It seems like every town in Maine has that house. For sisters Alisa and Bethany, that house -- an imposing antique Victorian in Burnham -- was home for most of their childhood. But it was also home to various entities, and not all of them had good intentions. Years later, Alisa met Becky and they were fast friends. Then they realized they not only share a birthday, they grew up in the same house and experienced the same menacing haunting. You can hear their three stories in their entirety when Pine State Gothic returns on November 11, 2020.
