Eldra Graves (00:06):
Hello and welcome to Nightwatch News, the only
broadcast brave enough to reportfrom both this world and the
next.
I'm your host, eldra Graves.
Thank you for joining us.
We begin tonight with breakingnews from the eerie edge of the
paranormal world.
(00:26):
In a chilling twist worthy oftheir own show, the hosts of
Castle of Spirits' True GhostStories podcast, affectionately
known to fans as the GhostKeepers, have been found alive
and mostly well, after vanishingwithout a trace nearly six
months ago.
Well, after vanishing without atrace nearly six months ago,
(00:48):
vince and Jane Font, the dynamicduo behind the popular
Paranormal podcast, disappearedone week before Halloween 2024,
right after releasing their lastspine-tingling episode.
Concerned listeners feared theworst.
Had the ghosts finally gottenthem?
As it turns out, yes, sort of.
(01:09):
The couple were discovered thisweek in the basement dungeon of
their very own haunted castle,dehydrated, disoriented and
extremely annoyed.
According to early reports, thepair believed they'd been
locked in by the very spiritswhose stories they regularly
share with the world.
But in a haunting twist ofirony, the door was completely
(01:34):
unlocked the entire time.
We feel really stupid, saidco-host Vince Font, emerging
from the cobweb-covered stonecellar, blinking at the sunlight
like a mole who'd misplaced hisreading glasses, his wife and
co-host, jane Font, addedhelpfully, he thought he heard
the door click.
I told him to push harder.
(01:56):
Fans, meanwhile, had grownincreasingly alarmed over the
couple's disappearance.
I thought maybe they'd crossedover or just gotten sucked into
a haunted mirror or something,said longtime listener Daphne R,
who describes herself as acastlehead since 2019.
I even hired a psychic on Etsy.
She said they were surroundedby shadows.
(02:18):
Turns out it was just poorlighting in the basement.
Dr Hector Vane, a self-describedspectrologist and author of
Poltergeists, friends orFreeloaders, weighed in on the
situation.
Spirits are known tricksters,he explained.
Some like to knock over pictureframes, others apparently
(02:39):
convince podcast hosts theirperfectly ordinary door is
locked Classic phantom mischief.
The Ghost Keepers claim theirtime in the dungeon was filled
with eerie whispers, the smellof old candles and what may or
may not have been a ghostlypoker tournament happening in
the wine cellar.
Unfortunately, they had no cellreception, podcasting gear or
(03:04):
snacks a truly harrowing ordealby modern standards.
The good news Vince and Janeare now safe, slightly
embarrassed and back aboveground.
Even better, they're resumingtheir podcasting duties
immediately, eager to return totheir rightful place, sharing
listener-submitted tales ofterror, mystery and the
(03:29):
unexplained and welcome back tothe Castle of Spirits.
Vince Font (03:45):
True Ghost Stories podcast.
We are back.
We are among the living kind ofI mean, we're surrounded by
ghosts all the time as it isanywhere.
Jane Font (03:53):
We're still among the dead.
Vince Font (03:55):
Indeed, we are.
Jane Font (03:57):
Who are you?
Vince Font (03:59):
My name is Vince, better known as the Ghost Keeper
.
Jane Font (04:03):
And I am the Ghost Keeper, jane, also known as the
Ghost Keeper, and I am the Ghost.
Vince Font (04:05):
Keeper Jane, also known as the Ghost Keeper Wait.
That's what we said oh,together we are the Ghost
Keepers.
Jane Font (04:10):
Man, we are rusty on this, aren't we?
It's almost like we haven'tdone it for six months, but when
?
Vince Font (04:14):
you live in a dungeon for six months, you get
a little rusty.
And one thing I wanted to saythe news story that mentioned
that we had no snacks is nottrue.
Jane Font (04:30):
We had lots of food to eat, Unfortunately, it was I
thought we weren't going to talkabout that?
Vince Font (04:34):
Well, I have to talk about it because people are
going to say it's like if youwere in the Andes for 13 weeks
and you came out of it notstarved, what did you eat?
Everybody wants to know.
Nobody's passing judgment, wejust want to know what you ate.
Well, remember that food, thatwe're always that ghostly
ectoplasm, that we're feedingthe ghosts.
(04:56):
Yeah, well, we had to eat that.
Jane Font (05:00):
You get used to it after a while.
At first it was really gross,the texture you cannot imagine.
Those of you who have foodtexture issues like me.
I don't recommend it.
But you know, when there'snothing else you have to do it.
And after a while it kind ofgrew on me.
(05:20):
It was like that scene inYellow Jackets.
No, not like that at all.
It was like that scene in peterjackson's movie bad taste, oh
yeah yeah, you know what I'mtalking about yeah at first it's
like no, and then afterwards,it's like more alien vomit.
(05:41):
No, don't say that.
No, I wasn't going to say it.
Vince Font (05:46):
If they haven't seen it yet, that'll make them see
it yeah it was Anyway anotherthing I have a bone to pick with
you.
Get it, Not a skeleton bone,but a chicken bone.
I don't know it is the bonethat it was suddenly my fault
that we got locked down.
Jane Font (06:03):
It was.
Vince Font (06:05):
The door was locked.
Jane Font (06:06):
It was not locked, vince, there's not even a lock
on the door.
Vince Font (06:10):
I looked afterwards.
They could have been holdingthe door closed.
Jane Font (06:14):
Oh yeah, they were definitely holding the door
closed, I mean.
Vince Font (06:16):
I pushed, I tried my hardest to get us out of there
for at least half an hour and itdid not work.
Jane Font (06:21):
Don't laugh.
Vince Font (06:25):
That whole six months.
He gave it a good 30 minutes.
Well, and then when theyfinally came and got us, we were
very glad and we're back.
We're back to resume our dutiesas the Ghost Keepers of the
Castle of Spirits podcast andthank you for listening and
thank you for all your support.
When we were away, we came back, logged online and discovered
(06:46):
we had a lot of people lookingfor us.
One of them was our dentistbecause we were behind on a bill
, but I successfully managed toevade that one, however-.
Jane Font (06:56):
But in all seriousness, the last six months
, I think, have beenextraordinarily stressful and
strange for everyone.
