Join us as we wish O.G. a farewell for 2026.

On this episode of Chumming With The Spirits J.D. and Para-Chum sit down and discuss some of the amazing adventures and trips that J.D. has been on recently, as well as all the wonderful things that the podcast has coming up in 2026. You don't want to miss this one.

What is a ghost ship? What is a ship that is a ghost? What is a haunted ship? These are the confusing yet hilarious questions we ask during our latest episode as we delve into some very fun rabbit holes of interesting conversation about the subject. A ghost ship, also known as a phantom ship, is a vessel with no living crew aboard; it may be a fictional ghostly vessel, such as the Flying Dutchman, or a physical derelict found adrift with its crew missing or dead, like the Mary Celeste. The term is sometimes used for ships that have been decommissioned but not yet scrapped, as well as drifting boats that have been found after breaking loose of their ropes and being carried away by the wind or the waves. Typically, derelict ghost ships did not remain adrift for very long, though there have been ghost ships that have been reported to remain adrift for many years, and their fates have remained unknown, such as SS Baychimo and Governor Parr.

On this episode we talk about the world of superstitions. Superstitions are beliefs or practices, such as believing a black cat crossing your path brings bad luck, that are not based on reason or scientific fact but are often tied to feelings of luck, fate, or magic. They often arise from fear of the unknown and can provide a sense of control or comfort, even if people rationally know they aren't real. Examples include knocking on wood, avoiding the number 13, or carrying a lucky charm. What are some of your favorite superstitions?

Join us for this special Halloween edition as we discuss the Haunted Harris-Kearney House in Kansas City. It is the oldest house in Kansas City, Missouri, as well as one of the most haunted. This location is also where the Chumming With The Spirits crew first met.

Join on this fascinating episode as we delve into the mysterious Mandela Effect.

The false memory phenomenon was initially investigated by psychological pioneers Pierre Janet and Sigmund Freud.

Freud was fascinated with memory and all the ways it could be understood, used, and manipulated. Some claim that his studies have been quite influential in contemporary memory research, including the research into the field of false memory. Pierre Janet was a French neurologist also credited with great contributions into memory research. Janet contributed to false memory through his ideas on dissociation and memory retrieval through hypnosis.

In 1974, Elizabeth Loftus and John Palmer conducted a study to investigate the effects of language on the development of false memory. The experiment involved two separate studies.

In this study, the first point brought up in discussion is that the words used to phrase a question can heavily influence the response given. Second, the study indicates that the phrasing of a question can give expectations to previously ignored details, and therefore, a misconstruction of our memory recall. This indication supports false memory as an existing phenomenon.

Replications in different contexts (such as hockey games instead of car crashes) have shown that different scenarios require different framing effects to produce differing memories.

On this episode we discuss who would win in some of the most bizarre and off the cuff match ups in the comic universe. Would Doctor Strange beat Dr. Fate, would Spawn beat Ghost Rider, and many more as we venture down rabbit holes that some would say should probably not be ventured down. So sit back, grab your favorite drink and join us as we match character versus character like you've never seen before.
