Join Tony as he delves into the hotel's storied past and examines the line between folklore and documented events. Is the Vulcan Hotel a genuine hotspot for paranormal activity, or do the legends simply add to its mystique? Tune in to uncover the truth behind one of New Zealand's most infamous hauntings.
