Creepy Shit

53: Ep.53 Part 2 -The Experience at Shakers

You heard the history and the happenings, Now hear what happened to my husband and I while we were at Shaker's Cigar Bar. In part 2 of our Shaker's Cigar Bar Bar, Podcast Birthday Celebration. Im taking you back inside, walking you through what I personally felt (& what my husband felt) from the moment I entered the building, what I captured on camera that I wasn't expecting and the moments that were hard to shake long after we left.  Some of it is subtle, some of it is not. This is where it gets personal. No history lesson, no interview, just me telling you exactly what it feels like to spend time inside a place that is genuinely, documentably haunted.

52: Ep. 52 On Location at Shaker Cigar Bar, Podcast Birthday Special

One year ago, Creepy Shit was just an idea. Today, we're on Location! To mark one full year of this podcast. Im sitting inside one of America's Most Haunted bars - Shaker's Cigar Bar in Milwaukee, WI - with a man who has owned and breathed this building since the 1980's, Bob Weiss And this place has layers, boo We're talking a building built on top of a cemetery. A prohibition-era speakeasy and brothel run by the Capone brothers. A sixteen year old girl named Molly Brennan who never made it out of the third floor. Human Bones found inside the wallsduring a 2001 renovation. Documented paranormal residents and a barstool that Jefferey Dahmer used to call his.  Bob has spent nearly 40 years inside this building. In this episode, he walks us through all of it - the documented history, the unexplainable reports, and the personal experiences he's had.  This is the episode I've been working toward since day one. I hope it hits you the way it hit me. Time to press play

51: Ep. 51 Old House Woods - Summer Series Kickoff ft. Macabre Monday

There is a 50-acre patch of woods in Mathews County, Virginia that has been terrifying people for over 300 years — and the paper trail to prove it goes all the way to a federally funded government archive at the University of Virginia.  Old House Woods is one of those locations that makes you question everything, because the witnesses aren’t anonymous internet strangers. They’re named. They’re dated. They gave their accounts to newspapers. And the history underneath those accounts — pirates, Revolutionary War gold, a royal governor who went rogue, Blackbeard operating miles away, a plantation built on a burial ground that caught fire and put itself out — is all on the record.  This week, I'm joined by Ale and Tom from Macabre Monday to dig into one of the most layered, most documented, and somehow most overlooked haunted locations in America. Phantom ships. Skeleton soldiers in armor. Treasure that was never recovered. And a storm ghost who rises above the trees to scream warnings at fishermen. Welcome to Old House Woods. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. PS. This is just the beginning - This is the official kickoff to our Summer Series of Woods, Roads, Lakes and Lighthouses & More. Are you ready? Press Play

50: Ep. 50 H.H. Holmes: Murder Castle, The Haunting & The Man Who Couldn't Sleep

Everyone thinks they know the story of H.H. Holmes — America’s first serial killer, the Murder Castle, two hundred victims, trap doors and gas chambers. But what if most of that was invented? In this episode of Creepy Shit, we go full deep dive on H.H. Holmes - pulling from historical records, newspaper archives, and court documents to separate verified fact from the yellow journalism myths that have dominated this story for over a century. Because here’s the thing: the documented truth is scarier than the legend. We cover it all! This is not your average H.H. Holmes episode. No exaggeration. No inflation. Just the records — and the haunting that followed.

49: Ep. 49 The Immediate Haunting of American Airlines Flt. 191

We’re diving deep into America’s deadliest aviation disaster and the absolutely wild paranormal activity that started within HOURS of the crash. I’m talking about American Airlines Flight 191, the DC-10 that fell from the sky at Chicago O’Hare on May 25, 1979, killing 273 people in thirty-one seconds of pure hell. But here’s where it gets really messed up: the passengers never left. We’ve got phantom knocking on doors, ghostly figures reeking of aviation fuel asking for help, mysterious radar blips of planes that don’t exist, and a warning voice that’s been helping air traffic controllers prevent disasters for decades. Airport employees are seeing passengers in outdated clothes trying to catch flights that will never take off, and residents near the crash site are dealing with security systems going haywire because spirits keep opening doors that aren’t there. This isn’t your typical ghost story - this is 270+ souls who were interrupted mid-journey and are still trying to get home. From the maintenance fuck-up that caused the disaster to the ongoing hauntings that’ll make you think twice about flying through O’Hare, we’re covering it all. Trust me, don't listen to this if you are about to step onto a plane.  References & Resources Primary Sources: - National Transportation Safety Board Final Report: American Airlines Flight 191 (December 21, 1979) - Chicago Tribune archives and victim profiles (1979-2024) - American Hauntings Investigation records - Aviation Safety Network crash database Paranormal Documentation: - Haunted Places directory: American Flight 191 Crash Site - Aviation employee forum testimonials (anonymous sources) - Mobile home park resident accounts (1979-2010s) - Air traffic controller unofficial reports Historical Context: - McDonnell Douglas DC-10 maintenance records and procedures - Federal Aviation Administration investigation files - O’Hare International Airport expansion documentation Additional Reading: - “Ghosts of Flight 191” - American Hauntings archives - Aviation maintenance safety protocols post-1979 - Electromagnetic field studies of crash sites - Trauma psychology and collective memory research *Note: Many paranormal accounts come from unofficial sources due to airline industry policies regarding supernatural reports.
