Hotel Horrors

In honor of St. Patrick's Day this week's episode brings tales of murder,  mystery, mayhem and hauntings from the on the Emerald Isle of Ireland. And may be one story from a nearby Isle. 

There is nothing more Irish than a haunted pub and Cavanaugh's Pub in Dublin may be the most haunted of them all. Built adjacent to a cemetery, digging up dirt from the graveyard and throwing it against the side of the pub is a favorite pastime of customers. It may come as no surprise that this bar is haunted AF. 

The ghosts of Northern Ireland are a bit more agressive and have been known to slap the bejesus out of people. At least that's the ghost that haunts 91 Beechmont Grove's favorite thing to do. She is described as a Victorian woman wearing a black dress and she does not mess around.

The Maiden Tower isn't just a rad name for an 80s hair band, it's also the name of the brothel run by accused  witch Dorcus "Darkey"  Kelley, the focus of Britt's second story. According to legend, Darkey got mixed up with a a member of the Hellfire Club, a devil worshipping secret society for18th century playboys and it cost her her life. To this day she is seen quietly walking the streets of Dublin.

And then for the last story, it's just a hop skip and a jump over the pond to the Irishish country of England and a pub with links to Jack the Ripper. Something unholy is happening in the basement and one bartender isn't sticking around to find out what the entity wants.

Happy Saint Patricks Day and Top of the Evening to you!

Alissa travels the globe to come to the land of Britt, aka Portland, so the team decides to share the haunts of the town that somehow involve a lot of strippers, prostitutes, and scary little girls.

In this episode, you’ll hear a first person story about a strange encounter near an iconically creepy location, The Witch's Castle and the dark past that haunts the lands today.

Another iconic haunted location is McMenamins White Eagle Saloon that is littered with ghosts and paranormal activity. One such story involves a lurking cowboy shadow that enters a couple’s room as they try to sleep.

We hear of an evil farm boy who chases an unsuspecting Portland girl in her car only to discover this farm boy has been dead for over 100 years.

The Lone Fir Cemetery in Portland is notoriously haunted with the living and the dead. We hear of a story about a possible ghost or man on PCP, a person dressed in goth attire berating cemetery guests, and apparitions of Emma Merlotin, a murdered prostitute who is seen carrying a hatchet, the weapon that was used to kill her.

The evening is topped off with a story of a haunted aquarium store here in Portland with the EVP of a little girl to prove it.

In honor of the month of love, Alissa and Britt share love stories that last long after this life is over.

Alice Belin Flagg loves a lumberman but her awful older brother has other plans and refuses to let them be together. She searches the cemetery for the long lost ring her love gave her and her brother so awfully discarded.

Don CeSar Hotel is based on a heartwarming and heartbreaking tale of two lovers unable to be together in this life so they meet in the next at this hotel built by Thomas Rowe for his love Lucinda.

What starts as a perfect love story ends when a love is lost at sea and a woman searches for him on her widows walk.

A strange tale of Barbara who is told by God her true love is Bill and her journey to find this dream man... spoiler, his name isn't really Bill.

When a man loses his love in a hurricane, he makes it his deaths mission to safe future souls from the same fate by telling them to leave when a hurricane is coming near. The Gray Man is the ghost hero of the ages.

A love story 75 years in the making. A solider meets the love of his life during WWII, then never sees her again... until they're both reunited in their 90's. A couple bonded by love and lard.

Harry buried the love of his life in his backyard, then lost her, was arrested for her death, which we hope he didn't do, and now his ghostly self is destined to wander the lands searching for his wife's missing corpse.

We take you now to the most horrifying, terrifying, bone chilling place... hospitals.

Alissa and Britt share a variety and wealth of stories that will have you gasping in fright and laughing with delight.

There is a story of a patient who asks a doctor for directions and the doctor discovers moments later that that very patient lay dead in their room.

There is a hospital ghost that likes to take out the trash in patient's rooms and is caught on video coming into the corridor.

A doctor making his rounds on the children's unit is then discovered not to exist at all and is apparently a doctor who passed years before.

A dad makes a poor decision to let his 5yr old into the morgue to see cadavers. Instead she sees a ghost that only she can see, scaring the heck out of her dad.

That story transitions to a tale of terrifying knocks that come out of the fridge in the morgue and the wise advice to never open the fridge while it's knocking.

Room #1 is the most haunted place in this one hotel. A nurse thinks someone is pranking them as they see someone behind the privacy curtain. As they soon discover, it is only the resident ghost scaring the living daylights out of everyone.

This ICU has seen some crazy things but the craziest has been a ghostly cat that visits the rooms of those about to die. He's not a friendly cat though and will hiss as a final farewell.

This medical student sees a person vanish in midair in front of a white door only to discover they're not the only ones to have witness this same thing in front of the same door... the morgue door.

This patient coded and the only way to be brought back was to have his wife yell at him. This happens 3 times before they finally keep the wife near him as he's transported for his organ transplant. Spoiler, he lives!

