Pat explores the history of the University of Notre Dame. Originally belonging to the Miami tribe and then later the Potawatomi tribe, the land was eventually taken over by French Catholic priests looking to start a school. He also talks about the fire in 1879 and how it rebuilt. And we can’t talk about Notre Dame without talking Fighting Irish football and it’s two most famous players, George “Gipper” Gipp and Rudy.

Rebecca and Pat debate if the University of Notre Dame is haunted. While many believe that the Gipper haunts Washington Hall, there are other candidates as well. Several people have also claimed to see Father Sorin’s ghost in several buildings over the years. What do you believe?

Pat explores the history of Estes Park and the Stanley Hotel. Freelan Stanley stayed in the Estes Park area while recovering from tuberculosis. This inspired him to build a hotel for others to receive the same benefits. Several famous guests have stayed at the hotel. One of the most famous was Stephen King, who was inspired to write The Shining after spending the night there in 1974. Listen to hear more #PatFacts about the hotel and how it has gained its reputation as one of the world’s most haunted hotels.

Listen to Rebecca and Pat debate if the hotel is haunted. Visitors report at least 12 ghosts, including Freelan and his wife Flora Stanley; Mrs. Wilson, the housekeeper who still cleans; and Paul, the caretaker who still ushers out those who stay out past opening in the Concert Hall.

“Pat Facts” and “Ghost Story” themes by Mondo

Are near death experiences paranormal? Pat and Rebecca explore the phenomena of near-death experiences (NDE). After exploring the history of incidents as well as what forms they take, we debate whether NDEs can be explained by science or if they are glimpses into the great beyond.

What is a near death experience? How common are NDEs? How long have they been reported? Have there been any scientific studies of the NDE phenomena? What does science say about NDE? What do psychologists say? Are there different types of near-death experiences? Are any of the NDE experiences more paranormal than others? Do NDEs show people a glimpse of what will happen when they die?

Is the Annabelle doll possessed?  Pat and Rebecca are joined by listener-favorite guest Bob from Bob After Dark to explore the stories about the world’s most haunted doll, Annabelle, who spawned three movies. One of Ed and Lorraine Warren’s most famous cases, Annabelle is surrounded by tales of teleportation, materialization, and demon claw marks. But are they true?

What is the history of the Annabelle doll? Who are the nurses that claimed she was possessed? When did Ed and Lorraine Warren get involved? What did these paranormal investigator’s do? Why is Annabelle locked in a wooden case? Did Annabelle escape from the Warren’s Occult Museum? What happens to people that mock her, and does that mean she is possessed? How similar are the movies to the real story? Does a demonic presence live in Annabelle?

In this surprise bonus episode, Pat and Rebecca are joined by mind reader, mentalist, and psychic entertainer Jacob Mayfield for a 2021 reading for Ghostly! Jacob uses home divination techniques that anyone can use without special knowledge (dice, palm reading, and cards). We hope listeners will enjoy doing some fortune-telling themselves using Jacob’s amazing resources (see below). Will Ghostly’s readings come true?

This technique dates back to Ancient Egypt and Greece. It is still popular with certain populations in Africa today and is very easy to do with the help of the text below. Make a circle on the ground, take 3 dice, roll them in the circle, and interpret.

The Ultimate Guide to Divination by Liz Dean: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1592337783/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ghostlypodcas-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1592337783&linkId=6a9f044058542c7ad93e0496494c5400

Palmistry is most likely the oldest form of divination in our episode. We see strong evidence of it starting in Ancient China and India and traveling to Ancient Greece. The popularity of chiromancy has gone up and down over the centuries, but overall has remained.

If you want to learn more about Palmistry, Jacob is currently doing a class called “Palmistry 101” through the event app and website Fever. It is a one-hour class where you learn to read your own palm via a Zoom webinar. More will be added soon. Register here: https://feverup.com/m/93538

playing cards. Some New Age or Occult books will claim that cartomancy dates back to antiquity and nearly coincides with the invention of playing cards. However, at least in Europe, we see it around the 14th century.

As a special gift to Ghostly Listeners, Jacob has made a PDF guide for listeners. It is totally free to download from his website as a secret link: www.mayfieldmagic.com/gift

Pat asks Jacob to do a reading for all of us in 2021. He pulls one card – and it’s pretty interesting and exciting!

What would an appearance with Jacob Mayfield be without a contest? Jacob currently hosts an hour-long class called “Palmistry 101” with the event app Fever. The event is a Zoom webinar and can be enjoyed anywhere. Price of entry is per device and we are giving out 2 tickets.

How to enter: Follow Mayfield on instagram @MayfieldMagic, and find the photo for this episode. Follow Mayfield, like the episode photo, and comment with which form of divination was your favorite from the episode and why. Winners will be selected January 8th, 2021.

Rebecca found a collection of ghost stories sent in by locals in 1914 to two collectors of Irish paranormal tales (are they truth or fiction?). Hear about the haunted Barracks and the multiple ghost stories told by a police constable.

Is the Kennedy family cursed?  Pat and Rebecca take a deep dive into the tragedies of the Kennedy family. While most are aware of JFK and RFK’s stories, many may not be aware of the continuing heartbreak of the Kennedys, even to today. The question is…are they cursed?

What is the history of the Kennedy family in the United States? What happened to Joe Kennedy Jr. that led to the rise of John F. Kennedy? How long have the Kennedys been involved in politics? Besides the assassinations of JFK and Robert F. Kennedy, how many other Kennedys have died prematurely? Who are the others and what happened to them? Why do some think this is a curse? Do some members of the family believe in the curse? Is the family curse real?

Pat dives into the fascinating history of the Kennedy family. Starting in Ireland, Pat traces the how the family arrived in the United States and rose to being the first unofficial royalty in America. He walks us through the tragedies that are both well known and less known.  

Rebecca and Pat debate whether the Kennedy family is cursed. So many have died or barely escaped death for over 40 years. The most recent was just this past summer. Are these just a series of unfortunate events or are they a result of a curse?
