Paranormal Playback

In this episode of Paranormal Playback, Charlie, Mel, and Lor trade the chaos of Ghost Adventures for the calm, compassionate approach of Kindred Spirits, recapping Season 1, Episode 1, “Breaking & Entering.” The team dives into Amy Bruni and Adam Berry’s investigation of a Massachusetts home plagued by strange voices, moving objects, and a crawl space with a dark past. Along the way, the hosts unpack creepy EVP captures, basement mysteries, and the possibility of Underground Railroad history. From Celtic Ouija boards to skeptical breakdowns of ghost-hunting methods, it’s a mix of humor, hauntings, and honest paranormal analysis.

Char, Mel, and Lor dive deep into Zak’s dramatic tactics, Aaron’s solo shower room scare, and Nick’s attempt to play lead investigator. They explore the prison’s dark past, including death row executions and solitary confinement, while questioning the use of controversial tech like the infamous infinity loop. Along the way, they reflect on shadow figures, debunked orbs, and the lingering energy that may or may not haunt the site.

A fatal car crash. A devoted chauffeur. A mansion full of sorrow. In this monthly Minisode of This Old Haunt, host Melanie Malone takes you inside one of New England’s most famously haunted homes: The Houghton Mansion of North Adams, Massachusetts.

We’re peeling back the paranormal drama to get to the real story, a 1914 tragedy that claimed the lives of Mary Houghton, her father A.C. Houghton, and their chauffeur John Widders. What started as a scenic summer drive turned into one of the most well-documented hauntings in Massachusetts history.

From Freemason secrets and newspaper frenzies, to phantom apologies and a Pierce-Arrow with no brakes, this story has it all.

🛻 Ghosts or grief?

📜 Secret societies or spooky symbolism?

In Part II of Paranormal Playback’s deep dive into Ghost Adventures Season 1, Episode 5, the crew recaps the infamous lockdown at Sloss Furnace in Birmingham, Alabama. Char, Mel, and Lor dissect everything from Zach’s roleplay-heavy taunts and questionable EVPs to Aaron’s alleged ghost slap and Nick’s dramatic tunnel tumble. With thermal cams, static night vision, and the earliest glimpse of Billy from PIMPS (yes, really), the investigation teeters between eerie and absurd. Was that a mist, a glitch, or a ghostly foreman named Slag? Tune in as the hosts separate spooky fact from ghost-hunting fiction, and declare whether Sloss is haunted or just industrial noise and nostalgia.