Vince Font (07:07):
Not just the people underground.
Jane Font (07:19):
Right, primary reason we haven't been around for the
last six months boils down to mebecause I was kind of
experiencing a really deliciouscocktail of burnout, anxiety and
depression.
And let me tell you, when youget those three together, gears
(07:40):
just stop turning.
You know things, things stop,and so I had a really hard time
kind of doing a lot of things.
But you know, I saw a doctor, Igot rid of it.
So a doctor got rid of it, goton some medication which has
(08:04):
been enormously helpful, andthat's not something I ever
thought that I would do.
I always kind of felt againstthat.
For whatever reason, you'restruggling with your mental
(08:24):
health and you haven't reachedout for help, because of
whatever the myriad reasons arethat we tell ourselves we're not
going to or that we can't, orwhatever.
I encourage you to do so it'seven just reaching out and
saying you know what?
I need some help.
I can't handle this on my own.
It's incredibly empowering and,um, you know, just knowing that
(08:45):
you had the strength to do thatis is enough to start making you
feel at least a little bitbetter.
Vince Font (08:52):
So yeah, real talk.
And it's not.
It's not even alwaysnecessarily medical help.
I mean, you should ask for help, but you know I wasn't immune
from any of that myself.
But you know, I wasn't immunefrom any of that myself, and
what I did was I resumed mymartial arts studies.
You know, when I was 15, I tookTaekwondo.
40 years later I picked it upagain.
(09:14):
But having something like thathas been really helpful also.
So it can you know.
Self-help can take a lot ofdifferent forms.
Mine just happens to bethrowing my back out every time
I do a back kick and I'm apurple belt now.
Eldra Graves (09:31):
So if you hold real.
Vince Font (09:32):
Still I could possibly harm you.
Jane Font (09:36):
Don't struggle too much and he could take you.
Vince Font (09:41):
That's right, but one thing that I really wanted
to do when we got back is tosort of catch up with some of
the people who actually reachedout to us and expressed their
genuine concern with what wasgoing on, which I totally
understand.
Jane Font (09:55):
Yeah, for sure, and we do have several messages in
the lounge and if you guys havesomething you'd just like to say
to us, say hi, provide asuggestion, tell us, we suck.
Say hi to Mr Moon, whatever youwant, just head to the lounge
(10:22):
castlespiritscom slash loungeand you can give us a little
chat.
So this first message is fromanonymous.
There's no name, but they saidI love the podcast but haven't
heard from you in a while.
I wanted to send a message tosay that I hope the ghosts
haven't done anythingunspeakable to you.
In all seriousness, I hopeyou're both well and doing all
right physically, emotionallyand spiritually, all of it.
(10:43):
Happy holidays to you both andI hope your new year is a good
one.
And thank you and happyholidays to you as well.
I'm sorry that we're like fivemonths on and just getting back
around to you.
Vince Font (10:56):
And I had a good back and forth with one of our
listeners, Jeff Sovich.
Hey, Jeff, he messaged us nottoo long ago.
Thanks for noticing that.
We're gone until March.
Jeff, he messaged us not toolong ago.
Thanks for noticing that we'regone until March.
Jeff, he said hey, Vince andJane, is everything okay there
in the castle?
You've been pretty quiet lately.
Well, you know, if we had knownwe could have gotten out, or if
(11:17):
you'd come looking for us, wewould have been here a lot
sooner, oh shots fired.
But yeah, thank you very much,Jeff, for the support and for
looking for us.
Jane Font (11:27):
And Jeff.
Just ignore Vince, he's just agrumpy old guy.
We have a message from Austin,who says just an avid reader
that enjoys hearing about thestranger side of our reality,
Engineering student andparanormal aficionado.
Science cannot explaineverything and you're right,
(11:50):
Austin, it can.
And thank you for being here.
We appreciate your message.
Vince Font (11:55):
Yeah, thanks, and I sorry, Jeff.
I just realized that thatmessage was sent to us in March
of 2024.
So oops.
So it turns out we do this alot.
Jane Font (12:11):
Okay, real talk for a minute here, vince.
Yeah, we need to both, rightnow, make a pledge to our
audience.
Okay, we will not disappearagain without some kind of
explanation.
Or yeah, we didn't.
We didn't anticipatedisappearing.
It just kind of happened.
(12:31):
And then the farther away wegot from it, the the harder it
was to find our way back to it.
Vince Font (12:38):
So we promise not to do that again if you promise
never to stop listening, that'sa contract yeah, see if we
disappear again.
Jane Font (12:46):
Guys, please come look in the cellar.
Vince Font (12:50):
Yeah, yeah.
If Jeff had come look in thecellar, we wouldn't have been.
Jane Font (12:54):
Oh, now it's poor Jeff.
It's all laid at his feet again.
Vince Font (12:58):
However, Taryn did message us through Facebook
saying I haven't seen anythingnew from you all, Are you okay?
Jane Font (13:06):
That was in all, are you okay?
That was in January.
Vince Font (13:08):
She acted fairly quickly, only three months since
we'd gone missing, butliterally three months to the
day since we'd gone missing.
And she said glad the hungryghosts haven't gotten you.
Jane Font (13:19):
Well, I mean they did , but-.
Vince Font (13:24):
Not in the way we're thinking.
Jane Font (13:25):
Right.
So Lola also sent us a message.
It just says hi, I love thisplace.
Thank you, Lola.
We love this place too, and welove it even more when you're
here with us.
Vince Font (13:37):
And then in March we got a message over at Instagram
.
You can follow us on Instagramand Facebook at Castle of
Spirits, this one from WalterFigueroa, who is apparently a
very cool artist.
Did I say artists?
He's just one artist, but helooks like he maybe has eight
arms or something, because he'svery talented.
He said hi and hello, I've beena longtime listener to your
(13:58):
podcast on Amazon and I haven'tseen any new episodes since
October of last year.
Are you guys Okay, hope all iswell.
And I communicated with Walter.
I said thank you very much andhe said I was starting to get
worried.
I love listening to yourpodcast.
Well, big hugs to you both andyour kitties.
Have a great weekend, thankweekend.
(14:21):
And, of course, walter, youtotally forgot our dog Freya.
