Haunted American History

A daily campfire-style podcast blending American history, folklore, and true crime.
What scares you? Let’s find out.

Christopher Feinstein is a horror writer, author, creator, and host of Haunted American History, a daily podcast exploring the ghosts, folklore, cryptids, strange history, and darker corners of America’s past.

Since launching Haunted American History in 2020, Feinstein has built the show around a simple idea: the truth behind a legend is often just as fascinating—and sometimes far stranger—than the legend itself. His work combines deep historical research with casual storytelling, examining not only the stories Americans tell, but why we continue telling them.

He is also the author of the horror novel The Forgotten Borough and continues to develop projects across fiction, film, live events, and nonfiction.
