from The Shadow Frequency · host Matt Wilson

Step inside the Octagon House 🏛 in Washington, D.C., where history and heartbreak collide.

From muffled sobs and terrified screams 😱 to phantom footsteps and slamming doors 🚪, the hauntings reach their peak every February. Host Matt Wilson 🎙 and producer Juniper Ravenwood take you through this eerie tale, plus a heartfelt listener letter from Barbara in Texas 📬. 🔗 More episodes & merch: shadowfrequencypodcast.com