She's offended, she's pissed,she's coming after you, so I
would just, if you come overhere, bring treats.
Jane Font (14:26):
Yeah, Our good friend Amy sent us a message.
Amy Duke.
She says just let me know.
This makes me feel really badthat we, that we ran off.
Just let me know you guys arealive and well.
I just discovered the podcast afew weeks ago and it's getting
me through some tough times.
(14:46):
I feel like you guys are peopleI would sit and chill with and
giggle about the weirdness oflife.
I hope to see you guys returnto the podcast in 2025.
I just hope all is well.
More, though, you guys are aspooky light in the darkness
more than you realize.
Take care and stay spooky.
Oh, Amy, thank you, and we feelthe same about you and all of
(15:09):
our dear listeners.
So, just to catch up with youguys like, what's been up?
Seen any good movies, Read anygood books?
Anything good and creepy happenwhile we were away.
Vince Font (15:22):
I know I have one.
I have one.
We saw a really cool movie theother day.
You guys I'm sure you've heardof it because it's playing right
now.
It's a big, big hit.
As far as I know, it's a newMichael B Jordan movie, sinners
so good and directed by RyanCoogler, who did Creed 1, and he
(15:44):
did Fruitvale Station.
But he's also been doing a lotbigger things in the Marvel
universe with Black Panther.
But he proved that he can alsotake on horror, vampires,
vampires.
In this case.
It's kind of like RobertRodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn,
but it takes place in 1930sAmerica, in the South, at a juke
(16:11):
joint.
Jane Font (16:12):
I kind of felt like it was a mix between From Dusk
Till Dawn and the Color Purple.
Vince Font (16:18):
Yeah, I can see that .
Jane Font (16:19):
It's kind of an odd mix, but it worked.
Vince Font (16:22):
And typically I don't get excited about music.
In movies I'm not.
I mean, we've seen movies Idon't know.
Musicals are hit and miss forme.
Jane Font (16:33):
I wouldn't call it a musical.
Vince Font (16:34):
No, it's not a musical, but it's got-.
It featured a lot of music, alot of bluesy music, but also
it's just good, yeah, and it'stasty.
You should see it.
It's something to sink yourteeth in.
Jane Font (16:46):
I don't know if we had talked about it before we
86ed or not, but another moviewe saw last year that we just
could not get enough of is Latenight with the devil oh yeah oh,
so good, so so good.
(17:07):
It's a like a kind of athrowback to 70s, 80s type late
night talk shows, uh, with a alittle demonic possession thrown
in.
Now I am not a fan of demonicpossession stories, movies.
It just all feels like it triesso hard and it's just like it's
(17:33):
so in your face and it justbores me.
It doesn't scare me, I justfind demonic possession boring.
But this one I loved.
I loved it.
Vince Font (17:46):
And did we tell you about Deadstream?
Oh yeah, we might havementioned Deadstream.
Jane Font (17:51):
We may have Deadstream.
It's like a mock YouTube live,where a guy's going into an
abandoned house that'ssupposedly haunted.
He's one of those shockYouTubers who gets banned and
the audience turns against him,but it is hilarious.
Vince Font (18:17):
It's a bit of a grower because the first time we
watched it we weren't sure ifwe liked it.
Jane Font (18:21):
Yeah, I didn't really like it all that much the first
time we saw it.
I liked the first half becauseit's just hilarious, and then we
just kept talking about it andtalking about it and quoting it
and laughing about things.
So we decided to watch it againand now it's one of our
favorites.
So I would definitely giveDeadstream a try.
Vince Font (18:43):
In the intervening time.
Also, David Lynch died.
Jane Font (18:46):
Oh, that was such a heartbreak.
Vince Font (18:48):
It was, but he had done his life's work.
Eldra Graves (18:53):
Yeah.
Vince Font (18:54):
With Twin Peaks of Return from 2017.
Yeah, it stands as the greatestthing I have ever seen TV or
movie.
Jane Font (19:02):
Yeah, I agree.
Vince Font (19:03):
Consider it like an 18 hour movie.
I mean, even if you're not afan of twin peaks, yeah, but if
you're a fan of twin peaks, it'sgoing to blow your mind.
Obviously, a lot of people haveseen it, but when he died it
was like, oh, it's too bad thathe'll never make another great
movie again.
But thank God that he made whathe did when he did, at a time
(19:25):
when most of the older membersof the cast were dying, and the
only thing that I can thinkwould have made it better was if
.
David Bowie had been able toreprise his role as Philip
Jeffries.
Philip Jeffries, that's right,mm.
Jane Font (19:41):
Hmm.
Yeah, philip Jeffries, philipJeffries, that's right, mm-hmm.
Yeah, you know so fewfilmmakers, musicians, you know,
artists in those kind of mediagenres get, you know, have the
ability to like culminate theirentire career into a single
moment, you know, kind of theirmagnum opus before they die.
(20:05):
And I feel like everything inDavid Lynch's career was leading
to that moment, you know, andit just felt like the cherry on
top.
Vince Font (20:23):
And the serendipity of it all too, Was it in Twin
Peaks Firewalk with me.
Jane Font (20:28):
Laura Palmer says I'll see you in 25 years.
Vince Font (20:30):
I'll see you in 25 years and damn, but that thing
didn't come out.
25 years later that series andI love it when that kind of
stuff works in that manner.
Mm-hmm.
Jane Font (20:41):
So, since we've had quite a bit of time to think
about the show when you'resitting down there in that
cellar for six months you got alot of time to think and we
decided that we want to try andshake up the show a little bit,
mix it up just a bit.
Of course, we're still going tobe reading stories.
(21:01):
However, friends, real talk, ifyou don't submit your stories
to us eventually-.
Vince Font (21:10):
Yeah, we're never going to hear about them.
Jane Font (21:11):
We're going to well and eventually we're going to
run out of stories, so we canmaintain this podcast as long as
you are sending us your damnstories.
Vince Font (21:22):
I mean the website castle of spiritscom has like
4,600 submissions that have comeover the last almost 30 years,
yeah, but not all of them aregreat.
Jane Font (21:34):
And not all of them are readable on the show.
There's many that areextraordinarily long, some that
you know they're just notreadable for one reason or
another.
