    EP 121 - The Haunting of Room 32 ft. Jim Harold | Jerome, AZ

    The United Verde Hospital was constructed in 1926 and tended to the sick and wounded workers who mined for copper during the early 20th century. The hospital saw an estimated 9000 deaths, before it closed its doors and lay abandoned for decades. Eventually the building would be turned into the Jerome Grand Hotel, but almost immediately, staff and guests started reporting strange and haunting experiences in their rooms and all over the hotel. From shadow figures, to poltergeist activity and ghostly cats, to something more dangerous and malevolent... the Jerome Grand Hotel has no shortage of terrifying stories.

    Dark Mysteries - Mel's Hole

    Dark Mysteries - Mel's Hole

    Rob introduces Jesse and Dave to the wild mystery of Mel's Hole. Mel's Hole is, according to an urban legend, a "bottomless pit" near Ellensburg, Washington. Claims about it were first made on the radio show Coast to Coast AM in 1997 by a guest calling himself Mel Waters. Later investigation revealed no such person was listed as residing in that area, and no credible evidence has been given that the hole ever existed.

My fave podcast of all! These dudes are genuine, entertaining, funny & sweet.
Their chemistry is great, content interesting & yes-scary,spooky & creeps me out!!
These guys would be terrific to hang out with, have some refreshments & just listen to them tell stories. Which is why it’s great they have a podcast so we can all do that whenever we want!!
Like author Tom Robbins once said about a cigarette, these guys are “a friend when no one else is around.”
Adore y’all, and ‘long may you run’ (lyric borrowed from a classic rock song).✌🏻

Rob is the best!! You’re all jealous

This is definitely not Rob I’m totally serious. My husband showed me the podcast sometime last year. He’d play it in the car and your voices would instantly knock me out( in a good way). We started watching the live YouTube during our crotch goblin’s cheer practice every Tuesday. I love the show, the stories, and the side content. But most importantly I love Daddy Rob (don’t tell thicc boi Freddy though). This is the best podcast with an Amazing fanbase. I look forward to every Tuesday’s show. Dave sucks… Jesse has little girl shoulders. Long Live Daddy Rob!!!

Top tier content *chef’s kiss*

Just started listening to the podcast. I have been searching awhile for a spooky podcast to dive deeper into the paranormal and all things spooky. This show has multiple elements that make it one of a kind. I love the intros where you listen to the lore and story of the topic for the show. Then my favorite part is the commentary from the guys. So real and raw and not like influencers that are self absorbed and over the top for views and likes. Refreshing and always greatly edited and produced.
