    301: Jeanine Grinsell & Laurie McKenna
    In the 1980s, Carolands Mansion sat abandoned in the hills of Hillsborough, California. Once a grand estate commissioned by the heiress to the Pullman railway fortune, it had since become a haunted house of sorts. But in 1985, something inside its decaying walls proved that monsters are all too real.

    Sam Donaldson returned to his Hondo, New Mexico, ranch after a Fourth of July weekend away with his wife, expecting the usual buzz of ranch life. Instead, an unsettling silence greeted him.