We are looking at some otherways that we can use that
content, you know, outside ofjust reading it.
(21:55):
But yeah, we need you guys tosubmit your stories.
But yeah, we need you guys tosubmit your stories.
But also we thought we shouldstart doing some little segments
, maybe in between stories.
You know, just fun, differentthings.
So today we decided to use youas our guinea pigs on a brand
(22:16):
new segment that we hope tobring to you every once in a
great while, and that is Wouldyou Rather Paranormal Edition?
Oh no, I don't know that.
I'm good at this.
You're going to be good at it.
Vince Font (22:32):
All right, I've been around on the Earth, but I
don't remember ever playing.
Would you Rather yeah?
Jane Font (22:38):
Vince actually grew up on some other planet not
Earth, because he is an alien,so we're going to teach him how
to play.
Would you Rather ParanormalEdition?
And I have a feeling that mineare going to be better than his,
so I'll go first.
(22:58):
You ready?
Vince Font (22:59):
Okay, so you're going to ask me a hypothetical
question.
Jane Font (23:02):
Yep, and you're going to tell me which one you'd
rather, and you have to justifyit.
Vince Font (23:06):
Oh.
Jane Font (23:07):
And then I'll tell you which one I would rather.
Okay, good.
All right.
Would you rather be haunted bya ghost who smells like canned
sardines or a demon who livesunder your bed and sings
Christmas songs all night long?
Vince Font (23:28):
Oh God, so you're making me choose between
sardines and Christmas songs.
Now, how bad are the sardinesmells?
Is it like an open can?
Jane Font (23:36):
of sardines.
That's stuck under my nose.
It's not a closed can ofsardines.
Vince Font (23:40):
Now wait, what was it again Haunted by a ghost?
Does he live in a special placein my house?
Jane Font (23:46):
No, it follows you everywhere.
When you're in the house, allyou smell is sardines.
Vince Font (23:50):
Oh, okay, so I can get away from it by spending
time away from the house, but Ican also do the same thing by
sleeping elsewhere, so I don'thave to listen to Christmas
tunes.
Jane Font (23:59):
Yes, but you still have to live in the house.
So which one do you choose?
Vince Font (24:04):
You know, sorry to everybody out there who loves
Christmas songs, and there aresome Christmas tunes that I dig.
Jane Font (24:11):
And you know, Vince, I'm on the same team as you.
I love canned sardines.
Sorry, our dog is deciding thatshe wants to wander around, so
there's some bonking noises.
I apologize.
Yeah, I love canned sardines,and there's a thing called nose
blindness.
(24:31):
Would be less torture for me tosmell sardines all the time
than to listen to especially bad.
Vince Font (24:47):
I'm not going to name any contemporary artists
because I don't want to upsetanybody just imagine the voice
of a demon under your bedsinging christmas songs all
night long.
Okay, so it's.
It's a demon.
I forgot about that.
Jane Font (24:59):
Yeah, no, that sounds just awful Like.
Don't shoot me during the snow,right, right, yeah, no, I'm not
into that.
Vince Font (25:05):
I'll go with the ghost.
With sardine smell?
Yes, because occasionally Imight enjoy eating the sardines.
Can I eat them?
Jane Font (25:13):
No, it just smells like sardines.
No, that's part of the torture.
Torture Only smell, no sardines.
Vince Font (25:18):
All right, then I guess I'll go with choice number
one.
What do I win?
Jane Font (25:27):
The honor of knowing that we picked the same.
Vince Font (25:30):
Okay.
Jane Font (25:30):
So now it's your turn .
You have to, would you?
Vince Font (25:33):
rather me.
You better make it good, I gotto think of something here, all
right.
All right, I think I got one,okay.
Jane Font (25:49):
Would you rather have a ghost lick your face randomly
?
Vince Font (25:51):
throughout the course of the day and night, or
have a zombie chew on yourtoenails when you're sleeping.
Oh, I mean, I guess, more likenibble.
Let's do nibble not chew?
Jane Font (25:54):
That's not even a question.
I'll take the ghost licking myface.
Vince Font (25:58):
Really yeah With that ectoplasmic bad breath.
Jane Font (26:02):
Well, we just spent six months in the cellar.
Vince Font (26:06):
Yeah, I don't want to relive that.
Jane Font (26:07):
How many times did you get your face licked?
Vince Font (26:10):
A lot.
Jane Font (26:13):
It might have mixed things up if I had a zombie
getting all toesy on me.
Okay, but here's the thing.
A we are already used to beinglicked in the face by ghosts,
right?
So that's, old hat B, whatyou're failing to realize about
zombies chewing on your toenails.
Zombies stink.
They are rotting flesh.
Vince Font (26:35):
They smell bad.
Also, they eat your body.
They don't just eat your brains.
That's just in the Return ofthe Living Dead universe, right?
They eat flesh, so they wouldeat your feet.
They don't just eat your brains, that's just in the Return of
the Living Dead universe, right?
They eat flesh, so they wouldeat your feet, I guess.
Jane Font (26:43):
Yes, toenails.
They're not going to stop there, because toenails are
non-nutritive for zombies.
Vince Font (26:49):
You give them a toe and they take a foot Right See.
Jane Font (26:53):
Ghost licking my face all day.
What about you guys?
Vince Font (26:59):
Who oh them?
Yeah, sorry.
Jane Font (27:01):
What do you choose out of our would-you-rathers?
You should head over to thelounge and let us know.
Vince Font (27:11):
And if you have any would-you-rathers for us, we'll
read your would-you-rathers onair.
Yeah, guys, send me a good oneto ask Jane, because I don't
know that I can think ofanything else cool like that.
Jane Font (27:21):
Give us those, would you rathers, and let us know if
this is a segment that you wouldbe interested in hearing more.
If you have any other ideas forsegments, we've got a whole
list of things we'll be tryingout.
I'm here to tell you, guys,some of these segments are gonna
be bangers, some of thesesegments are gonna be floppers
fl.
Vince Font (27:38):
Floppers.
Jane Font (27:38):
So Floppers and bangers Just you know we
appreciate you hanging in therewith us while we navigate the
bangers and floppers waters.
Vince Font (27:47):
Oh wow, would you rather navigate the okay?
