My special guests tonight are authors and paranormal researchers Leanna Renee Hieber and Andrea Janes, who join me to discuss their remarkable new book A Haunted History of Invisible Women.

From the notorious Lizzie Borden to the shadowy halls of Sarah Winchester’s mysterious mansion, this groundbreaking book explores the history behind America’s most famous female ghosts and the haunting stories that surround them. But beyond the legends, Hieber and Janes uncover what these spirits reveal about the cultures and prejudices of their time—and why these women continue to haunt our imagination.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • The enduring legends of wronged lovers, widows, jezebels, and even axe-murderesses
  • Ghosts connected to pivotal historical events, like Bridget Bishop of the Salem witch trials and the nameless victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire
  • How America’s female ghosts reflect the fears, stereotypes, and anxieties of each generation
  • Why these spirits achieve a form of power and agency in death that was denied to them in life

Rich with history, folklore, and paranormal insight, A Haunted History of Invisible Women blends scholarly depth with chilling storytelling. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or simply fascinated by the eerie ways in which ghosts shape culture, this book will give you goosebumps—and a deeper appreciation for the women whose stories refuse to be silenced.
