The Ghost Furnace - Episode 159 "The Keystone Hagstone w/ Timothy Renner" On this week's episode we welcome back author, podcaster, musician and artist Timothy Renner to speak about his new book "The Keystone Hagstone: Faeries and Other Mysterious Entities of Pennsylvania" This book does a fantastic job of bringing light to forgotten stories of lesser known denizens of the commonwealth. Tim digs through historical accounts to parse out new connections between the roots of those who have settled in Penn's woods and how those cultural frameworks give us a unique perspective on the Other. This is essential reading for anyone who is interested in folklore and the spookier side of the state.

Ghost Furnace Episode 158 "Cemetery Honey" On this episode we take another run at recording an on-site episode at a local historic and reportedly haunted cemetery. The first time around, we were plagued by electronic problems, this time we fared much better, but not without some weirdness.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 157 "The Problem with Disclosure" On this week's episode we look at the latest cache of UPA evidence released by the pentagon over the last month. There are a lot of documents, photos and videos to sort through, and some dedicated researchers are no doubt already pulling out the most compelling and connective files to help bolster the hypothesis that there are unexplained things in our skies, and the government knows what, and who, is behind these phenomena.... That was the story we were planning on covering this week, but after looking at the evidence, we have another conversation we need to address first: the problem with disclosure. If you have a story you'd like to share, or one you'd like us to look into, you can find us on YouTube, Instagram and TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 156 "Dr. PA - Murder Swamp" The week we go back about 10 years to a Dr. Pennsylvania episode which was probably our most graphic subject, the murder swamp. This is one of those stories that when we started digging into it, we couldn't believe it wasn't more known, or talked about. Which made us start to wonder, what other horrors were hidden in plain sight around us? If you like this kinda thing and want to listen to those old episodes of Dr. PA, they are still available on most podcast destinations, or here is the page.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 155 "Butler Paranormal Investigations" This week we are joined by our new friends Joyce, Alex, Rachel and Rebecca from Butler Paranormal Investigations. They have been at it for almost 20 years and have accumulated the knowledge, skills and stories to show for it. Over the last few years they've shifted focus to education and sharing what they've learned with the public in hopes of helping those with questions about spirits. We had a really fun conversation and think you'll all enjoy hearing about their methodology, educational, and technological approaches to this field. If you have questions, need help or want to follow along with their journey, you can find them at Instagram Facebook Butlerparanormalinvesitgations@gmail.com If you have thoughts or stories you'd like to share, you can find us on YouTube, Instagram or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com
This week we head to the center of the commonwealth, to a unique park nestled high in the Allegheny plateau. Like much of the area, its history, stories and folklore are as diverse as the ecosystems they are spawned from. In this case, the anaerobic bog, carnivorous plants and dark waters give us ghost lights, phantom hitchhikers and mysterious cryptids. The reason we are focusing on this park presently, is because last week I, (Bond), was able to attend the Hemlocks to Hellbenders Outdoor Content Creator meetup, which is put on by our good friend Christian from Hemlocks to hellbenders and held at Black Moshannon state park. We were lucky to have the event sponsored by Happy Valley Adventure Bureau along with support from the PA DNCR, PA Game Commission, Centred Outdoors and more. If you don't already support these organizations, please check them out along with folks who supplied us with PA centric goodies like Blood Rose Gettysburg, Purple Lizard Maps, and Sister Sunflowers. I was truly humbled to be among such kind, knowledgeable and enthusiastic company. I learned a lot from both the attendees and the industry professionals who were so generous with their time and expertise. I was thrilled to be able to share some of my own stories and highlight legends of the commonwealth's ghosts, cryptids and folklore that remind us we are a part of one grand tale playing out one adventure at a time.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 153 "Tri-County Terror" On this weeks episode, we start with one of our favorite stories from a local investigator Stan Gordon. A classic from 1973 that was formative early on around the correlation between UFO sightings and other strange events and, in this case, creatures. Then we touch of a few of his newer stories that fill out the spectrum of weirdness.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 152 "American Witches w/ Susan Fair" On this weeks episode we welcome back author and researcher Susan Fair. This time to talk about her book "American Witches - A Broomstick Tour through Four Centuries". We've been wanting to sit down and speak with her about this book since even before the first time she was on the show. This is such a wonderfully written book which adds just enough humor and levity to make it easy to read, while covering some truly dark periods of our history. We can't recommend this book highly enough. If you're new to this subject, it's an accessible introduction. If you're a learned scholar on how the label of witches has evolved and been used in our history, this will be a fun read. Either way, we can't recommend it enough.
