  1. Ghosts, Grief, and the Evidence We Carry w/ Steve Dills & Andy Andrews | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 58

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A code word meant for one person on the other side. A voice that seems to know it. A moment so specific you either laugh it off or rethink everything you believe about grief, memory, and connection. That’s where our conversation with Steve Dills of "Transcend Paranormal" and our Gettysburg manager Andy Andrews leads, and it goes far beyond typical “ghost hunter” talk.

    We start with Steve’s early experiences in a Virginia home that felt targeted and relentless, then follow the questions that came after: what is a ghost, why do some places feel charged, and how do you investigate without turning real history into a circus act? Steve shares why he leans into field science and environmental data, including reports of ionizing radiation spikes and barometric pressure changes that sometimes line up with EVP moments. We also dig into why repeatability is so hard in paranormal investigation, and why that doesn’t automatically make careful research meaningless.

    From there, the episode turns personal and surprisingly hopeful. We talk about haunted locations as anchors for human stories, why doing your homework on history matters, and how Steve’s book The Ghosts We Carry reframes “haunting” as the imprint people leave on us. Andy shares the grief that shaped his life, the signs that still show up, and how those experiences changed the way he approaches spirit communication, energy, and risk in the field.

  2. The Truth Behind New Orleans Vampires w/ Marita Woywod Crandle | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 57

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A vampire boutique is one thing. Turning it into a French Quarter destination with a hidden speakeasy, a Vampire Cafe, and a vampire apothecary that hosts seances and private parties is something else entirely. We’re joined in studio by entrepreneur and author Marita Woywod Crandle, the mind behind some of the most talked-about vampire-themed experiences in New Orleans, and she walks us through how it all started and why it kept expanding.

    We get into New Orleans vampire lore the right way: what’s legend, what’s historically traceable, and why stories like the casket girls keep evolving. Marita shares what it was like getting a private look inside the convent attic that helped shape her research, then pivots into a moment that sounds impossible to shrug off: a well-dressed man with a cane, a Romanian accent, a dog growling like never before, and a disappearance so clean her husband insists nobody even left the shop. If you love haunted New Orleans, paranormal storytelling, and the thin line between tourism and myth, this one delivers.

    Then we go behind the curtain on the business reality: building a restaurant during the pandemic, creating “vampire food” that’s genuinely great dining, engineering immersive events, and surviving the brutal parts of French Quarter operations like construction chaos, permits, rent, and even rats. We also talk books, from Mosquito to the upcoming Carter Brothers-inspired historical novel, plus the rare art of four edged paintings tied to her release.

  3. Can Your Mind Create a Haunting? w/ Brett The Haunted Therapist | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 56

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A ghost hunt can feel like pure external reality until you ask a tougher question: what if the haunting is also happening inside us? Tim Nealon sits down with Brett Harpp, LHMC-D, a licensed mental health counselor and EMDR certified therapist known as the Haunted Therapist, to explore why paranormal experiences can be authentic, eerie, and still deeply shaped by the brain, the nervous system, and the stories we carry.

    We dig into the surprising links between trauma and paranormal sensitivity, why curiosity can act like an antidote to anxiety, and how “patterns” may matter even when lab style repeatability is impossible. Brett shares what it’s like to run a private practice in a reportedly haunted building, how clients describe consistent phenomena, and why the observer may be part of the experiment. From there we get practical: meditation, discernment, and a simple five senses grounding exercise you can use before a ghost investigation or a trip into Bigfoot country.

    We also tackle the hard edge of the topic: when “possession” or hearing voices might be a mental health crisis, how clinicians can assess anomalous experiences without defaulting to ridicule or blind belief, and why grief is a powerful driver of paranormal seeking. Along the way, Tim brings his own consciousness field theory into the mix, asking whether the brain creates consciousness or receives it, and what that would imply for EVPs, apparitions, and perception itself.

