Something threw Marie Jackson across a room when she was five years old and the scar never let her forget it. Marie joins us in the studio to tell the full origin story behind her work as a paranormal investigator, author, and creator, starting with a Kansas City house that behaved like a real life poltergeist case: shared nightmares, physical attacks, objects moving without explanation, and a family forced to stay silent while it got worse.

We go deep on what happens after the haunting. Marie explains why she separates paranormal enthusiasts from true paranormal investigation, how she screens cases, and what she looks for when someone says their home is “a demon house.” She also shares practical advice for parents whose kids report scary encounters, especially when the adults do not believe in ghosts. Along the way we talk about sensitivity, her personal “energy” scale, and why altered states can change what people perceive.

The story widens into history and accountability. Marie describes returning to the original house and hearing that later tenants experienced the same patterns, then spending years researching the neighborhood through archives and historical records. We also discuss Missouri haunted property disclosure rules and why buyers may never learn about violent history or reported activity. Finally, Marie lays out what she is building next: Paranormal Impact, GhostLink TV, Supernatural Sisters, and a scripted film vision starting with Food Lane and her book Ten Feet Under.

If you care about ghosts but you care even more about what’s true, this conversation is for you. We're joined by Diane Student from the long-running History Goes Bump podcast, and we get into the part of the paranormal world that most people skip: the receipts. We talk about why a haunting claim means almost nothing without the land history, the building timeline, and real documentation that can support the story.

We swap notes on haunted Florida, from the instantly atmospheric streets of St Augustine to smaller locations that never show up on TV but still produce strange activity. Along the way, we tackle the “Native American burial ground” trope and why it gets used as a shortcut, even when the real local history is more complex and more important. If you’re into paranormal travel, haunted houses, EVP stories, and ghost tours, you’ll hear why lesser-known places can be more compelling than the overhyped classics.

Then we get practical: how to research haunted locations without relying on whatever Google or AI serves you first. We talk libraries, historical societies, newspaper archives, census records, fire insurance maps, and the hard work of verifying details that ghost stories often ignore. We also call out the damage caused by promising guaranteed paranormal experiences and using EMF meters as “proof” when they’re usually detecting everyday electricity, not spirits.

If you’ve ever wondered what a ghost might actually be, we go there too, including residual hauntings, object attachments, and the idea that time and space may overlap in ways we don’t understand yet. Subscribe, share this with your favorite history nerd, and leave a review with the haunted location you want us to dig into next.

A code word meant for one person on the other side. A voice that seems to know it. A moment so specific you either laugh it off or rethink everything you believe about grief, memory, and connection. That’s where our conversation with Steve Dills of "Transcend Paranormal" and our Gettysburg manager Andy Andrews leads, and it goes far beyond typical “ghost hunter” talk.

We start with Steve’s early experiences in a Virginia home that felt targeted and relentless, then follow the questions that came after: what is a ghost, why do some places feel charged, and how do you investigate without turning real history into a circus act? Steve shares why he leans into field science and environmental data, including reports of ionizing radiation spikes and barometric pressure changes that sometimes line up with EVP moments. We also dig into why repeatability is so hard in paranormal investigation, and why that doesn’t automatically make careful research meaningless.

From there, the episode turns personal and surprisingly hopeful. We talk about haunted locations as anchors for human stories, why doing your homework on history matters, and how Steve’s book The Ghosts We Carry reframes “haunting” as the imprint people leave on us. Andy shares the grief that shaped his life, the signs that still show up, and how those experiences changed the way he approaches spirit communication, energy, and risk in the field.

If you’ve ever searched for EVPs, haunted history, Gettysburg ghost tours, or paranormal investigation that treats people with respect, this one will stick with you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves the paranormal, and leave a review so more listeners can find the Ghost City Podcast.

A vampire boutique is one thing. Turning it into a French Quarter destination with a hidden speakeasy, a Vampire Cafe, and a vampire apothecary that hosts seances and private parties is something else entirely. We’re joined in studio by entrepreneur and author Marita Woywod Crandle, the mind behind some of the most talked-about vampire-themed experiences in New Orleans, and she walks us through how it all started and why it kept expanding.

We get into New Orleans vampire lore the right way: what’s legend, what’s historically traceable, and why stories like the casket girls keep evolving. Marita shares what it was like getting a private look inside the convent attic that helped shape her research, then pivots into a moment that sounds impossible to shrug off: a well-dressed man with a cane, a Romanian accent, a dog growling like never before, and a disappearance so clean her husband insists nobody even left the shop. If you love haunted New Orleans, paranormal storytelling, and the thin line between tourism and myth, this one delivers.

