It’s Day 2 of my Halloween Marathon, and today we’re diving into The Haunted Tourist.

I’m joined by Brandon Schexnayder, host of Southern Gothic and Fear Daily—two shows that live and breathe ghost stories. Together, we pull back the curtain on haunted tourism: the ghost tours, the myths, and the money that fuels them.

From fake cemeteries built for tourists to real tragedies twisted into folklore, Brandon and I explore what’s real, what’s exaggerated, and why we want to believe.

If you love a good ghost story—but also like to know what’s behind it—this one’s for you.
