    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 123 - Ghost Lite No.9 "Infrasound"

    Do you ever just get a bad feeling in a place that, otherwise, seems perfectly normal? Well there are myriad reasons this feeling could be creeping into your bones, maybe there is a discarnate entity nearby, perhaps you're hanging out above a layline, or maybe there is a much more mundane source. In this ghost lite we look at the research of a engineer who may foil (pun intended) the spectral origins to those feelings. Here are the links to the articles we reference this week, highly recommend giving them a read. A Ghost in the Machine article and PDF, Guardian and Gizmodo articles.

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 122 "The Albatwitch" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace we head out to the eastern part of the commonwealth to a beautiful ridge called Chickies Rock to take a closer look at recent sightings of one of the strangest denizens in a place full of weirdness. The albatwitch often gets categorized as juvenile bigfoot, a curious mark in history, or merely the subject of local tourism, but might this small creature be hiding some large revelations about the world around us and our place in it?

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 121 "Beechwood Farms"

    On this week's episode Bond shares a story of a weird occurrence while on a hike with friends. For how much time we spend in the woods and reportedly creepy places, it's funny how little seems to actually happen when we are looking for it. This is an example of a very likely mundane, yet perplexing little happening. Do you have a story you'd like to share? You can find us on YouTube, Instagram or TheGhostFurancePodcast@gmail.com

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 120 “Western Maryland Folklore w/ Susan Fair”

    This week we sit down with author and researcher Susan Fair to talk about some of Western Maryland's most interesting stories. Focusing mainly on a few of the stranger creatures reported we are able to highlight both some familiar elements along with some new perspectives. As we often find with the more fantastical side of the cryptid spectrum, the more you dig into these creatures, the more we learn about ourselves. By putting these denizens of the four westernmost counties in this diverse state in context of the past, we learn about the present.

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 119 "Grumblethorpe" On this episode we are back in historic Philadelphia, with a house that saw six generations of one family, many historical events, countless visitors and supposedly a few ghosts. This Wister family is well known and documented in the commonwealth's history but this story was new to us. It's exciting to find a place like this which seems beloved by so many in the area for a variety of reasons, so whether you are there for the gardens, wedding, an educational tour or the spirits... you'll make some memories either way we expect.

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 118 "Hairy Hands of Dartmouth"

    On this week's episode, we head back across the pond for more UK folklore. This time to a very specific region of Dartmouth along B3212 near Postbridge. This story has been the subject of many newspaper articles, books and conjectures going back over 100 years. In many ways, it has familiar elements we've looked at in other tales, but this one has some very unique characteristics which make for an interesting inspection.

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 117 "The Morgawr" This week we head back across the pond for another Cornish legend which had been sighted many times over the last 100+ years, but never decidedly identified. With so much of the ocean inaccessible by conventional means, it lends itself to stories. When you have an area where so many residents live near, work on, and love the water, it is natural that stories of unknowable beasts come to the surface. Is the Morgawr a single creature, a relic population of marine reptiles or something yet more strange?

    The Ghost Furnace - Episode 116 "Dr. PA - Lost Children of the Alleghenies"

    The week we do something a little different. Before Mike started the Ghost Furnace, Nic and I had a Pennsylvania centric history/folklore podcast that ran from late 2015 until sometime in 2023. It had a different style and format but many of the topics either informed or would expand into elements we talk about on this show. So we wanted to start sharing them with everyone when we have a week like this, where both of us are crazy busy and don't have time to sit down and talk spooky stories with all of you. Let us know what you think about this early take of ours on the Lost Children of the Alleghenies, and if you like us digging into these archives from time to time.
