Ghost Hunting 101 – A Skeptic’s Journey into the Unknown

04/23/25 • 30 min

In this week’s episode, Jimmy takes a deep dive into the world of ghost hunting—a pursuit that exists somewhere between science, storytelling, and running around in the dark hoping something whispers your name. Armed with curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism, Jimmy unpacks the gadgets, the theories, and the quirks of paranormal investigations, from spirit boxes spitting out random syllables to night vision cameras turning every dust particle into “definitive proof.”

But this episode isn’t just about theories—it’s about a real experience. Enter John Fike, a former skeptic who went into a ghost hunt expecting to debunk everything... and walked away questioning everything. John shares his firsthand account of what happened during a late-night investigation at the Randolph County Infirmary, where eerie sounds, unexplained phenomena, and a rock thrown from the darkness turned him from a nonbeliever into someone who isn’t so sure anymore.

Is it all just psychology and physics messing with our senses? Or is there something more lurking beyond the veil? Whether you’re a full-on believer, a die-hard skeptic, or just here for the spooky stories, this episode promises to entertain, educate, and maybe even send a chill down your spine. Tune in and decide for yourself: are we alone, or are we just really good at scaring ourselves?

Flatulence, Physics, and the Future of Fart-based Energy

In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy takes on a question that no one needed answered but everyone has secretly wondered—could fart propulsion actually work? With equal parts curiosity and skepticism, we explore the physics of gas dynamics, the limits of human propulsion, and why science sometimes asks the weirdest questions. Along the way, we consult real experts, examine unexpected real-world applications, and uncover some truly bizarre discoveries about methane and movement.

But theory is nothing without application, so Jimmy puts on his investor hat in a Shark Tank-style segment, where some of the most ambitious (and horrifying) fart-powered inventions get pitched. And as the episode unfolds, one question looms: Is this a joke, or is there something worth taking seriously here? Strap in, hold your breath, and get ready for one of the most scientifically unnecessary but strangely informative episodes yet.

Why Bigfoot Loves Camping Gear

In this episode, Jimmy welcomes back John Fike, a podcaster and YouTuber who’s spent years immersed in the Bigfoot community, interviewing people who claim to have had encounters. But this isn’t a debate about whether Bigfoot exists—John already believes he does. Instead, we’re diving into something even bigger: the culture of Bigfoot belief.

Why do people believe? Why do some fake sightings? And how do you separate genuinely compelling encounters from outright hoaxes? More importantly, what is it about Bigfoot that keeps people hooked generation after generation—from true believers to casual fans who just love slapping Sasquatch on t-shirts and coffee mugs?

Along the way, Jimmy and John break down how Bigfoot became a massive industry, why the legend is so tied to camping, and the bizarre double standard of belief—where people can spend their weekends storm chasing, ghost hunting, or buying haunted dolls with zero judgment, but claim to see Bigfoot once and get socially exiled.

So, whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just here for the laughs, buckle up—this episode is packed with wild stories, deep cultural analysis, and enough Bigfoot talk to make you question every shadow in the woods.
