I'm Already Scared with Dr. Adam
Jul 3, 2026 · 34 min · 16 segments
Ghost Adventures season 2 concludes with an... episode. We'll talk about it. The Historic Ram Inn is an incredible location for a haunting with amazing ambiance. And a lot of history. And that's…
Let's get to a listener story first, though.
This one is from Melanie.
Hi, Melanie.
She says she's a longtime fan of my other podcast, The Sister Wives Professor, and she's a new fan of I'm Already Scared.
And she says she has a pretty spooky story to share, and she did give me permission to share this.
So if you have a spooky story you want to have heard on the podcast, go ahead and send it to me at alreadyscaredpod at gmail.com. Make sure to let me know it's okay to read on the podcast, or I will not do so.
The house I lived in had been built in 1879, a good 50 years before my hometown was even founded, and 100 years before my childhood home had been built.
As you can imagine, living in an old home can be spooky just by the nature of its age, but I had one particular experience that I will never forget.
Being from the West, tornadoes were new to me and extremely unsettling, especially since we were the upper floor of a duplex that had no good storm shelter.
Me and my husband hunkered down with my two toddlers in a hallway that night.
The wind picked up and I heard a woman screaming.
I assumed it was my downstairs neighbor, Mary, and frankly thought, same girl, same.
After the tornado passed, I mentioned to my husband that we should check on Mary, since it seemed she was pretty scared.
My husband looked at me weirdly and said he hadn't heard anything.
I chalked it up to my husband's lack of perception.
Harsh, I know.
And went downstairs to knock on her door and check on her.
Mary was not at home.
She had been at work.
Deeply unsettled and half convinced that I was insane, I decided it was probably just the wind that had sounded like screams, and I tried to forget it.
One thing about me is I am a professional genealogist.
I'm very interested in history, particularly for ordinary families and people.