  4. Can Psychics and Ghost Hunting Equipment Agree? w/ Tawney Lewis | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 55

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A lot of paranormal conversations get stuck in a tired fight: either you “believe in psychics” or you “believe in equipment.” We wanted something more useful than that, so we brought on Tawney Lewis, a longtime paranormal investigator who’s also a certified psychic medium and intuition teacher. She explains how she actually runs a ghost hunting investigation when she’s trying to be accurate, not theatrical: quick walkthroughs, careful notes, then testing the same hotspots with tools like K2 meters and other standard paranormal gear to see what lines up.

    We also get real about the credibility problem in mediumship. Tawney doesn’t sugarcoat it: people should be skeptical, because some self-proclaimed mediums rush to charge money without development, boundaries, or ethics. She shares how she discovered mediumship through training, why she prefers calling herself “intuitive” on investigations, and how learning to “turn it off” keeps the work from taking over your life.

    If you’ve ever wondered what it means to “tap in,” we break down the clairs in plain English: clairsentient feeling, clairvoyant seeing, clairaudient hearing, and claircognizant knowing. We also talk practical practice ideas you can try at home, why saying the “stupid” detail out loud sometimes matters most, and how haunted locations can ramp up from intent, attention, and even investigators bringing extra energy with them.

    Then we go into the stuff everyone asks about: demons, dark entities, and what “not human” can feel like, including a basement encounter Tawney chose to avoid. We close with favorite haunted locations, EVP mysteries, a Gettysburg moment that still gives chills, and where to find Tawny’s upcoming events and classes.

  5. What Is Bigfoot, Really? w/ Brittany Barbieri | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 54

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A scream in the Rockies. A guard llama sounding the alarm. And a family confession that something stood up on two legs and walked away. We talk with cryptozoologist and on-camera researcher Brittany Barbieri about the moment that flipped her worldview early, and how that kind of fear in an experienced outdoors person becomes a data point you can’t casually explain away.

    From there, we go deep into the roots of modern cryptozoology through zoologist Ivan Sanderson and the legendary Sanderson files. Brittany explains what changes when you read original letters, notes, casts, and catalogs instead of secondhand internet lore, and why Sanderson’s method of elimination still matters for anyone trying to study an unknown animal responsibly. We also unpack the infamous Florida “penguin footprints” story, how hoaxes spread, and why serious researchers still get targeted.

    Then things get complicated: the Minnesota Iceman, disturbing implications in Sanderson’s own words, and the uncomfortable question of what Bigfoot might be. We debate ape vs hominin, push back on magical explanations, and talk about treating Sasquatch research like wildlife biology, including why raw sighting counts can be misleading. If you’re curious about Bigfoot, cryptids, and how to start researching without getting lost in the noise, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves the weird, and leave a review with your take: what do you think Bigfoot really is?

  6. Why Do People Keep Seeing Cryptids? w/ Lyle Blackburn | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 53

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    People love to laugh at cryptids until a credible witness looks you in the eye and says, “I saw it.” That’s where this conversation gets interesting. We sit down with author and cryptozoologist Lyle Blackburn to talk about Bigfoot, Dogman, and the stranger edge of cryptozoology, but we keep coming back to the real core of the mystery: why modern people keep reporting encounters they can’t explain.

    We dig into how eyewitness reports form under stress, bad lighting, quick glimpses, and deep fear, and why local folklore can give the same kind of encounter a totally different name depending on where you are. From Rougarou stories in Louisiana to the sudden rise of “Dogman” as a label, Lyle explains how monster traditions evolve, how internet culture changes reporting, and why some witnesses describe a darker, more threatening presence with canine-shaped creatures than they do with Sasquatch. If you’ve ever wondered whether Dogman is biological, paranormal, or simply misidentified wildlife filtered through legend, you’ll have a lot to chew on.

    We also get practical about research. Lyle makes the case for fieldwork, original sources, newspaper archives, and face-to-face interviews over copy-pasted blog posts and shallow “Google research.” Then we go deep on one of the wildest cases: the Lake Worth Monster, a 1969 encounter that involves multiple witnesses, police attention, and a story that stayed consistent inside a family for decades. We round things out with devil monkeys, phantom felines, “animals out of place,” and the future of Bigfoot research, including using AI to analyze patterns as if Sasquatch is a real animal with real habits.

