• 0:05
  Speaker 1: 106.7 Light FM. Cubby, Christine. Kristen producing. Kristen just gave
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: me an article here. It says if you're looking for
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: a spooky Halloween road trip, forget Salem. Forget New Orleans.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: What?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You've been there multiple times. You swear that they are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the spookiest towns, and I think they still are.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: For like a good reason, yeah.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But a new study says the spookiest city in America
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: is actually Virginia City, Nevada. The former Wild West mining
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: town topped the list thanks to its huge number of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: haunted attractions, ghostly legends, spiritual shops, and paranormal activity. Coming
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: in right behind that is Tombstone, Arizona. They make pizza.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: They do, really?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I'm kidding. Oh, Tombstone. Sorry.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe it does come from there. Come on, I'm sorry. No,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you're fine. Famous for its Old West history and Eureka Springs, Arkansas,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: another hot spot for ghost tours and haunted mansions. Meanwhile,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: traditional Halloween favorites like Salem and New Orleans and Savannah, Georgia,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: they didn't even crack the top three. You're kidding. The
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: study also found that interest in paranormal travel is booming
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: with searches for haunted hotels skyrocketing in recent years. Wow.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I kind of think I would do a hotel that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: was haunted.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Um, okay.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: That's about it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: You would do a hotel?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I would do a hotel because you can get out
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of there if you need to.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: What about a haunted house?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I like haunted houses.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: You like it? No, but I'm saying... Like a real
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: house that is technically haunted?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I think they're the ones that pop up on Halloween.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: There's a survey from Clever Real Estate and they said
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: over half of Americans would buy a haunted house. They're like, yeah,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: it's okay. I don't mind.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: That's a great question for our big audience here. Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: There has to be somebody out there that has purchased
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a home knowing it's maybe haunted or something bad has happened.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And you still bought it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, give us a text. What about you? No. You
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do it?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: No.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: What if it's a really nice house?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: They said that- At a really good price.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: When they up the ante, right? When they say, what
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: about if we drop the price? Then even more people, 62%
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of people are on board. And then if you lower
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the property taxes, bing, bing, bing, even more people are in.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So maybe you're kind of swaying me at that point.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Because it does.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It takes a lot to own a house. But no,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think I would intentionally buy a haunted house.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You're like a hard no, right? But then you think
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: about money. If the money drops, you're a hard yes.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what if you get in there and then
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you're just going to have to move anyway because the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: ghosts don't like you?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: No. Well, you know what I always think about? I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: think about the Amityville Horror House a lot. The one
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: on Long Island. Not haunted, but we know what happened
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: there back in the 70s. The movie scared the heck
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: out of me. And I've driven by that house. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it's a beautiful home.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm still blown away that people live there. And
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I wonder what their mind state is. Yeah. They bought
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: knowing what happened. And I think multiple people have lived
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in there since 1974. And have said it's okay. And
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: said it's okay.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: But that house always gets me. Maybe because it's local, too.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's not far from here.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And we know about it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If you were going around with a realtor and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: they said, oh, somebody died here. This house is said
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to be haunted. Would you still buy the house?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Give us a text at 44363. Last thing, remember that
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: house that was getting weird notes a couple years ago?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, that was New Jersey, too.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That was New Jersey, wasn't it?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: There was like a, was it Netflix? Somebody did a
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: series on it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every time, Kristen, do you remember the story? She's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: looking it up right now. Yeah, they receive letters. Every
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: time new people moved in, they get letters from anonymous people.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like warning, get out of that house.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Get out of the house.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: And it was enough to creep people out that they left.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Where is it? Westfield. Westfield. Westfield. That's right.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, and Westfield's supposed to be really cool for trick-or-treating. Like,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the whole town's supposed to be haunted. The Addams Family house,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: like the person who wrote it, that house is located
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in Westfield.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, the outside shots?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: The person, the Addams Family, the person who wrote it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: That's the house, so I guess it's based, yeah, on it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Look, I.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: We're asking a lot of me when it's not even
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: 7 in the morning.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Someone's up right now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to give you cute little tidbits.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Go Google. I love the fun facts. Do you know
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that a pumpkin is a berry, technically? Wait, what? Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That sounds familiar.
• 4:24
