Ghost City: The Podcast

Let us know who you want to hear next!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 genre, it becomes a creative outlet and a way back to himself. We get into why humans are natural storytellers, how technology can flatten real connection, and why live storytelling brings energy you can’t fake through a screen.From there we head straight into Appalachian folklore and cryptids: the warnings you grow up hearing, the reason “don’t whistle in the woods” keeps getting passed down, and how creatures like the Wood Booger sit in the same cultural neighborhood as Bigfoot. We also dig into paranormal investigation as a tool for wrestling with faith, experience, and the question of what it means when a place doesn’t feel empty.Ed also breaks down his two podcasts, Ravens Vail (scripted, sound-designed, ongoing horror universe) and Cracked Cauldron (unscripted, talk-heavy, and not for the censor-happy), plus what people can expect at HorrorFest in Knoxville with vendors, panels, music, and storytelling shows.If you like Appalachian folklore, paranormal podcasts, ghost stories, and the real human reasons we gather around scary tales, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who loves the weird, and leave us a review.

Let us know who you want to hear next!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 go deep on haunted dolls, especially Lola, the doll Kelsi says carries an intelligent presence that responds through spirit boxes, REM pods, and other ghost hunting tools. Kelsi shares how she thinks “hauntings” work, from residual energy to spirits choosing objects as a kind of vessel, and why she believes consciousness can fragment rather than simply disappear. If you’ve ever wondered how a paranormal investigator separates vibe, imagination, and evidence, this conversation stays honest about uncertainty while still pushing for validation. Then the episode widens into bigger questions: why skepticism can be healthy, why intuition seems to show up more often in women, and what it’s like to investigate some of the most haunted locations in the US. We also talk about vivid nightmares, sleep paralysis, and the idea of involuntary astral projection, plus Kelsi's plant medicine experiences that reshaped her view of reality and purpose. Along the way, we connect the paranormal to consciousness, spirituality, and the modern pull of technology that leaves many people craving something deeper. If you’re into paranormal investigation, haunted dolls, clairvoyance, spirit communication, and the search for what’s beneath the surface of ghost stories, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who’ll argue with you about it, and leave a review with your best theory on what ghosts really are.*******Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube page!*******Visit our website to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

Let us know who you want to hear next!Welcome to the Ghost City Gauntlet our “Boonus” rapid-fire segment where we put our guests on the spot with several paranormal questions and let their gut reactions take over.This week, Chris & Jenn Talley with the New Orleans Paranormal Society steps into the gauntlet to share what fascinates them, what genuinely scares them, and what they hope waits on the other side.From haunted locations to cryptids, aliens to the afterlife… nothing is off limits.If you enjoyed this Boonus content, make sure to check out the full episode of the Ghost City Podcast featuring Chris & Jenn Talley on our Ghost City Tours YouTube channel and wherever you get your podcasts.*******Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube page!*******Visit our website to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

Let us know who you want to hear next!Most paranormal talk stops at scary stories. We wanted something more useful, so we brought on Chris and Jenn Talley from the New Orleans Paranormal Society to get specific about what actually works when you’re doing real paranormal investigation in New Orleans and what can go wrong when people copy TV tactics. We get into accuracy and ethics in haunted history, why the ghost tour industry still spreads myths, and how respect for the dead can change the results you get with tools like spirit boxes, EMF meters, SLS cameras, FLIR, and thermal cameras. Chris and Jenn share how repeat visits build a relationship with a location, why music can be a powerful trigger for interaction, and what they call the Vlad method for testing responses. We also talk about the Andrew Jackson Hotel, childlike activity, and a long-term case involving “Paul,” including what a crossing attempt can look like when you take the human story seriously. Along the way we challenge the “everything is a demon” narrative, discuss attachments, cleansing after investigations, and the difference between negative energy and fear-driven storytelling. Then we zoom out into the big question: what are ghosts, really? Tim lays out a consciousness theory that treats consciousness as a field in the universe that brains receive rather than create, and we explore how that idea could connect to paranormal phenomena. All of it ties into why they’re building New Orleans Paracon (July 31 to August 2 at the Crowne Plaza): an education-first paranormal convention with panels, workshops, vendors, and nightly investigations in the French Quarter.

Let us know who you want to hear next!Welcome to the Ghost City Gauntlet, our “Boonus” rapid-fire segment where we put our guests on the spot with 10 paranormal questions and let their gut reactions take over.This week, Troy Taylor with American Hauntings Ink steps into the gauntlet to share what fascinates them, what genuinely scares them, and what they hope waits on the other side.From haunted locations to cryptids, aliens to the afterlife… nothing is off limits.If you enjoyed this Boonus content, make sure to check out the full episode of the Ghost City Podcast featuring Troy Taylor on our Ghost City Tours YouTube channel and wherever you get your podcasts*******Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube page!*******Visit our website to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

