Hey everyone. Got a feed drop for you all for a show that I think you'll really enjoy. I know

I do. Every town has a ghost story. That creepy house at the end of the road that all the locals

whisper about. The decaying old abandoned hospital that seems to lure you in. That one cemetery

that always seems to have a thick layer of fog and twisted dead trees.

Hometown Ghost Stories is a podcast that uncovers the secrets of those haunted locations.

Every week, Rob, Dave, and Jesse dive into the history of these towns.

From small villages that you may never have heard of to big cities all around the world,

You can also catch their show live every Tuesday night streaming on YouTube at 9 p.m. Eastern
