Ep. 27 The Disturbing Truth About the Pollock Twins: Reincarnartion or Coincidence?

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of child death, car accident, & grief In 1957, two sisters were killed in a tragic car accident in a small English town. A year later, their mother gave birth to twins. What happened next is either the most insane series of coincidences in history, or proof that we don’t understand death at all. This episode dives deep into one of the most documented and disturbing reincarnation cases ever recorded. We’re talking birthmarks in impossible places, kids recognizing locations they’d never been to, spontaneous memories of a fatal accident, and predictions made before birth that actually came true. I’ll walk you through the entire story - the tragedy, the bizarre rebirth, the mounting evidence, and yeah, the skeptical explanations too. Because honestly? Even the rational arguments can’t fully explain what happened to the Pollock family. Fair warning: this one starts dark and gets progressively weirder. We’re covering child death, trauma, and some genuinely unsettling details that’ll have you questioning everything you think you know about consciousness and the afterlife. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this case is absolutely wild. And spoiler alert - I’m telling you upfront that I believe something unexplainable happened here. But you can decide for yourself Grab a drink, get comfortable, and prepare to have your mind absolutely blown. This is the story of the Pollock twins.

Ep. 26 When Gold Rush Dreams Turn To Nightmares: Goldfield Hotel NV

The Goldfield Hotel stands as Nevada’s most haunted building - but the real story is far stranger than any ghost tale. Deep in the Nevada desert sits a four-story monument to greed that’s been abandoned for 80 years, yet refuses to stay quiet. The Goldfield Hotel was built during the last great gold rush of the American West, when mining magnate George Wingfield ruled an entire state and 20,000 fortune-seekers flocked to a town that shouldn’t exist. But when the gold ran out, something else moved in. From the infamous Room 109 where chains drag across floors in empty rooms, to “The Stabber” who lunges at visitors with phantom knives, to voices of children echoing from abandoned mine shafts beneath the basement - the Goldfield Hotel has earned its reputation as one of America’s most actively haunted locations. We separate the documented history from the manufactured folklore, exploring how a cattle driver turned gambler became Nevada’s most powerful man, why this opulent hotel was built on top of mining graves, and what happens when paranormal investigators capture footage that defies explanation. *Content Warning: Discussions of suicide, violence, and disturbing paranormal phenomena* ----- Resources & References Historical Sources - "Nevada Historical Society Archives" - George Wingfield papers and Goldfield documentation - **Esmeralda County Records** - Hotel construction and ownership documents - **Goldfield Historical Society** - Local history and firsthand accounts - **University of Nevada Special Collections** - Mining era newspapers and photographs Paranormal Investigation Reports - **Ghost Adventures (2008)** - Original documentation and video evidence - **Ghost Hunters Investigation Files** - Audio recordings and temperature readings - **Nevada Paranormal Research Society** - Ongoing investigation reports - **Independent researcher documentation** - Multiple EVP recordings and witness testimonies Key Publications - *“George Wingfield: Owner and Operator of Nevada”* by Elizabeth Raymond - *“Nevada Ghost Towns & Mining Camps”* by Stanley Paher - *“Goldfield: The Last Gold Rush on the Western Frontier”* by Sally Zanjani - *“Haunted Nevada”* by Janice Oberding Documentary Sources - **Travel Nevada Tourism Board** - Official historical documentation - **National Register of Historic Places** - Architectural and historical records - **Nevada State Historic Preservation Office** - Building preservation reports - **Local newspaper archives** - Tonopah Times-Bonanza, Goldfield Chronicle (1900s-1940s) Verification Notes All paranormal claims presented are based on documented witness testimonies, published investigation reports, and recorded evidence from credible paranormal research organizations.
