0:00.0	I'm Laura Norton, and this is one strange thing,
0:08.4	the show where we search the nation's news archives for stories that can't quite be explained.
0:26.2	Thank you. Do you believe in ghosts?
0:32.4	That's a question that comes up pretty often in our circles, so forgive us if you've already been asked today.
0:34.3	But we find it's a useful litmus test.
0:38.4	Lovers of the strange and unusual tend to fall into a few distinct camps, those who want to

1:54.6	of their houses.
1:57.5	It will come as no surprise when we tell you that the United States is full of more purportedly
2:04.6	haunted houses than we could possibly cover on this podcast, though we'll certainly give it our
2:10.6	best shot. It works to our advantage that these stories tend to follow one of a few tried and true formulas.
