Adirondack ghost stories podcast — ADK Talks Podcast.

In this spine-tingling episode of ADK Talks, we delve into the shadows with the Adirondack Park Paranormal Society, the region’s foremost team of ghost hunters and supernatural sleuths.

Their expertise and experience have led them to investigate some of the most haunted locations in the Adirondacks, from eerie whispers in historic hotels to mysterious figures spotted deep in the woods.

Adirondack Park Paranormal Society investigates ghosts at Hotel Saranac — The Great Hall Bar at Hotel Saranac: site of paranormal activity.

Join us as we explore the science and skepticism behind paranormal investigations, uncover the history of the places they’ve researched, and hear firsthand accounts of their encounters.

We also discuss how the Adirondacks’ complex history makes it a target-rich area for paranormal activity.

Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just love a good ghost story, this episode is for you. We welcome all perspectives, and this episode will have you questioning what lurks beyond the veil.

Turn down the lights, turn up the volume, and prepare for a journey into the paranormal.
