This week, we’re packing our ghost-hunting bags and heading to two of the most haunted spots in the U.S.—because what’s a vacation without a little paranormal trauma?

First, Em takes us to The Whaley House in San Diego, where ghosts have been hanging around since the 1800s. We’re talking disembodied laughter, unexplained footsteps, and the spirit of a man who was literally hanged on the property—because why build a house on good vibes when you can build it on a death site instead?

Then, Jen tells us about The Crescent Hotel in Arkansas, a former luxury resort-turned-ghost-infested horror show. This place has everything—Victorian spirits, a cat ghost, and a fraudulent doctor who ran a “cancer hospital” that was more scam than science. If you hear knocking on your door at night, don’t answer. It’s never room service.
