The Goblin Squad Podcast

FANS UP TO 4!

Show notes coming soon!!

We're back Gobs!!

Sarah started The Serp, it's REPOWOMAN summer, and we have tea to spill.

You thought we were done? You thought the gobs had called it quits and vanished into the ether?? Nay! We have returned….Right off the bat, let’s get some things out of the way…

WE TAKE IT ALL BACK!!! Did we use haunted AI imagery to generate thumbnails for this pod? Yes. And we are nauseous about it. Gobs, let it be known that we were wrong. Before we were educated on the insidious nature of generative AI, we fell victim to the shiny “ooooo look how productive I am” trap that captured many a lazy college student. But we are declaring the era of haunted goblin imagery OVER. Also, we take full credit for the chat bot goblin fetish issue that has apparently plagued their developers. Did we do it on purpose? No. But we’re glad it happened. SOOOOOOO….what has been happening in the last 6 months?

THE SERPENTARIUM IS OPEN! Sarah did it, the shop is open in Superior, Wisconsin, and it is a real thing that has finally become a physical place. It’s a reptile-focused supply business and adoption program for people that are interested in keeping cold-blooded creatures and their adjacent creepy crawlies. This process has been long and grueling, but without the support of gobs like you, this never would have happened.

For those of you that have stuck around, loyally waiting for more episodes, we see you. Thank you for always being the best pack of weirdos around. This podcast means so much to us and we are incredibly thankful everyday that it has continued to be the vehicle that has allowed us to meet amazing goblins like you. 

You know what to do, gobs....

STAY WEIRD!!!!

Guess who's back, back, back, back again? Squad is back, back, back, tell a friend.

We know it's been literal months gobs, but the squad is back together and weirder then ever. We set out with the best intentions of revisiting our Personal Alchemy Episode (Episode 24) but then camera stands were forgotten, notes were left in the house, melodicas were whipped out, and we slowly devolved into the chaos you know and love.

This is The Koala Check-in---where you check on a scale of Koala to Orca, how smooth your friend's brain is. Coming to you Live from 'The Dark Place', we talk mental health, business start-ups, new ideas, and Goblin Squad Book Club.

Join us for some absolute nonsense in the witch-she shed, and drop your Koala brain % in the comments.

And also.....STAY WEIRD.

#rhinelander #hodag #cryptids

It was ABSOLUTELY an Experience—with a capital E.

We’re back, goblins! And this week we’re talking about the one, the only, Long Island Medium herself… Theresa Caputo. After spending an evening in her audience and hearing her work the room, we have all the feelings. It doesn’t take a psychic to guess that we also have some strong opinions. What we thought would be a quirky night out turned into something WAY more intense than we bargained for. Do we believe? You’ll have to listen to find out. Fair enough? 😉

Episode 57: Paris Catacombs & Stull Cemetery

Welcome back, Gobs to Hot Ghoul Summer! The vibes are still eerie and the air smells faintly of crypt dust instead of sea spray but that’s good enough for us. In this episode, we descend into the ossuary underworld of the Paris Catacombs—a massive underground maze full of bones, history, and….surprise! Living people. We’re also diving into the gritty and somewhat controversial subculture of the cataphiles—those secretive souls who explore the forbidden corners of Paris’s underbelly.

Then, we travel stateside to the dusty heart of Kansas, where Stull Cemetery sits at the crossroads of myth and reality. Fans of the television series Supernatural will be interested to hear about the proximity of this Hellgate to a little town called Lawrence, Kansas. You know... just in case Satan DOES actually show up twice a year. 

And because no spooky road trip is complete without a listener tale, we’re reading a chilling story submitted by one of our very own goblin listeners. Spoiler: it's deeply unsettling and we loved every second of it.

👻 Haunted bones. 🕳️ Hidden tunnels. 🔥 The Devil’s Annual Vacay Spot 💀 Classic Goblin Squad chaos.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of death, hauntings, bones, religious legends, and the devil. Listener discretion is advised.

P.S. If you have a story that made you question reality, ruin your pants, or just made you go “…what the hell was that?” — send it our way!

P.P.S. Don’t forget to rate, review, and tell your weirdest friend about us.

Stay Weird. 🖤

🎙️ Episode 56: Cults & Esoteric D-bags

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of cults and cult behavior, murder and mass suicide (including the events of Jonestown), spiritual manipulation, and whatever the hell Aleister Crowley was doing (which includes sex magic, drug use, and ritual weirdness). Listener discretion is advised.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the unhinged world of cults, charismatic weirdos, and the esoteric dirtbags who somehow convinced people to hand over their wallets and their critical thinking skills.

We start with the horrifyingly true saga of Jim Jones, a man who weaponized religion, racism, and a terrible sunglass collection to lead hundreds to their deaths in Jonestown. Spoiler: it didn’t involve Kool-Aid, and it was somehow worse than what you remember.

Then we sashay into the chaotic dumpster fire that was Aleister Crowley—occultist, poet, and the self-proclaimed "wickedest man in the world" (insert the eyeroll here). We’ll unpack how his edgy wizard LARP spiraled into a lifestyle brand for weird Victorian dudes with too much money and too few boundaries. Like no boundaries. At all. Ever. 

