    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 119 "Grumblethorpe"   On this episode we are back in historic Philadelphia, with a house that saw six generations of one family, many historical events, countless visitors and supposedly a few ghosts. This Wister family is well known and documented in the commonwealth's history but this story was new to us. It's exciting to find a place like this which seems beloved by so many in the area for a variety of reasons, so whether you are there for the gardens,  wedding, an educational tour or the spirits... you'll make some memories either way we expect.    If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram, YouTube or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 118 "Hairy Hands of Dartmouth"   On this week's episode, we head back across the pond for more UK folklore. This time to a very specific region of Dartmouth along B3212 near Postbridge. This story has been the subject of many newspaper articles, books and conjectures going back over 100 years. In many ways, it has familiar elements we've looked at in other tales, but this one has some very unique characteristics which make for an interesting inspection.    If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram, YouTube and TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 117 "The Morgawr"   This week we head back across the pond for another Cornish legend which had been sighted many times over the last 100+ years, but never decidedly identified. With so much of the ocean inaccessible by conventional means, it lends itself to stories. When you have an area where so many residents live near, work on, and love the water, it is natural that stories of unknowable beasts come to the surface. Is the Morgawr a single creature, a relic population of marine reptiles or something yet more strange?   If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Youtube, Instagram or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 116 "Dr. PA - Lost Children of the Alleghenies"   The week we do something a little different. Before Mike started the Ghost Furnace, Nic and I had a Pennsylvania centric history/folklore podcast that ran from late 2015 until sometime in 2023. It had a different style and format but many of the topics either informed or would expand into elements we talk about on this show. So we wanted to start sharing them with everyone when we have a week like this, where both of us are crazy busy and don't have time to sit down and talk spooky stories with all of you. Let us know what you think about this early take of ours on the Lost Children of the Alleghenies, and if you like us digging into these archives from time to time.     If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Youtube, Instagram or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 115 "State College Sasquatch"   This week we look at a recent report of a bigfoot in an unlikely, and familiar location. The area along Spring Creek between State College and Bellefonte is a place we have fished many times over the years. It holds a special place in our hearts. So when we heard someone had recently reported a class A encounter, we were eager to look into the story. In many ways this is a textbook sighting, how that affects your opinion of the veracity of the story is up to interpretation.   Here is a link to the BFRO report we reference in the episode: www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=78276   If you have a story you'd like to share or a topic you'd like us to research, you can find us on Instagram, Youtube and TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

There's lots of different options out there given your preferences, destinations and budget but one thing that'll always float to the top of that priority list is a haunted hotel. Bedford Springs is an sulfer spring spa, hotel and resort along the well established route from the coast, into the interior of the country. Lots of history, people and stories mix in this location to create a space which is primed for a haunting.

Under a large steel trestle railroad bridge flows a quiet creek. However, in this secluded location, people from all over gather thanks to an unbelievable story about a monster which supposedly haunted this bridge. The story is told over and over again, just like other urban legends all over the world. The part that often seems overlooked in these stories, is the real danger that comes with putting yourself in the path of these phantoms. The Pope Lick monster is an unusually potent cautionary tale, one everyone should pay attention to.   Here is a link to the film we reference in this episode   Do you have a story you'd like to share?

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 110 "The Ring in the Basement"   The role video plays in the paranormal hasn't changed much over the years. People generally see what they want, or don't want to see in them. What has changed is the prevalence and quality of cameras in not only our investigations, but our day to day lives. This week we look at three videos shared with us that seem to contain anomalies. Ghosts or not, videos like this give us a great example of why deciding what we are often looking at reported video evidence of the paranormal is still just as complex and confounding to figure out as it ever was.
