On the Night Train with Henry and Jeff: Recent Episodes
paige johnson
Conversations about hauntings, personal paranormal experiences, UFOs, cryptids, the strange and unusual. Each episode will introduce a new subject and new adult beverage
Blood magic is associated with black magic but it isn't always dark. It's something to be used as a last resort. Today we just scratched the surface of this form of magic and we should be delving into it more. We aren't suggesting you try this on your own and if you do, proceed with caution.
Oh we have a shop for merch

Cocktail: Witches Brew cocktail mixer from Williams-Sonoma mixed with tequila
We're continuing down this rabbit hole and talking about some of the relics they hunted like the Spear of Destiny. Yep, the lance that supposedly pierced the side of Jesus while he was being crucified.
Cocktail: Red Cauldron-tequila, black raspberry liqueur, orange liqueur, simple syrup, lime juice, rim glass with black sugar.
Starting down this rabbit hole. It's disturbing, it's dark, it's heartbreaking. We in no way condone their actions but we're trying to understand them. Yes, it's difficult.
We're drinking beer tonight. Keeping it simple and not wanting to think to hard considering the subject.
The Myrtles Plantation in St Francisville, LA.
Hear why it's called 'most haunted'. Former slaves, former owners, soldiers, children are still there. Murder, torture, execution- all the stuff.
Beverage: 7&7

A brownstone house in Greenwich Village,NYC, has somewhere around 26 ghosts. We won't be talking about all of them but the more famous ones like Mark Twain, aka Samuel Clemens. This particular house has seen it's share of death and some of the deceased just don't want to leave.
and we had a bit of technical difficulties, so listen to part 2
Cocktail-Angry Balls:Fireball & Angry Orchard hard cider.
We lost our internet connection towards the end of the session so we picked up where we left off.
Welcome back! This episode is about Zozo, the Ouija board demon. We really do discuss him! Henry will also tell us about his personal Ouija board experiences. Luckily, he didn't encounter any demons that we know of.
Cocktail: Lemon Ginger Moonshine/vodka-lemonade, honey powder, markut lime leaves, ground ginger, moonshine/vodka
We welcome our man James back & this time he's telling us all about the Land Between the Lakes aka LBL. Apparently there's some dark stuff over there - the government kicking people off their land, cursed land, cryptids. Dogmen and Sasquatch hunting together which according to lore doesn't happen. Squatch and dogmen supposedly don't get along but they hunt together. He's telling us all kinds of information that we didn't know.
Welcome back to the show.
Bobby Mackey's has a reputation of being haunted and we decided to discuss its history. Just recently the building got demolished. There are videos on YouTube of the last investigations if you're interested. Some of the activity and history has been debunked and some things just don't add up. Jump down this rabbit hole with us.
Beverage: Bold Rock
Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter
Warning: this show gets a bit graphic. We decided to take a detour and talk about pirates and how they executed & tortured victims and other pirates. It was pretty rough.
What alcoholic beverage do you associate with pirates? Rum. That's what we're drinking tonight. Capt Morgan's mixed with fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and water to make Grog.
Stay strange
The boys are drinking Genesee beer from Rochester,NY tonight. A cheap beer from their NY childhoods. It fits well with our topic this episode of remembering what set us on this paranormal journey, not the cheap part though! We went off in a few different directions but that's normal for us.
Remember we're on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X
Welcome back Ryan, our family expert on movies, plays, television and the dark history behind them.
This show he's talking about the movie Poltergeist and the unusual happenings with the cast & production staff. This iconic horror movie from the '80's had some potentially paranormal occurences while filming.
Cocktail: Tim's Pink Potion-vodka, strawberry lemonade, lime juice.

