Homespun Haints: True Ghost Stories
by Becky Kilimnik and Diana Doty
True ghost stories are scarier (and funnier) when you hear them from the real people who experienced them. We’re Becky and Diana, and we interview people who have seen ghosts--so you can feel their fear with them. Each episode features true, personal stories of ghosts, demons, haints, hauntings, haunted houses, and paranormal experiences, sprinkled with humorous conversations about the random strange events in our own haunted lives.

Is My New Office Haunted? AGAIN?
Have you ever had a job where you had to close up the building for the evening, all by yourself? Just walking alone into a dark, empty parking lot is enough to make many people uneasy, and for good reason. There’s no telling what could be lurking behind that tree, or that dumpster, or even behind your own car. What’s worse than suddenly realizing you’re not alone? How about suddenly realizing you haven’t been alone all evening? Or were you? Hear how our very own Becky just can’t seem to find an office that’s not haunted, today on Homespun Haints.What would Becky and Diana be like if we were brothers?

The Promise of a Testicle
T-maxxing, biohacking, gender-affirming care, blah, blah, blah! These modern buzzwords are just new terms for concepts that are as old as…at least a century old. This isn't the first time in American history that we’ve been obsessed with the medicalization of masculinity, and it probably won’t be the last. Ever since we first figured out that our bodily juices each spurt from specific body parts, and noticed that those body parts had homologues in other mammals, we’ve been harvesting their glands to gain their powers.Today's story is about the quick rise and fall of endocrinology's most macabre macho moment. Hypothetically, it could also be about how patriarchal classism cuts off its own nose to spite it's face...or, er, cuts off its...well, just listen to the story.

Homespun Haints Buried Alive with Tina Romero
This episode contains our exclusive interview with Tina Romero, daughter of the legendary filmmaker George Romero, discussing her film 'Queens of the Dead' at the Buried Alive Film Festival. Becky also interviews several independent filmmakers, who had only 13 days to produce each short horror film in the annual Sinema Challenge. Becky tells funny stories about being trapped on a tour with her mom, and the awkward joy of attending the rather bawdy film festival with her teen daughter. We promise not to give away any spoilers for 'Queens of the Dead'! Instead, Becky and Diana muse briefly on the evolution of queer/female representation in horror and other media genres. Then, we prospect for ideas should we decide to enter the Sinema Challenge in 2026, based on our favorite white card from Cards Against Humanity. You know the one.This episode (and a shorter video of just Becky chatting with Tina Romero) are both on Youtube.com/HomespunHaints.

Lake Lanier with Spirits Uncorked: Feed Swap
“This might hurt a little,” the lady in blue tells the four-year-old clinging to the roaring jet ski. Trees blur. The throttle won’t let go. What follows is a tragedy turned miracle, a fate that shouldn’t have been possible.Today's episode is actually a loaner from Spirits Uncorked, a podcast all about the very haunted Lake Lanier. Their guest, Alyse, takes us back to her childhood at War Hill Park on Lake Lanier, just north of the Highway 53 bridge long linked to the Lady in Blue. You've heard Homespun Haints talk about Lake Lanier and what lies beneath it, but this first-hand ghost story is what really convinced us the legend must be true. For more Lake Lanier ghost stories and history, subscribe to Spirits Uncorked at LanierGhostTours.com (or take a boat tour with them, if you dare). Wanna hear Becky tell Diana about the source of her Lake Lanier phobia in a wickedly ribald tone? Well, Hainted Loves, you know you have to go to Patreon.com/HomespunHaints to hear the filthy stuff.

A Good Roll in the Hay With a Ghost: Interview with Patti Negri
We sit down with psychic medium Patti Negri to explore Dollcraft, her new hands-on guide to inviting the right spirit, banishing the wrong one, and caring for doll vessels without wrecking your life. When a low-vibration hitchhiker shows up, she shares how to banish, reset, and re-establish boundaries—illustrated by the transformation of Patti's doll “Belle,” whose dark attachment gave way to a kind child spirit after a little dollcraft. The conversation moves beyond dolls into cleansing practices, and Patti issues a warning about over-using sage. We also seem to have finally found a perfect person to ask about spectrophilia, and with an open mind and great sense of humor, Patti talks about the pros and cons of having sex with ghosts. Our conversation offers cheeky (yet practical) tips and bold ideas about physical intimacy with a deceased loved one. In forecasting the rest of 2025, Patti invokes the dragon—an ancient, cross-cultural protector that “lives at the crossroads.” She explains how to create, feed, and task a dragon fetish to focus your will, protect your space, and attract opportunities.

A Divine Divorce: Interview with Attorney Jen Mitchell Love
What if face-planting onto a tile floor from three feet up turned out to be the most transformative moment of your life? For Jen Mitchell Love, a family law attorney with 19 years of experience, that's exactly what happened during what should have been a routine (albeit admittedly ill-advised) breathwork session in a steam room.Upon regaining consciousness with blood pooling around her, Jen received a visit from her ancestors, along with a clear message: "You have come here to do big things, and you need to do them!" What followed were five days of extraordinary experiences that completely transformed her perception of reality ("was that a glitch...in the sky?") and her life's purpose.After recognizing that the conventional divorce system destroys families rather than helping them heal, Jen transformed her legal practice into Solace Divorce Mediation. Now she guides couples through divorce as a soul journey, incorporating concepts of reflection, soul contracts, and inner healing into the legal process. Jen's story is ultimately about navigating life—do we externalize our problems, blaming others and circumstances, or do we look inward to discover the reflections that can lead to our evolution?

