Selinsgrove Haunted Bar Crawl: Ghosts, Spirits & Paranormal Encounters
Episode 28: The Slice of the Paranormal team takes a spooky trip to Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, where we uncover haunted history, ghostly encounters, and eerie happenings at some of the town’s most legendary bars. 🔹 Selin’s Grove Brewery – Once the home of Pennsylvania Governor Simon Snyder, this historic brewery is said to be haunted by his ghostly apparition, spotted gazing from an upstairs window. The building also housed Tillie Pierce, famous for her Civil War memoir At Gettysburg, What a Girl Saw. If that’s not eerie enough, patrons report encounters with "George", a spirit who makes his presence known near the downstairs fireplace—with sightings, sensations, and even an unmistakable scent. 🔹 Selinsgrove Hotel – More than just a place to stay, this historic hotel has a reputation for paranormal activity. Music turns on by itself, mugs fly off shelves, and a rowing paddle has mysteriously fallen onto guests. If you’re looking for spirits beyond the bar, this is the place to be. 🔹 BJ’s Steak & Rib House – Known for its Oyster Bar and legendary food, BJ’s has a haunted past that includes a stabbing right outside. The crime connects it to Bots Tavern, which—despite lacking famous ghost stories—may still have a spirit or two lingering from its past. Want to experience these haunted bars yourself? Try the Selinsgrove Haunted Bar Crawl and see if you can catch a ghost in your glass. 🎧 Watch or listen now for spine-tingling tales, ghostly encounters, and the best bar-hopping spots in haunted Pennsylvania! #HauntedBars #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #SelinsgrovePA #HauntedHistory #GhostHunting #SliceOfTheParanormal #SpookyDrinks

Trenton Lunatic Asylum: Madness, Malpractice & the Haunting Legacy of Dr. Henry Cotton
Episode 27: In this chilling episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we uncover the shocking history and lingering hauntings of the Trenton Lunatic Asylum—the first institution built under the Kirkbride Plan, spearheaded by mental health reformer Dorothea Dix. While her mission was to create humane treatment for the mentally ill, the asylum soon fell into the horrors of overcrowding, abuse, and brutal medical experiments. One of its most infamous figures, Dr. Henry Cotton, believed madness stemmed from hidden infections—leading to gruesome procedures where patients had their teeth, organs, and even limbs removed in an effort to "cure" them. Many never survived his horrific treatments, and their restless spirits are said to haunt the asylum’s decaying halls. Some claim even Dr. Cotton’s ghost still roams the institution, tormented by the echoes of those he harmed. Is the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital still haunted by the souls of the abused? What can we learn from its dark past? Tune in as we explore the history, hauntings, and legacy of this infamous asylum. ⚠ Warning: This episode contains disturbing historical accounts of medical malpractice and may not be suitable for all listeners. #TrentonAsylum #HauntedHospitals #ParanormalPodcast #KirkbridePlan #GhostStories #MedicalHorror #TrueCrime #SliceOfTheParanormal

Sheppton Mine Disaster

Sheppton Mine Disaster
Episode 16: Today Slice of the Paranormal visits Knoebels Grove Amusement Parks…. Anthracite Heritage Museum in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. We are going to see the harness that saved the lives of two men…Henry Throne and David Fellin in 1963. The harness is interesting, but the tale these two men told of what they saw in the mine defies explanation. They saw ghost miners, doors opening to staircases, and even a recently deceased pope. Attempts to contact the third miner, Louis Bova, were unsuccessful. In 1971, The Buoys recorded a hit single "Timothy", about three miners trapped underground due to a cave-in, with only two of them surviving and a strong implication they survived by cannibalizing the third. This led many to assume the song was inspired by the Sheppton disaster, but songwriter Rupert Holmes insisted he had never heard of the incident and would not have written the song if he had. The book “Sheppton: The Myth, Miracle & Music” by Maxim Furek explored themes of the miraculous and supernatural at the Sheppton disaster site.

The most popular ghost story is the legend of Mary Hart. In 1872, Mary Hart was supposedly buried alive. Her ghost has been said to be seen near her grave at midnight, as well as sometimes catching a ride or dishing out punishments to those that disrespect her grave. In this episode we show a rather active K2 Meter session at her grave. We also travel to the Center Church Crypt in New Haven. The New Haven Crypt, which dates back to 1687, can be found underneath its fourth and present church which is located at New Haven Green. People report seeing ghosts in the crypt which contains the graves of a few notable New Haven residents. Margaret Arnold; the first wife of Benedict Arnold is buried here. Theophilus Eaton, one of the founders of New Haven and the church is also said to haunt the site. People claim they hear a voice asking if they have been saved. Sometimes they even see a face that asks this question and realize it’s Theophilus Eaton. The Green in front of the church contains the remains of 5,000 to 10,000 people, so watch where you step…. Those aren’t always animal bones protruding from the ground on the Green. Links to the sites: Evergreen Cemetery, New Haven, Connecticut Center Church

The Ax Murderer William Hummel met the end of a hangman’s noose at this site and is rumored to be haunted by him. It’s seems rather fitting since this man killed his wife and three children and then claimed her spirit visited at the site in his cell. He even dictated a “Spirit Letter” from her absolving him of the crime. We also check out the Genetti Hotel, where an old photograph contains what could be the ghost of a little girl. Could the image be of a girl whose laughter is still heard at the site and is she responsible for opening the elevator doors when no one hits the buttons.

