Sasha Graham's Ghost Stories by the Fire
Episode #4: Ghost Toast
Guest: Kristine Eckert, Screenwriter
What happens when you grow up in a haunted house and as the youngest sibling, you get blamed for all the ghostly activity? And where does the imagination end? And a real life haunting begin?.
Kristine Eckert spent ten years producing and directing unscripted television for the Travel Channel, Animal Planet, and HBO before switching over to screenwriting. She has recently been showcased on the Impact Creative Network, an incubator for up-and-coming writers created by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment.
In this haunting episode, we talk about the girl in the blue dress who appears in her daughter's room, companions in the afterworld, and the wildly haunted house she grew up in. Light some incense, recite an incantation, and pull the curtains closed ‘cause we are about to get spooky.

Episode #6 “Creepy Fingers” with director & actress Catherine Mary Stewart
What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night to a strange creature peering around your bedroom door? Do the departed leave their energy behind? Is artificial intelligence the new ghostly encounter?
If you were a 70’s or 80’s kid, chances are you were raised by tv and movies and you know exactly who today’s guest is
Catherine Mary Stewart taught me and millions of teenagers how to stand up for ourselves and fight our way through a zombie apocalypse, long before the WALKING DEAD was a thing. She’s the star of the epic, classic film NIGHT OF THE COMET.
Cathy began her career as the original Kayla Brady on DAYS OF OUR LIVES and went on to star in dozens of t.v. shows, and series movies such as HOLLYWOOD WIVES, THE LAST STARFIGHTER, and WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S.
Today she shares her ghostly experiences, musings on her creative inner life, and what its like to take her characters home with her.
Grab some popcorn and turn down the lights...