    If you’re into Bigfoot, Dogman, cryptozoology, eyewitness testimony, American folklore, and investigative research, hit play and come with us. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves a good mystery, and leave a review with the cryptid you want us to tackle next.

  7. What Do Ghosts Want From Us? w/ Tammie Chavez (Hollyweird Paranormal Podcast) | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 52

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A ghost that asks for nudity cards, a jelly donut, and pear cider sounds like a joke until the activity stops the moment someone finally listens. We sit down withTammie Chavez of the Hollyweird Paranormal Podcast, a New Orleans native turned Los Angeles costume designer and paranormal investigator, to talk about what actually powers the best ghost stories. Spoiler: it isn’t the gadgets, the catchphrases, or the “prove you’re dead” questions. It’s people, history, and the need to be heard.

    We go deep on the big questions that keep investigators up at night: does consciousness survive death, do we have a choice to stay or move on, and why do spirits go silent when we ask what the other side is like? Tammie shares a powerful personal moment after her mother’s death, and we compare notes on the strange patterns that show up when you ask better questions. From haunted theatres and creative “channeling” to community-driven history like the Lopez Adobe, we explore why place, memory, and emotion cling together.

    Then we turn to haunted Los Angeles with context, not hype. We talk the Cecil Hotel, the ethics of paranormal content creation, and why the living can be far scarier than the dead in spaces shaped by poverty, trauma, and addiction. Finally, we get nerdy with methodology: shadow people that might be two dimensional, and EVP experiments that suggest voices aren’t “sound” at all, but electromagnetic energy being shaped into speech.

    If you care about haunted history, ethical ghost hunting, EVPs, shadow people, and afterlife theories, this one will give you new questions to ask and a better way to ask them. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves the paranormal, and leave a review with your own theory: what do you think spirits actually want from us?

  8. What Are Ghosts, Really? w/ Splintered Spirits Podcast | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 51

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A spirit box blurts out “mom’s on the phone” and then the phone actually rings. That’s the kind of moment that forces you to slow down, stop arguing about labels, and ask better questions about what we’re really interacting with when we chase the paranormal.

    We’re joined by Gary Shapiro and John Santa from the Splintered Spirits Podcast to talk about ghost hunting without the performative fear. John explains his live-stream style of documenting spirits in real time, why he avoids the “everything is demons” culture, and how he tries to build simple safeguards against apps that may be listening or reinforcing what you just said. We also get into the biggest traps in spirit communication: audio pareidolia, overconfident assumptions, and the temptation to build a whole story from a single word.

    From there we zoom out into the bigger debate: what would count as proof for a skeptic, and why do belief systems in the paranormal get defended like religion or identity? We talk haunted people syndrome, transliminality, and a “ghost magnet” survey meant to explore why some people seem to attract recurring experiences. Then we go philosophical with competing theories of what ghosts might be: memory fragments, consciousness streams, and thought-forms shaped by collective attention.

  9. From Candle Magic to Demonology w/ Kalei Bogetti | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 50

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    You can laugh about “voodoo candles” at a gas station right up until someone explains why they work and why they sometimes go wrong. We sit down with Kalei, known online as kaleiseesdeadpeople and The Crystal Patch, to talk about witchcraft, psychic mediumship, and what it actually means to “manipulate energy to create change” in a modern, practical way.

    We dig into intention as a real skill: why vagueness creates messy outcomes, how visualization and focus shape results, and what beginners should do first if they want to explore candle magic, petitions, cleansing, tarot, or spiritual protection. Kalei shares the unsexy advice that saves people the most pain: read books, learn foundations, and expect trial and error before you expect “big” manifestations. We also talk about her goal in this work now, helping people make decisions, feel grounded, and reconnect with loved ones through mediumship readings without turning spirituality into a performance.

    Then the conversation shifts into the paranormal world that pulled her in fast: 200 plus investigations, what she believes separates human spirits from something darker, and why she uses the word demon as “a non-human, negative, parasitic entity” rather than a purely religious label. Kalei walks us through the pattern she’s studying in demonology, how fear and negative energy can escalate experiences inside haunted locations, and why sometimes the smartest move is simply leaving the building.