The White House in Washington,DC has a few occupants that aren't exactly alive, at least in the way that we know alive to be. Lincoln is said to still be roaming the halls of the White House along with a few others. One is still doing laundry. Not how i would want to spend eternity.
Cocktail: Paige's Demon-Trial &Error Ginger vodka, oj, bitters

Hopefully, we didn't butcher the names too badly. Today we went out of country for a topic, all the way to Romania. And as usual we went off topic a bit.
Hoia Baciu is also known as the Bermuda Triangle of Romania. People go in but don't come out. We're thinking it's a portal, wormhole or something.
Cocktail: Jalapeno margarita-Jalapeno limeade from Trader Joes, orange liqueur, tequila

This week we kept the drink simple-Sam Adams Summer Ale
It's been an odd week.
We went to one of our favorite wineries that happens to be rather haunted and did an impromptu investigation. I had the tool bag with me so why not?
Then a few of us went to a Witches Table meet up at a local establishment in RVA. Very welcoming, Henry learned a few things. His mind is opening up to all sorts of things. Imagine.

Trying to figure out what exactly the Bell Witch of Tennessee is. Ghost? Poltergiest? Entity? Disembodied spirit? It fits all but at the same time none. It's an interesting case. Will someone solve the mystery one day? Probably not in our lifetime.
Cocktail: Witches panties-melon liqueur, raspberry vodka, light cream.

Welcome back!
Churches. They can be haunted also. New Orleans has one or 2, and so does Stafford, VA. We'll be talking about one in NOLA and on in VA. Both are haunted by women.
Bevereage: Mountain Laurel red table wine from Chateau Morrisette. It's sweet. I may make a slushy with the bottle I found in the wine rack when it warms up.

Hotel Cecil-where they check in but don't always check out. This hotel has a rather dark past-lots of death by suicide, natural causes or murder. The infamous serial killer Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, stayed there for a bit while on his killing spree. And there's the unsolved case of Elisa Lam. Haunted? of course
Cocktail: The Eclipse-vodka, vanilla creamer, chocolate liqueur, chocolate syrup. It's a dessert in a glass.

We decided to return to this small cemetery. The spirits didn't want to come out to play. Can't make them perform on command.
Beverage was a blood orange cider that I picked up at Trader Joe's. I'll buy it again. We don't always do cocktails, the bartender occasionally needs a break.

This is one of my favorite musicals and Ryan returns to tell us the backstory.

It's been a couple of years since we discussed the Black Eyed Kids aka BEK, so we thought we would revisit them. What are they? Where do they come from? Urban legend? Recent thing? But one thing we agree on is Do Not Let Them In!
Cocktail: Black Russian

America‘a first permanent English settlement went through a rough time. There’s probably a lot of guilt and the original settlers could still be dealing with it in the afterlife. It’s an interesting place to visit for the history both light & dark. Of course it has its own Lady in White. They are everywhere! Cocktail: margaritas ( National Margarita Day)--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paige-johnson86/message
Cold Harbor was a slaughter. It was a very costly victory for Lee. 7000 dead. At the ruins of a parsonage you can still see where cannon balls hit. We contacted a few spirits including a not so friendly one. We have video on YouTube of the investigation.

Welcome back. As we all know by now Virginia has its share of hauntings, & this episode we will talk about a few including a couple of favorite spots-Grayhaven Winery and the Haunted Winery. Shirley Plantation has a painting that can get naughty if it doesn't get its way. The one at Haw Branch isn't naughty but lets its feelings be known. Paintings or ghosts have feelings too.

The bayous in south Louisiana are home to many strange and wonderful things; the animals, the people, the history, the spirituality, some of it dark, some of it not. Walter, who grew up in the swamps and along the bayous has a few stories to tell us including personal experiences.
Cocktail-Voodoo Daiqurie: 2oz bourbon, 2oz vodka, 4oz grape juice served over crushed ice. A bit sneaky it is.

Our last show of the year! Continuing with our theme of dark holiday traditions, we're getting told the backstory of the Nutcracker ballet. It's a bit dark-potential child bride,& pedophilia. We also found out that there's 2 versions of the story- the original which is rather dark and the 2nd which is just a little bit lighter, but not much.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We gave Henry a break tonight so it's just 3 of us.
We're continuing with the Victorian practice of holiday ghost stories so join us for a story about Krampus. Unfortunately, it's a little late for Krampusnacht. Better late than never. I must admit that in our house we have a thing for Krampus.

Welcome back to our little podcast where we're talking about ships that have seen combat and are now haunted. Traumatic deaths usually make for a good haunting. Hopefully, soon we will make an overnight investigation on the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, VA. I have a feeling it will be after the holidays.

