In today’s episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, Jennifer and Joe explore the chilling and tragic case of Mamie Thurman, one of West Virginia’s most enduring ghostly legends. Her story is one of mystery, scandal, and restless energy that continues to fascinate and frighten both locals and paranormal investigators alike.

 

The tale begins in Logan, West Virginia, during the 1930s, when Mamie Thurman, a young and beautiful housewife, became the subject of whispers and rumors around town. Known for her charm and charisma, Mamie was said to have caught the attention of influential men in the community. Despite her outward appearance as a devoted wife, she was rumored to be leading a double life—entangled in secret relationships that would ultimately lead to her untimely death.

 

On June 21, 1932, Mamie’s life came to a violent end. Her body was discovered on a desolate mountain road in Logan County, brutally murdered. Her throat had been slashed, and she bore multiple stab wounds. The crime scene shocked the small coal town, and speculation ran wild about who could have committed such a gruesome act. Suspicion quickly turned toward a local handyman, but many believed that powerful men in the community may have been involved, and the case was never fully resolved.

 

This violent death seemed to leave a permanent imprint on the area. Over the decades, countless reports of paranormal activity have surfaced, centered on the very road where Mamie’s body was found—now known as “22 Mountain.” Locals and travelers alike have described seeing a spectral woman in a blue dress, believed to be Mamie’s restless spirit, wandering the mountain at night. Her apparition is said to suddenly appear in front of cars, causing drivers to slam on their brakes in fear, only to have her vanish into the darkness.

 

Jennifer and Joe dive deep into this case, peeling back the layers of history, rumor, and ghostly lore. They discuss how Mamie’s story intertwines with themes of injustice, betrayal, and cover-up, and how her tragic fate resonates with so many who feel she was denied justice in life. The episode also highlights personal accounts from those who claim to have seen her ghost and considers why some spirits remain earthbound, replaying their pain or searching for closure.

 

Was Mamie Thurman simply a victim of circumstance and small-town gossip, or was her murder part of a larger conspiracy meant to silence her? And is her ghost a reminder of unfinished business, or a symbol of the trauma that lingers long after a violent death?

 

Join Jennifer and Joe as they unpack the haunting legacy of Mamie Thurman, bringing both historical context and paranormal insight to this unforgettable case. Whether you’re drawn to true crime, ghost stories, or the mysteries of Appalachian folklore, this episode will leave you captivated by the spirit of Mamie Thurman and the shadows she still casts on Logan County to this day.

New Orleans is a city steeped in history, mystery, and restless spirits. Few places in America carry the weight of legend and ghostly lore like the French Quarter, where every cobblestone street seems to hold a story. In this episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, we take you inside one of the most infamous haunted locations in the world—the LaLaurie Mansion—and explore other ghostly sites that have made New Orleans a mecca for paranormal enthusiasts.

 

At 1140 Royal Street stands the LaLaurie Mansion, once the elegant home of Madame Delphine LaLaurie. Behind its beautiful façade lurked a chilling darkness. When a fire broke out in 1834, neighbors and authorities uncovered a horrific secret in the attic—enslaved people held in chains, tortured and starved. The revelations shocked the city, and Delphine fled, never to face justice. The mansion was ransacked, yet its ghostly legacy lives on. To this day, passersby report hearing phantom screams, footsteps echoing through empty halls, and ghostly apparitions watching from the windows. Many believe it to be the most haunted house in America.

 

But the LaLaurie Mansion is just the beginning. New Orleans is a city where the line between the living and the dead seems thin, and stories of hauntings can be found on nearly every block. Take St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, for example—the final resting place of the famed Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. Visitors often leave offerings at her tomb, hoping for her favor, and many report seeing her spirit walking among the graves, still guarding her sacred ground.

 

Another hotspot of paranormal activity is the Hotel Monteleone, a luxurious landmark in the French Quarter. Known as one of the most haunted hotels in America, guests and staff have reported the spirits of children playing in the halls, mysterious shadows, and elevators that move on their own. Writers and celebrities have long stayed at the Monteleone, but some never truly checked out.