  10. Can Consciousness Explain the Paranormal? w/ Serena DC | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 49

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    Aliens, ghosts, consciousness, and the algorithm that decides what you see next all collide in this conversation with Serena DC, co-founder of Spark TV and creator of The Hybrids. We start with the question most people are afraid to ask out loud: what does it actually mean when someone claims they’re an alien hybrid or says they’ve had children with extraterrestrials? Serena walks us through why she made a documentary on the topic, how she presses for truth without instant cynicism, and why the sheer number of Goldilocks planets makes “impossible” a lot harder to defend than we think.

    From there, we zoom out into the deeper framework that quietly ties the paranormal together: consciousness. We talk about the brain as a receiver, intuition as a kind of signal, and a practical method Serena uses to get unstuck creatively and emotionally: ask a clear question, then literally listen for the answer. Tim connects that to his own work on a consciousness theory and to how AI tools like ChatGPT can train us to ask better questions, even while hinting that we may not need the “device” as much as we think.

    We also get into timeline shifting, mental health, and Mel Robbins’ Let Them concept as a surprisingly sharp tool for dropping anger and control. Finally, Serena breaks down Spark TV’s mission to modernise paranormal and consciousness content, fix the discovery problem that buries great creators, and prepare for a near future where disclosure and better evidence could flip the conversation from “is it real?” to “what now?” If you’re curious about alien hybrids, paranormal streaming, the consciousness field, and the next era of UFO and afterlife media, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

  11. The Human Side of Paranormal Investigation w/ Shari DeBenedetti | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 48

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    Something grabs your ankles the moment you slide into bed. Your wrists get forced down. You try to yell, but nothing comes out. Then a perfect copy of your boyfriend appears at the foot of the bed, except the face is a blank, distant black. Shari DeBenedetti i doesn’t tell that story for shock value, she tells it because it’s the moment that pushed her from fear into a lifetime of questions.

    We sit down with Shari, a paranormal investigator of nearly 30 years and a familiar face from Ghost Hunters and Ghost Nation, to talk about what real fieldwork looks like when you care about evidence, people, and your own integrity. We get into debunking the everyday (electrical, plumbing, pests, health) and why calling everything “demonic” is not just lazy, it actively harms homeowners and cheapens paranormal investigation. Shari also shares a wild case tied to the Danvers asylum area, where activity centered on her partner, escalated over time, and forced a hard look at what “attachment” might really mean.

    Then we go deeper into the part most shows skip: research. Town halls, libraries, historical societies, neighbors, and the slow work of matching names and stories to experiences. We also talk about EVPs, tools like a Dead Bell device, and the strange pattern many investigators report: spirits might answer practical questions, but go silent when asked what the afterlife is like.

  12. Honest Ghost Hunting and the Future of Paranormal Investigation w/ Ghost Trip Investigation | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 47

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A skeptic walks into a “haunted” pub expecting an easy laugh, and walks out with his worldview cracked open. That’s where our conversation with Adam and Dan from Ghost Trip Investigation begins, and it only gets bigger from there. We talk about how GTI grew from COVID-era TikTok livestreams into a weekly, five-hours-at-a-time grind that millions now watch, and why they insist on filming paranormal investigations live even when it means risking a totally uneventful night.

    We get honest about the uncomfortable truth behind ghost hunting: most of it is waiting, listening, and trying not to fill silence with nonsense. Adam and Dan explain how they keep viewers engaged without screaming through hallways or inventing “demons,” how they debunk suspicious moments in real time, and why “nothing happened” can actually be the strongest proof that a team isn’t staging evidence. We also dig into what they think they might be communicating with, from consciousness and survival after death to the stone tape theory and time-slip style ideas that raise more questions than answers.

    Then we go on the road. You’ll hear stories from Arizona (Jerome and Tombstone), culture shocks from their Texas run, and a deep dive into Yorktown Memorial Hospital and why its history still clings to the building. We also tackle the Annabelle conversation head-on: the aura people report, the negative EVPs Adam and Dan say they captured, and the nightmare aftermath that mirrors Tim's own experiences with darker-feeling cases. If you care about authentic paranormal content, community trust, and the future of ghost hunting beyond TV-style escalation, this one is for you.

