About This Podcast
Citegeist explores the paranormal through an archival lens. Each episode begins with a ghost story as it’s typically told, and then we dive into the archive for a ghoulish gossip sesh, examining historical and archival resources to learn what really happened. You'll find that oftentimes, the real history is stranger, and scarier, than ghosts.