AND—because no episode would be complete without a personal trauma bomb—Sarah shares her own real-life story of accidentally joining a cult (yep), how she figured it out (it wasn’t that hard, I knew it was sh*t), and what it took to claw her way back to reality. (No robes were burned in the making of this episode, but emotional bridges? Absolutely.)

👁️‍🗨️ Expect:
Red flags waving like they’re at a NASCAR race
A reminder that charisma ≠ credibility
Sassy side-eye for every “spiritual” man with a superiority complex and a god complex to match
🧃 Also: the truth about the Kool-Aid myth, why people fall for this sh*t, and how to keep your friends from accidentally joining a pyramid scheme with a spiritual rebrand.

🆘 If you or someone you love is currently in a high-control group or cult-like situation and needs help: There is support.

P.P.S. Stay weird. 👻

Hot Ghoul Summer Continues, Gobs!

This week on The Goblin Squad, we’re tossing bones, flipping cards, and side-eyeing unsolicited DM’s about messages from the great beyond. That’s right, gobs—we’re diving head first into the wild and witchy world of divination.

We’re breaking down the major types of divination (yes, including the weird ones—hello, cheese reading), unpacking why humans have always been so obsessed with peeking behind the veil, and asking the real questions: 🕯️ Is it intuition or impulse control issues? 🕯️ What’s the difference between an honest seer and a hot mess grifter with a ring light? 🕯️ And seriously—do your spirit guides actually want you to text your ex?

We’ve got jokes, facts, and mystical chaos—and as always, we’re here to validate your woo and your skepticism. You don’t have to believe in fate to admit that pulling a tarot card and getting the Tower twice hits different.

So grab your pendulums, dust off your Ouija boards (but like, don’t ever actually do that. There will be no dusting off of boards of any kind in this shed), and join us for a goblin-y romp through the mysterious, sometimes-manipulative realm of divination.

💌 P.S. We wanna hear your stories! Did a psychic absolutely nail your breakup timeline? Did you have a spooky AF dream that actually came true? Drop us a message or voice note—we’re collecting your best divination and paranormal tales for future episodes.

🦴 P.P.S. Stay weird 👻 and maybe don’t let your whole life be guided by vibes alone. Unless it’s a really good vibe. Then REALLY Stay Weird.

Grab your rosary and your questionable EMF reader because it’s Hot Ghoul Summer, and we’re kicking it off by digging through the dusty, demon-infested legacy of everyone’s favorite paranormal power couple: Ed & Lorraine Warren.

This week, Brooke and Sarah apparate into the witchy shed to break down The Warren Method™ (aka: invite yourself into someone’s haunted house, bless the water, and get famous), the deeply cursed story of the Amityville house (pig demon included), and the sprawling Warren-verse of movies that made us all afraid of dolls, basements, and our grandma’s antique rocking chair.

Are they heroes? Are they hoaxers? Are they just deeply weird Catholic goths with a knack for ghost merch? Probably yes to all three.

Tune in for: 👻 Amityville tea so hot it might just conjure a demon pig at your window 🎥 A tour of every Conjuring & Annabelle flick you should and shouldn’t watch in the dark 🔮 Unfiltered goblin thoughts about what makes the Warrens so beloved (and so controversial) 💀 And why we secretly want to haunt people for clout too.

Welcome to Hot Ghoul Summer, goblins. Grab your salt, your SPF, and your spectral insurance policy — it’s gonna be a haunted ride.

While you’re at it, gobs — send us your spiciest paranormal stories and your most questionable experiences with tarot, psychics, mediums, ouija boards, or any other attempt at chatting with the other side. We want the tea. We want the drama. We want your ghost receipts.

P.S. Stay weird 👻

P.P.S. Don't forget to send us your paranormal and/or divination stories to be featured on future episodes of TGS!

🦋✨ Episode 53 – Is Mothman a Tulpa?!

Guess who’s back, back again? Brooke and Sarah return for Part 2 of their Mothman Madness—and this time, things get even weirder. (We didn’t know that was possible either.)

This week, the Goblin Squad dives face-first into the wild idea that Mothman might not just be a cryptid... he might be a tulpa. That’s right—a psychic projection made real through sheer belief, mass hysteria, and possibly too many Monster Energy drinks.

We’re talking:
🔮 What is a tulpa and why does it sound like something you’d name a Victorian child?
👻 Questionable “imaginary friends” that may or may not have destroyed childhoods.
📈 The ever-expanding resume of Mothman—now with more bridge collapses, plane crashes, and existential dread!
💋 And of course: the age-old debate—is Mothman a cute cryptid or a hot cryptid? (Spoiler: there are wings, there is mystery, and we’re not not into it.)
🗿 Plus, we unravel the Goliath-from-Gargoyles to Rhysand-from-ACOTAR pipeline and ask the hard questions: Why are we like this? And why do we want emotionally wounded winged men to brood at us from the shadows?

Oh, and don’t worry—everyone’s favorite tormented garden hermit, Thaddeus Grimble, is back, probably muttering about ley lines and aggressively pruning ghost roses.

So grab your emotional support rock (you know the one—it’s got moss, a tiny face, and vibes like a sentient loaf of bread who’s seen some things) and join us for a cryptid-chaos-fueled spiral into the paranormal unknown.

And as always, goblins... you know what to do... STAY WEIRD!!!
