Episode 83: Slice of the Paranormal investigates the Iron Vines Winery in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, a unique location known for wine, live music, and an atmosphere that feels anything but ordinary. At first glance it is a relaxed and artsy venue, but staff and visitors have reported unexplained noises, a shadow figure near the bar, and strange activity in the basement that some describe as fairylike presence. We were granted access after hours to explore the building with staff on site. During the investigation, we documented strange occurrences, heard local stories tied to the property, and uncovered possible names connected to the reported activity. Whether coincidence or something lingering beneath the surface, the energy shifted in ways that were hard to ignore. Despite the unsettling moments, the experience carried an oddly welcoming tone. Even the unexplained felt calm rather than threatening. We will definitely be returning to Iron Vines Winery to continue the investigation, enjoy the live entertainment, and see if the stories deepen or fade with time.

Episode 82: In this episode we explore the Ghost Girls, better known as the Radium Girls! We traveled to Orange, New Jersey to walk the site where the United States Radium Corporation once stood. A place where the local area became so contaminated it was declared a Superfund site, leading to 1,600 tons of radioactive material and environmental waste being removed during cleanup efforts. New Jersey isn't the only state connected to the dark history of radium poisoning, radioactive contamination, and abandoned industrial sites. We also discuss other radioactive locations tied to America's nuclear past, including forgotten factories, toxic hotspots, and places paranormal investigators, urban explorers, and history lovers may recognize. So if you've ever wanted to grab a Geiger counter and explore America's most radioactive haunted locations, this episode is for you. Sources:

Episode 80: The coal region of Pennsylvania is full of dark, chilling tales, and none are darker than the story of the Gordon Mountain Ghost. On this episode, we traveled to Broad Mountain to explore the site of a 1925 murder that still haunts the region. A young woman was brutally bludgeoned and burned, and legend says her spirit still roams the mountain, searching for her killer or for justice.

The crime captured national attention, with dozens of newspaper articles chronicling the tragedy and reports of her ghost appearing on the mountain. Séances were held, and hundreds of cars lined the mountain road, all hoping for a glimpse of her lost soul.

Join us as we dig into this 101-year-old mystery and uncover the eerie history of the Gordon Mountain Ghost.

Episode 79: The Slice of the Paranormal team teamed up with the Odd and Untold Podcasts and Jason Stroming for an exclusive, personal tour of Sailor's Snug Harbor. Jason has investigated this Staten Island landmark many times and even helped produce a documentary about its ghostly lore. Thousands of sailors lived and died here, and with a history of a few murders, it's no wonder a number of spirits still call the site home.

We explored the grounds, including the Matrons House, the Governors House, and the surrounding gardens, hoping to catch a glimpse of the helpful sailor ghost known as "Old Salty." Along the way, we took in the beautiful botanical gardens and soaked up the stories that make Sailor's Snug Harbor one of Staten Island's most haunted sites.

Join us for this episode as we dive into the chilling lore, share encounters from the grounds, and of course, enjoy some Staten Island pizza. It's a paranormal adventure you won't want to miss.

Episode 78: The Slice of the Paranormal team loves to travel, and when we hit the road we can't resist stopping at places that dive deep into cryptids, UFOs, ghosts, and seriously dark artifacts. In this episode we head to Elizabethtown in Lancaster County to explore the strange and unforgettable House of Oddities and Curious Goods.

Owner Jeremiah Crowther has been collecting bizarre artifacts since the 1980s, and his shop is packed with items that blur the line between history, sideshow oddities, and the paranormal. Inside you will find everything from a human skull and a repossessed tattoo to Blackbeard's booger and Martyr Blood balls. The shop also features classic sideshow gaffs from the closed Gettysburg Dime Museum, including Jo Jo the Dog Faced Boy and Edgar the Alligator Man. Turn a corner and you might come face to face with a statue of John Wayne Gacy dressed as Pogo the Clown, or see a preserved sample of Charles Manson's hair.

We also talk about another fascinating Lancaster County location that sadly no longer exists. The town of Columbia is famous for a local cryptid known as the Albatwitch, a small Bigfoot like creature said to steal apples from orchards. The legend is so popular that the town hosts the annual Albatwitch Festival, which attracts cryptid hunters and folklore fans from all over.

Local paranormal researcher Rick Fisher once operated the National Museum of Mysteries and Research, which displayed his personal collection of artifacts connected to Bigfoot, Mothman, UFO sightings, and the Albatwitch. The museum also held more than 1500 books, posters, and newspaper clippings covering decades of paranormal research.

While the museum itself is gone, Rick is currently restoring the historic Columbia Market House Dungeon and offers tours of the site. He is also the author of Ghosts of the River Towns, a must have for anyone exploring the haunted history and strange legends of Lancaster County.

Episode 77: You can't go to Gettysburg as a ghost hunter and not visit the Farnsworth House Inn, a location known for its 16 resident spirits and one of the most haunted inns in Gettysburg. This is a place where you can stay overnight, book a ghost hunt, enjoy a great meal, or have a drink inside Sweney's Tavern. Book a room with a Boo and request the Sara Black Room, a popular choice for anyone searching for a true haunted hotel experience in Gettysburg. You can also book a paranormal investigation and explore the attic where the Civil War sharpshooter, believed by some to be connected to the death of Jennie Wade, was once stationed. During past investigations, the ghost boy Jeremy has been known to tug on shirts, adding to the long list of reported paranormal activity at the Farnsworth House Inn. If the attic does not deliver, head to the basement, another well known hotspot for ghost activity. The space features a haunted mirror and is set up in a way that feels like a funeral, complete with dim lighting and church pew seating. It creates an atmosphere that stands out even among other haunted places in Gettysburg. We even knocked on the door marked by Lorraine Warren, who painted an exorcism cross on it to keep dark spirits away. At times, there have been reports of something knocking back. Many well known ghost hunters and paranormal investigators have visited this location and support its reputation as one of the most haunted locations in Pennsylvania. If you are planning a Gettysburg ghost tour or searching for the top haunted places in Gettysburg, be sure not to miss the Farnsworth House Inn.
