Summary

SKIP TO 17:00 TO GET TO THE STORY Happy first episode of Spooky Season! This week, Aly tells Nat all about the most blood-soaked building in all of Austria: Moosham Castle. Built into a mountain in the forested countryside of Unternberg, this medieval spur castle has been the site of at least 45 battles between 1191 and 1675, including the infamously brutal German Peasants' War. If the bloodshed from multiple wars wasn't haunted enough for you, Moosham Castle was also the location of the imprisonment, trial, torture, and execution of the victims of the Zaubererjackl Witch Trials of 1681. These witch trials are set apart in history due to the demographic of its victims: 109 villagers were executed in just one year, with the majority being children and men. Following the witch trials, werewolf trials were held in this same area, leading to the execution and torture of even more men. Today, the castle has been preserved by a private buyer and remains open to the public as a piece of historical architecture; the torture room still intact with the original tools and instruments used against the werewolves and witches of Austria. Reports of ghostly apparitions and anguished screams still haunt the castle grounds, are you brave enough to step inside?

0:00.0	Welcome back to Let's Get Haunted with your host, Matt Strong, and Allie.
0:21.0	Welcome back guys to episode, uh, fuck, what episode is this, 87 I think?
0:28.9	If you're watching this and you're like, are they stoned? Why are they wearing sunglasses and suits?
0:33.5	And Natalia didn't even have the microphone to the beginning. Um, first of all, we're not stoned.
0:39.2	Oh, no, we're not. No, we're not. We're not second of all. Um, it's because we're the men in black, guys.
0:45.6	Yes. Welcome to our first official episode of spooky season, spooky season.
0:51.8	We're going hard all season, hard in the paint. We, we do not take this lightly.
0:57.5	No, this is like a national holiday slash month for us. That is, that is true and accurate.
1:03.6	Yeah. And this is our culture and don't disrespect our culture. That's right.
1:07.7	Actually, why are you even asking us why we're dressed like this? That's rather offensive to my
1:12.4	paranormal culture. If you don't know who the men in black are, uh, what's that thing on Twitter
1:17.5	where you don't have to explain stuff to people who don't understand your culture?
1:21.2	I feel like it suggests there's no time to explain, which should be our own meme by this point.

1:35.0	do I look better because most of my face is hidden? Oh, perhaps.
1:39.2	Perhaps comment. If you think we look like sexy, victorious, secret models, I have my personal
1:44.7	haunting. So tell me, as everyone knows, I, if you've been listening to this podcast,
1:49.6	I have not been able to take my ADHD medication since I got pregnant because I don't trust it.
1:55.7	Because it's a stimulant. And I, like, you know, all the bad stuff they say about violence and
2:00.0	add or all. Right. There's got, like, even if it's not true, like half of the people are like,
2:03.9	no, it's just addicts that abuse it. And then half of the people are like, it permanently messes
