When there's something strange and it don't look good, who you gonna call?

That's right - we have five tales of possession, plus two lesser known stories of haunting on film sets, and through it all we pay tribute to thicc Russell Crowe and his embracing of the dad bod.

I'm in western Australia just south of Perth a city called mandurah. We are having a heat wave tomorrow it's 39°c and our kids 2nd day of the year at school. #ghoststoryguys
How awesome 3 of my favourite podcasters together.
Brennan the first time I went to Ikea in Sydney Australia I got lost and was getting into a state.. I think being in Ikea could be an excuse for not attending weddings funerals and any other major events..
the music and sound was nice not including the clip clops. clip clops. clip clops. clip clops why you angry clops clip clip clops why's yer eye twitchclops ingclip clip clops clip clops
the acting is not great, but made more apparent contrasting with the narration and sound. it's like whiplash from listening CRINGE immersing CRINGE ahhh narrator AHHHHhHh AH AHAH AH AC TOR
the narrator from nosleep who does so many (too many) audible narrations does caricature accents for all characters. Mrs doubtfires every female character, kids have to "Billy" mouth breathe and toddler lisp age 2 to 12. at 13 they get doubtfired or rooney-ed or sinister Chad or rooney-ed ( I stopped audible after witnessing barthelme short stories being slaughtered by these voices.
check it out!
great show! when Jim is on a fellow podcasters it's so fun and creepy!
I really enjoyed listening to the three of you chatting and exploring issues, great show.
You can't make friends as an adult. it's impossible. everyone has their friends from youth and college, etc. and as an adult you can't find anyone who wants anymore friends. those who are friendly aren't interested in anything deeper. they aren't going to be there for you in good times and bad. friendship is overrated. you don't need it.
Isn't the baby crying noise just a bobcat or cougar or something like that?
or maybe, the father and previous partner had a miscarriage and that spirit didn't want to be forgotten
"Bigfoot is an alien..." "NO HE'S NOT!!!!" 😂😂 Aww, poor Paul xx
"There's money to be made from this! Let's hope Baggins isn't listening!" Me..... "Why would Bilbo want a ghost podcast...?" 🤔 Ahhhh... Bagans.... 😂😂♥️ xxxxx
just added Evil Eye to my watch list!
loved this episode 😄
not really as good with out Ian.
It's not the same without ian anymore. This used to be one of my favourite podcast to listen to. Too bad you guys couldn't figure out the differences.
oh no! where's Ian? I checked patreon and can't get any info! anyone help a girl out?
eight minutes in I gave up. I'm not listening to the rest. not a ghost story. fictional anti-gun story.
