  • Classic paranormal podcast to love

    Had to stop listening for a while after the loss of Jerry but I know that is the last thing in the world he would have wanted. He would still be making episodes from heaven if he could but so happy his angel on earth Tracy is keeping it going. And thankful to have had the chance to see a live show in Detroit of all places.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2037 Smurl Family
Q: What inspired the authors to write a book about imaginary friends that are not actually imaginary?
They drew from personal experiences as parents and collaborate to craft a story that blends familiar family dynamics with paranormal elements, creating twists and exploring how imaginary experiences can reveal deeper fears and mysteries.
2029: Whisper Estate
Q: What is Chris Webber's core criterion for deeming paranormal claims credible?
He insists on demonstrable, verifiable evidence that cannot be easily explained by hoaxes or natural phenomena, and stresses that any claimed haunt must be reproducible and validated through skeptical, methodical investigation.
2029: Whisper Estate
Q: From Kitsy's perspective, what makes Whisper Estate investigations compelling beyond the standard ghost-hunting narrative?
Kitsy emphasizes personality, relatable storytelling, and a willingness to explore lesser-known angles and backstories of haunted locations, which she believes provides a more engaging and nuanced picture than conventional footage alone.
WW: QA with Special Guests
Q: Indica or Sativa? Do you prefer to smoke or do edibles?
The guest answers that they like both and that it depends on the day; Indica at night, Sativa during the day.
Ep 2028_ Houska Castle & Adam Berry
Q: How does your theater background influence your approach to investigating and communicating with homeowners or spirits?
He uses period-appropriate speech and personas to immerse with the spirit world and to put people at ease, arguing that this empathy and engagement helps obtain meaningful responses from both the living and the deceased.
