Ghostly

In Ghostly’s debut episode, Pat and Rebecca explore the legend of Resurrection Mary.  The stories regarding Mary and her many hauntings stretch back to the 1930’s (or maybe even further back…)  Join us as we tell her story and debate what is fact and what is fiction.  Who was she?  Does she really haunt Archer Avenue?  How does her tale fit not only with Chicago’s history but also the “Vanishing Hitchhiker” legend?  Find out our answers to these questions and more on this first full episode of Ghostly podcast!

Archer Avenue is known as being one of the most haunted roads in all of the world. Mary is one of its many stories. But, can the story of Resurrection Mary really stand up to debate? This is what Pat and Rebecca set out to find out in Ghostly’s first episode ever.

We look into all the possible Mary’s throughout Resurrection Cemetery. She may not be who you think she is. This legend might somehow even pre-date the famous Mary’s that we mention. Mary, might not even be the name of this ghost. This is what is talked about in this episode, as well as so much more.

Who is this Mary of Resurrection Cemetery? Does she still haunt Archer Avenue? Are there stories about other hitchhikers that may haunt the world? How old was Mary? Did she die on her Birthday? What about the man that went to her parent’s house only to find out that she had died many years before?

Resurrection Mary is one of the Ghost Stories all Chicagoland area kids learn about. She has been the subject of many books, tv shows, and even movies.

There are many different versions of Mary’s story. Did she get into an accident after having a fight with her boyfriend at the now burned down Willowbrook Ballroom? Or, was she buried in Resurrection Cemetery? The different Mary’s have very different stories.

While Rebecca is away, Patrick decided to upload a sneak peek preview into all that is Ghostly.

Since Episode One will not be out until Halloween, I thought I’d give you a little taste of what we are doing with this preview episode. Not every episode will be done the same way. We are able to do interviews for this episode because they are close to where we are located.

Special thanks to the people that allowed us to interview them for this preview episode:

Stephen Dakota, Lynn Martin, and Mallory Carroll tell us if they believe in ghosts and why.

At a Coffee House near the location of the famed Willbrook Ball Room. (We don’t want to promote this business as the Barista was not very nice to us.) We really enjoyed our interview with Carli Rodack and Buddy. This is just a preview of what you will find in our first episode.

Austin Rivers for all the help setting everything up and coming along with us for the interviews. And, for shooting video (more on this in a later post).

Last, but not least by any means the amazing Michael Rivers for finding and performing our beautiful but creepy Intro and Outro music. He is so talented. Ghostly would not sound as good without him.

This is our trailer. 

We introduce ourselves and tell you what Ghostly will be about in our trailer episode.

Ghostly is more than just a debate. It is a deep dive into the history of some of the world’s scariest ghost stories. The trailer is to let you know what you are getting yourself into. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

We explore each ghost story and try to get to the bottom of it. We present the evidence of the people that believe in the ghost story and then we try to find out if there could be a scientific reason for its existence.

Ghostly shows us all that we can have a civilized conversation with people that have different views than our own.

Music is:

III. Allegro moderato from Gargoyles