 

We also share stories of the Old Ursuline Convent, one of the oldest buildings in the city, rumored to be linked to vampire legends. Local lore tells of mysterious casket-shaped crates arriving from Europe in the 1700s, followed by reports of pale figures roaming the streets at night. Whether fact or fiction, these stories remain a chilling part of New Orleans’ haunted history.

 

From ghostly nuns to pirate spirits, from Jackson Square to hidden courtyards, New Orleans offers no shortage of paranormal tales. It’s a city where history, tragedy, and legend intertwine, leaving behind echoes that seem determined to linger.

 

Join us as we journey through the shadows of the Crescent City, uncovering the stories of its most haunted locations. The spirits of New Orleans are waiting, and tonight, we step into their world.

In this hauntingly atmospheric episode, we take you deep into the heart of Loretto, Pennsylvania, as we explore one of the most intriguing—and eerily enigmatic—haunted sites in the region: The Doss House. Joined by paranormal investigator Shanna, we uncover layers of history, mystery, and ghostly lore surrounding a house built in 1810 that continues to chill visitors to this day.

 

Historical Foundations

The Doss House stands as the first home constructed in Loretto on land once belonging to Native American tribes such as the Shawnee, Lenape (Delaware), Asswikales, and Mingoes. Erected in 1810, it’s a tangible relic of early American settlement in the area.

 

Who Were Its Inhabitants?

This old house once served dual roles in daily town life—the residence of Loretto’s only dentist and later its only barber. According to local lore, both figures may never have left. Visitors frequently report feeling their presence linger in the halls, lending the house its reputation as a nexus of strange encounters.

 

Paranormal Encounters & Chilling Tales

Shanna walks us through some spine-tingling reports:

A little girl in a green dress has been seen drifting through the halls—an apparition that has become one of the house’s most repeated sightings.

 

Basement phenomena include shadowy figures and a low, guttural audible growl, creating a sense of dread that many describe as unlike anything they’ve experienced elsewhere.

Upstairs, the staircase is not just historic—it's haunted. One visitor reported being pushed down the stairs by what seemed to be a spirit that reenacts past actions.

 

A Legacy of Hope Amid the Haunting

Shanna’s connection to the Doss House runs deeper than spectral sightings. She, along with her wife Danielle, acquired the house in memory of her beloved mother, Holley Cataldo. Their goal? To transform it into a symbol of hope and resilient spirit, weaving Holley's legacy into the fabric of paranormal exploration.

 

Events, Tours & The Creep It Real Festival

The Doss House offers more than ghost stories. It hosts themed events, guided paranormal investigations, and even daytime tours—an immersive experience for history buffs and ghost hunters alike. Notably, Shanna and Danielle organized the wildly successful 2025 Creep It Real Festival, held at the Summer Solstice. Featuring celebrity guests, field researchers, authors, and psychic mediums, it celebrated both the macabre and the meaningful.

 

How to Visit & Contact Info

Located at 278 St. Mary Street, Loretto, PA, The Doss House welcomes paranormal enthusiasts seeking both thrill and storytelling

This week on the 222 Paranormal Podcast, we venture deep into the heart of Louisiana’s mysterious wetlands, where ancient folklore, shadowy waters, and eerie legends come to life. Hidden within the dense cypress trees, shrouded in thick fog, lies a creature that has haunted Cajun stories for generations—the fearsome Rougarou.

 

Part man, part wolf, and entirely terrifying, the Rougarou is said to roam the bayous under the light of the moon, cursed to hunt endlessly through the tangled marshes. With roots in French and Cajun tradition, this shapeshifting beast has been passed down through centuries of storytelling. But is it merely a cautionary tale meant to keep children from wandering too far into the swamp—or could there be something real lurking in those dark waters?

 

We’ll explore the origins of the Rougarou legend, tracing its lineage back to the French loupgarou myth and its transformation into the Louisiana version known today. Youll hear how local superstition, Catholic influence, and the unique culture of the Cajun people shaped this chilling narrative. From whispered warnings in French Creole to modern-day eyewitness accounts, the Rougarou continues to hold a grip on the imagination of those who call the swamp home.

