  • Ep. 65 J-Root Beer, J-Skeletons, and J-Ghostly Japanese Lore: The Co-Ghosts

    Send your favorite Co-Ghosts a message!

    Ever wondered what makes a forest so eerie that it becomes synonymous with spirits and shadows? Get ready to uncover the chilling mysteries of Aokigahara, Japan's infamous "suicide forest," known for its ghostly lore and haunting reputation. We share startling stories, from unsettling apparitions to mysterious wailing sounds, all while reflecting on the cultural nuances of Japanese ghost stories and how they differ from Western tales. It's a thrill lined with goosebumps as we navigate the forest's spine-tingling narratives and explore the preventive measures in place to deter its sinister allure.

    Join us for a spooktacular journey where root beer anecdotes and Halloween hijinks pave the way for tales of haunted pasts and peculiar folklore. We dive into the world of Japanese urban legends like Yamamba and Kuchisaki Onna, mixing cultural curiosity with humor as we attempt to pronounce names and unravel the creepy essence of these stories. Our playful banter about Halloween decorations, and a chat with Harley (who owns a skeleton!), adds a whimsical touch of the bizarre as we gear up to tackle all things ghostly and mysterious.

    We've also got a special treat for fans of the bizarre and funny: our "We're Not a Couple" t-shirt, inspired by one of our catch phrases as well as a shirt that was made from the laughs we've shared with John Olsen. Stay connected with us on social media, and don't forget to revisit past episodes as we continue to explore the weird and wonderful world of the paranormal. Whether you’re intrigued by Japanese hauntings or curious about the curious Okiku doll, this episode promises a rollercoaster of emotions, thrills, and a few chuckles along the way.

    Picture this: you're trying to enjoy the excitement of a Vikings vs. LA Rams game without stumbling upon spoilers on social media. That's exactly the dilemma DW, aka the Diddy Waitlist, faces in our latest episode. As we chat about sports and ponder the hilarity of potential future episodes featuring our spouses, we also navigate the lighter side of sports fandom, complete with DW's playful banter with his wife about post-broadcast game surprises. It's a balancing act between the thrill of real-time sports and life in the digital age, and we promise plenty of laughs along the way.

    Switching gears, we welcome Cindy, a former casino industry veteran turned haunted house owner, who shares her unexpected journey from the lively streets of Las Vegas to the eerie, ghost-laden halls of Ohio. Initially skeptical about the supernatural (thanks to her dad’s ghostly cautions), Cindy found herself in a world of paranormal discoveries that led to opening her house for investigations. She offers a peek into the history and haunting tales of Ross House, and her entrepreneurial spirit shines through as she talks about transforming spooky experiences into a thriving business.

    Get ready for some spine-tingling tales as Cindy recounts her chilling encounters with spirits, especially a particularly pesky one named Alfred. From mysterious touches and strange noises in her escape room to unsettling ghostly interactions at home, Cindy's stories are as thrilling as they are terrifying. But it's not all bumps in the night; we also share lighter moments, including a humorous run-in with "Bad Benny" and a fun questionnaire that reveals Cindy's ties to Las Vegas. Whether you're a fan of ghost stories or curious about the haunted Ross House, this episode promises an entertaining and eerie escape into the paranormal.
