Show notes
Do you Believe in Seances?
Do you believe in seances? Pat and Rebecca are celebrating October with a month of spooky episodes on seances and talking to the dead. This first episode is an interview with an internationally renowned medium, Mahala D. Bacon, Th. D. Speaking with Rebecca, Mahala answers questions about all aspects of seances and readings. What do you think happens at a séance?
Questions Explored in this Episode
What is a séance? How long have people been curious about seances and mediums? Why are we so interested? What are some tools are used in seances? What is a medium? Who can be a medium? What is it like to be a medium? When we go to a séance, what should we expect? What are the similarities and differences between fortune-telling and talking to the dead? Are seances real?
This week’s listener mail challenges us to think about trauma and how it might connect to the paranormal. Have a spooky story or question of your own (or someone you know)? Send your story or question to info@ghostlypodcast.com or leave a voicemail at 630-448-2138 and we might read or share it on the podcast. You could be on a future episode of Ghostly!
Pat covers some of the key highlights of the history of seances and mediums, those who claim to talk to the dead.
The Debate
Rebecca and Pat share their initial thoughts on seances and mediums. Pat shares his own personal story of visiting a medium, but did he believe what he was told? They want to know what you think now and then we’ll check back in at the end of the month.

Is the Legend of Bloody Mary Real?
Is the legend of Bloody Mary real? Pat and Rebecca explore the legend of Bloody Mary.

Many people claim to have seen this figure. Is it true?
Questions Explored in this Episode
What is the legend of Bloody Mary? How many times are you supposed to say her name? What are you supposed to say while spinning around? Are you supposed to spin around? How long has this legend existed? Is it related to divination? What do people claim to see in the mirror? Who often does this ritual? Who is Bloody Mary? Is she real?

Listen to a special ghost story in this episode. Previous guest Cheryl (Ouija Board episode) is back to share her personal story with Bloody Mary. Her story starts like many Bloody Mary tales with pre-teen girls, a birthday party, and a bathroom mirror. What makes this one scarier is what happened after the party.
History of Bloody Mary
Pat tells the history of the legend of Bloody Mary. This word of mouth ritual has a tangled background. There are three common candidates for who the Mary is that comes to the mirror. Mary Tudor, Countess Elizabeth Bathory of Hungary, and Mary Worth. The ritual is based on the ancient technique of scrying and water divination combined with hypnotic chanting.
Rebecca has chosen three stories people have shared online of what happened when they called for Bloody Mary. Also, listen to the special audio of Pat and Rebecca calling for her themselves. What happens? And will any of these convince Pat?

Is Dublin Haunted?
Is Dublin haunted? Pat and Rebecca visit the city of Dublin in this week’s episode to explore its history and some of its most famous haunted locations. This historic city has a long history with many rebellions, but does that history affect its oldest buildings? Are they haunted? This episode visits the Brazen Head pub, the Collins Barracks, and the Kilmainham Goal.
When was Dublin founded? Who were its first inhabitants? Who were its rulers? What happened during the different bids for independence? What famous people have frequented the Brazen Head pub and who still haunts it? Is the Collins Barracks still filled with ghostly soldiers? What is the history of Kilmainham Goal, and why do some claim it is haunted by executed prisoners? Based on the history and the claims of ghosts throughout the important landmarks of the city, can we say that Dublin is haunted?

History of Dublin
Pat tells the history of Dublin. From the Vikings’ arrival in 841 to the cutting-edge tech revolution of today, Dublin is a complex city that has grown while overcoming many hardships, including take-overs, famines, and revolutions.
Rebecca discusses three of the most haunted locations in Dublin as evidence of how haunted it is, but does Pat agree? The Brazen Head Pub is the oldest pub in Dublin and has been site of revolutions. They say Robert Emmett haunts this place. Collins Barracks was the longest continuously running army barracks before it became a museum. Visitors and passers-by claim to see ghostly soldiers and hear screams. Lastly, Kilmainham Goal operated with horrid conditions and conducted many executions over the years before becoming a museum. Its restoration brought several stories of ghosts that continue to this day. What does Pat and Team Skeptic think of these stories?
