Happy Halloween!! Spooky Season 2023 has ended… which means Spooky Season 2024 is officially underway, and David and Devin are celebrating with two classic ghost stories: THE INNOCENTS (1961), directed by Jack Clayton, and THE HAUNTING (1963), directed by Robert Wise. Adapting two famous works of literature (Henry James' The Turning of the Screw and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, respectively), the black-and-white films have their female protagonists arrive at gorgeous old Victorian manors… and encounter ghosts? We have much to talk about: from queer-coding, to second-wave feminism, to ambiguous endings, to the very definition of Gothic horror. So turn out the lights and burn some candles as we ask the question: What is a ghost? 00:05:51 - The Innocents 00:36:03 - The Haunting 01:05:04 - Comparisons 01:28:08 - Bone Reviews Follow us at:  instagram.com/cadaverdogspod twitter.com/cadaverdogspod .

I was once eating dinner alone at a bar in Petaluma, CA when a fellow solo diner started a conversation by saying, “I'm no conspiracy theorist but…” and what came out of his mouth would make Dan Brown raise an eyebrow. When I was offered the chance to speak with Colin Dickey, who recently wrote a book on the history of conspiracy theories, I jumped at the chance.  Meet Colin Dickey Colin is a writer, speaker, and academic, who has made a career out of collecting unusual objects and hidden histories all over the country. He's the author of multiple books, including Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places and The Unidentified: Mythical Monsters, Alien Encounters, and Our Obsession with the Unexplained. He Joined me on Uncorking a Story to talk about his latest book, Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shapes American Democracy. Key Takeaways The historical roots and implications of conspiracy theories: Colin delves into the origins of conspiracy theories, exploring how they have been used to suppress social change and perpetuate anti-Semitism. The persistent influence of conspiracy theories and social media: Colin discusses how social media platforms and algorithms have contributed to the spread and popularity of conspiracy theories, emphasizing that they are not going away anytime soon.  The emotional appeal and function of conspiracy theories: Colin explores the psychological aspects of conspiracy theories, highlighting their ability to provide reassurance and make sense of a chaotic world.  Skepticism towards UFO coverage on TV channels: Colin expresses his skepticism towards the way UFO encounters are portrayed in television specials, encouraging listeners to critically analyze the information presented.  Addressing conspiracy theories on an interpersonal level: Colin suggests that combating conspiracy theories requires understanding the underlying motivations and addressing them individually, rather than solely relying on media platforms to solve the issue.

Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world. From a creepy doll, to a house in New England, to putting the Devil on trial, the investigation of these incidents made the reputations of two of the most famous figures in the world of the paranormal, Ed and Lorraine Warren. Their research, writings, speaking events and more not only raised awareness and interest in hunting down the supernatural, but lead to a thriving series of horror movies. Listen in as Erin & Gary are joined by Alex Matsuo from The Spooky Stuff to discuss the Spiritualism movement & origins of parapsychology, both the real and fictional versions of the Warrens & their investigations, why you don't want to disturb supernatural entities, how the movie Warrens are like Sam & Dean Winchester, ethics in ghost hunting, their issues with The Conjuring 2, how Catholic imagery can easily be used to horrific effect, America's obsession with hauntings, and what if a different Wilson was cast as Ed Warren. Emanuel Swedenborg, Franz Mesmer, The Fox Sisters, Peter Underwood, & Hans Holzer The Amityville Horror trailer. Ben Radford, professional skeptic, disucsses the Warrens. The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren by Gerald Brittle. The Conjuring trailer. House of Darkness House of Light by Andrea Perron. The Enfield poltergeist and The Enfield Haunting trailer. White With Red short film. Hostage to the Devil: The Possession and Exorcism of Five Contemporary Americans by Malachi Marti.

The fact that this episode was recorded on Lorraine's birthday, and is being released on Valentine's Day, is strictly a coincidence. We swear.

Ghost hunters on television all seem to have a common goal: to prove that ghosts are real using sophisticated, yet inexact technology. Colin Dickey, the author of Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places, says this is not an accident. The relationship between technology and ghosthunters is as old as the telegraph. But Dickey is not interested in proving they are real; he is fascinated with what the ghost stories we tell reveal about our society.

