Today we look at the history of the Old House Woods.
One of the most haunted locations in Virginia is a small forest where strange lights and ghostly figures have terrified locals for over 400 years. Tales of missing treasure, wandering soldiers, and phantom ships have only added to its spooky reputation. Today, we dive into the haunted history of the Old House Woods.
2024-10-13 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s finally time to get haunted! This week we are discussing the Old House Woods out of Virginia.
These woods are shockingly small for how much history it supposedly has! If you like ghost stories AND pirates, you’ll enjoy this one.
See you Monday!!
This week we dive into what some consider to be the scariest movie of all time: The Exorcist. It's going to be a wild ride as we take a more immersive route on the storytelling this week. It also features 3/4 of us who haven't seen this classic, so you're going to get fresh takes alongside the familiar ones!

Today we unpack the bizarre haunting of Gef the Talking Mongoose.
We’re all familiar with the telltale signs of ghost hauntings like mysterious, unexplained sounds and disembodied voices, but what about when a spirit takes a more… unique approach? This was the experience of a British family in the early 20th century. Today, we discuss the facts and fiction behind the peculiar case of Gef the talking mongoose.