Welcome back. Audio may be a bit off, we caught Walter on the way home from deer hunting. He's on the phone in his truck talking to us. He killed a buck, that's meat on the table! There's some background noise to deal with but hopefully not too much.
Tonight we're talking about some of our favorite Virginia hauntings, those we have experienced, heard about, and want to revisit.
Beverage: Lavender Mist Sparkling white wine.

We're back! We went in 3 different directions-south, north, west.
Walter drove up to Salem, Mass and Maine. He's telling us all about it tonight. He learned a few things while in Salem. One thing he discovered is that October is NOT the time to go to Salem-very crowded & commercialized. We're going to have to take a road trip to Salem just not in October.
Jeff and I returned to Shepherdstown,WV & the spirits were not active. Nobody wanted to come out to play. We enjoyed it, learned some stuff about Harpers Ferry and it's ghosts.
Henry went to Florida with his wife to renew their vows on the beach.

Welcome back. Just an FYI: tonight's a bit longer as we welcome back Helen Marie Powell as we discuss witchcraft and Voodoo. I apologize if I got the definition of warlock wrong, I was going by memory of what I had heard was the original definition. Sorcerer was mentioned which is usually male but also high magick. Walter mentioned American Horror Story: Coven which took place in New Orleans which is known for Voodoo. You will find many Voodoo shops in the French Quarter, albeit a bit touristy, but fun. Walter also told us about Mary Oneida Toups who founded the Religious Order of Witchcraft the first coven to be chartered in Louisiana as a religious organization. I may be related to her since my maternal grandfather was a Toups.

Welcome back to the show. We're revisiting exorcism, one in particular, one made famous by the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Was she possessed? Was it mental illness? Abuse? The victim's soul? We have questions and we still have questions.

Welcome back to the show. Sorry about the lack of music, things happen. I'm thinking about changing it anyway.
We had an unexpected guest of Walter's chime in tonight with his personal experiences. I think he's moving to our area so we may hear more from him. We're talking about why we do this podcast and investigations. For one, there's unfortunately still a stigma attached to these topics, be it ghosts, UFO/UAP, cryptids, etc., and we're trying to get people to be more comfortable with them. When people find out what we do, many times they open up to us. We're talking complete strangers who open up to us about their experiences. Amazing really.
Tonight we're drinking Apple Pie Moonshine from Devils Due Distillery in Kearneysville, WV. We're running out so road trip to WV!

James came back to visit with us, (he may end up on the payroll when we start making money). The man really likes cryptids. He's going to tell us all about Skinwalkers including a bit about the famous SkinWalker Ranch. That place has some stuff going on! Really curious about the mesa and the Triangle area. Guess we will have to wait until they figure it out. We discuss Native American lore about the Skinwalker and the different types from each tribe. Apparently, they're common to many of the tribes with different names and possibly different traits.
Tonights beverage is Tram-Mosa, a Virginia white wine. Henry requested wine for tonight so I obliged. It's a bit sweet which he likes. Tram-Mosa is from one of our happy places, Ashton Creek Vineyards. Made from 100% Va grown Traminette grapes, fermented on the skins & aged 3 months in French Oak barrels. Lightly sparkling.

Welcome back to the chase.
We went to a local winery that is rather haunted. This place has a lot of activity. It was originally a plantation built in 1837 by the Southhall family. On the grounds are unmarked graves of the slaves, possibly unmarked graves of soldiers, a former jail cell in the basement of the house, and at one point was used as a field hospital for the Battle of Sailors Creek. The Battle of Sailors Creek was fought about 4 miles from the property. There is still a large blood stain on the floor of the room used as the surgery. The story is a Union officer bled out on the floor in that spot. General Lee had dinner there before he surrendered. With all the trauma that took place there, unmarked graves and such, there are some restless spirits there and unexplained occurrences.
Cocktail-Cuba libre made with Virago Rum

Tonight is all about Marie Laveau the VooDoo Queen of New Orleans. Rumor has it that she was an evil person but as you will find out, she wasn't, unless you cross her she may not be very nice in return. For 2 of us who grew up in Louisiana, we heard about her most of our life. She was an influencer and of course, with fame, she had her haters. She was a free woman of color who was a hairdresser with a wealthy, white clientele. Needless to say, she heard a lot of gossip whilst working and she used that to her advantage.

