  • Part II – August Bonus Banter | Rosé & Readings

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


    First up: Char hosts another round of Say What?!, where Mel and Lor attempt to decode mysterious EVPs. Is it “measuring tape”? “What’s your intent”? Or “pleasure tent”? You decide.


    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.

  • Part II – The Night Watch at Rose Island | Kindred Spirits S04E11 Recap

    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.

  • Part I – Rose Island’s Haunted Lighthouse | Kindred Spirits S04E11 Recap

    Paranormal Playback sets sail for Rose Island in Kindred Spirits Season 4, Episode 11: Keeper of the Light. In Part I, Mel and Lor unpack the eerie history of a lonely Rhode Island lighthouse that once doubled as a fort, a quarantine hospital, and a shipwreck magnet. From unmarked graves and cholera victims to the life of lighthouse keeper Charles Curtis, who may still be making his rounds, this episode is a stormy mix of maritime tragedy and spectral mystery.


    Along the way, the Ghoulies roast government “solutions,” haunted rocks, and even Curtis’s nightly warm milk ritual, while breaking down Amy Bruni and Adam Berry’s first night of investigation at the barracks. EVPs whisper “mother,” shadow figures appear in windows, and Adam feels a presence a little too close for comfort.
