What do you get when you mix a flooded valley, a sunken ghost town, and hundreds of tragic deaths? You get Lake Lanier, the most infamous body of water in Georgia, and maybe the most haunted lake in America.

In this chilling and chatty episode of Inherited Hauntings, Nancy and Lindsey dive headfirst into Lanier’s dark history: the infamous town swallowed by water, the eerily high number of drownings and disappearances, and the numerous accounts of ghostly hands pulling swimmers under. From phantom rafts that vanish into thin air, to apparitions that wander the shorelines, we explore why this man-made lake has become a breeding ground for terrifying stories.

But that’s not all; Nancy and Lindsey also share a few unsettling incidents from their own time spent in bodies of water. Spoiler alert: sometimes the lake reaches back.

Spooky, weird, and just the right amount of unhinged, this haunted lake trip will make you laugh, shiver, and maybe wonder whether that ripple in the dark is just a fish... or something reaching up.

If you’ve ever wondered whether water can hold memories, if restless spirits still linger below the surface, or if you should think twice before that late-night swim… this episode is for you.

Was it the most haunted object in the world… or the internet’s greatest ghost story hustle?
In this episode of Inherited Hauntings, Nancy and Lindsey pry open (figuratively… we’re not that reckless) the infamous Dybbuk Box, a creepy wine cabinet said to imprison a malicious spirit from Jewish folklore. From its chilling “possession” stories and viral eBay listing to celebrity encounters and its current life behind glass in Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum, we unravel the tangled web of fact, fiction, and full-on fakelore.

But here’s the twist: in 2021, original seller Kevin Mannis admitted the entire backstory was made up. So… case closed? Not so fast. We explore every theory, from elaborate hoax to haunted-by-belief, and ask the question: can an object become cursed simply because enough people believe it is?

Also in this episode:

• Folklore vs. Fakelore Quiz — can you spot the real legends from the made-up ones?
• Why people ignore “DO NOT OPEN” warnings (spoiler: humans are bad at self-preservation)
• Paranormal marketing 101 — how a spooky story goes viral
• True crime crossover moments (fraud? cultural misrepresentation?)

If you love haunted objects, strange histories, paranormal controversies, and laughing while you question reality, this is your jam.

Beneath the beauty of America’s National Parks lies something far more chilling than poison ivy or a wrong turn. In this episode of Inherited Hauntings, Nancy and Lindsey lace up their hiking boots and head into the shadowy forests, foggy trails, and unsettling mysteries surrounding some of the most baffling disappearances ever recorded.

From the sudden vanishing of 6-year-old Dennis Martin in the Great Smoky Mountains, to a murdered family discovered under baffling circumstances, and the eerie case of 14-year-old Stacy Arras in Yosemite — we follow the trail of missing persons who stepped into the wild and were never seen the same way again... if at all.

We also explore the patterns identified by Missing 411 author David Paulides: cases where search dogs refuse to track, clothes are found folded or far from the body, and victims re-appear in places that were already searched. Shoes go missing, time doesn’t add up, and the terrain turns inexplicably treacherous.

Are these tragic accidents, criminal cover-ups, or evidence of something stranger lurking just beyond the trailhead?

With a mix of sharp wit, deep curiosity, and a healthy respect for both the rational and the ridiculous, your favorite mother-daughter duo takes a look at the clues the wilderness has left behind, and the ones it hasn’t.
