Stories in the Cemetery

We are very excited to be announcing video coming to the Stories in the Cemetery podcast. Expect to see more throughout the rest of the 2025 Season and a new weekly schedule starting in 2026.

On top of that, Josh and I will be recording a side podcast available on Patreon only entitled "Stories in the Cemetery presents Secret Societies". Each new season will bring a new theme that's not necessarily paranormal, but mysterious and a contributing factor to how we investigate and help us rethink our investigations.

The Mark of the Beast, 666, The Devil, Satanism, Popular Mainstream Television. These are all part of a general stigma of “evil” things. So where did it all begin? What is portrayed with these stigmas and why?

Dive in with Nick and Josh as they explore what mainstream media has produced as “evil” entities or concepts in our American culture. 

This episode was recorded long before the Warren’s home and guardianship of haunted items was transferred to comedian Matt Rife and ghost hunter, Elton Castee, but falls with perfect scheduling for following the media of what will happen with these very well-known to be haunted items among a team of paranormal researchers that couldn’t be trusted.

Nick and Josh dive into the 15 paranormal investigations performed on the Interactive Ghost Hunting Experiences in Charleston, SC. Beginning to question moon phases, UV lighting and other factors involving the guests on these experiences. Could race and gender have an affect on the activity? Could the cordiality of the ghosts' time era be a major factor to consider during a paranormal investigation?