Jane Font (27:51):
So, yeah, in our next episode we are going to be
getting back to reading youstories and, you know, take it
back to the spooky tip, and wereally hope that you will come
along for the ride.
Also, I just want to remind youthat we have a YouTube channel
(28:13):
so you guys can find our podcaston all of the podcast platforms
.
You know, wherever it is youlisten to podcasts, you can find
us there, but we also have ourpodcast on YouTube.
So if you do YouTube music oryou just want to sit and look at
some pretty cool graphics if Ido say so myself and listen to
(28:37):
us on your TV, there's that aswell.
So maybe just head over to ourYouTube channel, castle of
Spirits, and give us a subscribe.
Vince Font (28:48):
And also leave us reviews on Apple Podcasts or
Spotify, for that matter.
But I do recognize the factthat reviews at those two places
can help drive up visibilityfor the podcast and we have
shockingly few reviews at eitherof those places and I'm
disappointed, not that youpersonally, you guys, but you
know, I'm just disappointed ingeneral.
Jane Font (29:10):
Oh, and when Vince gets disappointed.
Vince Font (29:13):
People get locked into cellars.
Eldra Graves (29:15):
Into the yeah, into the cellar to the seller.
Jane Font (29:18):
And then another idea that we have going forward is
there are a couple of collabswith other people in the
industry that we are looking at,so that's exciting.
Vince Font (29:34):
I can think of a couple of people I'd like to, I
would love to do some sort of acollaboration with, just because
we're fans.
Jane Font (29:42):
Yep.
Vince Font (29:43):
And there's also new acquaintances as well.
Jane Font (29:47):
So be on the lookout for that and, you know, if you
have just any ideas, things thatyou would like for us to cover,
maybe topics or you know,whatever ideas you have the more
.
I mean, you know, know, I knowI'm putting a lot on you right
now, but the more you guys uh,interact and give us ideas and
(30:07):
send us your stories and things,the the longer we can continue
to bring you these episodes also, if you know somebody who mows
lawns, so I mean I'm not, I'mnot going to go do it.
Vince Font (30:20):
No.
Jane Font (30:21):
And the ghosts are good for nothing.
Vince Font (30:23):
Hey, maybe we can get that zombie who likes to
chew on toenails to go out intothe backyard.
In the front yard, ew and weedsnap.
Jane Font (30:33):
Like in Stephen King's short story the Lawnmower
man.
Vince Font (30:36):
Yeah.
Jane Font (30:37):
No, that's gross.
So that's all I had for thisepisode.
What about you events?
Vince Font (30:44):
interestingly, just in time, because you can hear
the music coming down the hall Ithought I heard that you all
know what that means, and nowthat we know that we can be
victimized by these ghosts, wehave to snap to it.
Yeah, so thank you for joiningus on this edition of the Castle
of Spirits True Ghost Storiespodcast.
Jane Font (31:02):
And just a bit of parting advice stay out of the
cellar.
Hello and welcome to Nightwatch News, the only
broadcast brave enough to reportfrom both this world and the
next.
I'm your host, eldra Graves.
Thank you for joining us.
We begin tonight with breakingnews from the eerie edge of the
paranormal world.
(00:26):
In a chilling twist worthy oftheir own show, the hosts of
Castle of Spirits' True GhostStories podcast, affectionately
known to fans as the GhostKeepers, have been found alive
and mostly well, after vanishingwithout a trace nearly six
months ago.
Well, after vanishing without atrace nearly six months ago,
(00:48):
vince and Jane Font, the dynamicduo behind the popular
Paranormal podcast, disappearedone week before Halloween 2024,
right after releasing their lastspine-tingling episode.
Concerned listeners feared theworst.
Had the ghosts finally gottenthem?
As it turns out, yes, sort of.
(01:09):
The couple were discovered thisweek in the basement dungeon of
their very own haunted castle,dehydrated, disoriented and
extremely annoyed.
According to early reports, thepair believed they'd been
locked in by the very spiritswhose stories they regularly
share with the world.
But in a haunting twist ofirony, the door was completely
(01:34):
unlocked the entire time.
We feel really stupid, saidco-host Vince Font, emerging
from the cobweb-covered stonecellar, blinking at the sunlight
like a mole who'd misplaced hisreading glasses, his wife and
co-host, jane Font, addedhelpfully, he thought he heard
the door click.
I told him to push harder.
(01:56):
Fans, meanwhile, had grownincreasingly alarmed over the
couple's disappearance.
I thought maybe they'd crossedover or just gotten sucked into
a haunted mirror or something,said longtime listener Daphne R,
who describes herself as acastlehead since 2019.
I even hired a psychic on Etsy.
She said they were surroundedby shadows.
(02:18):
Turns out it was just poorlighting in the basement.
Dr Hector Vane, a self-describedspectrologist and author of
Poltergeists, friends orFreeloaders, weighed in on the
situation.
Spirits are known tricksters,he explained.
Some like to knock over pictureframes, others apparently
(02:39):
convince podcast hosts theirperfectly ordinary door is
locked Classic phantom mischief.
The Ghost Keepers claim theirtime in the dungeon was filled
with eerie whispers, the smellof old candles and what may or
may not have been a ghostlypoker tournament happening in
the wine cellar.
Unfortunately, they had no cellreception, podcasting gear or
(03:04):
snacks a truly harrowing ordealby modern standards.
The good news Vince and Janeare now safe, slightly
embarrassed and back aboveground.
Even better, they're resumingtheir podcasting duties
immediately, eager to return totheir rightful place, sharing
listener-submitted tales ofterror, mystery and the
(03:29):
unexplained and welcome back tothe Castle of Spirits.
Vince Font (03:45):
True Ghost Stories podcast.
We are back.
We are among the living kind ofI mean, we're surrounded by
ghosts all the time as it isanywhere.
Jane Font (03:53):
We're still among the dead.
Vince Font (03:55):
Indeed, we are.
Jane Font (03:57):
Who are you?
Vince Font (03:59):
My name is Vince, better known as the Ghost Keeper
.
Jane Font (04:03):
And I am the Ghost Keeper, jane, also known as the
Ghost Keeper, and I am the Ghost.