Welcome back! Notice the name change. We added a new member and changed the name to something more fitting.
Richmond, VA is full of Civil War sites. It was the capital of the Confederacy and many battles were fought near it. With battles come hospitals and casualties. We visited this small cemetery south of Richmond and were not disappointed. It was a hot spot. We concluded that many of these men and or women just want their stories told, they want to be known, not be forgotten. I found a list of known burials and need to do a bit of research to see if I can find out anything about them.
We have video of the investigation on YouTube

Welcome back!
We took a roadtrip to the Crawford Rd Bridge in Yorktown, VA. Let's just say that it did NOT disappoint! The bridge itself and the road underneath it is covered with lots of graffiti. The location is fairly rural but there are houses not too far from it. The dowsing rods went crazy, we caught a few EVP's, and some stuff on the SLS camera app. We were there at dusk and had to leave at twilight because Henry, our sensitive, was getting overwhelmed and needed to get out of there. We're going to have to start working on how to protect him from this stuff. So we went to the Yorktown Pub for a drink and a bite to eat. We recommend that place-good food, good drinks, friendly staff. Oh and Henry brought along his friends from the bridge to the pub. And apparently those Civil War soldiers enjoyed the pub. Go figure.
This episode's beverage is apple cider and Fireball. A taste of autumn, our favorite season.

Welcome back to the show. James is returning tonight to discuss Dogmen with us. James has a lot of knowledge on various subjects that he likes to share with us and our listeners. As usual, we talk about the legends and the possibility of their existence. Cryptids in general are an interesting topic. I can see how they could be a possible unknown species....maybe.
Beverage=Chambourcin Port from Haunted Vineyards. It's made in a non-traditional method. This Ruby Port has lingering hints of ripe berries, tobacco & black licorice. I would have this after dinner sitting by a fire with a good book. If you're ever in Jetersville, VA (blink and you miss it) give them a visit. Great couple, friendly dogs, and delicious wines.

Thanks for stopping by to listen to our conversation on Feral people. Follow us down the few rabbit holes we fell down tonight. Some of the things we discuss may be a bit disturbing for some people-incest and cannibalism. We were joking around with some of it. We definitely do NOT condone any of this behavior just that it's part of the topic.

Grimm's fairy tales are a bit grim, and we're going to talk about them. Disney did a bit of white washing of these tales and our guest Ryan is going to strip away that white washing. It seems that a lot of these stories are to scare humans into behaving, morality tales if you will. Cinderella, Snow White, Hansel & Gretel are rather dark.
Sorry it's longer than normal.

Thanks for stopping by during your busy life. Today we're talking about Melon Heads, a group of feral people in the USA that live in specific states. We just recently heard about them, so figured we would tell y'all about them. Melon Heads aren't in our state or the states we lived in which is why we haven't heard of them.

Shockoe Bottom in Richmond,VA is a historic part of the city that was a major slave trading center. During the Civil War many of the buildings there were used as hospitals. Today many of the historic buildings are being renovated to house apartments, restaurants, shops, and bars. And we know what happens when surroundings get changed-ghost don't like it.
Just a warning-this episode did get derailed a bit but we got back on track.

The team went to the Virginia Renaissance Festival Memorial Day weekend. Three of us dressed in garb, two didn't. So much more fun when dressed up! It was a record-breaking attendance day for the festival! It was crowded but didn't feel crowded; more vendors this year which is good. It was the first Renaissance faire for Ryan, and he loved it. Think I may have another convert. Renaissance festivals are something we enjoy doing. People watching, shinies, food, drink, entertainment-just a few of our favorite things!