Wendigo and the Plum Tree Massacre
Episode 8: Slice of the Paranormal loves Cryptids! In this episode we discuss the Wendigo. Which is a mythological creature or evil spirit originating from Algonquian folklore. The wendigo is often said to be a malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human-like characteristics, which possesses human beings. It is said to cause its victims a feeling of insatiable hunger, the desire to eat other humans, and the propensity to commit murder. It’s said to have a heart of ice, but can sometimes be cured through the feeding of animal fat. We also discuss the case of Swift Runner who was thought to have Wendigo Psychosis which led to him killing and eating his own family. As well as the sad case of a Native American woman forced to consume human flesh in order to preserve her and her children’s lives. The site of the horrid meal was called Enda Mohätink, which means "where human flesh was eaten." This Cryptid instills fear in the hearts of many Native Americans even today and has reached a much wider audience through TV shows and movies.

We also invite Dave Tamkus, who wrote “The Mystery of the Shamokin Head” a kids book documenting the heads journeys. Feel free to pick up a copy of this great book. While we were in Shamokin PA we stopped and enjoyed a pizza pie from James's pizza. We also invite our listeners to follow the Shamokin History Channel , and watch “the Shamokin Head: A Chet Davis Story” , and watch the interview with Mal Farrow about the head for more information.

Joseph Priestley House
Episode 3: In this episode of Slice of the Paranormal, We visit the home of the Dr Joseph Priestley in Northumberland, Pennsylvania. Dr Joseph Priestley is mostly well known for his isolation and discovery of Oxygen as well as other gases. He also discovered how to artificially create soda water. What is not well known about this educator, minister, and philosopher is his connection to several ghost stories. In life he was a rationalist and actually debunked the haunting at Epworth Rectory, the home of the Wesley family, Who were the founders of Methodist’s. He is also a key player in a ghost story at Bowood, the site where he discovered Oxygen in 1774…. 250 years ago! His home in Northumberland sports its very own ghostly tales and lore. While it’s the opinion of this podcaster that the Dr doesn’t haunt the site, There is some evidence his daughter in law might! The site is available to be toured as it is currently run as a museum, so our viewers/listeners are able to walk these dark halls themselves. Maybe you will experience phantom footsteps, mysterious lights, or doors closing on their own accord. We invite you to check out the site’s website for tour times and special events. ()

Sleepy Hollow
Episode 2: In this special Halloween episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we explain the lore of the haunted sites of Sleepy Hollow New York. We traveled the town following the path of Ichabod Crane on his famous ride. We start out exploring Sunnyside, the home of Washington Irving. We use this location to start our journey which is reputed to be haunted by Irving himself as well as a few others. Abraham Lincoln’s funeral train passed this site on the way from New York City to Buffalo New York. If you are lucky you might catch the Ghost Train passing the home in April, on the anniversary of its famous trip. We highly recommend stopping at this historic site, feel free to check their website for tour times. We drive by where Brom Bones told Ichabod about the Ghost Stories of Sleepy Hollow at the tavern. We also pass the site of Major Andres Tree, which has lore predating the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which we explore. The tree was a large ominous tulip tree where Ichabod first sees the Headless Horseman. Today it is Patriots Park, The tree was struck by lighting in the year of Benedict Arnold’s death… which is kind of ominous! We then stop at the Headless Horseman Bridge which is where the Headless Horseman throws his Flaming Pumpkin Head at Ichabod. We then go to the site of the Old Dutch Church, which is where the Headless Horseman tethers his horse nightly. An intrepid visitor can see the graves of the inspiration for Catrina Van Tassel, Brom Bones, and Ichabod Crane….. maybe even stop and see the Witches Grave! Follow the links no to find out times to visit this historic cemetery. We then traveled to Casaletto Pizzeria on Beekman Avenue in downtown Sleepy Hollow to sample and review their pizza. To finish off our journey, we stop at the Old ‘76 House, America’s Oldest Tavern to grab a brew and take in the haunts of Major John Andres, who was imprisoned here…. awaiting his execution up the hill for being a spy for Benedict Arnold. We highly recommend visiting this haunted establishment for its wonderful history, libations, and of course ghosts. Check out their website for times, and peruse their menu. It’s said that George Washington loved the beer at this site so much, he took the recipe to brew the beer at his Mount Vernon. Their website also has a Ghost Photo captured at the site…. Check it out here! To learn more about Sleepy Hollow, I invite you to check out these two great books.
