March 20, 2019 011 Curse on The Omen
In Ghostly’s eleventh episode, Pat
and Rebecca explore the curse that plagued the filming of the 1976 movie The Omen. Before, during, and after the
making of The Omen, many bad things
happened. Were these the result of a curse?
Questions explored in this episode: What was happening during the time this movie was made? What is the movie about? What incidents happened during the movie, as well as before and after? Does the devil haunt this movie? Are these events based on a curse?
Damien in a cemetery
In this episode, Pat gives the history of the movie and how it got made while giving some interesting casting information as well. Then Rebecca tells the creepy stories associated with this movie and explains why they were so unusual.
Omen movie poster
Here is a list of the incidents…listen for more details!
• The man who had the idea for the movie as well as the producer both predicted it would be cursed.
• Lightning struck three people associated with the movie and almost hit a forth
• Several people from the movie narrowly escaped IRA bombings
• An animal trainer for one scene died
• A pack of dogs used in another scene attacked a stuntman
• Car crash that happened right after the movie mimicked a death scene from the movie.
And a few that we didn’t have time to mention!
• Gregory Peck, the movie’s main star, suffered the loss of his son two months before making the movie. In the movie, he plays a father who finds out his son is possibly the Anti-Christ and he has to decide if he’s going to kill him.
• Another stuntman from the movie felt he was “pushed” off a building on the next movie he filmed, almost killing him.
The Omen Damien’s Mother
And, as always, Pat and Rebecca
debate what is fact and what is fiction in these stories. Listen to both sides
and decide what you believe. They go through each one, debating the evidence.
Be sure to listen for the “Closing Arguments” to help you make your choice.

In Ghostly’s tenth episode, Pat and
Rebecca explore one of Chicago’s most tragic stories, the Iroquois Theater

600 people died. With all this tragedy, do spirits still linger in this place?

Questions explored in this episode: What

upset with their fate? Did anyone go to jail for this fire?

December 26, 2018 005 Paranormal Illumination Society
The life of a paranormal investigator is fascinating. Holly gives all the details on what it’s like to be a ghost hunter, traveling around to haunted houses and places, helping those that are troubled by spirits. She explains the best techniques for communicating with ghosts and how to make sure they don’t come home with you. There’s a lot more to the job of a Paranormal Investigator than you might think!
Holly also goes through all the different equipment they use and how it works. It’s a good thing, too, because the stories Ghostly has coming up in the new year definitely might involve some of this equipment! And, it’s great to have the perspective of a Paranormal Investigator from time to time.
Also included in this episode are
poll results from our previous episode on Christmas Ghost Stories (check it out

December 12, 2018 004 In the Spirit of Christmas
In Ghostly’s fourth episode, Pat and Rebecca revive an old English tradition lost over the years, Christmas ghost stories. They, along with Pat’s friend Mondo, share three Christmas ghost tales guaranteed to make the listener want to curl up in front of the fire with a cup of hot chocolate while being transported to the Christmas spirit realm.
Telling these stories was tradition for many years not just around Halloween, but also around the holidays. As far back as Shakespeare, the English told ghost stories to celebrate the Christmas season (it’s not a coincidence that A Christmas Carol, a ghost story, is one of the most famous holiday stories). The American Puritans stopped this tradition, but now Ghostly is bring it back. Read this Smithsonian article to learn more about the tradition.
Highwayman and Doctor Syntax
Mondo tells the first story, “The Highwayman of Kent.” Learn the history of highwaymen before hearing the terrifying tale of a father, his daughter, and their encounter late one Christmas Eve with a highwayman up to no good.
View of Bramshill from George Prosser Select Illustrations of Hampshire (1834-39) Rare Books Cope quarto 91.5
The Mistletoe Bride
Rebecca tells our second legend, set in Victorian England. “The Mistletoe Bride” is a special Christmas story of a wedding gone very, very wrong. Learn about one of the most haunted homes in Britain and about old English wedding traditions before hearing about the fate of the mistletoe bride!

In our third and final tale, Pat brings us back to Chicago and the story of “Captain Santa and the Christmas Ship.” Hear the fascinating history of Captain Herman E. Schuenemann and his Christmas tree business in downtown Chicago. Then listen to the tragic story of what happened to the captain and his ship one fateful trip on Lake Michigan.
Also included in this episode are poll results from our previous episode on Bachelor’s Grove (check it out here if you haven’t had a chance to listen yet).

November 28, 2018 003 Bachelor’s Grove

In Ghostly’s third episode, Pat and Rebecca explore one of the most famous and potentially haunted cemeteries in America, or possibly even in the world: Bachelor’s Grove in Cook County, Illinois. Bachelor’s Grove is both a cemetery and a part of the Rubio Woods Forest Preserve. Listen to this episode to learn about this mysterious place. A warning before listening – this show has a high creepiness factor!

Questions explored in this episode: What are some of the most famous ghost stories told about Bachelor’s Grove? What can we learn from the history of the land? How did the area get its name? What compelling evidence have people shared to prove Bachelor’s Grove is haunted? What eerie experiences did Pat and Rebecca have themselves while visiting Bachelor’s Grove? And the big one: Is Bachelor’s Grove a haunted place?

Infant Daughter Grave

To help you decide whether or not Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery is haunted, there are also several special interviews. In one, Holly from the Paranormal Illumination Society gives advice on how to have a good experience when visiting a place rumored to be haunted. In another, Karl and Wendy from thepathtobachelorsgrove.com share their personal experience and knowledge about Bachelor’s Grove.

In his interview, Karl mentions a famous picture of the Lady in White, or the Madonna of Bachelor’s Grove. Rebecca and Pat also discuss the picture. The paranormal photo was taken by Judy Huff of the Paranormal Research Society in 1991.

Photo taken on Pat and Rebecca’s visit

Paranormal Research Society Photo

Rebecca needs your help in examining three photos she took while in the woods. In the first two, you’ll notice a red object in the upper right-hand corner, but in the third, it’s missing. What is this object? Is it a real thing? An orb? If it’s real, who put it there, so high up? Why is it missing in the third photo? Why is it red? What could cause this to happen?

November 14, 2018 002 The Italian Bride
Julia Buccola Letta – The Italian Bride
In Ghostly’s second episode, Pat and Rebecca explore the story of the Italian Bride. Julia Buccola Petta’s tragic story extends beyond her death during childbirth at the age of 29. After her original burial in Mount Caramel Cemetery, her mother, Filomena, claims to have been visited by Julia’s ghost in her dreams, telling her mother to disinter her body. What happened after her mother dug up her daughter’s body? What do the pictures tell us? What role can science play in explaining what happened? What can we learn from her family? Did her spirit really haunt her mother? Does her spirit still haunt the cemetery and nearby high school? Join Ghostly as we explore the history and attempt to answer these questions on our second episode, The Italian Bride.
Wedding Day
6 Years After Death
Also included in this episode is the discussion of the history of Mount Caramel cemetery, embalming, and some other post-death information that may be a little…unpleasant…but in the best, creepy way.