Peekaboo, Is That Doll Watching You? Interview With a Doll Historian Witch
Doll historian and witch Heather Green unpacks the mysterious world of haunted dolls, explaining how they function as portals for spirits rather than becoming possessed objects themselves. She draws on her extensive knowledge of doll history and the occult to help us distinguish between "inspirited" dolls that have absorbed energy over time, and "ensouled" dolls that serve as anchors for specific spirits.In this interview, Heather teaches us:• Dolls can be "inspirited" with energy from years of human interaction without being haunted• Most haunted dolls function as portals rather than possessed objects• Destroying a haunted doll can make the haunting worse• Tarot can be an effective tool for communicating with doll-attached spiritsHeather also hosts a weekly podcast called "The Witches Movie Coven," discussing films from a witch's perspective.

The Irish Death Knock: Exploring Banshee Lore with Steven J. Rolfes
Three knocks in the night. A wailing cry. A figure in white seen from the corner of your eye. Across cultures, these omens carry the same chilling message—someone will soon die.In this captivating exploration of supernatural death harbingers, folklorist and author Steven J. Rolfes takes us deep into the mysterious world of banshees and their counterparts across different cultures. With his book Beware the Banshee's Cry as our guide, Steven reveals the fascinating complexities behind these ethereal messengers.What exactly is a banshee? Steven presents three possibilities: the ghost of an ancestor with either loving or vindictive intentions, a fairy from the ancient Tuatha de Danann, or perhaps most intriguingly, a transformed Celtic goddess. The name itself—"bean sí" or "woman from the fairy mound"—connects these entities to pre-Christian Celtic traditions that have survived centuries of cultural evolution.From Lady Fanshawe's encounter with a floating red-haired apparition at an O'Brien castle in 1649 to a mysterious black cat haunting a Cincinnati hospital in 1879, these stories span continents and centuries, demonstrating how banshees follow Irish families wherever they travel. We also discover similar traditions worldwide, including Germany's White Lady (Weissefrau) and Mexico's weeping woman (La Llorona), showing how humans across cultures have personified death's approach.The folklore contains surprising elements—banshees' treasured combs that shouldn't be stolen, the protective power of iron against supernatural entities, and the specific families traditionally haunted by these harbingers. Stephen's storytelling brings these traditions to life with both scholarly insight and captivating narrative.Listen now to discover whether your heritage comes with its own supernatural warning system, and consider: if you heard three knocks at your door tonight, would you answer?What would Becky and Diana be like if we were brothers?

We Might Be Wishing On The Same Bright Star: Real Ghost Stories from a Professional Astrologer
What happens when an astrologer's meditation on birth charts opens unexpected doorways to the spirit realm? Susan Reynolds never planned to communicate with the dead—in fact, she was once so terrified of ghosts that she would leave the room if anyone mentioned them. Yet over her 40-year journey as an astrologer, the veil between worlds kept thinning until she could no longer ignore the messages coming through.Susan's remarkable story begins with a routine pre-reading meditation that unexpectedly revealed a client's past life as an Irish farmer's wife with seven children. Though hesitant to share what seemed like a "boring" vision, Susan watched in amazement as this revelation transformed her client's life, lifting the burden of guilt the woman had carried about choosing career over family. This pivotal moment taught Susan to trust the information coming through, regardless of how it might be received.The spiritual downloads didn't stop with past lives. During readings, deceased loved ones began appearing with urgent messages for her clients. "I'm not a medium," Susan insists, explaining that unlike professional mediums, she can't summon spirits at will—they simply show up. One particularly moving encounter involved a father who had passed just weeks earlier, desperately wanting his daughter to know he loved her one last time.For years, Susan maintained a double life—corporate professional by day, intuitive astrologer by nights and weekends—until her spirit guides abruptly announced it was time for her to pursue her calling full-time. This dramatic career shift allowed her unique approach to astrology to fully bloom, combining traditional chart analysis with spiritual insights that address the soul's journey across lifetimes.Whether you're a skeptic, a spiritual seeker, or somewhere in between, Susan's experiences offer a fascinating glimpse into what happens when analytical practice meets intuitive gifts. Her story reminds us that our greatest strengths often emerge from embracing the very things that once frightened us most.Ready to explore your own cosmic blueprint?

What If Your Soul Came From Another Planet? A true ghost story and alien encounter interview
What if your soul originated from somewhere beyond Earth? What if consciousness isn't limited to human experience? These are the questions artist and author Jordan Harcourt-Hughes has been exploring through her multifaceted creative practices. Jordan of New South Wales, Australia, practices several distinct arts, including writing, metal sculpture, painting, installations, and creative workshops. She started with writing as a child, but abandoned it at 19 when words felt inadequate to express deeper truths. Part of what inspired this artistic blossoming were extreme out-of-body experiences, which led her to believe she may be an extraterrestrial or "star seed." Since then, she uses her artwork to connect with other-dimensional energies and frequencies. Nowadays, Jordan has come full circle: revisiting writing to explore the cosmic themes in her life. Perhaps it's no surprise, then that her novels star a metalsmith who tunes metal to other-world frequencies. As of this writing, Jordan just published the second novel in the series, "High Country."Show notes at Homespunhaints.comCheck out Jordan's latest work or sign up for one of her mindful art courses at jordanharcourthughes.com.What would Becky and Diana be like if we were brothers?

ABOUT THIS SHOW
True ghost stories are scarier (and funnier) when you hear them from the real people who experienced them. We’re Becky and Diana, and we interview people who have seen ghosts--so you can feel their fear with them. Each episode features true, personal stories of ghosts, demons, haints, hauntings, haunted houses, and paranormal experiences, sprinkled with humorous conversations about the random strange events in our own haunted lives.

Becky Kilimnik and Diana Doty
