Ghoul Beans!

Ep.8 A Back Sleeper with Serial Killer Vibes

We have an extra ghoul in the sheets this week as we talk with a deeply disturbed guy, our good friend Tony! A true caffeinated creep, Tony came by to discuss his dealings with the paranormal, i.e. the midwest family that haunts his dreams. So grab a cup of black coffee in solidarity as we let Ghouls be Ghouls!

Ep.7 It’s Giving Warty Gourd

It may be a week after our favorite holiday but it’s never too late to talk about what makes up the perfect Midwest Halloween. This week we’re roasting the out of Randy’s pumpkin farm along with casually discussing many other Chicagoland fall activities. Reminisce with us as we talk about Halloween in the burbs, the movies that shaped us, and a pumpkin patch that apparently never existed.

Ep.6 Happy Halloween from Security Guard Johnny’s Cowboy Hat

Join us for part 2, a Halloween mini episode, of our Congress Plaza Hotel adventure featuring our caffeinated baddies and some favorite tales of the night!

Ep.5 Selfies in My Gas Chamber and Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow Slander

Welcome to our first ever Local Lore Live! Where we take you on-site to locations we have no business being, to experience ghosts that we don’t want to find!

Ep.4 Dirty, Filthy Gas Station Tamales

Welcome to Ghouls being Ghouls. This episode takes you down a journey, no, several journeys from human beans just like you. These listener submitted stories are spooky, at times confusing, and unverifiable! We don’t care if it’s your story, your mom’s story, or your best friend’s uncle’s coworker’s story. If it sends a shiver down our spines, we’re reading them! We may not walk the walk, but we’re ready to talk the talk.

Ep.3 The Final Girl, Unsheeted

Join in on our very first Roasted and Ghosted episode where we talk about all of the things and then loosely tie it back to spooky topics. This week we discuss the most common horror themes, the movies that host them, and why cardio keeps us from being the final girl. Grab a mug of pumpkin cream foam and relax as we dive in and roast some classic horror movie tropes.

Ep.2 Mr. Richardson, In the Barn, with the Nokia

Welcome to Local Lore! The Midwest is filled with corn, but also ghosts! And we're ready to introduce you to all the local ghouls that we know. We kick off this episode type with a literal hometown favorite; prepare for scary encounters, tales through the telephone, and very little factual information. Sip some coffee and buckle up as we take a drive down Cuba Road.
