Ghouls About Town episodes

  • Lex's New Tattoo Buddy: Dunbar, WV

    It's episode 64 and the ghouls are riding in to Dunbar, WV! To open the episode we're reviewing cookies made with chocolate, caramel, nuts, and... cheese?! And since we're in West Virginia we get to hear from our good friend TRI-STATE THERESA!!! We also bear news of a cryptid that is deathly afraid of Yukki the dog. Then it's off to the Mordecai House in Raleigh, NC! Spoiler alert: the name's not pronounced the way you think it is. This house can fit so many ghosts in it, including one that's been trying to scratch its way out of the wallpaper.  What is the link between Lizzie Bennet and Katniss Everdeen? We're here to piece it all together!

  • Whoa, Mama!: Savannah, GA

    It's episode 63 and to close out spooky month, the ghouls are off to Savannah, GA! We can hardly see the boundary between breakfast sandwiches and burgers over William T. Sherman's HUGE dick energy. We'd better get a ladder because we have some ghosts to meet at the Kehoe House! If you want more Savannah ghosts, check out episode 36 where we explored the Hamilton Turner Inn! Then it's off to the Grandstreet Theatre in Helene, MT for a Haunt to Go! It's haunted by a ghost of a woman everyone in the town really, really loved. Even her young students have stayed behind to write her name on the walls. Listen along as the ghouls figure out they've been Italian the whole time!

  • I Love My Daughter: Roswell, NM

    It's episode 62 and the ghouls are landing in Roswell, NM! We were just prowling around the pecan orchards of Roswell in episode 58, and it's good to be back! Pecans, mozzarella, power rangers, Demi Moore... what DOESN'T Roswell have? Lex is going to give us the full spread of the famous UFO crash of 1947. Then it's off to the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery, Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia, for a Haunt to Go! We're used to ghosts going boo to scare people, but a ghost jumping out of a window to freak out a kid is a new one. We may have miscalculated the release date of the Wicker movie, but we never miscalculate the ghosts!

  • Long Lincoln Toes: New Orleans, LA

    It's episode 61 and the ghouls are off to New Orleans, LA! We'll be getting into a historical haunt and some firsthand accounts, but first we absolutely HAVE to discuss performative pigeon lovers and the feminist implications of horses. Then it's off to Fort McNair for a Haunt to Go! What's up with ghosts and blowing in people's ears?? If you have any guesses we'd love to hear them!

This week the ghouls are off to Salem, MA, to learn all about the witch trials and a divalicious cookie business owner. Then it's off to the Tannersville Inn in Tannersville, PA for a Haunt to Go! Is that chicken possessed, or is the foundational building of a town getting demolished for a Wawa? Let's find out!

Chilmark has a lovely assortment of ghosts, Dogmen, and UFOs for us to enjoy as we muse on Lex skipping a grade and Al's dream wedding. Once we find America's clitoris, it's off to the St. Anthony Hotel in San Antonio, TX! As if dealing with living guests wasn't hard enough, employees also have to handle a PDA heavy ghost couple. Grab a couple of your favorite flavor of croquettes and hear all about it!

  • The Noble Pizza Hut Employee: Pinehurst, TX

    It's episode 58 and the ghouls are off to Pinehurst, TX! It's a very pizza-forward episode- we have a cool local pizza restaurant, Pizza Hut reviews, and our ideas for German pizzeria names. After we dish about the local ghost stories, we get to hear from our good friend Rabbit again! Then it's off to the pecan fields of Roswell, NM, for a Haunt to Go! It turns out there's way more happening in Roswell than just UFOs- these orchards have plenty of ghosts and even a goat man?? It's a supreme pizza of paranormal baddies!