Let us know who you want to hear next!Ghost stories are easy to sell. The truth is harder, and way more interesting. We’re joined by Troy Taylor, prolific author of nearly 160 books and the force behind American Hauntings, to talk about what happens when you stop chasing viral legends and start chasing sources. We get into why history is the only solid foundation for haunted locations, how bad ghost tour folklore spreads like a telephone game, and why cities like New Orleans can end up preserving the loudest story instead of the documented one. Along the way, we unpack what the records actually suggest about figures like Delphine LaLaurie and Marie Laveau, and why “tourist-friendly” doesn’t have to mean “made up.” From Alton, Illinois and its Underground Railroad sites to prisons, epidemics, and river-town tragedies, Troy explains how real events create the conditions for hauntings without inventing demons on demand. We also talk paranormal investigation: why “using science to prove ghosts” misunderstands what science is, why TV ghost hunting pushed gadgets over context, and why history-backed patterns across multiple witnesses can be more compelling than any blinking device. We wrap with Troy’s American Oddities Museum, collecting artifacts that keep stories from being lost, plus a detour into Bigfoot without the UFO baggage and how AI makes future “evidence” harder to trust. If you care about haunted history, ghost tours, true crime, and responsible paranormal storytelling, this conversation is your roadmap. Subscribe, share the show with a fellow history nerd, and leave a review if you want more guests like Troy.

In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, Elizabeth Saint of Ghosts of Shepherdstown, Death Walker, and Paranormal Lockdown shares how nightmares, sleepwalking, and the constant feeling that someone was in the room shaped her early life. Later, multiple psychics independently described the same presence tied to her childhood bedroom, giving unexpected validation to experiences she had spent years trying to make sense of. Elizabeth explains how finding the right paranormal community and embracing data-driven investigation helped her stay grounded while exploring the unknown.We also go behind the scenes of paranormal television, from the reality of filming a town-wide case in Shepherdstown, West Virginia to the way editing can shape what viewers think they saw.

Let us know who you want to hear next!A mine collapse, a vision of a dead Pope, and a pop song about cannibalism might sound like folklore, but the Sheppton Mine Disaster left behind stories that still challenge easy explanations. In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, paranormal researcher and author Maxim W. Furek joins us to examine why the Sheppton case continues to fascinate investigators and historians alike. We explore the strange testimony surrounding the rescue, the patterns that appear again and again in near-death experiences, and why shared witness accounts make simple debunking more complicated than it first appears.From there we dive into Pennsylvania’s long history of high strangeness, including Bigfoot sightings along Chestnut Ridge, the ongoing debate between biological and interdimensional theories, and the persistent mystery surrounding the Kecksburg UFO incident. Maxim also breaks down one of the state’s most controversial hauntings, the Smurl case in West Pittston, tied to Ed and Lorraine Warren and later transformed by Hollywood.

Let us know who you want to hear next!A woman in white standing over a crib. Handprints forming beneath glass. A skeptic husband watching his chair spin while he barely looks up. In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, investigator Angela Kaatz, founder of the all-female team Ghost Hunting Beauties, shares how a lifetime of strange encounters pushed her toward paranormal investigation rather than away from it. Angela explains how her team blends cinematic storytelling with careful fieldwork, focusing on heavy historical research, on-site debunking with property owners, and investigative tools like the Estes Method to reduce suggestion and capture clearer responses.We also talk openly about the challenges women face in the male-dominated world of paranormal media and how Angela is helping shift that narrative through leadership and transparency. From shadow figures spotted by a watchful dog to investigations across haunted cities like New Orleans and San Antonio, Angela discusses the cultural layers, languages, and spiritual traditions that shape each location. She also shares the personal realities of mediumship, the boundaries required to stay grounded, and the ongoing debate around haunted objects and credible evidence in an era of AI manipulation.

Let us know who you want to hear next!Are the Bible’s monsters literal creatures or warnings about power, fear, and corruption? In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, Pastor Seth Pierce joins us to unpack how Scripture, church history, and modern media shape the way we think about demons, ghosts, and the unknown. From apocalyptic literature in Revelation to long-standing myths that blurred folklore and doctrine, Seth reframes “apocalypse” as unveiling rather than destruction and challenges the idea that every beast in the text was meant to be taken at face value. Along the way, we explore how religious storytelling has influenced politics, prejudice, and cultural fear.We also ask a question at the heart of paranormal belief: what does the Bible actually say about ghosts? Seth walks through major Christian interpretations of the afterlife, from the immortal-soul view to the “soul sleep” perspective, and contrasts them with modern spiritualism and horror-driven expectations shaped by films like The Exorcist and The Conjuring. From satanic panic to the psychology of fear, we examine why scary stories hold power and how they are often used to control narratives. If you are curious about demons, hauntings, and the intersection of faith and folklore, this conversation offers thoughtful nuance without dismissing wonder.*******Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube page!*******Visit our website to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

Let us know who you want to hear next!A scratch appears through two untouched shirts. A prison hallway delivers a crystal-clear insult. A toddler points to an empty corner and calmly says, “ghost.” In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, investigator and creator Katrina Weidman joins us for a candid look at modern paranormal research: where skepticism and curiosity sit side by side. From a haunted childhood to leading a school investigation club and becoming an early face of paranormal television, Katrina shares how the industry evolved, and how the pressure for bigger reactions can sometimes overshadow honest investigation.We dive into the ethics of ghost hunting, staged evidence, and the responsibility investigators carry when grief, history, and belief intersect. Katrina discusses her series Voices from the Grave, along with her YouTube projects Travel the Dead and After the Dead, all focused on transparent fieldwork and haunted history rather than theatrics. Along the way, we explore EMF theories, environmental psychology, archival research, and why the most compelling evidence often comes from patient documentation: not viral clips.

