Bridget shares her extensive experiences and encounters in the realm of the supernatural, offering listeners an intimate look into her haunted investigations and personal ghostly encounters.
Early Experiences with the Paranormal
Bridget begins by recounting her childhood fascination with the paranormal. At the age of 12, she saved up her babysitting money to purchase a Ouija board, eager to connect with the spirit world.
Bridget Marquardt [03:12]: “The first thing I wanted to buy was a Ouija board. I made my cousin and my little brother play. We were trying to reach out to my great grandfather who had recently passed.”
During one session, unusual marks appeared on her cousin’s legs, causing immense fear and ultimately ending their Ouija board adventures.
Bridget Marquardt [04:25]: “My cousin had these X marks on her legs, like indents. She was terrified to this day.”
Winchester Mystery House Investigation
Bridget shares her eerie experiences while investigating the renowned Winchester Mystery House. During filming, strange occurrences heightened the suspense, including a light fixture falling and the manifestation of Sarah Winchester-like apparitions.
Bridget Marquardt [05:01]: “As I walked in, my tennis shoes turned into Victorian boots. I was trapped inside the house, witnessing strange phenomena.”
One particularly unsettling moment involved a door slamming shut unexpectedly, which Bridget believes was an attempt by a spirit to aid the scene.
Bridget Marquardt [07:37]: “Something put the door shut. I asked the producer if he did it, but he denied it. It felt like the ghost was helping.”
Myrtles Plantation Investigation
For her birthday, Bridget and her partner Nick stayed overnight at the Myrtles Plantation, one of America's most haunted locations. Despite initial inactivity, their investigation took a sinister turn late at night.
Bridget Marquardt [14:23]: “Around three in the morning, we were awakened by unexplained electronic noises. Our K2 meter started reacting erratically.”
They experienced heavy pressure in the room, unexplained noises, and restless spirits, culminating in an unnerving encounter with phantom furniture movement.
Bridget Marquardt [17:27]: “We heard furniture moving above us and children playing. It felt overwhelmingly heavy and tense.”
Morning revealed that others had also heard similar disturbances, confirming the haunting presence within their room.
Bridget Marquardt [20:42]: “The managers mentioned that the last two guests left in the middle of the night, which was unusual.”
Encounters at Holly's House in Vegas
Bridget recounts a harrowing experience at Holly's ex-husband’s haunted guest house in Las Vegas. During an impromptu investigation with friends, they felt a direct connection with the spirits present.
Bridget Marquardt [25:15]: “We were sitting in the guest house, asking questions, and I felt a poke in my shoulder blade. Later, a psychic confirmed it was a little girl spirit.”
This encounter was validated when a psychic later called to report the interaction, solidifying Bridget's belief in the paranormal.
Bridget Marquardt [28:18]: “The psychic said a little girl from the pioneer days had poked me. It was the confirmation I needed. 100%.”
Eastern State Penitentiary and Other Investigations
Bridget delves into her experiences at the Eastern State Penitentiary and the Stanley Mansfield Reformatory. While at the former, she felt an electric jolt during an EVP session, heightening her supernatural encounters.
Bridget Marquardt [31:03]: “I reached out to spirits and felt an electric jolt in my finger. It was as if something touched me.”
Although some investigations yielded minimal activity, Bridget emphasizes the unpredictable nature of hauntings.
Bridget Marquardt [34:32]: “Most investigations don’t yield results on command, but every encounter is unique.”
Latest Investigations: Bethany's Haunted Suite
Recently, Bridget visited Bethany's Haunted Suite in Jackson, California, celebrating her grandmother's 106th birthday. During an EVP session in the National Hotel’s card room, Bridget heard her name clearly, a rare and significant occurrence.
Bridget Marquardt [33:58]: “We were doing an EVP in the card room, and it said my name clearly. It wasn’t a common name, so that was undeniable.”
This experience further fuels her passion for uncovering the mysteries of the supernatural.
Paranormal Investigation Techniques and Experiences
Throughout the episode, Bridget discusses various paranormal investigation methods, including using K2 meters, conducting EVP sessions, and the importance of having an open and respectful mindset during investigations.
Bridget Marquardt [38:34]: “Having people who are open-minded and respectful is crucial. Skepticism can jeopardize the entire experience.”
She also touches on the challenges of capturing accurate EVPs and the thrill when spirits respond directly.
Bridget Marquardt [31:22]: “I've been on countless investigations, and while I often ask for touch, only a few spirits respond. But those encounters are unforgettable.”
Interactive Segment: Choosing Haunted Places
In a fun and engaging game, Corinne and Ryan present Bridget with synopses of three haunted locations. Bridget confidently identifies and chooses Waverly Hills, recognizing it as a paranormal hotspot.
Corinne [48:03]: “Place one sounds like Waverly Hills, with crumbling halls and guaranteed paranormal encounters.”

Light-hearted and Fun Moments
Amidst the eerie stories, the hosts and Bridget share humorous and relatable moments, such as dreaming about bizarre entities and contemplating the choice between encountering a moose or Bigfoot during investigations.
Ryan Reynolds [45:29]: “We both had similar dreams about a monstrous penis. So weird!”
These moments add a touch of levity, balancing the intense paranormal discussions.