When was the last time a story took you completely by surprise? Danielle Trussoni’s The Ancestor ambushed me into loving it. What seems a standard Gothic fiction turns into something wholly weirder … and wilder … as a young American woman inherits a creaky European castle, and the monstrous baggage that comes with it.Dani came on the show – somehow finding time between writing her new novel and being the New York Times’ horror columnist – to talk about The Ancestor’s paperback release. We tiptoe around the book’s many, many secrets, and somehow find ourselves all the way to a discussion about Bigfoot. It’s that kind of chat.We also discuss how her own roots and heritage inspired the novel, why there are so many double standards about women authors and horror, how she fits existing myth and lore into her stories so well … and I regale her with one of my favourite pieces of British legend. She’s kind enough to pretend that she doesn’t obviously know more about horror than me – and she also exposes me as someone who mentions that I have a degree a little too much.It’s interesting, enlightening, and more than a little bit shocking. Enjoy!The Ancestor is out in paperback from Custom House on April 13th.Other books we discussed include:Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places (2016), by Colin DickeyThe Unidentified: Mythical Monsters, Alien Encounters and our Obsession with the Unexplained (2020), by Colin DickeySapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (2011), by Yuval Noah HarariFlowers in the Attic (1979), by V.C.

It’s Halloween and in lieu of any trick and/or treating this plague year, I offer you a conversation with Colin Dickey, mystery-maestro and curator of the creepy. Colin is the author of Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places (2016) and The Unidentified: Mythical Monsters, Alien Encounters and our Obsession with the Unexplained – books that plumb the depths of the human mind and our fixation on the creepy things at the margins of the known world.In this wide-ranging discussion, we touch upon the remnants of lost civilisations, cryptozoology and the link between wonder, fear and the conspiracy theory. I also offer my favourite (and fool proof) theory as to why all photos of Bigfoot are blurry.I hope you all have the best Halloween possible in current circumstances. It’s been great creating this podcast so far and, today, on a horror-fan’s favourite holiday, I hope you are all well and enjoyably scared. Enjoy!Come talk books with us on Twitter @talkscaredpod or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com.Thanks to Terry Smith Audio for sound editing.

Join us for a lively conversation with the delightful Lucas Taylor of @brightleaftarot. In this podcast, Lucas shares his experiences growing up in New England, connecting with tarot and witchcraft, the allure and mystery of ghost stories, and gives some amazing advice to aspiring readers. We also theorize about why so many people discover magic during early adolescence (ourselves included), discuss the finer points of pumpkin carving, and get misty-eyed over the landscapes of our youth (and apple cider donuts). Finally, the very first installment of Ask A Tarot Reader features this excellent question from a listener, Ruby: What does it mean when a specific card keeps coming up in readings?For the past few months now, every time I do a reading for myself (once, maybe twice a month), I always get the 3 of Swords, whether I pull it myself or it just falls out of the deck. It seems obvious that there's a message here - it's definitely not a fun card to be getting, so I'm trying to understand what this could mean.

Kate Summerscale is our first guest working in the realms of non-fiction. Her back-catalogue proves that the real world is every bit as dark and terrifying as the inside of Stephen King’s head. She’s covered murder in the famous The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (2008) and now she’s back with a more spiritual crisis in The Haunting of Alma Fielding. The book examines a very odd case of poltergeist activity in the London suburbs between the wars. Famous ghost hunters get involved, much crockery is thrown, jewellery is stolen (all by ghosts honestly!) and terrapins are manifested out of thin air. If all that sounds truly bizarre to you, then trust me, it’s the tip of a very spooky iceberg.Kate is definitely the one to take us through the story. Her research is meticulous, and her historical contextualisation paints a compelling portrait of a nation, a household, and a woman under threat of attack. Books mentioned in this episode include:“Chemical”, in Shocks, by Algernon Blackwood (1935)Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places, by Colin Dickey (2017)The Unidentified: Mythical Monsters, Alien Encounters, and our Obsession with the Unexplained, by Colin Dickey (2020)The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson (1959)Come talk books with us on Twitter @talkscaredpod or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com.Thanks to Terry Smith Audio for sound editing.

