    I really enjoy this show. It is entertaining and informative.

    As of 11/02/2023 I have listened to all the episodes.

    I hope Allen continues to issue new ones but at this point I am not sure that is going to happen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Southern Ghost Stories Q&A Mailbag
Q: What got you started in the paranormal?
I grew up in Middle Tennessee where Civil War era stories and local hauntings were part of daily life, inspired by family tales, old newspapers, and trips to historic sites which sparked my lifelong interest in ghost stories and field investigations.
Listener Questions and Why I Don't Do Ghost Hunting TV
Q: Brenda Stanfield asked if animals can sense ghost or if there are animal spirits.
Animals are often described as highly sensitive to energies or presences, with many listeners and researchers reporting dog or cat behaviors that seem like sensing something unseen, which aligns with the host's view that children and animals may be more receptive to spirits.
Listener Questions and Why I Don't Do Ghost Hunting TV
Q: Alice Barr asked what's the creepiest place I've been in.
The creepiest places are usually the ones with a combination of history, atmosphere, and a sense of being watched, such as the underground tunnels in Murfreesboro and the Waverly Hills Sanitarium, where darkness, mustiness, and stories of past suffering collide to create a palpable eeriness.
The Governor, the Gravedigger, and the Grudge
Q: What is your earliest experience with the paranormal?
Allen Sircy shared a story about his uncle's haunted house where strange occurrences, including a talking pinball machine and sightings of a Native American woman, took place.
