$100 Giveaway—April 2026

Our community’s support means everything to us, and we could really use your help spreading the word about Our Haunted Travels, Our Haunted Tales, Untold History Revealed, and PANICd.com. If you enjoy exploring haunted locations, eerie legends, forgotten history, and mysterious true stories with us, please consider sharing our pages, videos, podcasts, and posts with friends, family, and fellow history lovers. As a thank-you for helping us grow, anyone who helps spread the word will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 Amazon gift card. A simple share, mention, or recommendation helps more people discover these stories and keeps our community uncovering the strange, the haunted, and the untold together. Every share brings us one step closer to revealing more incredible stories.

Unfortunately, we lack the hundreds of dollars needed to share out our posts every time we post something new on social media. So, we have decided to give back to our community for helping us share our stories, pages, and videos instead of paying all of the social media sites in advertising money. Before we discuss how you can enter the drawing, let us explain our projects.

Our Haunted Travels—Marianne and I started Our Haunted Travels in November of 2018 with our visit to the Tomb of Abraham Lincoln. In our videos, we share with you the location's history, our personal experiences, and any paranormal claims. attached to the location. As of March 2026, we have visited 468 locations, and with over 700 videos on our channel, we have only documented a little over 50% of those locations and visits. We have plenty more content to share, and we are still traveling, hoping to break 500 locations in 2026.

Untold History Reveled—This is a podcast, and Marianne and I started it back before we began Our Haunted Travels. It is a podcast where we discuss historical events, true crime, and ghost stories and folklore, but they may not be associated with locations we have visited. When we began Our Haunted Travels, we stopped producing this podcast; however, in 2026, we brought it back. We are going to try to continue to bring out one new episode each week.

Our Haunted Tales—This is a new project started in 2026. It will feature ghost stories and folklore, true crime, and obscure historical events in graphic novel format. Each episode will be part of a volume of 12 stories. Once a volume is completed and produced, we will compile a print version that will be available on Amazon.

PANICd.com—The heart of the entire system. We started this database back in 2010 and have been documenting haunted locations across the country and U.S. territories. This database is what launched us on the radio show called Beyond the Edge. Each week we would have a segment called "The Haunted Spotlight." This radio show segment led to the Untold History Revealed Podcast and eventually Our Haunted Travels, where we started to visit the locations that were in the database.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP! Most of you know that during COVID, we had to walk away from the Our Haunted Travels project due to work obligations, and we lost our monetization on our YouTube channel. A couple of years later, we tried to get the project started back up again; however, Marianne ran into some medical issues, and we had to put it on hold once again. Now, we have resumed our projects and are striving to revitalize them. Our goal is to get back the momentum we once had in preparation for retirement in a few years from our full-time jobs.

HOW TO ENROLL (And Help)

We can't just give away the money, right? That is not good business sense; we ask you to perform the following checklist to help us out. Please follow this checklist exactly, and you will be registered into the drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card. We will email the card to you if you win. To enter, you must complete each task, which we will be verifying. The drawing will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, and we will post the winner on social media.

Step 6: PATREON PAGE

As mentioned above, from all of our projects, we are not generating income yet, with the exception of our Patreon Supporters (thank you!). You do not have to become a paid member to enter the sweepstakes; however, you can join the page for FREE if you would like. Every time we put out a new video or podcast, we will be making posts through our Patreon page, and you can get notified via email when they come out.

HOWEVER, if you would like to support efforts and travels, we currently have 2 tiers available for supporters.

Tier 1: $1/month or $12/year—with this tier, you will be able to see the locked items on our Patreon page. Once we build up more followers on there, we will start doing live videos as well for supporters. Currently the locked information available are extensions to our podcasts, links to all of the research we have collected for videos and podcasts, and some behind-the-scenes videos from Our Haunted Travels.

Tier 2: At the $5 level, you get everything at the $1 level, plus when we are out traveling, we will send you a postcard from the location we are visiting, plus you will be considered the inner circle's supporters for all of our efforts.

So for this task, we ask you to become a supporter of the Our Haunted Travels Patreon Page.

Step 7: Share the Giveaway

1. Go back to where you saw the notice of this giveaway and share it on Facebook in your timeline. Why would you want to do that? Well... here is why. As we grow, we are going to add to the giveaway. We will add a second-place drawing with a $50 gift card if there is sufficient growth. We'll add a $25 gift card as a third-place prize if it continues. And the more we grow, the more we will add. This whole giveaway is to grow and give back, and that is our plan.

Step 8: Register that you are done.

1. Once you have completed all of the tasks (Steps 1-7), come back to THIS PAGE and leave a comment that you have finished all of the tasks. Again, we will check to verify that you have, so be honest. To comment, you must register here (but in the future, we will email you when we post).

   
   

2. On May 2, we will review all of the comments and enter those who have completed all of the tasks into a hopper. We will begin to draw names. The first one drawn will win the $100 card, and then it will continue if there are more to draw based on the growth we see. We may do this live on Patreon, but we'll announce that later. Either way, we will have the drawing on video.

   
   

3. All winners will receive an email with the gift card.

ENJOY, Good Luck, and Thank You so much for your support!
