The episode includes an interview with Amanda DeShong, a local medium who uses her gift to connect to the spirit world. Cassie and Alex chat with Amanda about how she came into this practice, common misconceptions about mediumship, and tips for those who want to get more in touch with their spiritual side. Later in the episode, hear tales from listeners who called in to share stories from their haunted Wheeling homes. We had one listener story that was so good, we had to bring them in for an interview! We close out the episode with some Halloween history and its connection to Samhain, an ancient Celtic celebration.

Until next time...stay spooky!

Mary Ellen has helped restore the home and put it back into use by running a successful business. Along the way, she's had a few experiences that led us all to believe that the home's former owner might be sticking around to keep an eye on things. Listen and decide for yourself. 

We also hear from Taylor Abbott, a local historian who provides insight into what Wheeling was like while John McLure was alive and his ties to Wheeling's boating industry and beyond!
