56: Ep. 56 The Bridge That Swallowed 844 Souls

In 1915, a ship everyone knew was dangerous capsized in the Chicago River — killing 844 people on their way to a company picnic. More deaths than the Titanic’s passenger list. 22 entire families, gone.  No one was ever held accountable.  And to this day, people standing on Chicago’s Clark Street Bridge report seeing faces in the water below. This is the SS Eastland disaster. And it’s been buried long enough.

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
