Summary

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the haunted history of the Red Onion Saloon in Skagway, Alaska—a place where the Gold Rush never really ended, and some say the spirits of the past refuse to leave. From its days as a high-class brothel to its current role as a historic saloon and museum, the Red Onion’s creaking floors have witnessed more than their share of secrets. But could some of those secrets still walk the halls today? We’ll explore the story of Lydia, a madam whose perfume lingers long after her death, and the countless eerie encounters reported by staff and visitors alike.

Are these ghostly events the lingering echoes of history—or just the product of a town steeped in folklore? Join us as we unravel the facts, the fables, and the chilling reality of one of Alaska’s most famous haunts.

0:00.0	I can't tell you how often I hear, oh, I'm a little OCD. I like things neat. That's not OCD.
0:06.3	I'm Howie Mandel, and I know this because I have OCD. Actual OCD causes relentless,
0:12.6	unwanted thoughts. What if I did something terrible and forgot? What if I'm a bad person? Why am I
0:17.9	thinking this terrible thing? It makes you question absolutely everything and you'll do
0:22.2	anything to feel better. OCD is debilitating, but it's also highly treatable with the right

1:00.0	What if I told you that right now, millions of people are living with a debilitating condition that's so misunderstood, many of them don't even know that they have it?
1:07.6	That condition is obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD.
1:11.8	I'm Dr. Patrick McGrath, the chief clinical officer of no-CD. And in the 25 years I've been
1:16.3	treating OCD, I've met so many people who are suffering from the condition in silence,
1:20.7	unaware of just what it was. OCD can create overwhelming anxiety and fear around what you value
1:26.0	most, make you question your identity,
1:28.4	beliefs, and morals, and drive you to perform mentally and physically draining compulsions or rituals.
1:33.6	Over my career, I've seen just how devastating OCD can be when it's left untreated.
1:38.6	But help is available.
1:40.1	That's where NoCD comes in.
