In this episode, we (Haley & Tammy) dive into two of Oklahoma's (our home state!) most infamous haunted hotspots: Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa and the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City. From cowboy ghosts who apparently want to spend their afterlife two-steppin on the dance floor to a female ghost who gets a little too friendly with some terrified NBA players. Expect eerie history, unsettling encounters, and plenty of laughs. Tonight, we're talking haunted places where the dead are fearless - and the living are most definitely not.
