S3 Ep13: SPECIAL PRESENTATION: Gods, Ghosts and UFOs
Today I’m excited to bring you an episode of the brilliant new podcast Gods, Ghosts & UFOs – with their special guest, ME! You’ll recognize co-host Tom Maxwell from his appearances on Astonishing Legends Episodes 291 & 292, “American Bloodfalls”. (You might also know him as the frontman for the 90s band Squirrel Nut Zippers. He wrote their hit song “Hell”).
On Gods, Ghosts & UFOs, Tom – along with co-hosts J.E. Peterson and Mallory Everton – does a weekly round-up of weird and obscure paranormal news stories. Their conversations are hilarious, probing, provocative – and refreshingly intelligent. If you’re a fan of RHPB, Astonishing Legends and Scared All The Time, you’ll love this too. So enjoy this episode where they welcomed me as their guest – and we talk about haunted Las Vegas Casinos, the Fresno Night Crawlers and a YouTube UFO mystery that might already have been solved…

S3 Ep12: SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE: The Mammoth Mountain Poltergeist with Jenny Ashford and Tom Ross
“I feel that it hates me sometimes. It can move objects. I heard it speak once, or try to speak. It sounded like somebody underneath the water. It’s never really touched me and I don’t want to see what it actually looks like. I was afraid it was going to look like a corpse.” -- Tom Ross, poltergeist experiencer.
Have you ever heard someone describe what it’s really like to live with a poltergeist? Today you will. When Tom Ross was thirteen, he spent four terrifying days in what seemed to be a haunted condo in the Mammoth Ski Valley. Years later, he and author Jenny Ashford met, fell in love – and ended up writing about his experiences in a book I covered in Season 2 of RHPB – The Mammoth Mountain Poltergeist.
In this fascinating interview, Tom Ross and Jenny Ashford share stories from the front lines of the boundary between this world and the next. We talk about everything from how Tom and Jenny met, to The Shining, to Tom’s poltergeist theory, to Ed & Lorraine Warren, to The Enfield Poltergeist, to flying remote controls, to Mad Max: Fury Road, to “Case Managers from the Afterlife” and finally: what do you do with a poltergeist with unlimited strength -- that wants to kill you?

S3 Ep11: SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE: UFOs and High Strangeness with Rob Kristoffersen
“When I was six years old, on Christmas Eve, I had an encounter with a little gnome that walked into my bedroom. I don’t recall any fear. But after that, I don’t remember anything.” – Rob Kristoffersen
Rob Kristoffersen is not only an expert on UFOs and UFO cases and host of the Our Strange Skies podcast – he’s also one of my best friends. In this wide-ranging interview we get progressively weirder and wilder, touching on everything from Bigfoot to elves to ghosts to crop circles to UFO cults to alien abductions – and all the way to the mysterious creature Rob saw on his neighbor’s lawn that completely changed his life.

S3 Ep10: The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts - Part Two
“They’re demons. You’re talking to demons. And I don’t like the sound of it one bit.” -- The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts
Joe Fisher falls further into darkness as he attempts to prove the earthly existences of his spirit guides. But once he realizes that his otherworldly lover Filipa has lied to him, all bets are off. A late-night meeting with a friend who warns Joe about “the other side of the spirit guides” puts the communications he’s been receiving in a new -- and terrifying -- light. The only remaining question is: can Joe get out in time to save himself?
Meanwhile, Richard makes some discoveries of his own about his best friend Michael Principato. Can a friendship survive betrayal? And can you ever really go back to high school, reclaim the past, and fix something that seems forever broken? Something that you yourself broke?

S3 Ep9: The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts - Part One
“Here, in an ordinary suburban living room in Toronto, a cynical, 42-year-old mother of three was giving voice to disembodied humans who were testifying to the fact that we do not die. And that we are never truly alone.” -- Joe Fisher, The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts
On July 20th, 1984, journalist and paranormal researcher Joe Fisher witnesses the phenomenon of channeling for the first time -- and his life changes forever. What if spirit guides really do exist? What if we all have people on the other side who watch us, love us and silently guide us in ways we cannot even begin to imagine? Joe sets out to prove this very thing. But as he embarks on this strange journey, his objectivity falters when his own personal spirit guide introduces herself: her name is Filipa -- and 300 years ago in Greece, the two of them were lovers. But as his obsession with her grows, Joe begins to suspect she might not be exactly who -- or what -- she says she is.
Richard’s life changes forever, too -- on his first day of high school. That’s when he meets the legendary Michael Principato. Michael is everything Richard wants to be: popular, talented, funny -- and effortlessly creative. Richard and Michael soon become best friends and for one magical year it’s a relationship like nothing Richard’s ever experienced before. But something happens that first summer after freshman year and suddenly Richard finds himself wondering: do I really know Michael Principato at all?
