This week’s episode is what happens when the ghosts decide THEY are the main characters.

GhostTube does not clock in quietly. Oh no. The spirits are ACTIVE, unhinged, and apparently stuck in the world’s most toxic paranormal situationship. They either LOVE each other or absolutely despise each other — there is no in-between. It’s giving ghostly reality show. It’s giving “we need couples therapy but we died in 1842.” They interrupt us constantly. They’re rude. They’re dramatic. At one point we’re pretty sure one of them is jealous.

Meanwhile, Lauren’s ADHD says, “You know what this needs? A solo concert.” So yes. There is singing. There is chaos. There is at least one performance no one asked for but everyone received.

Somewhere between the paranormal bickering and Lauren’s accidental musical debut, we take you to Fengdu Ghost City — the so-called “City of Ghosts” on the Yangtze River, where ancient Chinese mythology says the afterlife isn’t just a concept, it’s a full-blown tourist destination for the dead. We’re talking demon kings, judgment trials, and architecture that screams “abandon hope, but make it aesthetic.”

Then we spiral (naturally) into False Awakenings — the psychological horror of thinking you woke up… but you absolutely did not. Layers of dreams. Fake mornings. Brushing your teeth in a dream only to wake up and realize you still have to brush your teeth in real life. Rude. Disrespectful. Paranormal? Psychological? A glitch in the simulation? We have questions.

Also yes — we once again scream about our HUGE sponsorship with HauntFest 👻 If you like haunted attractions, spooky season chaos, and the possibility of meeting ghosts that are slightly less toxic than the ones in this episode, you NEED this. Get your tickets and info at HauntFest.net 👻