Welcome back. In this show, we're going to Broadway to talk about the haunted theaters there. Ryan Billings who is a theater major at Adelphi University is going to tell us about a few of these haunts. This is Ryan's 3rd time being on the show; starting to think that I'm going to have to start paying him somehow! It'll look good on his resume.
Ryan provided tonight's cocktail the Ozmopolitan, think the musical 'Wicked'. It's apple vodka, melon liqueur, lime, and lemon juice. Shaken over ice, strained into a cocktail glass. I added a bit of simple syrup to cut the tartness a bit and give it a bit of balance. Needless to say, it's very green. It's a sipping drink.

Once again we are joined by James Johnson, this time to talk about Mars. This time we don't go into conspiracy theories but more into the scientific aspects of what's happening on Mars. We touched on space travel, why it's important that we go to Mars, and what will be the driving force behind going to the Red Planet. If you guess money, you're correct. It's going to be very expensive with the primary expense being water. If water is found on Mars that will help with the cost but if not, well it will become more expensive. Join us as we take a look at the Red Planet.

Thanks for stopping by and giving a listen. We're talking about Edgar Alan Poe and his death on this episode. Poe's death is still a mystery. There are several theories surrounding it including rabies. The circumstances leading up to his death are mysterious. How did he end up on the street in someone else's ragged clothes, unconscious? He was taken to the local hospital where he lingered for four days. Unfortunately, we can't rely on his attending physicians notes because of the lack of inconsistencies. The man's story changed in each telling. Not a good thing in a physician. After his death Poe has been sighted at several places in Baltimore, the Bronx and other places he visited. Poe has been known to get around in his afterlife.

Continuing with Shepherdstown, WV ghosts we talk a little more about Connor. His story really touched Henry. Agreed that it is a sad story and we did what we could for his spirit while there.
We leave WV and head over to Clifton, VA for the story of Bunny Man. It's an urban legend that may have a bit of truth. But most legends have a tiny bit of truth that gets embellished as time goes on. Think of the fishing stories and how the fish gets bigger and bigger each time the tale is told.
Next is the infamous Crawford Rd in Yorktown, VA. From Revolutionary War battle sounds to a suicidal jilted bride can be experienced there.
I foresee another road trip or two in our near future to Crawford Rd and Bunny Man bridge.

Shepherdstown, WV, what to say about that charming, quaint mountain town that's full to the brim with history & ghosts? New St is rather active even though we didn't see anything but there was a noticeable temperature drop when we got there. I did get a chill once or twice there. Shepherdstown Mystery Walks is the tour we took. Very well done, the tour guide is very knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, and dresses in period clothing. We met with her before the tour where we got a bit more than what is told on the tour.
On the drive up we stopped off at a winery for a break, talked to the staff about the show, and got more ghost stories from the staff. Jeff opened up the SLS app on his phone, scanned the room, and found a small entity standing under the bar. It was child-sized. The building is new, so we're thinking it was part of the land, passing through, native, etc.
The Airbnb we stayed in had an entity hanging around the ceiling fan. I heard a bang like a door slamming or something wooden. The footsteps Henry heard were debunked-people living in the apartment upstairs.
Beverage: Charm City Wildflower mead. Very light, and good for a hot day.

Wee people, fairies, fae, fairfolk are a few names for fairies. As you can tell by the title, fairies are primarily from Celtic countries but other countries have something similar but tonight we're concentrating on the Celts.
Fairy is a broad category encompassing fairies, elves, trolls, brownies, leprechauns, etc. and they aren't all cute, sweet little creatures. Some of them can be a bit vindictive, and there are some that are mischievous. Pranksters if you will.
We did stay on topic for once this time, with no rabbit holes. But I enjoy rabbit holes sometimes.
Tonight's cocktail: The Green Fairy-absinthe, water, lemon juice, egg white, and angostura bitters. Shake with ice, and strain into glass.

Another Irish legend we're exploring tonight-the Banshee. Banshees are attached to the ancient Irish families therefore have been around a long time.
As usual we went down an unrelated rabbit hole but we found our way back. Maybe 2 rabbit holes. We went to an oddities show over the weekend where we spent way too much money but found some fun stuff. It was Henry's first oddities show and he had a lot of fun shopping and looking. It's great people watching. We put a pics from the show on Facebook and Twitter. Soon to publish video from it. As soon as I get it edited.
Cocktail: Screaming Banshee-1/2 ounce each creme de banana, creme de cacao, 1oz rum, 2oz half & half, dry shake, pour over ice, top off with club soda. Garnish with banana and cherry.