    Episode 46

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A shadow in a hallway is one thing. Watching a “lab coat” figure glide out from a nurses station when the person you sent down the corridor is wearing black leggings is something else entirely. We're joined by Ghost Hunters standouts Richel Stratton and Brian Murray for a wide-ranging, brutally honest talk about what actually keeps investigators in the field after the adrenaline fades.

    We dig into the moments that started it all, Richel childhood encounter with a figure in period clothing and Brian’s first full-on sighting that left him researching out of fear and sleepless nights. From there we get into one of our favorite haunted locations, Old South Pittsburgh Hospital, including why it produces so many reports of shadow people, EVPs and apparitions, plus the recurring legend of the tall doctor often identified as Dr. Joseph E. Shelby. If you’ve ever searched for credible Old South Pittsburgh Hospital ghost stories, this conversation gets specific about what was seen and how investigators react when the gear is dead and the weird stuff still happens.

    Then we head to the Conjuring House and talk about what the cameras don’t always show: how a location can feel peaceful in daylight and “switch” at night, the sounds of voices and movement, rattling doors, beds being bumped, and the very human reality of getting spooked enough to want a buddy for a dark hallway. We also tackle the demon debate with a clear stance: not every aggressive entity deserves the label, and paranormal TV and viral videos often reward the loudest claim instead of the best evidence.

    We wrap with what they’re building now, including "Adventures With Brichel - The Road Trip" on Beacon TV, their podcast format, and why real on-camera chemistry is impossible to fake for long.

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    A handwritten meatloaf recipe from Lizzie Borden turns into a surprisingly deep question: can food be a more honest way to time travel than any EVP session? We sit down with Amy Bruni to follow that thread from haunted houses to historic kitchens, and it gets personal fast.

    Amy shares how 30 years of paranormal research and TV work on Ghost Hunters and Kindred Spirits shaped her biggest rule: don’t reduce people to the way they died. We dig into why the best investigations start with real history, genealogy, and the small details that made someone’s daily life feel like a life. That same philosophy powers her cookbooks Food to Die For and the new Cuisine to Kill For, where recipes from haunted locations connect to true crime stories and the lived experience behind the legend.

    We also talk about the modern paranormal media machine: why “demons everywhere” sells, why belief systems make people shut down, and why Amy thinks the scariest thing you can run into might be a living person, not a spirit. Add in motherhood, anxiety, and the pressure of helping families in crisis, and you get a candid look at what respectful paranormal investigation actually demands.

  15. Ghost Hunting, Haunted Tourism, and the Ethics of Evidence w/ Ghost Brothers | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 44

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    The Ghost Brothers pull up in-house with us in New Orleans and the vibe is exactly what you want from a paranormal podcast: real friends, real stories, and zero pretending. Dalen Spratt, Marcus Harvey and Juwan Mass talk about how they got started as “fish out of water” investigators, why that honesty connected with fans, and what it’s like staying close after a decade of filming haunted locations while life keeps moving.

    From there we get into the messy middle of the paranormal world: the Annabelle doll panic, the Warren controversies, and why famous cases can contain truth while still being inflated into legend. We also unpack what “evidence” even means when you’re trying to be fair, especially when the Ghost Brothers describe an SLS camera moment that made the room go silent. That conversation naturally turns toward ethics, because haunted tourism and ghost hunting content can drift into treating real trauma like entertainment if you’re not careful.

    We also go beyond ghosts into the surge of cryptid curiosity. Tim shares two Bigfoot encounters, including footprint casts in remote Oregon and a roadside sighting that still messes with his head, and we talk about why people are hungry for mysteries like UFOs and Sasquatch right now. The bigger takeaway is simple: curiosity is worth protecting, and exploring the world beats living on a screen.

  16. Can Fear Create a Haunted Experience? w/ Jake Bruce | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 43

    Show notes

    Let us know who you want to hear next!

