Case 110: Dudley Castle - Haunted English Stronghold haunted for hundreds of years.
Constructed during the 11th Century, Dudley Castle is known as one of the most haunted Castles in the UK, producing some of the most chilling paranormal activity ever captured on camera.The Castle is a site that actively participates in holding regular, public ghost hunts and people have spoken of their personal experiences of being touched and pushed, while staff and visitors have had stones thrown at them on several occasions.Some people get so spooked, that they leave in the middle of the night and don’t return.With over a thousand years of history Dudley Castle is a perfect spot for ghostly goings on.Who are the ghosts that call Dudley Castle home? We know of a few who have been witnessed by many of the centuries, and most recently there has been a very interesting photographic capture of the figure of a woman in grey coming out of a door way – what is her significance to the castle? Best of all, we are going to get to spend time in this Castle this May when we return to investigate more ghostly sites in both Ireland and England. What will we encounter on our investigation there? I was keen to find out more about this huge Castle with a big reputation.Please share with your friends, and consider becoming a Patreon (Grand Poobah is the best one :) but we are grateful for all support) and supporting our workpatreon.com/anneandrenataJoin us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

Case 109: Trans Allergany Asylum - From a Grand Idea to a Living Nightmare
Although insane asylums were built with the intention of protecting, treating, and supporting people suffering from mental illness, in the late 1800’s terrible practices were used on the patients housed in such institutions, that, by today’s standards would be looked upon as simply barbaric.Many asylums used treatment practices such as restraints and chains, ice baths, electroshock therapy, and forced drugging to name a few.The Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was specifically designed to change this, using what was called Moral Management which relied on kindness and compassion and making the patients environments comfortable and more homely.This was great, in theory, but not in practice as this asylum became overcrowded and understaffed creating a place of fear, neglect and the inability to give those within its walls the simplest of decent care.The Trans Allegheny Asylum is still one of the most haunted building in the USA.No wonder really – how could anyone survive such conditions.Even the sanest of individuals would eventually lose their mind there.Who are the souls that remain?What is it that they want or are they just simply lost.In this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we take a look inside the most haunted Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.An important note before we start,The material we talk about is graphic and can be very emotional for some sensitive people. If the topic of mental health and how it was historically treated, we suggest you listen using your discretion.If it raises anything that may be triggering for you, reach out to family and friends for reassurance and comfort. Times have changed – thank goodness and in most cases and countries around the world we do better.Please share with your friends, and consider becoming a Patreon (Grand Poobah is the best one :) but we are grateful for all support) and supporting our workpatreon.com/anneandrenataJoin us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

Case 107: Notre Dame Paris - Iconic Cathedral, Sanctuary, place of division and connection
Notre-Dame Cathedral has witnessed more than 850 years of history, though the Cathedral of Reims saw more action from French royals.It was in Reims that most coronations took place though an exception was in 1431 when Henry VI, King of England, was crowned King of France at Notre-Dame.Mary Queen of Scots married Francis II in the Cathedral in 1558. But mostly it was a church for Parisians.Notre-Dame de Paris, the grand Gothic cathedral on the Île de la Cité is a symbol to millions.Not just to Parisians but to many around the world.When in April 2019, a fire broke out at the Cathedral, the world watched as the tragedy unfolded and an outpouring of love for the building showed just how much it means to so many.Is the Cathedral haunted?Could a place so blessed and revered have a darker side?Tombs were uncovered as part of a cache of statues, sculptures and fragments of the cathedral’s original 13th-century rood screen buried under the floor of the transept crossing at the heart of the cathedral that was ravaged by fire in April 2019.Maybe this is where some of the apparitions come from?Let's find out who might be haunting one of the most significant gothic Cathedrals in the whole of the world.We would ask that you leave us a review and if you haven't done so yet please SUBSCRIBE.Send us a message as we would love to hear from you.Leave us feedback or a message with what you think is going on here on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastIf you have enjoyed this episode please leave us a review and subscribe and share.We would love to hear from you too!Join us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