Leap Castle has been around for about 700yrs and its history is rather bloody. Warring clans, fighting between brothers, power struggles, love affairs, murder, and children's deaths all make for potential hauntings. There's even an Elemental spirit that haunts the grounds. People aren't sure how the Elemental got there. It may have always been there or possibly put there by the Druids to protect the land which was a sacred space for them. Listen to learn more about these ghostly inhabitants of Leap Castle.

The Amish like many other groups have a dark side and it isn't talked about too much. Most groups keep their darkness, well, in the dark, especially to outsiders. Their particular religious beliefs play a significant role in these stories. Witches, demons, apparitions, exorcisms, the Amish have their share. It just goes to show that every culture has its supernatural side.
Tonight's Beverage-Maple Bacon cider from Bryant's Cider in Roseland, VA. Dry cider flavored with bacon and maple pairs well with pancakes. We also mixed it with Apple Pie Moonshine which made it better!

This episode we will tell you about a few of them including one near a town I used to live in, Lufkin,TX. I didn't know about this when I lived there. But these legends do have a common theme besides a crying baby. Let's just say that it is a bit heartbreaking.

Valentines Day wasn't always about hearts, flowers, and chocolates. It goes all the way back to Ancient Rome and wasn't exactly the modern day version of romance unless you liked getting whipped. Some people like that. Come to find out there is more than one St Valentine! The one most commonly associated with the holiday is the saint of epilepsy, beekeepers and lovers. There's more to it than just a Hallmark holiday.

January 24, 2023 we took a ghost tour at Centre Hill Mansion in Petersburg VA. Every January 24 a group of Union soldiers march into the house, go upstairs, stay for 20mins then leave, slamming the door as they go out. You're supposed to be able to hear them including their sabers banging against the stair rail. Unfortunately, we didn't hear anything. I blame it on the group outside the front door laughing and talking loudly. But we did hear other stories of ghostly activities.
Centre Hill Mansion is a beautiful pre-Civil War house that was featured in the PBS series 'Mercy Street'. They offer tours throughout the year, but the ghost tour is only offered on January 24 for the visitation of the ghostly Union soldiers.

On January 24 we took a road trip to the Centre Hill Mansion in Petersburg VA. Centre Hill Mansion is known for a visitation of Union soldiers on January 24 at 7:30 pm. They walk in the front door, go up the stairs to a meeting, 20 minutes later they descend the stairs, exit and slam the door on the way out. Unfortunately, we didn't hear anything and I blame it on the very loud laughter and conversation that was taking place outside the front door. They were just rude! We took the ghost tour which we enjoyed. There's more ghostly activity than just the soldiers walking in and out.
If you're ever in the Richmond, VA area, we recommend taking the 30min drive south to Petersburg and visiting Centre Hill Mansion. If you have seen the PBS series 'Mercy Street' you will recognize the house. It was the setting for the Green family's home.
We did take some video of the ghost tour which is on YouTube

Little footage of the WW Pool mausoleum at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond VA. He is the Richmond Vampire, even though he's only been reported to have been seen only once. He was seen at the collapse of the Church Hill Tunnel. A muscular figure with skin hanging from his frame and jagged teeth was seen hunched over another body. This figure then ran away and hid in the Pool mausoleum. Pool was also kicked out of England for being a vampire. So his reputation followed him.

Shepherdstown, WV is a quaint mountain town that has its share of haunted history. I would say 90% of the hauntings are Civil War related. The town saw 2 battles within a few days of each other. If correct, the entire town of about 400 buildings at the time was used as a hospital including alleyways. As we know surgical techniques at the time weren't as sophisticated as they are today plus hygiene. There was very little washing of hands between patients, if any. There's a haunted clock tower on the college campus; a picture of which is on our FaceBook page. Jeff and I visited Shepherdstown Thanksgiving weekend and I made a quick visit there by myself one day recently. I was in the area for work so I made a side trip.
This evening's beverage is Shiner Bock beer from Shiner, TX. It pairs well with chili, in fact, I put a bottle of it in the chili while it was cooking.

