The Dancing Toaster podcast- Ep 38- Haunted Hotels of New Zealand

In episode 38 of the dancing toaster, I take you on a guided tour through New Zealand’s most talked about haunted hotels, weighing folklore, history, and faith. We visit Saint Bathan’s Vulcan hotel, and its infamous room number one, where the legend of Rose lingers on. In Napier, the Art Deco Masonic Hotel becomes a case study for residual hauntings amid the cities 1931 quake scars. Dunedin‘s Leviathan hotel raises hard questions about attribution as the story of Mrs. Antis silk collides with historical records. Christchurch’s Riccarton racecourse hotel anchors its eerie reputation to a real 1933 unsolved murder. The journey culminates at the Waitomo caves hotel, perched on tapu limestone and soaked in layered tales about room 12, room, 14, and cat alley. Throughout, I challenge listeners to test claims, consider how expectation shapes experience, and reflect on a biblical worldview of the supernatural.

The dancing toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith in the unexplained. I release new episodes every Tuesday wherever podcasts are found.
