The Ghost With Two Backs Feb 19, 2019

Show notes

What's more romantic than two grown men spending Valentine's Day together reading each other stories about people having sex with ghosts? Pretty much anything, and that's why we scrapped that idea in favor of much better stories from our listeners. You still get to hear the outtakes though...

Also on this episode: the Gym Screamer, we need an adult, and why you should never ever housesit

Our musical guest on this episode is Artemesis

Cursed Items, or Why Marie Kondo Was Right Feb 05, 2019

Show notes

The Mythical Dream Episode Jan 22, 2019

Show notes

We are back from vacation and ready to tackle the great white whale that is our dream episode! Our listeners have submitted a huge range of stories about their nocturnal adventures, from predicting births in their family to saying goodbye to loved ones to parallel lives in Eastern Europe - as always, it gets weird.

Also on this episode: we find out what Ian has in common with Kindergarten Cop, Brennan watches 3000 movies, and the guys bond over threats of grievous bodily harm. It's touching, in a way.

There's a little bit of audio unpleasantness around the 16m mark. Our apologies - it was a technical glitch I wasn't able to resolve before release time.

Musical guest on this episode: Hexxagram

Crossing Over Jan 08, 2019

Show notes

We've all lost someone we care about and wondered whether or not we'll get to see them again. On this episode we don't have any answers for you, but we do have strange and unusual stories submitted by a hospice nurse who has spent 30 years helping patients and their families prepare to cross over.

Also on this episode: Ian is a celebrity, Brennan is oblivious in an elevator, and we say thanks for another great year.

This episode was recorded before Christmas so we could take some time off in January, but we will be back on January 22nd with our 50th episode.

A Very Lovecraft Christmas Dec 23, 2018

Show notes

Whether you call it Christmas, Yule, Wintermas, or just another damn day, this used to be the season for scares; families would gather round the fire and run out the long, cold hours by telling one another spooky stories. On this episode we carry that tradition forward by reading you four short stories by none other than HP Lovecraft.

If you somehow don't know who that is, ask your nerdy friend or check out his bio here.

Stories: The Terrible Old Man Polaris The Thing in the Moonlight Nyarlethotep

Taxi to the Other Side Dec 11, 2018

Who Ya Gonna Call? First Responders vs. the Paranormal Nov 27, 2018

Show notes

On this episode there's something strange in the neighborhood and in the absence of Ghostbusters, police, paramedics, and firefighters are left to answer the call. From first person stories sent in by a Canadian paramedic whose remote station house has an uninvited guest and a British 999 dispatcher who has heard unexplainable things, to stories of the police facing down situations which literally haunted them, we are excited to finally share this episode with you.

Also on this episode: Ian sells himself, a botched funeral, and we announce the opening of our $20 Patreon tier, complete with Ghost Force magnet, art cards, & a copy of Ian's album.

Our musical guest on this episode is Moonrunner83 feat. Megan McDuffee

Sapper Kelly's Search For Water Nov 20, 2018

Show notes

On this bonus episode the guys share a little-known dowsing story about the ANZAC forces in WWI and manage to mostly avoid insulting Australia Mostly. Also on this episode: the magic of fried chicken, Ian's Kitchen Nightmares, and fighting off predatory animals in your underpants. While you're wearing them, to be clear. The animals are not in the underpants.
