Summary

They say that Shepherdstown is one of the most haunted towns in the United States. Things seem to linger long after they happened, but here's the interesting part: they may not belong to the dead. In this episode, we examine terrifying encounters, interactive hauntings, and the bizarre events around Shepherdstown, all through the lens of parapsychology. The deeper we go, the more unsettling the truth becomes: some hauntings may need the living to exist.
