Once again, it’s time to pack up the Ope, A Ghost van and hit the road. We hope you have a taste for seafood and Tex-Mex because we’re headed to Galveston, Texas. Our first stop will be the Galveston Railroad Museum—also known as Jonathan’s Train Depot—where one traveler might have lost his head, but not his hat. Next, we’ll swing by the local Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and check in on the ghost children haunting the toy aisle. If we get sleepy, we can always stay at the famous Galvez Hotel and hope to catch a glimpse of Audra, the Lovelorn Lady. Or, we could check-in at The Tremont House hotel and visit with the ghosts of a nun and several children. Did we mention that The Tremont House was built atop a mass grave? Buckle up and enjoy the ride! P.S. Heaven is in charge of the radio so don’t ask. Hope you like Hamilton!

Episode 29 - Graveyard Ghosts

Everyone is just dying to get in, or so the old joke goes, but these ghosts refuse to leave the cemetery. Join us as we stroll among the tombstones at two very haunted cemeteries. First, we’ll visit the burial place of Edgar Allan Poe at the Westminster Burying Ground where the ghosts range from Poe himself to the apparitions of grave robbers. Next, we’ll travel to Hollywood and visit the Hollywood Forever Cemetery where you can catch a concert and visit the grave of your favorite celebrity in the same visit. Among other ghosts you’ll find the silent film heartthrob Rudolf Valentino and a mysterious woman most often seen crying by the lake. Come along and play ghost in the graveyard for real!

Episode Thirteen - Book Club Mini

On today’s Book Club Minisode we read Craig DiLouie’s much loved Episode Thirteen. The distinct storytelling makes this novel one of the most unique and interesting novels we’ve ever read. The novel depicts a group of paranormal investigators desperately trying to secure a second season for their paranormal television show Fade to Black. Throughout the novel, the reader experiences every second of the character’s lives via journal entries, text messages, and on-screen dialogue via transcript. We recommend you read this one. Everything that makes it quirky also makes it wonderfully strange.
