The Sterling Opera House in Derby, Connecticut, is one of New England’s most haunted and historically complex buildings. Opened in 1889 as a grand cultural landmark, it hosted performers like Harry Houdini, John Philip Sousa, and Amelia Earhart. Also, it hid a whole police station and jail directly beneath the stage. While audiences applauded upstairs, criminals sat locked in the cells below.

In this episode, we explore the opera house’s dramatic past, its ties to the Titanic, its rumored Houdini escape stunt, and the decades it sat abandoned. Then we dive into the paranormal activity that has made the Sterling a hotspot for investigators: voices in the basement, unexplained scratches, the balcony spirit known as “Andy,” and sightings of the White Lady.

A deep look at Connecticut history, true crime, and one of the state’s most active haunted locations.

Dudleytown is internet royalty in the world of haunted places. Search the name and you’ll find the “Village of the Damned,” a cursed valley where birds refuse to sing, colonists went mad in droves, and a Tudor-era beheading supposedly poisoned an entire bloodline. The Warrens called it demonically possessed. Ghost hunters sneak past the “Dark Entry” signs at night hoping to feel the silence press in on their ears.

But the real story is stranger.

In the winter of 1939, something started screaming in the woods of South Glastonbury. Goats were ripped apart in their pens, dogs vanished from frozen yards, and hunters swore they’d glimpsed a black, low-slung creature that moved like liquid through the hurricane-torn timber. It wasn’t a dog. It wasn’t a cat. It was something in between, and the Hartford Courant gave it a name that stuck: the Glawackus.

But the real story is stranger. And a lot more human.

The people of East Haddam have lived with a problem most towns never have to think about: the ground itself screams. For centuries, residents around Mount Tom and Moodus have reported sudden, deafening booms that shake houses, topple stone walls, and roll across the Connecticut River Valley like artillery fire from an invisible war. The Wangunk called it Machimoodus - “the place of bad noises.” The Puritans blamed God. Later generations blamed witches, alchemists, and even buried gems glowing in the dark.

But the real story is stranger. And much louder.

In this episode, we trace the history of the Moodus Noises, from Hobomock and the Wangunk origin story, to Reverend Hosmer’s terrified letters, the legendary “surgery” of Dr. Steele and his Great Carbuncle, the summer resorts that turned the booms into a tourist attraction, Lovecraft’s Dunwich connection, the nuclear plant built alarmingly close by, and the modern seismologists who tried to pin it all on shallow, stressed bedrock… only to have the noises keep coming anyway.

A tale of geology, religion, folklore, cosmic horror, and what happens when the loudest voice in town belongs to the earth itself.

The White Lady of Easton isn’t just a campfire tale. She steps into the road. She dents steel. And for some drivers on Route 59, she changes the color of the world itself.

For decades, witnesses have reported a woman in white drifting out of Union Cemetery, a colonial burial ground with a reputation that spans from Connecticut folklore to the files of the Warrens. Police officers, firefighters, commuters… all describing the same figure, the same intersection, the same terrifying moment when she appears directly in front of a moving car.

But the real story is stranger. And much older.

In this episode, we dig into the history behind Union Cemetery, the tragedies tied to its stones, the possible identities of the White Lady, from grieving mothers to murdered brides to victims thrown into forgotten sinkholes, and the modern chaos that fame brought to this quiet New England town. Because while the legends grow, the dents in the cars, the arrests, and the vandalized graves tell a much more complicated story.

A tale of grief, violence, folklore, and the intersection where the living and the dead keep meeting whether they want to or not.

Borley Rectory in Essex has been called many things: England’s most haunted house, a Gothic tragedy come to life, a fraud, a furnace, and a mirror for whatever fears people carried inside its walls. Families saw nuns gliding along garden paths. Servant bells rang in empty rooms. Walls filled with messages begging for help. And when the house finally burned in 1939, witnesses swore a woman stood in the flames, untouched.

But the real story is stranger. And far more complicated.

A tale of folklore, fraud, longing, loneliness, and why some houses don’t need to stand for their stories to survive.