    Something weird happens when you spend enough time in “haunted” places: you start wondering how much of the fear is out there and how much is in your own head. Jake Bruce joins us to talk about building a career in ghost hunting on YouTube while staying honest, staying sane, and refusing to treat every noise as proof. We get into how he and his brother started by taking paranormal investigation way too seriously, why that can mess with your mental health, and what changed when he decided to lighten up and think more logically.

    We break down the psychology that sits under almost every EVP session and late-night walkthrough. Jake shares why the Velisca Axe Murder House felt oppressive even to a skeptical friend, and we wrestle with the uncomfortable question: do expectations make a location feel more haunted? From fear of ghosts to fear of the dark, we talk pareidolia, fight-or-flight, and why nighttime can turn ordinary sounds into “evidence” if you’re not careful.

    Then we go deep on Gettysburg history and hauntings. Jake explains why Gettysburg feels like a time machine, why it keeps pulling people back, and how he’s investigating famous Gettysburg ghost photos and that well-known “soldiers in the trees” video by tracking down original sources, cameras, film, and possible recreation methods. We also touch cryptids like Bigfoot and Mothman, what makes a claim believable, and where paranormal entertainment might be headed next as TV fades and YouTube evolves.

    If you like ghost hunting, haunted history, EVPs, skeptical debunking, and honest paranormal storytelling, this one’s for you.

  17. The Science Behind Skinwalker Ranch w/ Kaleb Bench | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 42

    A rocket climbs, a light appears, and the “normal” rules start slipping. We’re joined by Kaleb Bench from Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch to unpack what the team is actually doing when they say they’re running a scientific investigation and why they keep repeating the same experiments even when viewers think they have seen it before. When you only get 45 minutes on TV, context disappears fast, so we slow it down and follow the details.

    We talk through the ranch’s core tools and why they matter: rocket launches as repeatable stimuli, drones as measurement platforms, GPS anomalies that suggest timing or signal interference, and Erik Bard’s Metaframe system designed to catch rapid changes in light that standard cameras miss. Caleb explains the infamous moments people argue about online, including drones that drop after their systems believe they “moved” a mile instantly, strange blue orb-like streaks near rockets, and LIDAR scans that show interference patterns unlike other sites the same experts map worldwide.

    Then the conversation swerves into the stuff nobody expects, including a jawbone an expert matches to a juvenile direwolf and how “unknown DNA” results can be more about database limits than a clean debunk. We also get into the big, uncomfortable questions the data keeps forcing: is this human technology, a natural geophysical effect in the Uinta Basin, or something closer to non-human intelligence? And if the ranch reacts to energy, attention, and experiments, what does that imply about what’s watching and why it responds?

    If you’re curious about Skinwalker Ranch, UAP research, UFO sightings, electromagnetic effects, and how real-world field science works when the target won’t cooperate, hit play.

  19. Buying a Haunted House and Living With the Consequences w/ Ashley of Ghost Gossip Podcast | Ghost City Podcast

    Episode 41

    A haunting is creepy, sure, but the real gut punch is the moment you realise telling the truth might cost you your credibility. Ashley from the Ghost Gossip Podcast joins us to talk about buying a haunted house without knowing it, renovating it anyway, and watching small, “explainable” moments turn into a pattern you cannot unsee. When her kids start reporting their own experiences, the story stops being a spooky anecdote and becomes a family problem that demands real choices.

    We get into what actually helps when a home feels spiritually charged: saging, prayer, intention setting, and the unglamorous work of boundaries. Ashley explains why she thinks the ritual matters less than the energy and behaviour behind it, and we compare notes on skepticism, partners who need proof, and why some spirits seem to push buttons on purpose. Along the way we talk mental health, trauma, hypervigilance, and how those life experiences might make some people more sensitive to shifts in a room, a mood, or a presence.

    Then we zoom out to the wider paranormal world: haunted hotels, road investigations, and the kind of evidence you cannot easily document, like feeling a hug at the Crescent Hotel or sensing a personality in a space. Ashley shares where she wants to take her show next with deeper haunted history research, including notorious locations like Missouri State Penitentiary, and why getting the history right matters as much as any ghost story.

    If you like grounded paranormal conversations with real-life stakes, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves haunted history, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.