When in the city of Angeles you can’t help but look for ghosts at some of LA’s legendary hotels, especially the notorious Alexandria Hotel, Mission Inn and Hotel Cecil.  Meet the man behind Bizarre Los Angeles, Craig Owens. Craig’s an LA-based writer and photographer who began staging vintage style photo shoots at haunted hotels as an idea for an Old Hollywood themed project. Little did he know that while on location, he he would catch his first ghost on film. This left him wondering if his photo shoots were somehow triggering paranormal activity. Craig’s book, "Haunted by History, Vol. 1," earned a Publishers Weekly Star Review. His encyclopedic knowledge of each hotel's history, paired with his haunting photography and sense of humor has made him a favorite of historical societies and ghost enthusiasts alike. His next volume, featuring the true histories of eight more haunted Southern California hotels, will be released in 2019. He’s appeared on "My Ghost Story: Caught on Film" about an apparition at the Palomar Inn in Old Town Temecula. Since that time, he's been quoted in James Bartlett's book, "Gourmet Ghosts 2," and Colin Dickey's book: "Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places." More recently, he has appeared on Nerdist's popular "Bizarre States" online podcast, and has been featured in "Los Angeles Magazine," and "NBC Los Angeles." https://bizarrela.com https://www.facebook.com/bizarrelosangeles     Ghost Magnet Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/Ghost-Magnet-with-Bridget-Marquardt-2480154975336666/   Bridget Marquardt Bridget Marquardt is best known to television audiences and pop-culture connoisseurs as the sweet and brainy star of E!

At that time, he was as a seven-year-old boy playing on the grounds of a Southern plantation known as Waverley, located outside of West Point, Mississippi. While Waverley’s owners admitted to seeing and hearing the ghost of a young female child, Craig never encountered her. Yet the atmosphere and history of Waverley stayed with him long after his family moved to Texas. In 1994, he moved to Los Angeles and began to work freelance in the film and television industry. His production credits include Fudge (1995), The Christmas Box (1995), Wag the Dog(1997), Phone Booth (2002), and The Gilmore Girls (2000-2001). In 2002, Craig left film production to work for the Century City Chamber of Commerce and later the International Cinematographers Guild, I.A.T.S.E. Local 600. While working for the chamber of commerce, he contributed articles for the Century City View and wrote the History of Century City. In 2009, Craig began staging vintage style photo shoots at haunted hotels as an idea for an Old Hollywood themed project. While on location, he experienced paranormal activity. This left him wondering if his photo shoots were somehow triggering it. The following year, he started his Facebook blog, Bizarre Los Angeles, a page dedicated to Los Angeles’ forgotten history. He also continued to hold vintage photos shoots at haunted locations. Little did he know that his love for haunted hotels would bring media attention. In 2013, he appeared on My Ghost Story: Caught on Film after he unintentionally photographed an apparition at the Palomar Inn in Old Town Temecula, California. The following year, the online magazine, The Verge, published an article on his paranormal experiences at the Aztec Hotel in Monrovia, California. Craig Owens has now gained notoriety for his photography and his passion for historical research. He has also appeared in other people’s books, including Gourmet Ghosts 2 by James T. Bartlett and Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places by Colin Dickey. He has also been featured in articles published on Los Angeles Magazine and NBC Los Angeles. While he firmly believes that ghosts exist, he is reluctant to accept all paranormal stories. He instead approaches the subject with a good deal of skepticism, preferring to err on the side of not believing enough. He also encourages his readers to form their own opinions as to whether ghosts are real, and warns people not to believe in ghost legends unless the legends are supported by historical fact.   https://bizarrela.com https://www.facebook.com/bizarrelosangeles     About Haunted By History, Volume 1 Haunted by History, Volume I, by Craig Owens uncovers little known facts about eight prominent historic hotels in Southern California and the origins behind many of their ghost stories. Not only does his well-documented research separate facts from fiction, but Owens also keeps the subject matter interesting by interweaving historic photos with his own elaborately staged Old Hollywood-style photos shot in the most haunted rooms, hallways, and lobbies. This unique book blends solid research, fascinating insights, and haunting photography that will appeal to believers and non-believers alike. Hotels and inns featured in Vol. 1 are the Hotel del Coronado, Victorian Rose Bed & Breakfast, Julian Gold Rush Hotel, Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, Alexandria Hotel, Wyndham Garden Pierpont Inn, Banning House Lodge, and Glen Tavern Inn. https://www.amazon.com/Haunted-History-Separating-Historic-California/dp/0997688106

