Least Haunted

At long last we're going to start talking about Spirtualism! Just in time for Women's History Month! Hear how two young sisters in a haunted house sparked a religious movement that had far reaching repercusions. From a farmhouse in upstate new york, to shaping world events and politics, spiritualism is a big topic. And it all starts with The Fox Sisters...

This time Cody does a bit of recycling, and tells Garth about the ghosts of Abraham Lincoln. But how many hauntings can one ex president have? A score? Four score?! How many is a score anyway?  We don't answer that. But we do go for a train ride! Trains are fun. Right?

What's that sound? Can it be the gentle pop of tenticular suckers in the forest? But how could that be? This time we explore the world of The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus! Along the way we find out how an 85 year old engineering disaster meant to solve a problem caused by the last ice age lead to a key moment in early internet culture, and what that says about our current world today.

It is our sesquicentennial episode! And in deference to the state of things in Minnesota, we will be talking about yet another giant of American folklore, Paul Bunyan. Who is he? Where does he come from? What does he want? Some of those questions may be answered! Along the way you might learn more than you ever thought you wanted to know about international trade politics of the 1500's. However by the end you will be left with a new question: How tall do you want your Paul?

Only a week in and it looks like we are in for a hell of a rocky year ahead. We need a figure of inspiration to guide us. To exemplify the energy we'll all need to get through this together. If only there was someone, something... nay! Some creature that could be our spirit cryptid for the year?
Well that's what we're going to be looking for in this episode, with a little hep from our Monster Squaddies, It's a new Least Haunted tradition! Cryptid For The Year!

Christmas is a time for family, friends, food, and good will towards your fellow persons. That is, unless you live in a world where every day is Christmas... For if you live in The Crepuscular Quadrant it is a time for fear, paranoia, and suspicion. A time where every action you make will help decide if you are Naughty or Nice. Who will get presents? And who gets C.O.A.L.?

It's the holiday season! Time for incomprehensible traditions and seasonal fads. The sort of annual things that make one say, "How the hell did that get started?" and "What in the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Well today we are going to talk about just such a tradition. Mired in the mysterious mists of time, folklore, and possibly alcohol. Do you hear the jingle of bells? Do you hear a rhyming verse outside your house? Are you in Wales? If so, it might not just your  average carolers... It might just be Mari Llwyd.

This time Cody and Garth take a crack at setting the story straight in regards to a fairly controversial topic. This'll be a divisive one involving: a ghost, murder, cults, conspiracies, legal precedence, strange technologies, lawsuits, severe bodily injury, a whole lot of money, and just maybe some "medicine". 
So have a good stretch, get comfortable, and buckle up! This is a wild ride.

Cody and Garth went to Dr. Tim King's cabin in the woods so that he could tell them all about the nefarious shenanigans and crimes of the C.I.A. and how American tax payer money contributed to the development of the 1960's counter culture, extreme human rights violations, and perverts looking through a two way mirror! No need for the tin foil, because this conspiracy is 100% true and confirmed, albeit slightly REDACTED.

It's Halloween! And that means it is time once again for The Least Haunted Digital Theater to open its audio doors! When Cody and Garth receive a mysterious invitation in their P.O. Box, little can they suspect the perfectly normal average boring night that awaits them...

So join them won't you? For a night in The House on Normal Hill!

This time we are joined by writer, researcher, and paranormal expert Sharon A. Hill to discuss her book, Scientifical Americans, in which she researched and documented the phenomenon of Amateur Reasearch Investigation Groups (ARIGs) or as you might know them, Ghost Hunters! It is a fun and insightful conversation into the world of the "Scientifical" and paranormal sub culture/community. And along the way Cody and Garth get some advice about their own planned ghost hunting expedition.

You know this story. Even if you don't think you do, you do. It's totally true and it happened to a friend of a friend of mine... This time Cody and Garth talk about one of the most widespread "urban myths" in history, The Vanishing Hitchhiker! From the roads of ancient Rome, to the highways of The United States, to the tv screen, and everywhere in between- Why is it so hard for a ghost to catch a ride?

Mary. There's just something about Mary... Celeste.

There is an old joke, "What is Beethoven up to these days?" Answer, "Decomposing." Haha very funny. Everybody laughs. But what if I told you that in the 1960's famous dead musicians of the past got tired of decomposing and decided to start re-composing? With the help of a mild mannered British single mother and lunch lady, a full Liszt of the greats were ready to take the stage once more and start their encore.

And how is the Hodag? All good questions, and all with somewhat "satisfactory" answers. So grab your dynamite, hide your all white bulldogs, and make sure to be kind to any old oxen you might encounter. It's Hodag Hoedown time!

Happy Pride! To celebrate we are going to discuss the magical and fabulous life of James Randi. One of the greatest magicians of the twentieth century, and a skeptical investigator without equal. From precocious beginnings in Canada, to the television screen, he battled misinformation and scammer "hoo-ha peddlers". And along the way he will test the boundaries of what it takes to bring honesty to a world of lies.  
So grab a few spoons, some strong rope, and your skepticals. Things are about to become AMAZING!

Only this time we will be reviewing the 2023 film, Nandor Fodor and The Talking Mongoose, starring Simon Pegg, Minnie Driver, Christopher Lloyd, and...

This is the story of what happens when no one gets satire or allegory. When generations of people fail to get the point and instead go searching for a metaphor. A cautionary tale about how fan fiction can potentially lead to genocide and aliens... A slippery slope that leads right into the very depths of the human imagination, and possibly to the bottom of the ocean itself. This is Atlantis!