From a tense overnight at the Sally House that left his girlfriend with a lingering four-finger bruise to a striking cross-floor “number 3” sync, Chandler shares of his experiences from his young ghost hunting career.We also tackle a growing challenge in modern ghost hunting: how to share credible evidence in an era of AI fakes and viral hoaxes. Drawing from his background in illusion, Chandler exposes the classic ways paranormal clips get manipulated, from hidden strings to audio stitching, while pushing for higher standards and cleaner methods. Along the way, we explore music as an investigative trigger, the psychology of expectation, and why respecting your audience matters as much as respecting the dead. Whether you’re a content creator, a skeptic, or a believer, this conversation offers a transparent look at paranormal research built on curiosity, control, and creative thinking.*******Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube page!*******Visit our website to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

Let us know who you want to hear next!When Nick and Tessa Groff walk into a room, the line between intuition and evidence gets razor thin. In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, we explore how a veteran paranormal investigator and a lifelong medium built a partnership where technology and testimony collide in real time. From Nick’s early fascination with Area 51 and filmmaking to Tessa’s near-death experience and psychic abilities she once tried to suppress, their paths converge on a shared philosophy: treat every spirit like a person first. The result is ghost hunting that blends EVP sessions, controlled experimentation, and intuitive insight: cross-checked, replayable, and rooted in respect.We dig into cases that still echo, including an EVP declaring “Mark is dead” inside a historic theater and a deeply personal reading delivered to a mayor about his late father’s reclaimed accent. The conversation moves beyond spectacle into bigger questions about energy, consciousness, boundaries, and why vulnerability can invite contact. Nick and Tessa also preview their upcoming documentary, The Devil’s Mark, which follows a trauma-aware investigation into attachment and possession without leaning on religious tropes. If you’re interested in paranormal investigation that balances heart, skepticism, and evidence, this episode offers a rare look at what happens when experience, empathy, and equipment all point to the same moment.*******Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube page!*******Visit our website to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

Let us know who you want to hear next!In Part 2 of our conversation with Cliff Barackman, curator of the North American Bigfoot Center, we go deeper into what footprints and trackways can actually reveal about Sasquatch behavior. Drawing from decades of field research, Cliff explains why Bigfoot likely doesn’t form human-like “societies,” but instead shows social patterns consistent with known great apes—overlapping home ranges, recurring size classes traveling together, and large males moving along territorial edges. We also tackle a perennial question in cryptozoology: if Bigfoot is real, why don’t trail cameras solve the mystery? The answer lies in ecology and engineering, from limited camera fields of view to high-frequency sounds that wildlife may detect long before a photo is taken.From there, we dismantle the Bigfoot migration myth by looking at long-term data—repeated tracks from the same individuals across multiple seasons, pointing to stable home ranges rather than continent-spanning movement. Cliff shares practical field strategies that actually work, including targeting corridors near water, understanding seasonal substrates, and methodically expanding search areas over time. We also explore how focused funding and university-linked research could move Bigfoot studies forward, the origins of the North American Bigfoot Center, and why cutting through hoaxes matters more than ever. If you care about reproducible evidence, smart fieldwork, and pushing the conversation beyond noise, this episode delivers.*******Check out “Bigfoot & Beyond with Cliff & Bobo" wherever you get podcasts!*******Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube page!*******Visit our website to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

Let us know who you want to hear next!In Part 1 of this two-part episode of the Ghost City Podcast, Tim Nealon sits down with Cliff Barackman, curator of the North American Bigfoot Center, to approach Sasquatch the way scientists approach any undiscovered species, through evidence, patterns, and repeatable data. Cliff explains why footprints matter more than fleeting sightings and how detailed trackway analysis can reveal behavior like foraging habits, seasonal movement, social grouping, and territory. The long-term patterns he’s documenting, recurring track sizes, repeated visits to the same micro-sites, and consistent seasonal windows, challenge popular Bigfoot migration myths and point instead toward stable home-range behavior.The conversation moves from the forest floor to the lab, where an interdisciplinary team at North Carolina State University is testing environmental DNA (eDNA) from soil collected inside and outside suspected footprints. While early results don’t “prove Bigfoot,” they do establish a critical, auditable framework, one that allows future genetic discoveries to be cross-checked against archived samples. Along the way, Cliff tackles the cultural baggage surrounding Bigfoot research, separating evidence-based inquiry from paranormal hype, and explains how careful documentation, historical archives, and even limited uses of AI can support serious fieldwork without distorting the data. If you’re interested in Bigfoot research rooted in biology, method, and patience, not myth, this episode lays the groundwork.*******Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube page!*******Visit our website to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

In this episode, parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach joins Ghost City Tours founder Tim Nealon to explore the thin line between science and the supernatural.