Vince Font (04:05):
Keeper Jane, also known as the Ghost Keeper Wait.
That's what we said oh,together we are the Ghost
Keepers.
Jane Font (04:10):
Man, we are rusty on this, aren't we?
It's almost like we haven'tdone it for six months, but when
?
Vince Font (04:14):
you live in a dungeon for six months, you get
a little rusty.
And one thing I wanted to saythe news story that mentioned
that we had no snacks is nottrue.
Jane Font (04:30):
We had lots of food to eat, Unfortunately, it was I
thought we weren't going to talkabout that?
Vince Font (04:34):
Well, I have to talk about it because people are
going to say it's like if youwere in the Andes for 13 weeks
and you came out of it notstarved, what did you eat?
Everybody wants to know.
Nobody's passing judgment, wejust want to know what you ate.
Well, remember that food, thatwe're always that ghostly
ectoplasm, that we're feedingthe ghosts.
(04:56):
Yeah, well, we had to eat that.
Jane Font (05:00):
You get used to it after a while.
At first it was really gross,the texture you cannot imagine.
Those of you who have foodtexture issues like me.
I don't recommend it.
But you know, when there'snothing else you have to do it.
And after a while it kind ofgrew on me.
(05:20):
It was like that scene inYellow Jackets.
No, not like that at all.
It was like that scene in peterjackson's movie bad taste, oh
yeah yeah, you know what I'mtalking about yeah at first it's
like no, and then afterwards,it's like more alien vomit.
(05:41):
No, don't say that.
No, I wasn't going to say it.
Vince Font (05:46):
If they haven't seen it yet, that'll make them see
it yeah it was Anyway anotherthing I have a bone to pick with
you.
Get it, Not a skeleton bone,but a chicken bone.
I don't know it is the bonethat it was suddenly my fault
that we got locked down.
Jane Font (06:03):
It was.
Vince Font (06:05):
The door was locked.
Jane Font (06:06):
It was not locked, vince, there's not even a lock
on the door.
Vince Font (06:10):
I looked afterwards.
They could have been holdingthe door closed.
Jane Font (06:14):
Oh yeah, they were definitely holding the door
closed, I mean.
Vince Font (06:16):
I pushed, I tried my hardest to get us out of there
for at least half an hour and itdid not work.
Jane Font (06:21):
Don't laugh.
Vince Font (06:25):
That whole six months.
He gave it a good 30 minutes.
Well, and then when theyfinally came and got us, we were
very glad and we're back.
We're back to resume our dutiesas the Ghost Keepers of the
Castle of Spirits podcast andthank you for listening and
thank you for all your support.
When we were away, we came back, logged online and discovered
(06:46):
we had a lot of people lookingfor us.
One of them was our dentistbecause we were behind on a bill
, but I successfully managed toevade that one, however-.
Jane Font (06:56):
But in all seriousness, the last six months
, I think, have beenextraordinarily stressful and
strange for everyone.
Vince Font (07:07):
Not just the people underground.
Jane Font (07:19):
Right, primary reason we haven't been around for the
last six months boils down to mebecause I was kind of
experiencing a really deliciouscocktail of burnout, anxiety and
depression.
And let me tell you, when youget those three together, gears
(07:40):
just stop turning.
You know things, things stop,and so I had a really hard time
kind of doing a lot of things.
But you know, I saw a doctor, Igot rid of it.
So a doctor got rid of it, goton some medication which has
(08:04):
been enormously helpful, andthat's not something I ever
thought that I would do.
I always kind of felt againstthat.
For whatever reason, you'restruggling with your mental
(08:24):
health and you haven't reachedout for help, because of
whatever the myriad reasons arethat we tell ourselves we're not
going to or that we can't, orwhatever.
I encourage you to do so it'seven just reaching out and
saying you know what?
I need some help.
I can't handle this on my own.
It's incredibly empowering and,um, you know, just knowing that
(08:45):
you had the strength to do thatis is enough to start making you
feel at least a little bitbetter.
Vince Font (08:52):
So yeah, real talk.
And it's not.
It's not even alwaysnecessarily medical help.
I mean, you should ask for help, but you know I wasn't immune
from any of that myself.
But you know, I wasn't immunefrom any of that myself, and
what I did was I resumed mymartial arts studies.
You know, when I was 15, I tookTaekwondo.
40 years later I picked it upagain.
(09:14):
But having something like thathas been really helpful also.
So it can you know.
Self-help can take a lot ofdifferent forms.
Mine just happens to bethrowing my back out every time
I do a back kick and I'm apurple belt now.
Eldra Graves (09:31):
So if you hold real.
Vince Font (09:32):
Still I could possibly harm you.
Jane Font (09:36):
Don't struggle too much and he could take you.
Vince Font (09:41):
That's right, but one thing that I really wanted
to do when we got back is tosort of catch up with some of
the people who actually reachedout to us and expressed their
genuine concern with what wasgoing on, which I totally
understand.
Jane Font (09:55):
Yeah, for sure, and we do have several messages in
the lounge and if you guys havesomething you'd just like to say
to us, say hi, provide asuggestion, tell us, we suck.
Say hi to Mr Moon, whatever youwant, just head to the lounge
(10:22):
castlespiritscom slash loungeand you can give us a little
chat.
So this first message is fromanonymous.
There's no name, but they saidI love the podcast but haven't
heard from you in a while.
I wanted to send a message tosay that I hope the ghosts
haven't done anythingunspeakable to you.
In all seriousness, I hopeyou're both well and doing all
right physically, emotionallyand spiritually, all of it.
(10:43):
Happy holidays to you both andI hope your new year is a good
one.
And thank you and happyholidays to you as well.
I'm sorry that we're like fivemonths on and just getting back
around to you.
Vince Font (10:56):
And I had a good back and forth with one of our
listeners, Jeff Sovich.
Hey, Jeff, he messaged us nottoo long ago.
Thanks for noticing that.
We're gone until March.
Jeff, he messaged us not toolong ago.
Thanks for noticing that we'regone until March.
Jeff, he said hey, Vince andJane, is everything okay there
in the castle?
You've been pretty quiet lately.
