The Freemasons & The Knights Templar | This Old Haunt

Listen Below:

What We Cover:

🔑 Secret rituals. Lost treasures. A brotherhood wrapped in mystery.

In this This Old Haunt bonus minisode, host Melanie Malone pulls back the lodge doors on the Freemasons and the legendary Knights Templar, two secret societies that shaped centuries of conspiracy theories and paranormal lore.

We’re stripping away the whispers to uncover the facts: from the Halliwell Manuscript and Euclid’s geometry myth, to Masonic initiation rites with blindfolds, oaths, and symbolic death. Add in the infamous Morgan Affair, where a man vanished after threatening to publish the Masons’ secrets, and you’ve got history’s version of a scandalous true-crime podcast.

And of course, we step into haunted history: shadowy footsteps in the Philadelphia Grand Lodge, eerie voices in the Detroit Masonic Temple, and the lingering aura of ritual secrecy that ghost shows love to spin into full-blown hauntings.

⚔️ Noble brotherhood or dangerous secrecy?
📜 Ritual drama or conspiracy marketing?
👻 Haunted lodges, whispered EVPs, and enough mystery to fuel a History Channel marathon.