Then we go behind the curtain on the business reality: building a restaurant during the pandemic, creating “vampire food” that’s genuinely great dining, engineering immersive events, and surviving the brutal parts of French Quarter operations like construction chaos, permits, rent, and even rats. We also talk books, from Mosquito to the upcoming Carter Brothers-inspired historical novel, plus the rare art of four edged paintings tied to her release.

A lot of paranormal conversations get stuck in a tired fight: either you “believe in psychics” or you “believe in equipment.” We wanted something more useful than that, so we brought on Tawney Lewis, a longtime paranormal investigator who’s also a certified psychic medium and intuition teacher. She explains how she actually runs a ghost hunting investigation when she’s trying to be accurate, not theatrical: quick walkthroughs, careful notes, then testing the same hotspots with tools like K2 meters and other standard paranormal gear to see what lines up.

We also get real about the credibility problem in mediumship. Tawney doesn’t sugarcoat it: people should be skeptical, because some self-proclaimed mediums rush to charge money without development, boundaries, or ethics. She shares how she discovered mediumship through training, why she prefers calling herself “intuitive” on investigations, and how learning to “turn it off” keeps the work from taking over your life.

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to “tap in,” we break down the clairs in plain English: clairsentient feeling, clairvoyant seeing, clairaudient hearing, and claircognizant knowing. We also talk practical practice ideas you can try at home, why saying the “stupid” detail out loud sometimes matters most, and how haunted locations can ramp up from intent, attention, and even investigators bringing extra energy with them.

Then we go into the stuff everyone asks about: demons, dark entities, and what “not human” can feel like, including a basement encounter Tawney chose to avoid. We close with favorite haunted locations, EVP mysteries, a Gettysburg moment that still gives chills, and where to find Tawny’s upcoming events and classes.

A scream in the Rockies. A guard llama sounding the alarm. And a family confession that something stood up on two legs and walked away. We talk with cryptozoologist and on-camera researcher Brittany Barbieri about the moment that flipped her worldview early, and how that kind of fear in an experienced outdoors person becomes a data point you can’t casually explain away.

From there, we go deep into the roots of modern cryptozoology through zoologist Ivan Sanderson and the legendary Sanderson files. Brittany explains what changes when you read original letters, notes, casts, and catalogs instead of secondhand internet lore, and why Sanderson’s method of elimination still matters for anyone trying to study an unknown animal responsibly. We also unpack the infamous Florida “penguin footprints” story, how hoaxes spread, and why serious researchers still get targeted.

Then things get complicated: the Minnesota Iceman, disturbing implications in Sanderson’s own words, and the uncomfortable question of what Bigfoot might be. We debate ape vs hominin, push back on magical explanations, and talk about treating Sasquatch research like wildlife biology, including why raw sighting counts can be misleading. If you’re curious about Bigfoot, cryptids, and how to start researching without getting lost in the noise, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves the weird, and leave a review with your take: what do you think Bigfoot really is?

People love to laugh at cryptids until a credible witness looks you in the eye and says, “I saw it.” That’s where this conversation gets interesting. We sit down with author and cryptozoologist Lyle Blackburn to talk about Bigfoot, Dogman, and the stranger edge of cryptozoology, but we keep coming back to the real core of the mystery: why modern people keep reporting encounters they can’t explain.

We dig into how eyewitness reports form under stress, bad lighting, quick glimpses, and deep fear, and why local folklore can give the same kind of encounter a totally different name depending on where you are. From Rougarou stories in Louisiana to the sudden rise of “Dogman” as a label, Lyle explains how monster traditions evolve, how internet culture changes reporting, and why some witnesses describe a darker, more threatening presence with canine-shaped creatures than they do with Sasquatch. If you’ve ever wondered whether Dogman is biological, paranormal, or simply misidentified wildlife filtered through legend, you’ll have a lot to chew on.

We also get practical about research. Lyle makes the case for fieldwork, original sources, newspaper archives, and face-to-face interviews over copy-pasted blog posts and shallow “Google research.” Then we go deep on one of the wildest cases: the Lake Worth Monster, a 1969 encounter that involves multiple witnesses, police attention, and a story that stayed consistent inside a family for decades. We round things out with devil monkeys, phantom felines, “animals out of place,” and the future of Bigfoot research, including using AI to analyze patterns as if Sasquatch is a real animal with real habits.

If you’re into Bigfoot, Dogman, cryptozoology, eyewitness testimony, American folklore, and investigative research, hit play and come with us. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves a good mystery, and leave a review with the cryptid you want us to tackle next.
