110. Hales Bar Dam
In the first of what is probably destined to be some sort of suite of dam episodes, we're tackling the Hales Bar Dam. Which is a surprisingly unknown name for what is apparently the most haunted dam in the U.S.! Also, it's actually very bad at damming. This is the story of the Hales Bar Dam. Come for the ghosts, stay for M-16 pocket protectors, MCU Donny, the meany lessons of Poltergeist, land investor Dracula, you can eat a horse, mom got the big suck, Schrödinger’s town, and normal naked dude.

109. Fort De Soto Park and the Sunshine Sky Bridge
Ah, the gulf coast of Florida, where the fish are boiling and the reefs are painted red, white, and blue. Good luck, Floridians. This is the story of Fort De Soto Park and the Sunshine Sky Bridge. Come for the ghosts, stay for I'm very swampy, canoe warfare, battle stingrays, beach wool, The Price is Right gun pit, unkillable buses, and the first Florida Man.

107. Iowa's Edinburgh Manor
Don't get too excited. This Edinburgh is in Iowa, so there's zero chance of broadswords in this episode. Lame. (Heck of a lot of ghosts, though.) This is the story of the ghosts of Edinburgh Manor. Come for the ghosts, stay for first you beef, then you feast, George Miller presents Iowa: Animosa, water park is the obvious choice, be real nice to your kids, how do curses depreciate over time?, getting choked in Room 240, and I detect notes of rope hemp.

106. Fisher's Ghost of Campbelltown, Australia
Oh nar! It's another Australian ghost! This is the story of Fisher's Ghost. Come for the ghost, stay for masters + 30 + tattoo, lost a lot of good horses that day, the Australian way to end an argument, a good deal on a horse, how much does it cost in spiders?, ghost butt energy, and the Spider King's curfew.
