Discover eerie hotspots like New Orleans, Williamsburg, and Charleston, where tales of haunted houses, mysterious tunnels, and historic lantern-lit streets come to life. Along the way, Crystal and Joe delve into their personal ghost tour experiences, sharing memorable costumes from childhood and the quirks that make each tour unforgettable, including an Asheville tour featuring a hilarious mad Russian scientist and unexpected props.
