Date Night with the Dead started with something we already loved doing together—turning our date nights into paranormal mysteries. What began with watching ghost-hunting shows and planning our own investigations has grown into a podcast where we share our experiences, explore haunted places, dive into creepy cases, and talk about everything paranormal.
Join us for a Halloween themed episode! This week we discuss the origins of Halloween, Trick Or Treating, and the Jack-O-Lantern. We also chit chat about our favorite Halloween costumes, movies, and candy.
Thanks for listening and as always please reach out to us to share your spooky stories at datenightwiththedeadpod@gmail.com (mailto:datenightwiththedeadpod@gmail.com).

Join us for episode 3 where we discuss our favorite haunted mansion, known as the House on the Hill. The Beattie Mansion was built in 1854 for Armstrong and Eliza Beattie. After their passing the mansion lived many lives as a "Home for the Friendless", "The Memorial Home for the Aged", and later a home for the mentally ill and substance abuse addicts. We discuss the complicated history of the mansion, the subsequent hauntings, as well as our own experiences.

Ep. 2 - Our Haunted House
In this episode of Date Night with the Dead, we’re telling the story of our very first haunted house. We take you back to when we first moved into the house and walk through the strange, unexplained experiences that happened along the way.
From things that made us question what was really happening to experiences that were difficult to explain away, we’re sharing what happened, what we think may have been going on, and how this house changed the way we looked at the paranormal.
This was one of the experiences that really set us on the path we’re still following today—and we’re finally telling the whole story.
Have you ever lived in a house you thought was haunted? We want to hear about it! Send us your paranormal stories and experiences by email, and we may share them on a future episode.
