That's The Spirit

We talk about human bones and some ghosts in the news over the constant whir of an air conditioner (for that we do apologize, it won't happen again).

We saw a zombie movie and GUESS WHAT - now we can't stop talking about 'em! Today you'll learn all about the curious and sad tale of Clarivius Narcisse, walking corpse syndrome, Florida zombies, fungi, and more spooky stories of the undead.

DIVE into the undersea sorcerous shapeshifting Finfolk of Orkney, where you, too, can live the nightmare of being a finwife (or finwife hag). Then join us as we cry over the beloved companionship that a haunted laptop can provide!

Hold onto your hats, because you're about to hear the tragic story behind Toyama Park in Japan. Then we dive into some Canadian ghosts, get instructions on how to figure out if your house is haunted, and learn about kool skeptic Joe Nickell!

Happy Birthday, Ghosts! That's the Spirit is two years old. To celebrate, we read Part 1 of Steph's highly anticipated horror feature film script...THE MILKENING. This episode features TTS favorites Saysha Heinzman, Ryan D'Angelo, Andrew Futral, and Zack Willis. Sit back, relax, and let the milk wash over. We love you!

We're really in our wheelhouse today, discussing warning signs of the antichrist as well as evil sorcerers throughout history. Criss Angel is both of these things.

We're going to Canewdon, UK to run around the church tower 13 times so we can travel back in time! And then heading over to see some haunted Slavic locations, including some dreamy ol' mansions and monasteries.

Out of everything that totally owns, dragons own the hardest. We're talking 'gons ALL DAY today with our good friend and very special guest Zack Willis! You got your Hydra. You got your Cockatrice. You've even got your Falkor. Prepare 2 LEARN. ~*dRaCaRyS*~

Explore the world of THE FEATHERED SERPENT, Quetzalcoatl, and dive into the underwater terror of the Slavic Rusalka mermaids. TBH they are living their best lives, frolicking in fields and drowning innocent passersby.

Hear about some mythical beasts of Chile as well as some classic theatre ghosts! And while you're at it, go see Steph's new one-woman show, "Todley and the Great Flood!" Actually, it's not ready for opening night yet. We'll keep you posted.

Will u b mad at me if I scatter your ashes at Disney as a joke? Know who WILL be mad? The cast members who have to vacuum it up. Steph covers tragic theme parks and rides, and Robin tells the sorrowful legend of the pig-faced woman (PFW).

It's kind of nice to think that you'll see a gorgeous scene or beloved deceased family member right when you're about to die, but also: what if that gorgeous scene is Kingda Ka, and that beloved person is Taz? Picture it. This plus some info about haunted scrying mirrors on today's all new episode!

Get on board with some world class movie pitches, including the forthcoming dramatic period piece "Give Me a Gable". Still traumatized by the sinking of the Estonia, Robin shares some spooky shipwrecks; Steph details some gates of hell found around the world.

Lobster and cold-fire chicken Yokai?! Longneck dinosaurs living in the Congo?! Learn about creatures beyond your wildest dreams! And stick around for scorching hot takes on musicals and boat disaster lamentations!

Get freaked out by the lifelong EVP work of Sarah Estep and celebrate the vernal equinox with a crash course on plant poisons! Also, Steph saw a rhombus UFO.

We're back to talk about Lazarus syndrome and the perils of being buried alive, plus another precious Yokai whose only purpose is to mess with you (and have a face as smooth as a egg).

If you found a bag of old film on the side of the road, would you use it to make a spooky movie? Alex Monty Canawati did, and the result is the haunted ass movie "Return to Babylon!" Full of distorted, grotesque images mysteriously imprinted onto the film, RTB is a nightmare that you can watch on YouTube. Also: what makes a Virgin Mary sighting legit? Let's find out on today's brand new ep!

Kids say the darnedest things, and sometimes those things will haunt you for the rest of your life (pun intended, duh). Steph tells us some tales of ghostly kids, then Robin shares some deeply disturbing quotes from children who have no filter and will just tell you when they see a man with a snake neck crawling on the floor behind you. GREAT THANKS I'm never babysitting again.

Our old pals Max Reinhardsen and Natalie Rich are back on the pod! Steph tells us how to report a ghost sighting, and Robin gives a rundown of England's wide swath of ghost dogs. Then we discuss a terrible monkey dog, and the case of a haunting with some of the best one-liners of all time: Booty vs. Barnaby (Man Sued for Slandering a Ghost).

Ok FINE - it's now canon that you can indeed choke a mountain lion with your bare hands. Learn all about the renowned ghost ship the Queen Mary (my personal ship of dreams), as well as Francis Bacon's CHICKEN GHOST, and Brazil's headless mule!
