The Ghost Furnace - Episode 171 "Crossroads" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace we take a look at the intersection of True Crime and Folklore. There is certainly a Venn diagram of the audiences for these subjects, but also the stories and their impacts on our culture. It's easy to look at stories in silo's or existing in one category but not another. If we can remember to use both of these perspectives, we often find a deeper understanding of an event and its effects.
The Ghost Furnace Episode 170 "Weird Tales from Western Maryland w/ Susan Fair" This week we welcome back our friend and author Susan Fair to talk about her new book "Weird Tales from Western Maryland". This book really does have something for everyone. Are you looking for a new cryptid? Haunted Hotels? Ghost Roads? Venomous snakes? We got you covered. For an area only covering a few counties, there is an absolute wealth of stories that inform us about how things used to be, and spoiler alert, they weren't what you'd expect. All this is delivered in Susan's signature prose which makes this content both intellectually stimulating for the seasoned paranormal or folkloric reader, or someone looking for a fun read on some really wild topics. You can find Susan's latest along with her other titles, wherever fine books are sold.
On this episode of the Ghost Furnace, we start our film experiment down at a local park which has a storied history of activity. This particular way of supposedly making contact with the other side comes from an old John Keel book and also a more contemporary piece of parapsychological work called the Scole Experiment. We took some cues from both and added some of our own nuance. Though, like most experiments, even if it is wildly successful, it will likely do little to sway the hearts and minds of the masses. So at best, it will be a data point in the never ending pursuit of the Other, and at least, it was a literal walk in the park.
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 168 "Ghost Light no.9 - Knock Knock" This week's episode is a ghost light, we were originally going to simply prep for our upcoming experiment in a local park. However, there was some recent activity we thought we would share with everyone. Sometimes determining if something is paranormal in origin or simply a mundane coincidence, is all about context.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 167 "Ghost Writers" This week we share an old Dr. PA episode which we feel is relevant to the season ahead. It's hard pinning down where stories come from, especially in a small town. We've added and retracted plenty ourselves over the years. Things we thought were gospel truth, only to find contemporary sources that contradict the accepted narrative. Yet others, we thought HAD to be completely made up, giving us pause at the threshold of the unknown.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 166 "After Death Communication" We are joined this week by our good friend, and Ghost Furnace veteran, Brian to do a proper deep dive into a subject he is uniquely informed on. Everyone has lost loved ones. Even in the least tragic situations, it can still be a shattering experience. There are lots of healthy, and unhealthy ways to process these losses. One element which can help, is finding a sense of continued connection to a loved one. Which can mean carrying on a tradition, or adding some remembrance to your daily life. Many people, apparently 30-50% statistically, receive another kind of continued connection through the many forms of after death communication with their past loved ones. We delve into those stories, what might be happening and how it can help those left behind. 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 165 "Spirit Communication" On this week's episode we ask some fundamental questions about spirit communication and its distinction from channeling. When using tools while ghost hunting such as pendulums, dowsing, or ouiji are the spirits acting on those objects, or on us? Being safe and comfortable has to play a roll in the effectiveness of these communications, just like with the living. This conversation leads to us kicking off an experiment we'll be returning to in the future, regardless of the results. If you have a story you'd like to share, or a story you'd like us to research, you can find us on YouTube, Instagram or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 164 "Lost & Found" On this week's episode, we share a recent family story with a happy ending, to try and reset the vibe on some of the darker content we've had this summer. There is something about things coming in threes. When it comes to the paranormal, it's no different. Often times when we have recurring sightings, multiple witnesses, angels, or synchronicities, it does FEEL like an accumulation of assurance is happening that what we are experiencing is really happening the way we've imagined. Regardless of the accuracy of our assessment of the mechanism in these strange moments, they do seem to turn into the best stories.