Case 106: Armagosa Opera House
If you were thinking about creating a movie situated in a remote, dusty, one horse town complete a really freaky story, you couldn’t do better than what led to the creation of the Amaragosa Opera House in Death Valley Junction, situated along the Nevada-California border in the USA.In 1967, Marta Becket, a former Broadway dancer, headed out West with her husband on a one-woman tour. In Death Valley, their aptly-named Covered Wagon travel trailer blew a tire.The nearest settlement was thirty miles away.They limped into Death Valley Junction, population 20. It looked like a ghost town.The square was dominated by an rundown hotel and the abandoned workers’ flats of a defunct borax mining company. But it had a gas station, thank goodness.With a hand crank telephone.In 1967.It also had a derelict community theater.While her husband Tom repaired the tire, Marta wandered over to the theater.She peered through a tiny hole in the back door.“As I peered through that tiny hole,” Marta Becket later wrote, “I had the distinct feeling that I was looking at the other half of my life. The building seemed to be saying, ‘Take me. Do something with me. I offer you life.'”Marta Becket created something so unique that it brings hundreds of tourists from all over the world to this dust out of the way ghost town.One ghost we know for sure MUST haunt this place is Marta herself.She poured she soul into this place and we are sure that she still dances on the small stage at the Armagosa Opera House.We would ask that you leave us a review and if you haven't done so yet please SUBSCRIBE.Send us a message as we would love to hear from you.Leave us feedback or a message with what you think is going on here on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastIf you have enjoyed this episode please leave us a review and subscribe and share.We would love to hear from you too!Join us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

Case 105. Diplomat Hotel Philippines - Haunted by War Crimes and Torture
Built on a hill with a panoramic view overlooking Baguio City, the Diplomat Hotel is considered one of the most haunted places in the Philippines. Its history dates back to 1911 when it was constructed as a retreat house by the Dominican Order in a 17-hectare land previously belonging to American locals. Many people state that they have seen headless apparitions inside the hotel during the night when they have been inside the abandoned building.Even when the building was a hotel employees and guests also stated that they often heard weird sounds coming from the building, especially near the fountain.Apart from that, people living nearby claim that they would hear the banging of doors and windows, clattering of dishes andvoices of screaming people – people in pain.Torturous screams!The Philippines is a country of long held superstitious beliefs and curses that can be placed upon them by crossing the dead.Imagine then, a place filled with murdered souls that sits overlooking a grand city - a place filled with restless spirits.Would you go there to visit?Apparently, a lot of tourists do just that, they go specifically looking for an experience at the old Diplomat Hotel. Let’s head on into the abandoned building, one last time, before it goes under a huge renovation later this year and the ghosts are forced to look for a new home.We would ask that you leave us a review and if you haven't done so yet please SUBSCRIBE.Send us a message as we would love to hear from you.Leave us feedback or a message with what you think is going on here on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastIf you have enjoyed this episode please leave us a review and subscribe and share.We would love to hear from you too!Join us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

Case 104. The White House USA - Damned Place is Haunted!
“I sit in this old house, all the while listening to the ghosts walk up and down the hallway. At four o’clock, I was awakened by three distinct knocks on my bedroom door. No one was there. Damned place is haunted, sure as shootin’!” --- President Harry S. TrumanSome people firmly believe that the White House, the primary residence of the president of the United States, is haunted by ghosts.Among the spooks allegedly spotted wandering the rooms and corridors of the Executive Mansion are past presidents, first ladies, their children, and various other ghosties and ghouls who just seem to be hanging about.One of its most famous ghosts is Abraham Lincoln who, it seems, was an avid ghost hunter himself.I wonder what he would be thinking about the last few years of politics in America?We would ask that you leave us a review and if you haven't done so yet please SUBSCRIBE.Send us a message as we would love to hear from you.Leave us feedback or a message with what you think is going on here on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastIf you have enjoyed this episode please leave us a review and subscribe and share.We would love to hear from you too!Join us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.
