22: Ep. 22 Stone Cellar: Stone Arch Brewpub Haunting

Ever met a ghost so committed to his job that he’s been showing up for work for over a century? Meet Eddie, the paranormal brewery worker haunting Appleton, Wisconsin’s Stone Arch Brewpub. This week we dive deep into the twisted 160-year history of the “Between the Locks” building - from devastating fires & mysterious deaths to a German immigrant’s brewing empire that couldn’t stay dead.

We’re talking professional paranormal investigations, shadow figures caught on camera, & a ghost who literally corrected investigators when they got his name wrong. Plus, the Stone Tape Theory that might explain how human trauma gets burned into building foundations, Harry Houdini’s hometown paranormal scene, & why Eddie might be the most polite poltergeist in the Midwest.

Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the documented evidence from this haunted brewery will make you question everything you know about the afterlife… & employee retention policies.
