Ghost Bites

In the chilling series finale of the Campfire Stories miniseries, Mike and JT are joined in the dark woods by Jen from Our True Crime Podcast for an atmospheric ghost story that quickly spirals into a real-life supernatural nightmare. When Jen introduces a vintage 1972 Parker Brothers Ouija board to set the mood, the surrounding environment drastically warps—the campfire turns a sickly violet, the August temperature plummets to freezing, and the trees bend inward to trap the hosts inside a spatial pocket dimension. They discover that they have inadvertently summoned "The Listener," an egregore born from weeks of concentrated fear poured into the woods during their storytelling. When the psychic entity demands a terrifying story in exchange for their lives, the trio realizes traditional horror won't work and instead collaborates to creatively "unmake" the monster. By combining Jen's clinical true crime profiling, Mike's grounding nature imagery, and JT's weaponized mundane dread—featuring the ultimate horror of an IRS audit and being stuck on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in a broken U-Haul—they manage to confuse the creature enough for Mike to "beard-smack" it into oblivion. The thrilling finale also features a spooky cameo by Ed from Octoberpod AM, wrapping up an unforgettable summer for the Brew Crime Podcast production.

This week around the campfire, Mike and JT are joined by Javier Leiva from The Pretend Podcast to investigate the ultimate fraud: an incompetent 1980s ghost trying desperately to fake his way into poltergeist status. Between botched UHF television broadcasts and an accidental portal that summons an enraged suburban raccoon instead of the cosmic abyss, this spectral amateur quickly proves he's more of a domestic nuisance than a demon. Tune in to find out what happens when you try to "fake it till you make it" in the afterlife—and accidentally get the attention of the real horrors lurking in the void!

In this spine-chilling episode of Ghost Bites, Mike, JT, and resident wrestling expert Joanna dive headfirst into the dark side of wrestling promoter politics and corporate greed. Transporting listeners back to 1991 at the height of the "Land of Giants" era, Joanna recounts the horrifying tale of young star Rex “The Anatomy” Armstrong and Titan Global's ruthless promoter, Victor Monarch. Hoping to craft the ultimate champion, Monarch forces Rex to strap on a sinister prototype belt—a pulsing, biological entity that fuses with his flesh, grants unnatural power, and forces him to wreak terrifying violence against his will. Blending dark corporate satire, gruesome body horror, and an incredible in-character wrestler promo, this episode serves as a haunting reminder that in the world of professional wrestling, the machine is always hungry .

Welcome back to the Ghost Bites Campfire Stories miniseries, where hosts Mike and JT broadcast from a deeply unsettling, acoustically dead forest. This week, they are joined by special guest Jayme—the mastermind behind the show’s haunting theme song—who shares a chilling tale of the gig economy gone cosmically wrong. Set in 2014, the story follows a desperate garage rock trio called The Neon Veins who accept a suspicious five-thousand-dollar gig at an unmapped Cascades slaughterhouse known as "The Sanguine Room". The band soon realizes their silent, translucent audience isn't there to listen, but rather to feed on their creative life force as interdimensional "audio vampires". To escape being completely drained by the sinister promoter Mr. Vale and his shadow-creature patrons, the band must weaponize pure, ear-splitting punk rock feedback.

Pull up a log and grab a roasting skewer! We're back around the fire for another chilling installment of our summer series, Campfire Tales. This week, Mike and JT are joined by our friend from up north, the host of the incredible Dark Poutine podcast Mike.

JT has always been deeply suspicious of how polite Canadians are—convinced it's an elaborate cover for something far more sinister—and this episode's story might just prove his paranoia completely right. We’re heading into the dense, dark woods of Northern Ontario to uncover the unsettling legend of "The Curds of Orono Creek." What starts as a simple, mouth-watering local dish takes a horrifying turn in this bizarre tale of culinary curses, strange town secrets, and a haunting that will make you think twice before ordering your next plate of fries and gravy.

Episode Highlights:

JT explains his complex theory on why you can never truly trust a country whose national animal is a beaver.

A guest appearance by the host of Dark Poutine, bringing authentic Canadian chills and true-crime expertise to the campfire.

The terrifying legend of Orono Creek, proving that sometimes, the local comfort food bites back.

Welcome back to the fire for the second installment of our summer series, Campfire Tales! JT is taking the ambiance very seriously this week, having brought his own cedar firewood—even if it makes our digital campfire smell like a gerbil cage.

For this episode, we’re thrilled to be joined by Jen one of the hosts of Our True Crime Podcast (OTCP). As experts in the worst of humanity, they brought a deeply unsettling story that perfectly blends true crime with the paranormal.

What starts as an innocent conversation about hobbies takes a very dark turn. Lanie and Camille introduce us to Elias Thorne, a quiet Ohio man with a terrifying talent for taxidermy. Elias didn't mount typical game animals; instead, he targeted the neighborhood's missing pets, stuffing them and posing them in bizarre, human-like scenarios. But his twisted "Stuffed Menagerie" escalated far beyond the local cat population. When a teenager named Chloe went missing, a police search of Elias's home uncovered a hidden room and a horrifying Victorian parlor scene.

Episode Highlights:

JT reveals his primary hobby: aggressively organizing his Tupperware.

A dive into a macabre collection that JT accurately describes as "'Dogs Playing Poker' but a felony."

The chilling discovery inside Elias Thorne's hidden room, and the chilling note he left behind after disappearing.

The eerie paranormal activity reported by the home's new owners, featuring scratching, tiny bells, and a girl's voice asking, "More tea?"