Well, you know, if we had knownwe could have gotten out, or if
(11:17):
you'd come looking for us, wewould have been here a lot
sooner, oh shots fired.
But yeah, thank you very much,Jeff, for the support and for
looking for us.
Jane Font (11:27):
And Jeff.
Just ignore Vince, he's just agrumpy old guy.
We have a message from Austin,who says just an avid reader
that enjoys hearing about thestranger side of our reality,
Engineering student andparanormal aficionado.
Science cannot explaineverything and you're right,
(11:50):
Austin, it can.
And thank you for being here.
We appreciate your message.
Vince Font (11:55):
Yeah, thanks, and I sorry, Jeff.
I just realized that thatmessage was sent to us in March
of 2024.
So oops.
So it turns out we do this alot.
Jane Font (12:11):
Okay, real talk for a minute here, vince.
Yeah, we need to both, rightnow, make a pledge to our
audience.
Okay, we will not disappearagain without some kind of
explanation.
Or yeah, we didn't.
We didn't anticipatedisappearing.
It just kind of happened.
(12:31):
And then the farther away wegot from it, the the harder it
was to find our way back to it.
Vince Font (12:38):
So we promise not to do that again if you promise
never to stop listening, that'sa contract yeah, see if we
disappear again.
Jane Font (12:46):
Guys, please come look in the cellar.
Vince Font (12:50):
Yeah, yeah.
If Jeff had come look in thecellar, we wouldn't have been.
Jane Font (12:54):
Oh, now it's poor Jeff.
It's all laid at his feet again.
Vince Font (12:58):
However, Taryn did message us through Facebook
saying I haven't seen anythingnew from you all, Are you okay?
Jane Font (13:06):
That was in all, are you okay?
That was in January.
Vince Font (13:08):
She acted fairly quickly, only three months since
we'd gone missing, butliterally three months to the
day since we'd gone missing.
And she said glad the hungryghosts haven't gotten you.
Jane Font (13:19):
Well, I mean they did , but-.
Vince Font (13:24):
Not in the way we're thinking.
Jane Font (13:25):
Right.
So Lola also sent us a message.
It just says hi, I love thisplace.
Thank you, Lola.
We love this place too, and welove it even more when you're
here with us.
Vince Font (13:37):
And then in March we got a message over at Instagram
.
You can follow us on Instagramand Facebook at Castle of
Spirits, this one from WalterFigueroa, who is apparently a
very cool artist.
Did I say artists?
He's just one artist, but helooks like he maybe has eight
arms or something, because he'svery talented.
He said hi and hello, I've beena longtime listener to your
(13:58):
podcast on Amazon and I haven'tseen any new episodes since
October of last year.
Are you guys Okay, hope all iswell.
And I communicated with Walter.
I said thank you very much andhe said I was starting to get
worried.
I love listening to yourpodcast.
Well, big hugs to you both andyour kitties.
Have a great weekend, thankweekend.
(14:21):
And, of course, walter, youtotally forgot our dog Freya.
She's offended, she's pissed,she's coming after you, so I
would just, if you come overhere, bring treats.
Jane Font (14:26):
Yeah, Our good friend Amy sent us a message.
Amy Duke.
She says just let me know.
This makes me feel really badthat we, that we ran off.
Just let me know you guys arealive and well.
I just discovered the podcast afew weeks ago and it's getting
me through some tough times.
(14:46):
I feel like you guys are peopleI would sit and chill with and
giggle about the weirdness oflife.
I hope to see you guys returnto the podcast in 2025.
I just hope all is well.
More, though, you guys are aspooky light in the darkness
more than you realize.
Take care and stay spooky.
Oh, Amy, thank you, and we feelthe same about you and all of
(15:09):
our dear listeners.
So, just to catch up with youguys like, what's been up?
Seen any good movies, Read anygood books?
Anything good and creepy happenwhile we were away.
Vince Font (15:22):
I know I have one.
I have one.
We saw a really cool movie theother day.
You guys I'm sure you've heardof it because it's playing right
now.
It's a big, big hit.
As far as I know, it's a newMichael B Jordan movie, sinners
so good and directed by RyanCoogler, who did Creed 1, and he
(15:44):
did Fruitvale Station.
But he's also been doing a lotbigger things in the Marvel
universe with Black Panther.
But he proved that he can alsotake on horror, vampires,
vampires.
In this case.
It's kind of like RobertRodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn,
but it takes place in 1930sAmerica, in the South, at a juke
(16:11):
joint.
Jane Font (16:12):
I kind of felt like it was a mix between From Dusk
Till Dawn and the Color Purple.
Vince Font (16:18):
Yeah, I can see that .
Jane Font (16:19):
It's kind of an odd mix, but it worked.
Vince Font (16:22):
And typically I don't get excited about music.
In movies I'm not.
I mean, we've seen movies Idon't know.
Musicals are hit and miss forme.
Jane Font (16:33):
I wouldn't call it a musical.
Vince Font (16:34):
No, it's not a musical, but it's got-.
It featured a lot of music, alot of bluesy music, but also
it's just good, yeah, and it'stasty.
You should see it.
It's something to sink yourteeth in.
Jane Font (16:46):
I don't know if we had talked about it before we
86ed or not, but another moviewe saw last year that we just
could not get enough of is Latenight with the devil oh yeah oh,
so good, so so good.
(17:07):
It's a like a kind of athrowback to 70s, 80s type late
night talk shows, uh, with a alittle demonic possession thrown
in.
Now I am not a fan of demonicpossession stories, movies.
It just all feels like it triesso hard and it's just like it's
(17:33):
so in your face and it justbores me.
It doesn't scare me, I justfind demonic possession boring.
But this one I loved.
I loved it.
Vince Font (17:46):
And did we tell you about Deadstream?
Oh yeah, we might havementioned Deadstream.
Jane Font (17:51):
We may have Deadstream.
It's like a mock YouTube live,where a guy's going into an
abandoned house that'ssupposedly haunted.
He's one of those shockYouTubers who gets banned and
the audience turns against him,but it is hilarious.
Vince Font (18:17):
It's a bit of a grower because the first time we
watched it we weren't sure ifwe liked it.
Jane Font (18:21):
Yeah, I didn't really like it all that much the first
time we saw it.