Two different stories about the American Civil War-a young man who passed before his prime & is wanting to join the fun but can't, & a well-respected & liked Confederate officer. The young man's tale is heartbreaking thinking about all he missed out on in life. The officer is sad but he got to live his life.
We decided to record this episode at one of our favorite wineries, one of our happy places-Ashton Creek Vineyard in Chester, VA. Good food and excellent Virginia wines. Their wines have received several awards. They let us record in the barn, their event space, but other patrons loudly interrupted us. Because of that, we had to cut it short. Sorry if the end was a bit abrupt but that's show biz.
If you're ever in Virginia, take a short drive south of the James River to Ashton Creek Vineyard for excellent wine & food. The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. The wines range from dry to sweet in both red & white,

We have a guest speaker in this episode-Ryan Billings. He's Henry's son and has had a fascination with mermaids since he was a little boy. One thing is for sure, we learned a lot about merpeople including how they reproduce. Think fish. Merpeople definitely aren't like the ones in Disney movies. We dive deeply into mermaid lore tonight while sitting out by the fire. I'll be uploading a video of the evening to YouTube also.

More paranormal Civil War occurrences in Ohio and at Antietam. A POW camp with horrendous conditions, a haunted road, and of course the battlefield. We also have a brief description of the different weaponry types used. Henry being a former Civil War reenactor had a few stories.
This episode's cocktail is the Whiskey Cobbler, a cocktail served during the Civil War. It's 3oz whiskey, 1 oz simple syrup (or to taste), club soda, and fresh in season fruit for garnish, served over crushed ice.
You can find a behind-the-scenes video on YouTube and a few others. Hopefully, we will be putting more videos up.

The Mari Lwyd-a decorated horse's skull on a pole, draped with a sheet that challenges people to a rap battle in order to gain entry to the house for food and drink. Any excuse for a party!
Wassail-traditional drink consumed during the winter. Hot cider, oj, spices, possibly spirits. So good on a cold day!
And a Victorian tradition that needs to return-ghost stories at Christmas. Henry tells one in this episode.
To go along with the theme for this episode, we're drinking wassail, at least my version of it. Honey crisp apple cider, oj, cranberry juice cocktail, pomegranate juice, mulling spices & spiked with Devils Due Rye. Damn near perfect. Of course, you can eliminate the Rye for those who don't or can't have alcohol.
Devils Due Distillery is in Kearneysville, WV. All their ingredients are locally sourced. We discovered them the last time I was in the area for work. And I need to go back to replenish our stock of their products. They have some of the best Apple pie moonshine ever!

Krampus Nacht! Krampus is St Nick's evil sidekick or as I like to think of him-St Nick's punisher. Krampus has been around a bit in the Alps and Bavarian areas of Europe. Krampus is a half goat, half man demon looking figure who punishes naughty children by either beating them with birch switches or put in a bag or basket and taken to Hell to be eaten.
Krampus walks or runs are popular in Austria, German, and in US cities. We attended the Richmond VA Krampus Nacht walk and you can see the video on YouTube. Our channel has the same name as the podcast. This one is tame compared to the ones in Europe but still fun.

Grayhaven Winery, this week's sponsor, is one of our favorite Virginia wineries. Jeff and I got married there last year and in the course of the wedding planning we became good friends with the owners/winemakers. On one of our visits we were told that the winery and grounds are haunted. Need less to say that peaked our interests. Grayhaven is built on the site of a former plantation. Onsite there are 2 graveyards-one for the white folks, the other for the slaves. As was the practice of the time, the slave graves aren't marked, you have to know where they are & what to look for. We were told of the personal experiences of Max, owner/winemaker and she has had a few including being touched.
Before going on our walk through the property, Max fed us delicious corn chowder and Grayhaven wine! BTW Grayhaven is just north of Richmond, VA and we strongly encourage anyone who likes wine to go visit them. When the weather is good with a chill in the air you can sit outside by a bonfire drinking mulled wine. Their mulled wine is the best!
As you can tell by the title, Henry doesn't like the woods or at least he didn't that night!
When the weather is warmer, we will return for part 2.

