The Haunting of Western Australia: That's Not a Ghost, THIS is a Ghost Mar 06, 2018

This episode we hop a fried-out Kombi and head out on the trail of hauntings in Western Australia. We look at phantom screams, ghostly kissing, and the spirit of Pinjarra Bridge, among other things.

Come for the ghosts, stay for Brennan's atrocious Australian accent and, in the outtakes, Ian's bizarre war against the Irish.

On this episode Ian's resolve is weakened by cold medication and so Brennan says a bunch of things he shouldn't while discussing the phony-baloney legends behind both the Winchester Mystery House and Amityville Horror.

Also on this episode: floating heads, indecipherable voices cutting into phone calls, and lots of burning bridges.

On this episode Brennan and Ian take on the subject of faerie lore and find out they're in way above their heads. Buckle up - this conversation goes all over the map, from Missing 411 to Skinwalkers to Lord of the Rings and, somewhere in there, you might learn a thing or two about faeries.

Also, Brennan gets his Scottish "accent" bleeped, Ian solves one of the great mysteries of our time, and there is outsourcing.

The Old Magic of Christmas Dec 23, 2017

Show notes

On this episode we're reclaiming Christmas in the name of all that is spooky. From a hot-off-the-presses story about a seemingly impossible occurrence in a hospital to a sharp-toothed Santa, to mysterious chimes and bells signaling from beyond, we have a little something for everyone . We're also high on sugar so there's a lot of bad language, a conversation about the nature of God that goes to a strange place, and possibly the longest outtakes sequence so far.

We're taking an episode off after this, but we'll be back on January 23rd for our one-year anniversary episode, which will be all listener stories and questions. If you have a story you want to share for that show, or a question for us, please send it to our email at ghoststoryguys@gmail.com.

America's Most Haunted Hotels Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

On this American road trip-themed episode, author Jamie Davis Whitmer takes us from lesser known hauntings in Bisbee, Arizona to her own personal encounter with the spirits of the Stanley Hotel and the Queen Mary. She also lets us in on the dark spiritual encounter that has, at least for now, caused her to step back from writing further books on the paranormal.

Elsewhere, Brennan returns from Minnesota with stories of haunting both there and at home, Ian REALLY likes Red Lobster, and there's a ton of listener mail.

There's also a LOT of food talk.

You can find more about Jamie Davis Whitmer at her blog, "Jamie Davis Writes".

Buy a copy of "America's Most Haunted Hotels" from Amazon or Llewellyn Books.

During the recording of the LA episode we picked up a strange noise on one of the mics and we've decided to release that to you, our listeners, to see what you think and get your feedback. You'll find that clip near the end.

Our first anniversary episode is coming up next month and it's going to be another collection of listener stories so if you've got a tale to tell, send us a message at ghoststoryguys@gmail.com or via the Facebook page.

Intro: "Radio" by Podzontommusic

When the Other Side is On Your Side Nov 28, 2017

Show notes

On this episode we tackle a very special piece of listener mail that takes us from the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado to one of the darkest places a person can go. Parts of the episode are not easy but ultimately this is a story about a family coming together under terrible circumstances. You know how sitcoms in the 80s used to have "very special episodes" where they talked about tough topics? Consider this A Very Special Ghost Story Guys.

Also, Brennan complains about parking lots, Ian still hasn't brought any bread into the studio, and we make sure neither of us will ever be invited on "Ghost Adventures".

Thank you so much to Lisa and her family for sharing their story with us. Your strength is an inspiration to us.

We also uncover a series of hauntings in sites belonging to the US Job Corps, Brennan gushes about the ArcLight Cinema and refuses to edit it out, and in the outtakes Ian tells Brennan EXACTLY what he thinks of his "twenty dollar words".

If you've had a paranormal experience in Los Angeles, New York, or really anywhere, we would love to hear from you. Send us an email at ghoststoryguys@gmail.com, or contact us via the Facebook page.
