When I had gone up there, it's right next to like a big freeway.

It's very noisy and you can hear all kinds of birds and animals freaking around and all that stuff.

But as soon as you step past a certain threshold, it becomes dead silent, right next to the road and everything else.

And it was really, really eerily creepy in the way that it seems wrong.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome to a very special episode of Dark House.

I'm Alyssa Furentino.

And I'm Hadley Mendelsohn, and we are your co-hosts.

If you're new here in each episode, we spotlight a haunted or otherwise infamous house and dig into its architecture, history, and reputation.

But today we're actually spotlighting an interview with a special guest related to last week's episode where we went to Honolulu, Hawaii.

There were simply way too many cool people that we wanted to talk to in last week's episode about the Kasha House of Kaimuki. So we decided to split this interview into a new bonus episode. Today, you'll get to hear

a conversation with the one and only Jacob Batalone, who you may recognize as Ned Leads from

Marvel's Spider-Man or maybe his new show, Reginald the Vampire on sci-fi.

We talked about everything from his experience growing up on Oahu to what's next for him in his

Hollywood career and, of course, ghost stories.

So without further ado, here's our conversation with Jacob.

Hi, welcome to Dark House.

Thanks for having me on.

We are very excited.

Great, thank you.

So to start us off, you grew up in Hawaii.

Yes.
