What happens when a book podcast host, a paranormal expert and a cameraman walk into one of America's most haunted destinations? Hopefully, they make it out. For the first time in Book Lounge by Libby history, Joe Skelley is leaving the comforts of the lounge behind for an overnight ghost hunt at Franklin Castle, one of the most notoriously haunted places in the United States! Joined by Christine Schiefer, former co-host of And That's Why We Drink, and Joe's partner Matt behind the camera, this spooky sleepover involves a historic castle, paranormal investigations and the question nobody wants to ask in the middle of the night: WHAT WAS THAT?! We're getting into the history, the hauntings and what it's actually like to spend the night investigating a place with a seriously creepy reputation. Will we encounter something supernatural? Will Joe ever recover emotionally? Will Matt capture anything terrifying on camera? Grab your flashlight, check the locks and join us for an overnight ghost hunt that takes Book Lounge by Libby somewhere we've never gone before. It's a little paranormal investigation, a little haunted-house horror and a whole lot of spooky-season chaos. Powered by libraries. Made for readers. Occasionally, apparently, made for ghost hunters, too. Happy reading... and maybe leave a light on. 👻 Check out our video with Christine over on the ParaPods Network: https://www.youtube.com/@ATWWDPodcast  Looking for the video version of our show?
