This week, Paul takes us deeper into the story of Mary Ann Winkowski--the inspiration behind the hit CBS tv drama Ghost Whisperer. After learning about her life last week, Paul takes us through her philosophy and what she knows of what waits for us after death. And most interestingly we discuss whether she is for real or if her story is as scripted as a television drama. Join us for this must not miss conclusion on the story of the real Ghost Whisper.

This week we're sharing with you all the recording of our second liveshow! After we sent chills down your spines with our unforgettable deep dive into the Amityville Horror House, we returned to the Main Stage at Poduty Live!

This time, we uncorked a haunting new mystery: the Gettysburg Battlefield. One of the most famously haunted sites in the country, Gettysburg is packed with eerie tales and unexplained phenomena. And this time our intrepid hosts aren’t just telling the story, they’re in it!

We actually stayed overnight at the infamously haunted Farnsworth House Inn, used as a Confederate strong hold during the battle and a Union hospital in the aftermath, to see the hauntings first hand. And now we've come to share our evidence with you!

Blending fright with fermented fun, we paired this ghostly journey with a new bottle of wine—and you’re invited to sip, shiver, and share in the experience.

Behind its towers and ivy-covered walls lies a history that reads like gothic fiction. A nobleman said to have gambled with the Devil himself. A hidden chamber where a monstrous heir was allegedly locked away for life. Ghostly figures wandering candlelit corridors long after the castle doors are shut for the night.

But Glamis isn’t just a place of hauntings and folklore—it’s also a castle tied to the British royal family and centuries of real, documented history. So tonight, we’ll uncork the stories, separate fact from legend, and wander through the shadowy halls of one of Scotland’s most haunted castles

So pour yourself something good, dim the lights, and join us as we explore the secrets, spirits, and scandals of **Glamis Castle**.

In the remote wilderness of Portlock, Alaska, an entire town vanished. But the question remains—why?

In this episode of Crypts and Corks, we travel to the foggy shores of Kenai Peninsula to explore one of Alaska’s most chilling mysteries: the abandoned settlement once known as Port Chatham. During the early 1900s, fishermen, cannery workers, and families built a small but thriving community here. Yet by the 1950s, the town had been completely deserted.

The official explanation? Isolation and economic decline.

The locals’ explanation? Something far more terrifying.

Stories from former residents and nearby villagers speak of strange disappearances, mutilated bodies, and something massive moving through the forest. Some believed the area was haunted. Others whispered about the Nantinaq—a towering, Bigfoot-like creature said to stalk the mountains and forests around Portlock.

So what really drove the people away? Was it the brutal realities of life in rural Alaska… or fear of something lurking just beyond the tree line?

Pour yourself a drink and join us as we dig into eyewitness accounts, local folklore, and the unsettling mystery of the town that fear may have erased from the map.

In the late 1800s, fear of the undead spread through rural communities in New England—not through folklore alone, but through real exhumations, desperate families, and a mysterious disease no one yet understood. In this episode of Crypts and Corks, we dive into the chilling history of the New England Vampire Panic, a period when grieving families dug up their loved ones in search of proof that the dead were draining the life from the living.

From the tragic story of Mercy Brown in Rhode Island to the widespread fear fueled by the deadly spread of tuberculosis, we explore how superstition, grief, and misunderstanding collided to create one of America’s strangest chapters of folklore. Why did otherwise rational communities believe vampires were real? And how did science eventually reveal the grim truth behind the panic?

Pour a glass, dim the lights, and join us as we dig into graves, folklore, and the very real fears that haunted New England.

Because sometimes… the scariest monsters are born from misunderstanding.
