It was all just a dream... or was it? This week the ghouls dive into the subconscious and interpret what listeners dreams mean...spoiler alert, ya’ll haunted. Join us as we discuss demons breaking the rules again, Tamara’s psychic potential, and maybe a diagnosis or two. Since no one knows how the brain works, sometimes you have to wonder, maybe ghosts are like the colors that shrimp can see and we can’t.
* Bonus points to the fans that can spot the ghostly orb in this episode!

Misery? I thought you said Missouri! This week the ghouls are taking the local lore a bit south for the winter as we discuss the Missouri State Penitentiary and the Screaming House of Union. Does the house scream or the people inside it? Does the jail glow or is that just the glass? Are you smaller than a breadbox?? All secrets will soon be revealed...or not, you’ll have to listen to find out!

Did you just call my name? No? Must’ve been a mimic! This week the ghouls are diving straight into the spookies with some ghouls being ghouls. Real world, ghost rules say we probably shouldn’t talk about ghosts  after the paranormal activity we had, kind of (unfortunately not at all) on camera. But real ghoul, host rules ensured that we did. Trust nothing and ignore your name if it’s called, because this week’s stories are all about mimics.

Ep 58. Merry Christmas, Die

Sunday Dec 21, 2025

BAH HUMBUG! Now that’s not too strong for us! It's the HOLIDAY season and the ghouls are feeling warm and bright. Nothing keeps us toasty like a good ole fashioned bitching hour (to an hour and a half). What can we say? We have a lot of thoughts and with a lot of thoughts come a lot of opinions. You won’t have to pretend to like this gift, because we know you’ve got opinions too! Get yourself a red cup of whatever spirits keep you warm, put on your favorite haunting Christmas carol, and join us as we discuss all the awkward, terrible, and painfully relatable parts of the season.

This week we’re talking all things siblings, and what’s scarier than that? The ghouls are sharing scary stories from listeners just like you about the terrifying things people have experienced with their siblings or because of their siblings. Join in the fun by sending us your terrifying tales and get ready for a good trip because the ghouls are being ghouls.

This week we hopped a spiritual Greyhound to local Minnesota to explore the terrifying First Avenue music venue and the haunted halls of the St. James Hotel. We’ve got ghosts in our homes, caffeine in our veins, and a debut album on the way. Turn up the volume and lock those water-closet doors, because we’re diving into some local lore!

October may be over, but for these ghouls, it’s always spooky season! This week, we’re spilling Halloween horror stories from the internet and true listener submissions that will make your coffee go cold. Want to know what’s scarier than being the oldest of seven kids? Curious about the consequences of messing with spells? Ever wondered what it will be like to contact these ghouls from the afterlife? Tune in for the answers while these ghouls are being ghouls!

Ep 54. Lake Spooky

Monday Oct 27, 2025

Monday Oct 27, 2025

Was it a trick? Oh, it’s definitely a treat! The ghouls are back and somehow deader than ever! If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times, in unison! This week, we’re getting real local as we dig into the lore of The Elgin Metal Casket Company  and the ever mysterious Lake Michigan Triangle, where boats, captains, but apparently not Christmas trees, all go missing. So grab your snacks, a hot cup of pumpkin spice, and settle in for some much needed Ghoul Beans!

Halloween is just around the corner, and these ghouls decided there’s no better time for some extra spooky stories. Whether it’s people wandering through a graveyard or camping alone on a cursed island, the lesson is clearly written on the lighthouse wall: stay indoors. So, cuddle up, maybe with a frappé in hand, because these ghouls are being ghouls!
