Is This a Ghost?

Must be nice to go on vacation, PATRICK. (But seriously, thanks for bringing your mic. Clayton did not have a backup plan.)

This is the story of Mary and the Mysterious Men of Rockwood Mansion. Come for the ghosts, stay for Hot Doug moves on Patrick's wife, one, two, three, etc., but you have to deal with the Amish, the appearance does not scream lilac, rich white people names, the Robert Stack School for Paranormal Nonsense, most powerful dog ghost, could just be a blues musician.

Johnny B. Bad is back as a guest star at the Mudd House in Maryland, and as usual, he's up to his old shenanigans -- goin' all HAM on presidents and order. Anyway. How's your day going?

This is the story of the Samuel Mudd House. Come for the ghosts, stay for gas station bananas, give Megan a call, positive connotations of mud, fully clothed Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Boot, assassination vaycay, and not a lot of good guys in this one.

If we had a nickel for every ghost that was made from tuberculosis, gosh, we wouldn't have to podcast ever again. Anyway, here are a few more dollars for the kitty!

This is the story of the Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Come for the ghosts, stay for zero IT interns, basement brothers, are you gonna do more sedition?, I was guessing pope, a tuberculosis hospital for the sick and curious, and one star, did not like, family drove away with changeling.

All my rowdy poltergeists are coming over tonight! And that's where Hank Jr. got his famous line. Wow, the family tree just unspools and unspools, and suddenly there's nothing left but an old guitar on a sad barroom floor. What were we talking about?

This is the story of Hank Williams. Come for the ghost, stay for flip him like a piggy bank, coquina theory, broad-boned frost giant, punching down quite literally, Wes Anderson music label, bolos and YOLOs, that's a pH joke, and our lawyers are terrible.

Hey, folks! Clayton here. Listen, I completely forgot I had a weekly podcast that I've been doing for the last 3+ years and didn't prepare any notes for this one. That is what we call in the podcast industry a whoopsie. What I can tell you is that this episode is born from my and Patrick's recently lived experience. What I can also tell you is the ITAG interns are so mad at me for not remembering we had to drop a podcast episode this week.

This is the story of Six Flags Over Texas! Come for the ghost, stay for some other great stuff! I don't know, this goes live in like eight minutes.

This isn't about a group of Irishmen, it's another nautical adventure! Get ready.

This is the story of the SS The Sullivans. Come for the ghosts, stay for Annebelle on the lam, a whole lotta aliteration, blessedly unencumbered brothers, cornfield kisses, jacked hotdogs, no more siblings on ships, and paying Matt Damon by the second.

You like big boats and you cannot lie. So here's another one. You're welcome.

This is the story of the SS Great Britain. Come for the ghosts, stay for Patrick mouth kisses cat, an interview with John Wilkes Booth, it's just a necrodrumicon, even for English food this is the grossest, big broad gauge guy, a cow not just for sex and stuff, and Cletus with a shovel would love to meet you

What is The Netherlands? Why is it a singular plural? Why don't they speak Netherlandish? Should the country be called Dut? It makes you think. It really makes you think.

This is the story of the SS Ourang Medan. Come for the ghosts, stay for Schrödinger's box of pope, their whole deal is no wires, it's booty time, does it explain why the chains are missing?, there's a song about this guy, this is an event horizon, and rollerghoster.

We don't always set a new record for length of banter before getting to the ghost story....but when we do, it's 73% worth it, minimum. (But if you skip ahead to the 19:17:00 mark, it'd be hard to blame you.)

This is the story of The Black Dahlia. Come for the ghost, stay for Jeremy is retiring off audio filters, the wrong name statute of limitations, they don't end up in a bucket but they could, Pebble Beach at 1/2000th scale, please brain-dead me, I didn't say what kind of Californian, at least you have something to sit on, classic good cop/bad cop stuff,
