Beechwood Farms
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 121 "Beechwood Farms" On this week's episode Bond shares a story of a weird occurrence while on a hike with friends. For how much time we spend in the woods and reportedly creepy places, it's funny how little seems to actually happen when we are looking for it. This is an example of a very likely mundane, yet perplexing little happening. Do you have a story you'd like to share? You can find us on YouTube, Instagram or [email protected]

Western Maryland Folklore w/ Susan Fair
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 120 “Western Maryland Folklore w/ Susan Fair” This week we sit down with author and researcher Susan Fair to talk about some of Western Maryland's most interesting stories. Focusing mainly on a few of the stranger creatures reported we are able to highlight both some familiar elements along with some new perspectives.

By putting these denizens of the four westernmost counties in this diverse state in context of...

The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 118 "Hairy Hands of Dartmouth" On this week's episode, we head back across the pond for more UK folklore. This time to a very specific region of Dartmouth along B3212 near Postbridge. This story has been the subject of many newspaper articles, books and conjectures going back over 100 years.

The Morgawr
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 117 "The Morgawr" This week we head back across the pond for another Cornish legend which had been sighted many times over the last 100+ years, but never decidedly identified. With so much of the ocean inaccessible by conventional means, it lends itself to stories. When you have an area where so many residents live near, work on, and love the water, it is natural that stories of unknowable beasts come to the surface. Is the Morgawr a single creature, a relic population of marine reptiles or something yet more strange? If you have a story...

Dr. PA - Lost Children of the Alleghenies
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 116 "Dr. PA - Lost Children of the Alleghenies" The week we do something a little different. 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. So we wanted to start sharing them with everyone when we have a week like this, where both of us are crazy busy and don't have time to sit down and talk spooky stories with all of you. Let...

State College Sasquatch
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 115 "State College Sasquatch" This week we look at a recent report of a bigfoot in an unlikely, and familiar location. The area along Spring Creek between State College and Bellefonte is a place we have fished many times over the years. It holds a special place in our hearts. So when we heard someone had recently reported a class A encounter, we were eager to look into the story. In many ways this is a textbook sighting, how that affects your opinion of the veracity of the story is up to interpretation. Here is a link to the BFRO report we...

Confluence
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 114 "Confluence" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace we look at two seemingly paranormal disappearances, one of Charles Ashmore and David Lang. These stories have all the hallmarks, tropes and clues that lead to conjecture of everything from aliens to other dimensions. As per usual, the thread of truth and clarity that runs through these stories isn't what we expected, but maybe should have.
