Happy Halloween!!! On this week's episode I am telling Russ about what is said to be one of the most haunted houses in America. 1140 Royal Street is located in New Orleans Louisiana and it has a legacy ripped right out of a horror film. In 1834 a fire broke out in the mansion.

The evidence is mad weak!- Michael Morton and Adnan Syed

"What are you waiting for huh?!" - Kaitlyn Arquette
On this week's episode I'm telling Russ about the tragic murder of Kaitlyn Arquette and her mother's crusade to find the truth.
