  • You Ladies Are Super!

    Love the podcast. Working my way through the years. I don't care that in the 2015's you are still finding your way with the podcast development. Ignore the haters. Keep up the good work. Feel free to look into the west Tennessee (ie Memphis)or St. Louis area ghosts. We have a lot of ghosts that you haven't broadcast on yet.