A nurse who dies suddenly remains at the hospital where she died. She's seen sitting by the window of every patient who stays in that room.

Lastly, we hear of a patient who is moments away from death who rallies, gets up, gets dressed, asks for dinner, then promptly dies. She just wanted that last meal!

You are getting sleepy... very sleepy...when I count to three you will be enthralled with all the stories told in this episode. 1...2...3...

You may have heard of hypnotists being able to help you remember your past life, but what about a story of your future planning? Alissa shares one planning session that involves microfiche, a room of professors, and a man who's dream is life is to be a hypnotist.

Britt goes back in time and shares the story of Everton in 1909, a hypnotist who hypnotizes an audience member, jumps on his abdomen, then is shocked when the man never become conscience again.

Alissa and Britt then share little biddy horror stories involving a girl who thinks she's drowning, a woman who think she's won the lottery, a man who orgasms on stage, a girl who loses her boyfriend because of what she does under hypnosis, a film maker who shares what it's like to be hypnotized, a kid who looks for his asshole, and lastly while on a cruise, a poor guy who is put under and begins pleasuring himself in front of the entire audience.

Don't let these stories deter you from hypnosis though, in fact, if you are looking for a very positive hypnosis experience, head over to our friend of the podcast Lara Lenore's podcast "Good Enough and Getting Better" for a very healing experience.

In honor of Britt not dying last week, we celebrate with some fun fun funerals.

After listening to this episode you will likely drive a bit more slowly past those cemeteries, look a little closer in those funeral home windows, and think twice when you see a butterfly.

Alissa starts the episode off with a tale of the deceased taking the guesswork out of which coffin they want by choosing it from the afterlife.

Britt shares a story about a little girl calling out for her daddy when she got left behind at the funeral home. What she didn’t realize is that it was her own funeral. 

Alissa shares a horrific story about how she doesn’t own a travel mug so she sloshes coffee all over her car…and also a ghost who hangs out in a cemetery carrying around a mug of coffee too.

Obsessing over little girls dying, Britt shares another story about a little girl who likes to hang out at a local funeral home and tease the hearse drivers backing out of the driveway.

Get ready for an end of life story about not one but two family members who witness someone or something come to bring them to the afterlife.

Britt tells us all a bit of history regarding the Georgetown Morgue in Seattle. A tale of dismembered bodies, freak accidents, and a gruesome murder of all 9 employees.

Alissa finishes off the episode with a heartwarming tale of a cemetery ghost who has been waiting for his love. When she’s finally buried, they end up together, laughing and happy.

You'll want to sleep with the lights on tonight after listening to this week's episode.

Alissa starts us off with a story about chicken, cornbread, mashed potatoes and a blossoming friendship with a mysterious car salesman.

Think you’re safe from ghosts while at work? Think again. Britt tells of a ghost who hangs out in the stock room of a business causing all kinds of mischief.

We’ve all heard of shadow people or dark figured beings who like to hang out in doorways and corners but Alissa shocks us all with a story about a light person. A glowing being who just might be interdimensional. 

Britt then shares a heartwarming story about a very helpful ghost who cooks, cleans, and feeds the children. The story warms our hearts even more when we discover it is grandma who is doing all of the helping.

Keeping with the grandma theme. Alissa tells us about a grandma who likes to prank drivers by hanging out in the median of the highway, then jump into oncoming traffic. Only to disappear moments later.

Have you ever had an electronic act so bizarre that you think it might be something supernatural? Well Britt’s story is just that. A boy and a puppy have their life saved by a loud beeping refrigerator. Thanks fridge!

Remember that light figure from before? Well Alissa has another compelling story about 3 small light figures that peace out when told to leave a very haunted apartment.

Let’s wrap up this year with the top paranormal news stories of 2023.

Also, that really strange coincidence involving the terrible movie White Noise and an actual toxic train wreckage that takes place right after the movie was released.

Lost time, lost buildings, or just losing it, Alissa and Britt dive into the world of time slips this week.

Alissa starts us off with a story about a girl whose friend came to visit her in Australia. Months later this girl experiences time and space in strange ways only to then discover a true tragedy.

Britt, who may or may not know what a time slip is, then shares a story of an American in England who experiences the world’s most perfect kebab only to realize the shop vanishes in the daytime.

When a college student decides to change the volume on her TV, she reaches to do so only to discover herself back in time and miles away. 

A UPS driver working the night shift, goes in for his morning pack of cigarettes only to discover not a soul is in sight in this massive convenience store. No cars. No people. Nothing.

Britt also realizes this is more of a people slip, less of a time slip.

Alissa then shares a famous time slip location on Bold Street in Liverpool. A couple goes for a shopping trip, the wife in one store, the husband in the other. The husband then experiences a time slip back to the 1950’s and is struck by how bizarre everything is. What’s interesting is that there was someone from the future experiencing the same thing as him at the same time.

Alissa noted that a lot of stories she found involved electricity and happened around the year 2010. Strange.
