Latest Episodes:

The Goodbye Ghosts Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

On this episode we finally crack into the script Brennan's been holding onto - the one where people share their stories of interactions with passed-on loved ones and pets. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hear about the time Paul was almost murdered by cows. Yes, you read that right.

Also on this episode: Brennan's haunted weekend, wigging out, and talking about bears to children

Dial G For Ghost Jul 13, 2021

Show notes

Remember when "Reach Out and Touch Somebody" was a hopeful slogan for telephones and not a terrible supernatural promise? The Ghost Story Guys remember. On this episode, however, we're leaning way into the latter, with tales of terror centered on or around phones. Also on this episode: Bren vs. words, and one of the best old-school GSG digressions we've had in a while.

Who Are the Plaid People? Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

They can appear as a fever dream, a hallucination, or even solid physical forms moving through your home, but who the hell are the Plaid People, and why do their eyes shine? On this episode we don't get any closer to an answer, but a listener story gives us a few more questions to chew on. We also examine stories of high strangeness in the desert, monsters at the door, and so much more. Also on this episode: when springing to the rescue goes bad, and Paul vs. Words makes a triumphant return

The Gnome Watcher Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

The person you love most in the world leaves the room via one door and inexplicably re-enters through another. Their expression is now completely blank, but they're still coming towards you - do you trust them, or do you run? On this episode, one of our listeners tells us how it went for them.

Also on this show: Paul lets slip a little of his haunted past, Bren lives through the less inspiring parts of "Citizen Kane", and a shadow person decides to take on a new form that's somehow worse than ever.

Under the Bridge Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

Throughout folklore bridges have been regarded as places of mystery - they've harbored trolls, trapped vampires, and even gotten Clint Eastwood laid. On this episode we're joined by guest storyteller and artist Mister Sam Shearon to explore some strange happenings around bridges, where the only thing more frightening than the dark are what it's hiding.

Also on this episode: to live and cry in arm wrestling, nerding out over body horror, and the shotgun under the sofa

Secrets of the Ghostlight May 18, 2021

Show notes

Every theater has a ghostlight, but not every theater has a ghost - the Starry Night Theater, in Tonawanda, New York, also known as the Ghostlight Theater, has both, and on this episode, guest storyteller Amanda Woomer joins Brennan and Paul to share some of those stories. Shadow people, time slips, and straight up haunting have all been experienced in the Ghostlight, and documented in Amanda's latest book, "Ghosts of the Ghostlight Theater."

Also on this episode: dancing with giraffes, what "Avengers: Endgame" and "Man on Fire" have in common (hint - they make certain co-hosts cry), and a new shadow encounter in Brennan's apartment

Get your signed copy of "Ghosts of the Ghostlight Theater" in Amanda's Etsy shop

Our musical guests on this episode are The Revenants, with their track "Cracked Wide Open". Find them on Bandcamp and YouTube.

The Secret Life of Ghosts Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

The one thing we know for sure about the subtle world is that we don't know much at all, and on this episode we share stories which make that lack of knowledge seem a hell of a lot more scary. From Wisconsin to Guyana, from home invaders to the dead who wish only to be remembered, there's a lot to be said for the secret life of ghosts.

Also on this episode: Ninja Turtles in the bathroom, a werewolf at church, and Telly Savalas energy

The Devil in the Back Seat Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

Locked cars, locked homes - these are places we're supposed to feel safe but no one told that to the strange intruders we'll be talking about on this episode. From a flaming blue hoop that causes intense physical pain, to a section of road where a dark hitchhiker catches a ride regardless of whether or not you stop, this episode has some stories that'll make you want to double-check the locks. Also on this episode: Bren almost needs an allergy nap, Paul wrestles with Kiwi pronunciations, and the best way to deal with a midlife crisis

Show notes

You know how sometimes life sneaks up on you? Well, replace "life" with "doppelgängers" and you've got this episode because when we put together this grab bag of stories we were not expecting those devil's doubles to turn up, yet they did. Before the night is done we also make stops in the mountains of Italy, the rice fields of the Philippines, and a Bulgarian suburb.

Also on this episode: Paul's criminal past, Brennan recommends 2 very different Saturday morning activities, and a whole lot more