Colin Dicky’s book Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places is hands down one of the finest books to grace the market in years. It needs to be a staple in everyone’s paranormal library. Check out the book description and bio below. Book Description: Colin Dickey is on the trail of America’s ghosts. Crammed into old houses and hotels, abandoned prisons and empty hospitals, the spirits that linger continue to capture our collective imagination, but why? His own fascination piqued by a house hunt in Los Angeles that revealed derelict foreclosures and “zombie homes,” Dickey embarks on a journey across the continental United States to decode and unpack the American history repressed in our most famous haunted places. Some have established reputations as “the most haunted mansion in America,” or “the most haunted prison”; others, like the haunted Indian burial grounds in West Virginia, evoke memories from the past our collective nation tries to forget. With boundless curiosity, Dickey conjures the dead by focusing on questions of the living—how do we, the living, deal with stories about ghosts, and how do we inhabit and move through spaces that have been deemed, for whatever reason, haunted? Paying attention not only to the true facts behind a ghost story but also to the ways in which changes to those facts are made—and why those changes are made—Dickey paints a version of American history left out of the textbooks, one of the things left undone, crimes left unsolved. Spellbinding, scary, and wickedly insightful, Ghostland discovers the past we’re most afraid to speak of aloud in the bright light of day is the same past that tends to linger in the ghost stories we whisper in the dark. Colin Dickey grew up in San Jose, California, a few miles from the Winchester Mystery House, the most haunted house in America. As a writer, speaker, and academic, he has made a career out of collecting unusual objects and hidden histories all over the country. He’s a regular contributor to the LA Review of Books and Lapham’s Quarterly and is the co-editor (with Joanna Ebenstein) of The Morbid Anatomy Anthology. He is also a member of the Order of the Good Death, a collective of artists, writers, and death industry professionals interested in improving the Western world’s relationship with mortality. With a PhD in comparative literature from the University of Southern California, he is an associate professor of creative writing at National University.

Colin Dickey traveled around America investigating some of the most famous and some not-so-famous hauntings how they got their start and to get an idea of what they mean to people in those regions. He's written a book titled "Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places." He spoke with KGMI's Joe Teehan about his adventures.

In this episode of “Get Outta Here,” AP Travel editor Beth Harpaz talks about haunted houses with Colin Dickey, author of “Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places.” Whether or not you believe in ghosts, haunted house tours offer a lot more than entertainment or unexplained phenomena. They reveal unsettling chapters of history, telling stories about people who lived tragic lives or who didn’t quite fit in. They sometimes showcase unusual architecture: a Gothic monstrosity or mansion whose owner built lots of strange additions. They also bring needed tourism dollars to fund preservation of historic sites.

Colin Dickey is the guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is the author of several books including Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places. During this week's show Chauncey and Colin channel the Art Bell show as they discuss hauntings and collective memory, why skepticism is a requirement, the Winchester ghost sightings, the TV show American Horror Story, Native American burial grounds, as well as the color line, slavery and the spectral imagination. Colin and Chauncey also debate the merits of the recent Ghostbusters reboot and the very problematic gender politics of the original film.  During this week's podcast, Chauncey talks about his trip home to see Mama DeVega for her birthday, what it was like to shoot an AR-15 at the gun range, and offers an assessment of the recent revelations about the traitors in the Trump White House. Chauncey also does a little research and shares an audio recording of a former black American slave telling the WPA project the ghost stories he learned as a child.
