About this episode
The Smithsonian Institution was founded on principles of reason and scientific inquiry. So why is the museum home to countless tales of unexplained phenomena and —dare we say — ghost sightings? Inspired by an apparition at the National Museum of American History, we creak across the floorboards of the museum's attics, sneak into an old house in the woods, and even travel back in time to bring you a collection of spooky stories that can only be found at the Smithsonian.

Molly Horrocks, Collections Manager, Division of Political and Military History at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History
Pamela Henson, Institutional Historian at the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives
Cpl. Ronald Howlin, Security Officer at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center
