  • Taunton State Hospital

    Taunton State Hospital
    Feb 23 2026
    This week on Tales, Trails & Taverns, Rob takes Joe deep into the shadowed history of one of New England’s most infamous institutions: Taunton State Hospital. Opened in 1854 as the State Lunatic Hospital at Taunton, the sprawling Kirkbride-style complex was once considered cutting-edge in the treatment of mental illness.
    Over the decades, its towering brick wards, overcrowded conditions, controversial treatments, and whispered rumors transformed it into something far darker in the public imagination. Rob walks Joe through the hospital’s history — from its early reform-era optimism to its decline, deinstitutionalization, and the eventual demolition of many of its original structures. But history books only tell part of the story.
    Long before fences went up and buildings came down, Taunton State Hospital became a rite of passage for local teens. Rob shares what it was like exploring the abandoned buildings that once stood on the grounds — shattered windows, peeling paint, long echoing corridors, and the uneasy feeling that someone might still be watching from the shadows. And then there were the tunnels. Connecting parts of the campus beneath the surface, the underground passageways carried steam lines — and stories.
    Rob recounts what it felt like descending into those dark, claustrophobic corridors as a teenager: the smell of damp concrete, the distant drip of water, the adrenaline of knowing you weren’t supposed to be there, and the creeping sense that the past hadn’t fully left.
    Was it just teenage nerves in an abandoned asylum… or something else? Join us as we explore the layered history, the urban exploration memories, and the lingering legends surrounding Taunton State Hospital — a place where architecture, tragedy, and curiosity collided.
    Turn down the lights… this one goes underground.

  • Valentines Horror Movie Review: Heart Eyes (2025)

    Valentines Horror Movie Review: Heart Eyes (2025)
    Feb 16 2026
    This week on Tales, Trails & Taverns, Rob and Joe sit down to talk slashers, superstition, and summer camp legends as we review the 2025 horror film Heart Eyes.
    We break down what worked, what didn’t, and where Heart Eyes fits into the modern wave of Valentine’s Day–themed horror. From kills to callbacks, we dig into the movie’s inspirations and whether it earns a place among classic holiday slashers.
    We also discuss the origins of Friday the 13th. We explore the real-world origins of the superstition, tracing the fear back through history, folklore, and religious legend—and how that unlucky date became permanently linked to horror culture.
    We also head into the woods to talk about Friday the 13th and the real-life location that brought Camp Crystal Lake to life.
    We discuss Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, the summer camp where the original film was shot, its history, and why it remains one of the most iconic filming locations in horror history.
    Grab a drink, lock the cabin door, and join us as love, luck, and legends collide—because some dates… and some places… were never meant to be romantic.

  • Love, Loss, and Lingering Spirits | A Friday the 13th Special

    Love, Loss, and Lingering Spirits | A Friday the 13th Special
    Feb 9 2026
    With Friday the 13th falling just days before Valentine’s Day, Joe takes Rob on a darker journey through love stories that didn’t end in happily ever after—but may not have ended at all. In this episode, Joe shares three tragic love stories rooted in New England history and legend, where heartbreak, betrayal, and obsession may have left something behind.
    The first story brings us deep into the Freetown State Forest, to the cliffs of Assonet Ledge, where witnesses have reported seeing a mysterious Woman in White. Often referred to as the Lady of the Ledge, her origins are tangled in loss, sorrow, and the dangerous edge where love may have quite literally gone over the cliff.
    Next, the journey heads north to New Hampshire, and the haunting tale of Nancy Barton. After her lover steals her life savings and disappears, Nancy sets out into the wilderness in the dead of winter to chase him down. She never makes it back. To this day, hikers report strange sounds and unsettling feelings in the woods where she died—leading many to believe Nancy may still be searching.
    The final story takes us to Rhode Island, overlooking Narragansett Bay, where the tragic life of Hannah Robinson unfolds. A young woman who eloped against her father’s wishes, Hannah’s love leaves her abandoned, impoverished, and gravely ill. When she is finally brought home to reconcile with her family, she asks to stop one last time at her favorite spot overlooking the water. She dies shortly after. Today, the Hannah Robinson Tower on Tower Hill Road stands as a memorial to a love that cost everything.
    Three stories. Three broken hearts. And three places where love may still linger. This Valentine’s season, romance takes a back seat to tragedy—because some love stories don’t fade…
    they haunt.
