Ghost City: The Podcast

Let us know who you want to hear next! 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...

Let us know who you want to hear next! A ghost hunt can feel like pure external reality until you ask a tougher question: what if the haunting is also happening inside us? Tim Nealon sits down with Brett Harpp, LHMC-D , a licensed mental health counselor and EMDR certified therapist known as the Haunted Therapist, to explore why paranormal experiences can be authentic, eerie, and still deeply shap...

Let us know who you want to hear next! 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...

Let us know who you want to hear next! 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 ex...

Let us know who you want to hear next! 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 r...

Let us know who you want to hear next! A ghost that asks for nudity cards, a jelly donut, and pear cider sounds like a joke until the activity stops the moment someone finally listens. We sit down with Tammie Chavez of the Hollyweird Paranormal Podcast , a New Orleans native turned Los Angeles costume designer and paranormal investigator, to talk about what actually powers the best ghost stories....

Let us know who you want to hear next! A spirit box blurts out “mom’s on the phone” and then the phone actually rings. That’s the kind of moment that forces you to slow down, stop arguing about labels, and ask better questions about what we’re really interacting with when we chase the paranormal. We’re joined by Gary Shapiro and John Santa from the Splintered Spirits Podcast to talk about ghost hu...

Let us know who you want to hear next! You can laugh about “voodoo candles” at a gas station right up until someone explains why they work and why they sometimes go wrong. We sit down with Kalei, known online as kaleiseesdeadpeople and The Crystal Patch, to talk about witchcraft, psychic mediumship, and what it actually means to “manipulate energy to create change” in a modern, practical way. We d...

Let us know who you want to hear next! Aliens, ghosts, consciousness, and the algorithm that decides what you see next all collide in this conversation with Serena DC , co-founder of Spark TV and creator of The Hybrids. We start with the question most people are afraid to ask out loud: what does it actually mean when someone claims they’re an alien hybrid or says they’ve had children with extrater...

Let us know who you want to hear next! Something grabs your ankles the moment you slide into bed. Your wrists get forced down. You try to yell, but nothing comes out. Then a perfect copy of your boyfriend appears at the foot of the bed, except the face is a blank, distant black. Shari DeBenedetti i doesn’t tell that story for shock value, she tells it because it’s the moment that pushed her from f...

Let us know who you want to hear next! A skeptic walks into a “haunted” pub expecting an easy laugh, and walks out with his worldview cracked open. That’s where our conversation with Adam and Dan from Ghost Trip Investigation begins, and it only gets bigger from there. We talk about how GTI grew from COVID-era TikTok livestreams into a weekly, five-hours-at-a-time grind that millions now watch, an...

Let us know who you want to hear next! A shadow in a hallway is one thing. Watching a “lab coat” figure glide out from a nurses station when the person you sent down the corridor is wearing black leggings is something else entirely. We're joined by Ghost Hunters standouts Richel Stratton and Brian Murray for a wide-ranging, brutally honest talk about what actually keeps investigators in the f...

Let us know who you want to hear next! A handwritten meatloaf recipe from Lizzie Borden turns into a surprisingly deep question: can food be a more honest way to time travel than any EVP session? We sit down with Amy Bruni to follow that thread from haunted houses to historic kitchens, and it gets personal fast. Amy shares how 30 years of paranormal research and TV work on Ghost Hunters and Kindre...

Let us know who you want to hear next! The Ghost Brothers pull up in-house with us in New Orleans and the vibe is exactly what you want from a paranormal podcast: real friends, real stories, and zero pretending. Dalen Spratt , Marcus Harvey and Juwan Mass talk about how they got started as “fish out of water” investigators, why that honesty connected with fans, and what it’s like staying close aft...

Let us know who you want to hear next! Something weird happens when you spend enough time in “haunted” places: you start wondering how much of the fear is out there and how much is in your own head. Jake Bruce joins us to talk about building a career in ghost hunting on YouTube while staying honest, staying sane, and refusing to treat every noise as proof. We get into how he and his brother starte...

Let us know who you want to hear next! A rocket climbs, a light appears, and the “normal” rules start slipping. We’re joined by Kaleb Bench from Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch to unpack what the team is actually doing when they say they’re running a scientific investigation and why they keep repeating the same experiments even when viewers think they have seen it before. When you only get 45 minutes...

Let us know who you want to hear next! A haunting is creepy, sure, but the real gut punch is the moment you realise telling the truth might cost you your credibility. Ashley from the Ghost Gossip Podcast joins us to talk about buying a haunted house without knowing it, renovating it anyway, and watching small, “explainable” moments turn into a pattern you cannot unsee. When her kids start reportin...

Jay joins us from Ghost Adventures, where he’s spent over 16 years filming, investigating, and dealing with the part nobody sees: what follows you home. We talk candidly about the real risks of paranormal investigation, why dark cases can...

Let us know who you want to hear next! They’re filming a wholesome food show about local bakeries, and then two weeks later they’re back on camera helping people untangle real ghost stories. That contrast is exactly why this conversation with Third Eye Paranormal works so well. We sit down with Kim, Amy, and Chelsea to talk about what they actually do when the lights go down, the gear comes out, a...

Let us know who you want to hear next! Rats, fire, a metal cage, and a slow inevitability. That’s where we start, because medieval torture isn’t really “ancient history” when you can still trace its logic in the way societies talk about punishment today. We’re joined by Kim Ashmore, the general manager for the Medieval Torture Museum in Los Angeles, and we ask the questions most people avoid once...

Tim and Andy talk honestly about the problem with sensationali...

Let us know who you want to hear next! Something about Gettysburg keeps pulling people back. Maybe it is the history, maybe it is the grief still embedded in the landscape, or maybe it is the feeling that the past is not fully past when you stand where thousands died. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation on the Ghost City Podcast, Tim sits down with Ghost City Tours Gettysburg manager Andy Andr...
