Ghost stories are easy to binge. Living with the subject matter for decades is something else entirely. We sit down with Steve Gonsalves from Ghost Hunters to talk about what paranormal investigation looks like when the cameras are off: the sleepless nights, the intrusive memories, and the emotional weight that can hit you days later when a case finally sinks in.

We also get nerdy about the parts of the field that are changing fast. Steve shares how conversations with physicists and geophysicists have shaped his...

Some ghost stories are fun until you stand on the ground where they started. We talk with Ed Bolden-Greer, an Appalachian storyteller, horror writer, and festival creator, about why the Bell Witch still feels “different” to people who’ve been to the land and why that feeling matters more than arguing over perfect facts.

We trace Ed’s path from the ministry to healthcare to running a massage school, then hit the burnout wall that so many people recognize from the shutdown years. Horror becomes more than a g...

She calls herself “the creepy girl with the dolls” online, but Kelsi Davies is far more than a viral paranormal creator. We sit down and trace the story from the beginning: a childhood filled with funerals, vivid dreams, and the unsettling feeling of knowing the dead were still present while everyone else insisted they were gone. That confusion turns into a mission as she builds a community for people who’ve had psychic, mediumship, or clairvoyant experiences and never knew who to tell.

We also tackle a perennial question in cryptozoology: if Bigfoot is real, why don’t trail ca...
