  • Fun adventure through haunted America!

    The narrator is such a personable person, this feels like storytelling around a campfire. There’s always good history mixed with the stories. The stories are fantastic in their retelling. My only complaint is the mispronunciation of Willamette Valley in Oregon - the saying to remember it is that “it’s Willamette, d**mn it!” (Yes it rhymes!).
