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.

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...
