepodcast.com/  / youtwoscareme_podcast  https://open.spotify.com/show/18jbPKVqG7scmYwswRYdVK?si=9c612e6a91d94bfdhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-two-scare-me-podcast-a-paranormal-podcast/id1810815332

    In 1884, the Ringling Brothers began their circus empire in the small city of Baraboo, Wisconsin. What started as a modest traveling show would eventually become one of the most famous circuses in the world, turning this quiet Midwestern town into the unlikely capital of the American circus.
