In this episode, Morgan and Mike learn about Leap Castle in Ireland, built between the 13th and late 15th centuries. It is infamous for its dark history.

Haunted Healthcare (with Richard Estep)
Anyone who has worked in healthcare in a hospital setting has some interesting stories to tell. Not only tales of life-saving and sometimes loss, but there are other not-so-common tales as well. Perhaps it is a tale of some unseen presence that only seems to take place in one place. Maybe it is something spiritually relevant, like a patient’s recollection of a near-death experience or some otherwise unexplainable occurrences. Morgan and today’s guest, Richard Estep, are both regulars on the television shows, “Haunted Hospitals,” and “Paranormal 911.” In both of those series, healthcare providers, former patients, and first responders all share their own encounters with things they were unable to explain away.
