Of Poets and the Paranormal

Send us Fan MailHappy spooky season! Krysti has been itching to tell everyone her story this episode! An Indiana legend, James Whitcomb Riley is the subject of conversation. A poet that wrote such poems as Little Orphant Annie and The Raggedy Man. This man’s poetry was a staple of Indiana children’s studies and known to adults as well. His life was very interesting and so was his career. Continuing on with the spooky vibe, Tori covers the most haunted house in Australia, the Monte Cristo Homestead. The sheer amount of ghosts in this house makes it a prime topic for horror movies. Many of the ghost hunting shows have covered this location and it a notorious hot spot for paranormal of activity.
