We’ve met Robert — the sailor-suited doll who punishes those who photograph him without permission. We’ve stared into Peggy’s blank eyes and felt the nausea creep in just from looking at her photo. But this week, we’re not stepping into a haunted museum. We’re logging on.
In this episode, we revisit one of the internet’s most infamous haunted objects: Harold the Doll — allegedly the first haunted doll ever sold on eBay. From the eerie origins of his online listing to the disturbing EVPs captured by paranormal investigator Anthony Quinata, Harold’s story has only grown darker with every retelling.
But is he really haunted… or just hyped by internet folklore? We break down the claims, the holes in the case, and the lingering question: What happens when haunted objects aren’t locked away — but delivered to your doorstep?

S2E3: Revisiting Robert the Doll

Just be sure to think twice before visiting… or, in our case, revisiting Robert the Doll.

This week, we’re returning to one of the most infamous haunted artifacts in the world: Robert the Doll. In this chilling revisit, we explore the superstition surrounding Robert’s number-one rule — never photograph him without permission — and what happens when that rule is broken. From camera malfunctions to years of misfortune, we’ll dive into the stories of those who believe they’ve felt Robert’s wrath firsthand. And for the first time on the pod, we’ll be reading from the real letters of apology sent to Robert by those hoping to reverse their cursed luck. Whether it’s coincidence, confirmation bias, or something much darker… one thing’s for sure: you’ll want to think twice before snapping a photo.

S2E2: Peggy the Doll

In the premiere of Haunts Season 1, we’re diving headfirst into the unsettling world of haunted dolls—starting with one of the most infamous artifacts in the paranormal world: Peggy the Doll. Said to cause nausea, nightmares, and even heart attacks just by being seen, Peggy is no ordinary antique.
We’ll explore her strange origins, the wave of physical symptoms reported by those who’ve encountered her online, and the psychology behind how belief—and fear—can manifest real effects. Plus, I’ll share my personal visit to Peggy at Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum, and what happened (or didn’t) when I finally looked her in the eyes.
 

S2E1: Annabelle on Tour

One thing’s for sure: we all can’t seem to stop talking about Annabelle on Tour.

After a brief hiatus, I’m back—and apparently, so is Annabelle. In this episode, we dive into the strange series of events that have unfolded while the infamous haunted doll makes her way across the U.S. on a publicity tour. From her eerie origin story and the Warren legacy to recent viral footage of shadowy figures in a burning Louisiana mansion and rumors of her mysterious disappearance, we break down what’s real, what’s hype, and what might just be coincidence. Is this all just a clever marketing stunt? A string of unrelated incidents? Or is something darker at play?

When two young brothers vanish without a trace in the remote Allegheny Mountains, a routine morning on a Pennsylvania homestead spirals into every parent's worst nightmare. As the desperate search draws in nearly a thousand neighbors and gives rise to wild accusations—from gypsy kidnappings to murder—hope seems lost in the vast wilderness. That is, until a man from a nearby town begins having strange, vivid dreams of places he's never seen—dreams that just might lead to the truth.
In this haunting episode of Haunts, Courtney unravels the chilling true story of George and Joseph Cox, blending Appalachian folklore, rugged frontier history, and one man’s eerie connection to the beyond. Were Jacob Dibert’s visions a divine miracle, or did something darker call him into the woods?

After a storm topples the legendary Dark Hedges of Northern Ireland—an iconic Game of Thrones filming location—something unexpected rises from the wreckage: a trail of intricately carved doors that link fantasy to folklore, and tourism to tragedy. Join Courtney as she follows the “Journey of Doors,” a fan pilgrimage through Ireland’s scenic countryside that culminates at Ballygally Castle, where one door may open to more than just Westerosi nostalgia. Within these haunted halls lies the chilling tale of Isabella Shaw, a 17th-century noblewoman whose death may just give the work of George R.R. Martin a run for its month. Was it an accident, or murder cloaked in legacy and silence? In this episode, fantasy and reality intertwine in a ghost story that might just make you believe some doors were never meant to be opened.

We’ve all felt it—that eerie sensation of being watched when no one’s there. But what if that feeling is more than just paranoia? In this chilling episode of Haunts, Courtney dives into the strange psychology behind why our minds play tricks on us in the dark... and how that very phenomenon may be tied to one of Puerto Rico’s oldest and most unsettling legends.
Perched on the edge of San Juan’s historic Fort San Cristobal lies La Garita del Diablo—the Devil’s Sentry Box—a lonely guard post with a dark reputation. Over centuries, soldiers stationed there have vanished without a trace, fueling tales of curses, spectral guitars, and devilish pacts. Was it mere isolation and fear? Or did something truly sinister drag those watchmen into the sea?

In this haunting episode, we dive into the eerie true story of one of history’s most infamous ghost hoaxes—Scratching Fanny, the spirit said to haunt London’s Cock Lane. What began as a tale of unexplained knocks and ghostly thuds soon spiraled into a full-blown paranormal frenzy, involving seances, possession claims, and even royal scrutiny. At the center of it all? An 11-year-old girl, a vengeful landlord, and a woman who may—or may not—have returned from the dead.
Was Fanny Lynes truly trying to speak from beyond the grave… or was it all part of a carefully crafted con fueled by greed and spite? Tune in as we unravel the dark motivations behind this 18th-century ghost story and explore how a string of knocks set the stage for one of the earliest paranormal scandals.

What happens when the spirits of Savannah’s most haunted brew pub makes their last call? In this chilling episode of Haunts, host Courtney explores the eerie after-hours of Moon River Brewing Company—a beloved Savannah staple turned paranormal hotspot, now permanently closed. From ghostly children roaming the top floors to violent encounters with the vengeful spirit of James Stark, Courtney unpacks the grim and layered history of the building that now stands abandoned at the heart of Bay Street.
With stories of spectral mist, historic tragedy, and a murder that went unpunished, this episode serves as both a eulogy for a legendary location and a reminder: while the doors may be shut for good, the spirits within may never clock out.

The Haunting Case Of Sandra Johnsen-Hughes

Trying to track down a person who is otherwise untraceable is sort of like, well, hunting for a ghost.

When experienced survivalist Sandra Hughes set off into the Sierra National Forest in the summer of 2020, she was simply seeking solitude and healing in the wilderness—a return to peace in a chaotic world. But what began as a solo trek quickly spiraled into one of the most chilling and inexplicable missing persons cases in recent memory.
In this episode of Haunts, Courtney explores the mysterious disappearance of Sandra Hughes—a woman well-equipped for the backcountry who nonetheless seemed to vanish into thin air. From the discovery of her wrecked campsite and scattered documents, to a bizarre car crash and a series of eerie sightings where she appeared dazed, barefoot, and silent, Sandra’s story unfolds like a ghost story wrapped in a survival tale.
And just when the trail runs cold, nature itself intervenes. A wildfire consumes the forest—and with it, any lingering hope for answers. Yet one year later, a new sighting near Shuteye Peak sends a shiver down the spine and reignites the question: what really happened to Sandra Hughes?
This isn’t just a case of someone lost in the woods. It’s a haunting mystery where each detail is more unsettling than the last, and where the line between disappearance and the paranormal becomes increasingly blurred.
