Sky Canada Project
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 130 "Sky Canada Project" This week we look at a fascinating, and remarkably well put together report on the state of UPA reporting in Canada. They do an excellent job laying out the elements in the databases and reporting that work, and what they lack. Then make some very sound recommendations on how we can all benefit from centralized reporting to better study the wide variety of phenomena and bring together the disparate groups to further everyone's understanding. Here is a link to the full report: ...

Hell Money
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 129 "Hell Money" On this week's episode we are reunited to chat around some feedback from the last few weeks we wanted to share with everyone. Then Nic has a story from the other side of the globe which sounds eerily familiar to stories we have spoken about before. But what are hungry ghosts and what does hell money have to do with this? We'll learn together. If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram, YouTube and [email protected]

Thwarted
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 127 "Thwarted" Due to some unexplainable technical difficulties, we were unable to record the UAP related show we had planned. However, we wanted to make sure you all got a full length episode to help get you through the dog days of summer. So, we have a compilation of three Dr. PA episodes which were recorded around the same time in 2020. These are three of my favorites and all have elements we have touched on during previous Ghost Furnace episodes. If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram, YouTube and...

The Seneca Drums
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 126 - "The Seneca Drums" On this episode we head to the beautiful finger lakes of update New York. Among the picturesque scenery we have the setting for a bonafide scientific mystery, the Seneca Drums. These unaccounted for booms are labeled as everything from sky quakes, seismic activity, geologic gas, distant thunder and everything in between. But what is the source of the loud noises that pierce the otherwise tranquil landscape? Scientific conjecture seems to be coming up short. Or, does this deep lake hold even more secrets? ...

Big Cat Bonanza
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 125 "Big Cat Bonanza" The only thing better than a cat is a big cat right? Well, that might be the case the majority of the time, but not so much if you are a resident, farmer or sheep in England. On this episode, we look at the big cat phenomena that has been developing and shifting over the last hundred years, or longer, in England's countryside. The unique element to this apparent cryptid is the scope and depth of the evidence, stories and investigations which have taken place over the years. Attacks, sightings and physical evidence leave a lot...

Brinton Lodge
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 124 "Brinton Lodge" This week we have our latest edition to our unofficial "Haunted taverns of Pennsylvania" series. The Brinton Lodge has an impressive history regarding both its context in local affairs and as a seasoned paranormal hotspot. When you find a place like this that checks so many of the typical boxes, does that signal that it is legitimately haunted, or that it's merely collected every trope our collective consciousness can throw at it? If you have a story you'd like to share, please reach out to us on Instagram,...

Infrasound
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 123 - Ghost Lite No.9 "Infrasound" Do you ever just get a bad feeling in a place that, otherwise, seems perfectly normal? Well there are myriad reasons this feeling could be creeping into your bones, maybe there is a discarnate entity nearby, perhaps you're hanging out above a layline, or maybe there is a much more mundane source. In this ghost lite we look at the research of a engineer who may foil (pun intended) the spectral origins to those feelings. Here are the links to the articles we reference this week, highly recommend...

The Albatwitch
The Ghost Furnace Podcast
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 122 "The Albatwitch" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace we head out to the eastern part of the commonwealth to a beautiful ridge called Chickies Rock to take a closer look at recent sightings of one of the strangest denizens in a place full of weirdness. The albatwitch often gets categorized as juvenile bigfoot, a curious mark in history, or merely the subject of local tourism, but might this small creature be hiding some large revelations about the world around us and our place in it? If you have a story you'd...
info_outlineThe Ghost Furnace - Episode 128 “The Legendary & Historic Johannes Kelpius w/ Timothy Grieve-Carlson”

This is a conversation I’ve been wanting to have since first reading his book “American Aurora: Environment and Apocalypse in the Life of Johannes Kelpius” last year.
