Hometown Ghost Stories dives into the history of haunted locations and investigates why and how these places earned their terrifying reputation. Rob, Dave and Jesse go live every Tuesday night, after a 15-20 minute uninterrupted, documentary-style breakdown on the case. You can even join the show - as many do, during the live broadcasts on YouTube, Tuesday nights at 9pm EST, as we talk ghosts, demons, poltergeists, and the horrifying true tales that led to these hauntings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I really love this show and you will too. Rob, Jesse and Dave do their due diligence when it comes to telling both the ghost stories themselves and the historical significance behind each town they do an episode on. Their effort towards making each video and sharing these stories shows in their videos and research. Even if you are remotely interested in the paranormal these guys don’t disappoint. Their Podcast helps me get through long days on my feet at work every day. Thank you for what you do and one day I hope to hear my story told as well. My favorite episode is the one on Emily’s Bridge in Vermont which I hope to one day visit for myself.
I love love love this podcast. I can’t wait until the new episodes come out. I stumbled onto this show by chance. I started listening and got hooked really quickly. I laugh so hard at the banter and love how much work they put into each episode. I’ve never thought so much about hot dog ends, belly buttons and sandpaper. Please keep up all the great work. P.S. I make really great soup that might change your mind on it being a meal choice.
Update: I wouldn’t call myself new anymore but I’m still catching up. I listen to HTGS practically all day long. If I’m at work, driving in the car, or cleaning the house this is what I have playing. I love all of the varieties of the podcast and I’ve recently started joining the Tuesday night live shows and finally figured out how to join the discord. Watching, listening, and following everywhere I am able to, and hoping to join the Patreon soon! 💙💜 20 stars if I could.
Southern Gothic posted the Sharpsburg episode to their feed on 3/31/2025. I was instantly hooked on this show. I love the paranormal and I’m also a history buff. This show combines the two. The guys do a great job of researching and writing the stories each week. I’ve been making my way through the backlog of episodes. I listen to the new episodes and then go back to old. Great show, thanks for the hours of entertainment and information guys.
