Ep. 24 - The Old Lavaca County Jail

It opened in 1885 and for 120 years the walls inside this jail witnessed killings, suicides and historic floods.  Now having stood for nearly 140 years, it is now a location known for vibrant paranormal activity.  From disembodied voices to clanking cell doors to shadow figures, this tiny location packs a prodigious punch on the paranormal scale and definitely ranks as one of the most haunted locations in the state of Texas. This episode was recorded live on location on Halloween night, our first ever Halloween investigation.  We live streamed the first hour of the investigation and, another first for us, we investigated while wearing our Halloween costumes. The majority of this recording was done inside the jail cell where a man hung himself in 1990.  The building that this cell was in has no electricity.  The sounds you will hear of the jail cell door opening and closing were done manually by turning a wheel.  We received interaction through a K2 meter and some of what was captured on audio are found at these timecodes: 17:44 - The strong smell of coffee permeated in the main hall of the building 23:22 - Ernest asks, "Can you knock for us like this?" followed by 3 knocks 23:36 - 3 knocks fading response 29:45 - Banging on the bars 30:33 - Bang on bars 31:07 - Don asks, "Would you like the jail door open?" 31:10 - Response, "Yes." 42:44 - Unknown sound 44:31 - Unknown sound 45:54 - Unknown sound 52:55 - Single faint knock 53:32 - Ernest asks, "Can you knock for us, like this?" followed by 3 knocks 53:43 - 2 knocks response 55:50 - Quiet bang 58:10 - Don asks, "Did your parents make you feel as though it was your fault?" 58:14 - Light bang response 58:31 - Light bang RESOURCES: https://texashistory.unt.edu/ [https://texashistory.unt.edu/] https://www.findagrave.com/ [https://www.findagrave.com/] Opening and closing music courtesy of Rok Nardin

Ep. 21 - The Magnolia Hotel

A structure in Seguin, TX that is nearly as old as the state itself nearly became lost to history but thanks to its current owners, The Magnolia Hotel is being restored.  From its beginnings as a two-room log cabin to its pre-restoration reputation as being a den for vagrants and drug abusers, the building has been a stagecoach stop, brothel, rental units, witnessed deaths and has even played a small part in the tragedy of a 12-year-old New Braunfels girl’s death in 1874.
