What if I told you that over the next four years, we're going to travel across every corner of America?

Not to visit the places on postcards, but to uncover the places people are afraid to talk about. This August, everything changes. Welcome to Haunted America, 50 States of Fear.

A journey unlike anything we've ever done before. For the next 50 months, we'll travel through every state in the order that it joined the Union, beginning where America began, Delaware, and ending thousands of miles away with the islands of Hawaii. 50 States, 50 months, hundreds of haunted locations, countless ghost stories, legends, cemeteries, battlefields, abandoned hospitals, phantom hitchhikers, cryptids hiding deep within American forests, and mysteries that still have no explanation. Every month, a new state. Every week, another chapter in its darkest history. We're not just telling ghost stories. We're exploring the legends that shaped entire communities. We'll visit places where people claim the dead still walk the halls. We'll investigate creatures that witnesses swear they've encountered. We'll dive into folklore passed down through generations, and separate documented history from terrifying legend. Some stories you probably heard. Many you've never before. And some you may wish you never had. Imagine standing in the middle of an abandoned asylum where patients claimed unseen hands reached out from the darkness, walking through forgotten battlefields, where soldiers are still reportedly heard, marching long after the war has ended.

Every state has its secrets.

Every state has its monsters. Every state has a history that refuses to stay buried, and we're going to uncover them, one state at a time.

This isn't just another podcast series. It's an expedition across the haunted history of America, from famous paranormal hotspots to hidden locations only known by locals. From well-documented hauntings to chilling urban legends, to cryptids that continue to leave behind unexplained footprints, strange sounds, and eyewitness accounts. Nothing is off limits. But along the way, sure, we'll meet some ghosts, hunt some monsters, explore abandoned places, and ask one question over and over again. What if the legends are true?

Whether you've been listening since the very first episode of Haunted America, or you're just discovering the show, this is the perfect time to join us. Because every month, a new chapter begins, a new state, a new mystery, a new nightmare.

You'll never know what's waiting in the next episode. Maybe it's a haunted lighthouse, cursed mansion. Maybe it's a creature that has been stalking the woods for centuries. Or maybe it's something no one has ever been able to explain.

The road ahead is long. Fifty months, thousands of miles, hundreds of stories, one unforgettable journey. And we want you to be a part of it. If your hometown has a ghost story, if your family has a legend, if you've experienced something that you still cannot explain, we want to hear it. Your story could become part of this journey across America. Follow Haunted America wherever you listen to podcasts. Subscribe so you never miss a stop along the way. Share the series with your friends. And if you know someone who loves ghosts, cryptids, haunted history, or the unexplained, tell them to come with us. Because once this journey begins, there's no turning back. This August, we unlock the first door, the first state, Delaware. From there, we continue state by state, story by story, fear by fear, until we've crossed the entire nation. The question isn't whether America is haunted. The question is, how haunted is it? Find out one state at a time. This is Haunted America, 50 States of Fear. Beginning this August, 50 states, 50 months. One unforgettable journey into the darkest corners of America. Are you ready?

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.

So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.
