Haunted Scams and Frauds

There’s a particular chill that comes from standing in an empty place where life once pulsed, a feeling Shannon and Gina chase down across the country. 50 States of Madness is their audio travelogue from the road, a deeply researched yet personal dive into the forgotten and the eerie in every corner of America. Each episode is anchored by a location they’ve actually walked through, whether it’s the sun-bleached boards of a ghost town, the silent halls of an abandoned asylum, or the site of a historical true crime that still whispers to the present. This isn’t just a recitation of spooky tales; it’s a conversation about the layers of history, culture, and human nature that create these haunting legacies. You’ll hear the crunch of gravel under their boots, the wind through broken windows, and the genuine curiosity in their discussions as they piece together why these stories endure. The podcast naturally blends travelogue with historical deep-dive, making it as much about understanding a place’s soul as it is about the shiver down your spine. For a fuller picture of their journeys, their companion YouTube channel offers the visuals from these expeditions, but the audio experience is designed to transport you right into the passenger seat for every strange mile.
