The City by the Lake, and Other Places to Die Oct 06, 2017

Show notes

On this episode Brennan recounts the story of his visit to the abandoned tuberculosis hospital town of Tranquille and we do a dive into other famous haunted sanitariums. This episode is dropping two days late so it's almost double the usual duration as our way of thanking everyone for their patience. Also, we had a lot to say.

Also in this episode, Ian makes a bizarre and uncomfortable confession, Brennan forgets to finish a story (he will finish it on the next episode, promise), we have a ton of listener mail, and somewhere, somehow, the phrase "old horny robot" is uttered. Apologies in advance.

If you want to check out Brennan's pictures from Tranquille you can find them here

Listen to the North Ohio Paranormal Scientific Society's EVP from the Lima Sanitarium here.

On Friday, October 6 Brennan will be live on UPRN Talk Radio from 7:30pm to 8:30pm Pacific time. You can find the stream here: http://www.uprntalkradio.com/

The Men Who Are Not There Sep 06, 2017

Show notes

On this episode we throw out the rundown and talk about a phenomenon neither of us had really heard of before - men in coveralls who appear both on the borders of sleep and in the middle of the day. This one is quite literally hot off the presses, having come from an interview Brennan conducted recently, so it's a short episode but there are a LOT of outtakes.

And there is singing in those outtakes. Oh yes there is singing.

If you have seen the men in coveralls we would very much like to hear from you. Please contact us at ghoststoryguys@gmail.com or on Facebook.com/GhostStoryGuys.

Spirits of the Cage, with Richard Estep Aug 22, 2017

Ever wonder what it's like to investigate a haunted medieval prison for witches? Wonder no more! On this episode we interview Richard Estep, co-author (with Vanessa Mitchell) of the upcoming book, "Spirits of the Cage: True Accounts of Living in a Haunted Medieval Prison". From "The Growler" to demons to shadow men, we get the true story of a house so haunted the owner refuses to live there.

If you to learn more about the book, or Richard Estep, you can find him on his website, Facebook, and Twitter.

Also on this episode: Ian tries to Missing 411 himself, a frank discussion about how much forest fires suck (spoiler alert - it's a lot), and most of what Brennan says gets cut out of necessity.

Did you ever want to know the true story behind the movie "Annabelle: Creation"?

A Strange Little Place, with Brennan Storr Jul 10, 2017

Show notes

Have you ever heard of the haunted town of Revelstoke? It's a strange little place tucked away in western Canada, and it has a paranormal history stretching back almost 100 years, including everything from ghosts, to UFOs, to gremlins and sasquatch. Think of it as a Canadian Skinwalker Ranch, but with exceptional coffee and baked goods. Revelstoke is also the home of our very own Brennan Storr, who wrote his book on the subject: "A Strange Little Place: The Hauntings and Unexplained Events of One Small Town".

On this episode Brennan tells us about all that haunted history and we try to understand a paranormal experience he had on his most recent visit home.

The River Was Our Boogeyman Jun 05, 2017

Show notes

Brennan's back from the road (and the flu, which is why this episode is coming a week late) with a selection of stories including things in the dark, possible screen memories, and a man who may have survived the Missing 411 phenomenon.

Along the way, Ian chimes in with his own ghost story and tells his biggest secret. Ok, second biggest.
