Ep. 12 - The Stanley Hotel

The Peoria State Hospital opened in 1901 in the village of Bartonville in Illinois. The asylum was home for the mentally ill for seventy-two years and it provided state of the art care for the time, but it was also the scene of some very tragic circumstances. Many people died here, both patients and staff. Peoria State Hospital is rumored to be haunted and it very well could be for a number of reasons. Bartonville was once Native American land, many tragedies happened at the hospital and the area where it is located is surrounded by water and limestone. There seems to be many fractured spirits here at the Peoria State Hospital. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Peoria State Hospital.

Muriel C. Pfeil is buried in the Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery next to her husband Emil, who preceded her in death by 47 years and her namesake daughter who died 25 years prior. That daughter had been the victim of domestic violence and a bitter divorce and custody battle ended with her blown to bits in downtown Anchorage, Alaska. It was a shocking murder and so it is no wonder that Muriel's spirit is at unrest.

The Cachtice Castle lies in ruins in Slovakia, but was once a home to royalty. This then became a prison for Baroness Elizabeth Bathory. Her family was known for cruelty and she knew violence from the time she was a child. Legends claim that she grew up to become the "Blood Countess," a prolific female serial killer. But was she really that or has history given her a bad rap via a story concocted by people who wanted her power and possessions? The Castle is a magnificent, but crumbling structure that many claim is haunted because of intense emotions and pain trapped in the stone. Does Madame Bathory still walk its halls? Join us for the history and hauntings of Cachtice Castle.

Ghosts. This is a topic with which the church does not like to deal. And this is whether people are asking tough questions like, “What is a ghost?” or asking for help with a haunting taking place in their homes. Most churches treat the topic as a whole with a couple of simple answers. These are demonic entities, and we shouldn’t have anything to do with spirits or ghosts don’t exist. But is that what the Bible has to say about ghosts? Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios
