In Part II of this Halloween Takeover, Ryder and guest co-host Jamie (Into the Crypt) step out of the history books and into modern-day Salem’s most active hauntings. Together, they explore the somber ground of Proctor’s Ledge, uncover the dark legacy and lingering specters of the historic Joshua Ward House, and break down the unexplainable encounters and phantom footsteps inside the iconic Hawthorne Hotel. Part III brings in fellow investigator Zach Stewart (Hope for the Lost Paranormal) to tackle the Lyceum Hall, Old Burying Point Cemetery, and the grim shadows of the Old Salem Jail and Witch Gaol.

In Part I of this case, Ryder is joined by longtime friend and lead investigator of the Cape Girardeau Paranormal Research Group, John Mackey, as they step into the dark history and oppressive atmosphere of 1692 Salem. From its origins as an isolated colonial settlement gripped by fear and harsh winters to the catastrophic mass hysteria that tore through the village, together they unpack the severe trauma, the legal madness of spectral evidence, and the twisted motives that led to the execution of nineteen innocent people. Part II shifts from the courtrooms to the shadows, where Ryder and Jamie explore the hauntings of modern-day Salem and the unexplainable encounters hidden within the Witch City.

Join Ryder and Jamie, host of Paramedia and co-host of Into the Crypt, for a special bonus episode as they explore the dark history and haunting lore of the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. Stretching across the Mississippi River, this abandoned stretch of Route 66 carries a heavy weight—from its famous 22-degree bend to the harrowing 1991 tragedy that forever stained its rusted iron. In this standalone bonus case, the two delve into the bridge's dark past, reported paranormal phenomena, and the chilling possibility of lingering spirits bound to the span long after the lights went dark.
