[00:48] Playback Possessed Explained

[01:20] Where we Left Off

[03:03] Enter Matt the “groundskeeper”

[03:35] Room of Feces?

[13:16] Enter the Jesus Statue

[57:48] Into the Basement

[01:11:14] Haunted or Hoax?

[01:16:09] See You in the Shadows

Playback Possessed returns to Bobby Mackey’s Music World for Part Two. Lor, Charlie, and Mel dig into the preliminary setup and the all-night investigation: the tape “X” hotspots, the so-called Room of Faces, the glowing circles, and the portal to hell versus stairway to heaven debate. We break down night vision basics, boombox and EMF interference, the “bathroom bang,” attic EVPs around Joanna, the basement well sequence, shadow-figure footage, and the infamous back scratches. We close with a skeptic’s rundown and a Haunted or Hoax verdict.

Bobby Mackey’s Music World, but make it Possessed. Lor raids the vault, resurrects lost tape, and talks back to the first-ever Ghost Adventures episode, suspicious interviews, Mel’s history pull, buried clips, and hot takes. We also unpack the “haunted property” liability question (you can’t sue a ghost, but you can sue their landlord), plus a Winchester Mystery House plug and a quick time-jump update on Season 29.

Shadow People, pull up a chair, this month’s Bonus Banter goes full campfire in Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains deep in Appalachia country. We hit cemeteries, tiny jails, a haunted church, and a maybe-protective moment at the Winchester Mystery House, on Sarah Winchester’s death day.

In Reading the Tea, Lor breaks down the Conjuring House’s Halloween mortgage-foreclosure auction, the Warrens estate shuffle (Matt Rife, Annabelle on the road), and whether a certain museum owner with aggressive shushing might bid. Rivalry brewing? Popcorn ready.

Whether you’re in the mountains or your living room, pour a glass and join the séance.

Hey Shadow People, Charlie here with our final Host Favorite Replay! For my pick, I had to go with Uninvited Guests, where the Ghost Adventures crew takes on the Winchester Mystery House and drags Houdini into Zak’s chaos.

In this episode, we recap Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 2: The Houdini Séance. We explore Houdini’s history as a debunker, the mansion’s bizarre construction, and call out the episode’s misleading claims, like Houdini’s widow holding séances there (she didn’t). With humor, side-eyes at Zak’s antics, and spooky history, this replay is part ghost story, part roast story.

📢 And don’t forget, Paranormal Playback is a finalist in the Signal Awards for Best Show Artwork! Cast your vote here or on our homepage before October 9th, 2025. Every vote helps the Shadowverse grow.

Hey Shadowlings, we’re pausing new uploads this week, Mel’s out of town and we’re gearing up for new Ghost Adventures (and maybe The Dead Files 👀). To keep things consistent, we’re re-releasing some of our favorite early episodes. First up in the rotation? Mel’s pick: The Riddle House.

In this episode, the ghouls dive into Ghost Adventures Season 1, Episode 4: The Riddle House. A chaotic investigation of an old funeral home in West Palm Beach, Florida, said to be haunted by a tormented spirit. With flying 2x4s, dramatic psychics, and Aaron’s first solo session, the hosts break down the creepy and the ridiculous, while also pondering the creation of living rooms.

This month’s Rosé & Readings continues with chaos, clinks, and a few questionable interpretations, with Part II.

Then Lauren takes on Lore by Lor with her unforgettable retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, complete with missing heads, mayoral affairs, and a witchy stepmother straight out of Tim Burton’s notebook.

Finally, we close with Tales from the Shadows: Bella Renee’s haunting encounter with a headless ghost named John and a hilarious naked cemetery chase courtesy of Sergeant Chaos.

Paranormal Playback returns to Rose Island for Part II of Kindred Spirits Season 4, Episode 11: Keeper of the Light.

With the history set in Part I, Amy Bruni and Adam Berry begin their full night investigation inside the haunted lighthouse, joined by psychic Chip Coffey, who brings his signature flair to the case. Mel and Lor recap the eerie EVPs (“don’t blame me”), shadowy figures in the barracks, and the lingering presence of lighthouse keeper Charles Curtis, who might still be making his nightly rounds.

Along the way, the Ghoulies debate whether the activity points to intelligent hauntings or just residual energy echoing through the stone walls, while roasting Chip’s dramatics and questioning how brave they’d be with only a lantern on a dark coastline.
