  • The audio is messed up

    The audio for American nightmares 16 episode is messed up. There are gaps of silence and in some places the audio is overlapping with other narration. Love the show. But this isn’t the first time.

  • Gangsters?

    I was looking for a new, good podcast about ghosts and things and was intrigued by the name American Hauntings only to discover the podcast is all about Al Capone and his buddies??

    Maybe it’s me but, I don’t see the connection.
