    Episode 270: The Strange Disappearance of the Lake Anjikuni Village

    Welcome to Episode 270 of Let’s Get Haunted! In November 1930, a trapper allegedly arrived at a remote Inuit village near Lake Anjikuni in northern Canada and found something impossible: an entire settlement abandoned. Fires still smoldered, food left behind, sled dogs frozen solid. An entire village had seemingly vanished without a trace. This week on Let’s Get Haunted, we investigate the infamous Lake Anjikuni disappearance, one of Canada’s most enduring paranormal mysteries. Was it a genuine unexplained disappearance? A sensationalized newspaper story? A piece of Indigenous history distorted into paranormal folklore? Or a hoax that became so famous the truth no longer mattered? Grab your parkas, Haunties. We’re going north.

    Episode 269: The Great Molasses Flood of 1919

    Welcome to Episode 269: The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 Feat. Scared All The Time. On January 15, 1919, a massive storage tank suddenly burst in Boston’s North End, unleashing 2.3 million gallons of molasses in a deadly wave that swallowed streets, demolished buildings, and killed 21 people. In this episode of Let’s Get Haunted, Aly is joined by special guests Ed & Chris of Scared All The Time as they dive into the horrifying firsthand accounts of survivors, the gruesome reality of how victims died, and the corporate negligence that allowed the disaster to happen. We’ll also explore the bizarre theory that Italian anarchists bombed the tank and the years-long investigation that ultimately revealed the truth. More than a century later, locals claim the tragedy may have left something behind, from phantom screams and shadow figures to the mysterious smell of molasses still lingering in the streets of Boston. Do the victims of the flood still linger in the streets of Boston suspended somewhere between life and death? Probs.

    Episode 268: The Civil War Ghosts of Kennesaw Mountain

    Welcome to Episode 268 of Let’s Get Haunted! This week on LGH we're climbing one of the bloodiest battlefields in Nat’s backyard AND American history. In June of 1864, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman made a rare and devastating decision: a direct assault on the Confederate defenses atop Kennesaw Mountain. In just a matter of hours, thousands of soldiers were killed on the steep Georgia hillside, leaving behind trenches filled with corpses, makeshift hospitals overflowing with amputations, and scars on the landscape that remain visible even today.

    More than 160 years later, visitors still report hearing phantom cannon fire echoing through the trees, seeing Civil War soldiers disappear into the forest, and experiencing an overwhelming sense of dread along the infamous Dead Angle.

    We get kinda deep (sry) and ask: are these stories born from the trauma of one of the Civil War's deadliest battles, or can places remember the violence inflicted upon them???

    Join us as we separate documented history from local legend, explore firsthand accounts written by soldiers who fought at Kennesaw Mountain, and investigate why this quiet Georgia mountain has become one of America's most enduring haunted battlefields.

    Episode 267: Giant Flying Space Clams of Nevada

    Welcome to Episode 267: The Giant Space Clams of Nevada. On today’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we bypass the brothels and casinos of the Silver State and travel back in time to one of the weirdest cryptid encounters ever. In 1925, four pilots landed on a remote mesa near Battle Mountain, Nevada, where they claimed to witness one of the strangest UFO encounters ever recorded - not with a spacecraft, but with what appeared to be a living, breathing creature drifting through the sky. After watching the injured, disc-shaped being struggle to take flight, they allegedly saw a much larger version descend from above, rescue it, and disappear back into the clouds. This week, we investigate the original eyewitness account, the mysterious history of Battle Mountain, and the bizarre theory that some UFOs may actually be undiscovered atmospheric animals rather than extraterrestrial craft. Is this one of the greatest forgotten cryptid stories in American history, or the ultimate tall tale?

    Episode 266: Phantom Social Clubs

    Welcome to Episode 266 of Let’s Get Haunted! There are places you're told never to follow the music. Across Ireland, Scotland, Appalachia, Newfoundland, and beyond, people have reported the same impossible experience for centuries: a fiddle playing deep in the woods, laughter echoing from an empty hillside, a dance hall where no building should stand. Those who followed often found themselves welcomed into a celebration that seemed perfectly ordinary...until they tried to leave. Some returned to discover years had passed, while others claimed the building had vanished by morning. The oldest legends tell of people who were never seen again, spirited away into the beyond. This week, we're diving into the eerie history of phantom social clubs, fairy revels, ghost dances, vanished taverns, and impossible parties that blur the line between folklore and reality. Are these just cautionary tales and shared psychological experiences? Or have humans been stumbling into the same hidden gatherings for centuries under different names??? Grab your flashlight, ignore the music, and let's get haunted.

    Episode 265: Japan’s Mysterious Rock Ship, “Masuda Iwafune”

    Welcome to Episode 265: Japan’s Mysterious Rock Ship, “Masuda Iwafune”. On today’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we journey to Japan’s ancient Asuka region to investigate the Masuda Iwafune: an enormous 700- to 800-ton granite monument whose purpose has baffled archaeologists for centuries. We explore the leading theories surrounding the so-called “Rock Ship of Masuda,” from unfinished royal tombs and astronomical observatories to water engineering projects and ritual monuments. Then, we venture into stranger territory, examining connections to Japanese legends of heavenly stone boats, the mysterious Utsuro-bune encounter, and ancient astronaut speculation. We even interviewed a tourist, Eddie, who hiked to the megalith and saw it firsthand! More than 1,300 years after it was carved into a hillside overlooking Nara Prefecture, the Masuda Iwafune remains one of Japan’s greatest unsolved archaeological mysteries.

    BONUS! That's Pretty Dark - 'Movie Night: The Ring' (feat. And That's Why We Drink)

    We're excited to introduce a special episode of That's Pretty Dark, featuring two of our favorite podcasters, Em and Christine from And That's Why We Drink.

    Sleepwalking parents, Japanese folklore, and viral marketing campaigns… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark!

    Join ‘90s kids Kayln and Christian (and two of their podcastin’ heroes) as they turn up the horror dial with a millennial classic that shaped the genre as we now know it.

    Joined by Em and Christine from And That's Why We Drink, Em brings the FASCINATING history of chain letters, while Christine shares childhood nightmares that prevent her from watching horror movies to this day, and your Ghost Hosts guide you through the film’s production history and cyclical Japanese ghost stories that inspired it.

    Though it wasn’t made for children, many of us caught The Ring early in life…. and if you want to heal that “TV trauma,” listen and forward this episode to 10 friends!

    Or else.

    Episode 264: The Dark Web

    Welcome to Episode 264 of Let’s Get Haunted! In 1991, the world wide web became readily available for public access. The internet was born. The net was a concept on a scale of which nobody could fathom… it was supposed to make the world feel smaller, more connected, more available. Instead, it created places no one can fully map. Hidden beneath the websites we scroll every day is another layer. Anonymous marketplaces. Cult forums. Hitman scams. Missing people. Government leaks. Red rooms that may or may not exist. A digital underworld built on secrecy, paranoia, and fear. Today on LGH, we’re descending into the dark web– The myths, the crimes, and the psychological horror of a space where identity dissolves and curiosity can become dangerous very quickly. So dim your screen, lock your doors, and maybe don’t click any strange links after this episode.


    TW: This episode will feature murder, abuse, torture, SA, and descriptions of mental illness which some listeners may find disturbing, listener discretion is advised.
