Episode description

A true crime AND haunted location episode all in one?! We got a double whammy this Wednesday guys coming right out of the state of Oregon: this is the story of Danford Balch & the Witch's Castle. Balch was the first legal hanging in Portland, Oregon in 1859 for the murder of his daughter Anna's husband. As legend goes, Balch's wife (or Anna, depending on who you ask) placed a Witch's curse on the property & from there the land, which is now a Park, and the mysterious "castle" that was built there sometime later, have been haunted. Is it Anna, her husband, Balch or his wife to blame for the supposed hauntings? Would you dare take a hike to the Witch's Castle?