On this episode we talk about missing or dead hikers in Russia and on the Appalachian Trail. It may get gruesome—a bit of mystery with unproven theories. Cattle mutilations were brought up in comparison to the injuries sustained by the Russian hikers.
We were recording outside at Grayhaven Winery so you'll hear background noise like other customers, horses, dogs, fire crackling, wind, and one of the wine stewards coming to check on us. The joys of recording on-site and outside

In the charming town of Niagra-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada is an old inn called 'The Olde Angel Inn'. It's a British-style pub with British pub grub and of course beverages. It's also haunted by Capt Colin Swayze who was killed there one night hiding from American soldiers. He was there for one last rendezvous with his lady love. It's a charming inn with delicious food and good drinks.
Across the border, in Rochester, NY there is the White Lady's Castle. Yes, a lady in white. We visited there but we didn't see her. There were a lot of people there doing photo shoots (a beautiful spot for that). Legend is she usually appears to nubile young things, which we aren't, or couples who are canoodling, which we weren't.
Jeff and I did this while on vacation. We didn't know anything about the Olde Angel Inn being haunted until we got there and found something on the table about it. So vacation turned into something of a field trip.
Tonight's beverage: Devils Due Apple Pie Moonshine from Kearneysville, WV I think it's one of those things available only at the distillery.

Once again we discuss the American Civil War and a haunting related to it. There are a lot of Civil War ghosts and hauntings, some more famous than others.
In honor of the Autumnal Equinox, tonight's cocktail is The Great White Pumpkin made with vodka, cream, and Maggie's Farm pumpkin spice coffee rum. Maggie's Farm Rum is made in Pittsburgh, PA.

This time we're going to Perryville,KY the site of one of the bloodiest Civil War battles. Yes, we realize all battles are bloody but this one was particularly bad. Most of the hauntings center around one particular house which was a field hospital but the whole town seems to be haunted. Sam, a dead soldier, is seen somewhat frequently.

No cocktail tonight but drinking Southern Cross Spiced Rum on the rocks. It's a warm and cozy, fall in a glass rum.

One of my favorite topics-vampires, nosferatu, shtriga, vrykolakas, strigoi, and a few other names from other parts of the world. It seems that vampires are global. Today we're discussing a little bit about lore and modern vampire culture. Yes, there are people who think they are vampires, more psychic energy vampires than anything else. But a few out there indulge in blood consumption but keep it on the down low. Sanguinarian vampires are on the fringe anyway. It seems the people in the vampire community are more there for role-playing anyway. 'Normal' person by day, vampire by night.
Just an FYI: when this was recorded your friendly cat-herder here was very tired, getting frustrated and very easily irritated. The boys decided to drink Modelo beer instead of the cocktail I had planned for the evening. I think Jeff brought me a wine slushy from Ashton Creek Vineyard (big fav of mine) but that didn't help.

We did this unprepared and just started talking about exorcism, and untrained exorcists, and let the conversation lead the way. Our drink for the night was Formerly Known As from Funktastic Mead in Midlothian, VA. If you're in the area, we highly recommend them. These guys have something new every time we visit. The label on this bottle has Prince's symbol as part of the art and purple, of course.
Remember to find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Patreon. We're looking into buying equipment for proper ghost hunting & supporting small businesses like Funktastic Meads, Ashton Creek Vineyards, and Reservoir Distillery, you get the picture.

Getting into demonic possession this time around with an appropriately named cocktail-Demon Possession. We discuss the Catholic church's take on the phenomenon along with other faiths or religions like the Buddahist. We don't go too, too deep into it, I mean there's a lot out there on this topic but bring up some interesting points.

Today we’re taking a look at the urban legend of Black Eyed Kids aka BEK. We’ve been intrigued by them ever since we heard about them but we weren’t sure what to make of them. Because of that we decided to do a show & see what we can figure out if anything. The cocktail of the hour or less is a BEK made with blackberry lemonade moonshine from Country Hammer, made in Pennsylvania. Mix that with a lemon lime soda and you have a refreshing summer drink.