 

But the Rougarou is only part of the story. Louisiana’s swamps are a realm unto themselves—alive with mystery and danger. Towering moss-draped trees, hidden sinkholes, and unseen creatures beneath the water create an atmosphere where fact and folklore intertwine. Hunters, fishermen, and swamp guides have long reported strange sounds echoing through the night: splashes with no visible source, low growls, glowing eyes peering from the brush. Could these be signs of the Rougarou—or something even more unknown?

 

In this episode, we take you into the marshes through vivid storytelling and chilling accounts from locals who swear they’ve seen something out there. We’ll examine possible real-world explanations for the Rougarou legend, from mistaken identities to regional wildlife, as well as the theory that the swamps themselves are a natural breeding ground for supernatural lore.

 

We’ll also touch on how the Rougarou legend has woven itself into Louisiana’s culture today—appearing in festivals, parades, and local art, while still carrying that unsettling sense of danger. For many, the Rougarou isn’t just a Halloween tale—it’s a reminder that there are still wild, untamed forces just beyond the edge of civilization.

 

So, grab your lantern, step carefully into the pirogue, and join us as we paddle into the misty backwaters in search of truth, myth, and maybe even a glimpse of the Rougarou itself. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just someone who loves a good swamp ghost story, this is one journey you won’t want to miss.

 

Listen now to discover why the Rougarou remains one of America’s most enduring—and most chilling—cryptid legends, and why Louisiana’s swamps are the perfect place for such a creature to hide.

In this spinetingling episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, we take a deep dive into the haunted side of the music industry. Life on the road for musicians may sound glamoroussoldout shows, luxurious hotels, and the rush of touringbut behind the music, there are chilling stories that rock legends rarely talk about. From restless spirits lurking in the shadows of tour buses to spectral visitors in hotel rooms, and even unexplainable phenomena inside recording studios, the paranormal has long played a mysterious role in the lives of traveling musicians.

 

We start with the eerie world of tour buses. For many bands, their bus becomes a second home, but these mobile sanctuaries have also been the setting for strange and unsettling encounters. Some musicians have reported waking in the night to see shadowy figures standing silently in the aisle. Others have spoken of cold spots, phantom footsteps, or the unexplained sound of knocking from the storage bays. Is it the lingering energy of past tragedies, or are spirits somehow drawn to the intense, emotional atmosphere of life on tour?

 

Next, we check into the haunted hotels that touring acts frequent. Many historic hotels across the country are steeped in ghostly lore, and traveling bands often find themselves as reluctant overnight guests in these paranormal hot spots. From strange voices over the phone when the line is dead, to TV’s turning on in the middle of the night, and even musicians waking to find a ghostly figure at the foot of their bed—some of these tales will make you think twice before staying in a famous rocknroll hotel. We’ll share chilling accounts from legendary venues like The Hollywood Roosevelt, The Chelsea Hotel, and others that have left more than one touring artist shaken.

 

Finally, we step inside the recording studios—sacred creative spaces where some of the most iconic albums have been born. But these studios have their own haunted histories. Engineers and musicians have described equipment malfunctioning at key moments, strange whispers bleeding into recordings, and feelings of being watched while alone in the control room. Some claim these spirits are former musicians still attached to the place they loved most; others think the heightened creative energy somehow invites supernatural activity.

 

Throughout this episode, we’ll share documented cases, firsthand stories, and a few hairraising legends from the road. Well also explore possible explanationscould these experiences be tied to the intense emotions, long hours, and sometimes tragic events that surround the rocknroll lifestyle? Or are these truly encounters with the other side, reminding us that music, like the spirit, lives on forever?

 

Whether you’re a paranormal enthusiast, a music lover, or both, this episode will give you a whole new perspective on the life of a touring musician. So grab your backstage pass, settle in, and join us as we turn up the volume on the haunted world of rocknroll travel.

 

Listen now—and remember, on the road, you never know who might be traveling with you… unseen.