I liked the first half becauseit's just hilarious, and then we
just kept talking about it andtalking about it and quoting it
and laughing about things.
So we decided to watch it againand now it's one of our
favorites.
So I would definitely giveDeadstream a try.
Vince Font (18:43):
In the intervening time.
Also, David Lynch died.
Jane Font (18:46):
Oh, that was such a heartbreak.
Vince Font (18:48):
It was, but he had done his life's work.
Eldra Graves (18:53):
Yeah.
Vince Font (18:54):
With Twin Peaks of Return from 2017.
Yeah, it stands as the greatestthing I have ever seen TV or
movie.
Jane Font (19:02):
Yeah, I agree.
Vince Font (19:03):
Consider it like an 18 hour movie.
I mean, even if you're not afan of twin peaks, yeah, but if
you're a fan of twin peaks, it'sgoing to blow your mind.
Obviously, a lot of people haveseen it, but when he died it
was like, oh, it's too bad thathe'll never make another great
movie again.
But thank God that he made whathe did when he did, at a time
(19:25):
when most of the older membersof the cast were dying, and the
only thing that I can thinkwould have made it better was if
.
David Bowie had been able toreprise his role as Philip
Jeffries.
Philip Jeffries, that's right,mm.
Jane Font (19:41):
Hmm.
Yeah, philip Jeffries, philipJeffries, that's right, mm-hmm.
Yeah, you know so fewfilmmakers, musicians, you know,
artists in those kind of mediagenres get, you know, have the
ability to like culminate theirentire career into a single
moment, you know, kind of theirmagnum opus before they die.
(20:05):
And I feel like everything inDavid Lynch's career was leading
to that moment, you know, andit just felt like the cherry on
top.
Vince Font (20:23):
And the serendipity of it all too, Was it in Twin
Peaks Firewalk with me.
Jane Font (20:28):
Laura Palmer says I'll see you in 25 years.
Vince Font (20:30):
I'll see you in 25 years and damn, but that thing
didn't come out.
25 years later that series andI love it when that kind of
stuff works in that manner.
Mm-hmm.
Jane Font (20:41):
So, since we've had quite a bit of time to think
about the show when you'resitting down there in that
cellar for six months you got alot of time to think and we
decided that we want to try andshake up the show a little bit,
mix it up just a bit.
Of course, we're still going tobe reading stories.
(21:01):
However, friends, real talk, ifyou don't submit your stories
to us eventually-.
Vince Font (21:10):
Yeah, we're never going to hear about them.
Jane Font (21:11):
We're going to well and eventually we're going to
run out of stories, so we canmaintain this podcast as long as
you are sending us your damnstories.
Vince Font (21:22):
I mean the website castle of spiritscom has like
4,600 submissions that have comeover the last almost 30 years,
yeah, but not all of them aregreat.
Jane Font (21:34):
And not all of them are readable on the show.
There's many that areextraordinarily long, some that
you know they're just notreadable for one reason or
another.
We are looking at some otherways that we can use that
content, you know, outside ofjust reading it.
(21:55):
But yeah, we need you guys tosubmit your stories.
But yeah, we need you guys tosubmit your stories.
But also we thought we shouldstart doing some little segments
, maybe in between stories.
You know, just fun, differentthings.
So today we decided to use youas our guinea pigs on a brand
(22:16):
new segment that we hope tobring to you every once in a
great while, and that is Wouldyou Rather Paranormal Edition?
Oh no, I don't know that.
I'm good at this.
You're going to be good at it.
Vince Font (22:32):
All right, I've been around on the Earth, but I
don't remember ever playing.
Would you Rather yeah?
Jane Font (22:38):
Vince actually grew up on some other planet not
Earth, because he is an alien,so we're going to teach him how
to play.
Would you Rather ParanormalEdition?
And I have a feeling that mineare going to be better than his,
so I'll go first.
(22:58):
You ready?
Vince Font (22:59):
Okay, so you're going to ask me a hypothetical
question.
Jane Font (23:02):
Yep, and you're going to tell me which one you'd
rather, and you have to justifyit.
Vince Font (23:06):
Oh.
Jane Font (23:07):
And then I'll tell you which one I would rather.
Okay, good.
All right.
Would you rather be haunted bya ghost who smells like canned
sardines or a demon who livesunder your bed and sings
Christmas songs all night long?
Vince Font (23:28):
Oh God, so you're making me choose between
sardines and Christmas songs.
Now, how bad are the sardinesmells?
Is it like an open can?
Jane Font (23:36):
of sardines.
That's stuck under my nose.
It's not a closed can ofsardines.
Vince Font (23:40):
Now wait, what was it again Haunted by a ghost?
Does he live in a special placein my house?
Jane Font (23:46):
No, it follows you everywhere.
When you're in the house, allyou smell is sardines.
Vince Font (23:50):
Oh, okay, so I can get away from it by spending
time away from the house, but Ican also do the same thing by
sleeping elsewhere, so I don'thave to listen to Christmas
tunes.
Jane Font (23:59):
Yes, but you still have to live in the house.
So which one do you choose?
Vince Font (24:04):
You know, sorry to everybody out there who loves
Christmas songs, and there aresome Christmas tunes that I dig.
Jane Font (24:11):
And you know, Vince, I'm on the same team as you.
I love canned sardines.
Sorry, our dog is deciding thatshe wants to wander around, so
there's some bonking noises.
I apologize.
Yeah, I love canned sardines,and there's a thing called nose
blindness.
(24:31):
Would be less torture for me tosmell sardines all the time
than to listen to especially bad.
Vince Font (24:47):
I'm not going to name any contemporary artists
because I don't want to upsetanybody just imagine the voice
of a demon under your bedsinging christmas songs all
night long.
Okay, so it's.
It's a demon.
I forgot about that.
Jane Font (24:59):
Yeah, no, that sounds just awful Like.
Don't shoot me during the snow,right, right, yeah, no, I'm not
into that.
Vince Font (25:05):
I'll go with the ghost.
With sardine smell?
Yes, because occasionally Imight enjoy eating the sardines.
Can I eat them?
Jane Font (25:13):
No, it just smells like sardines.
No, that's part of the torture.
Torture Only smell, no sardines.
Vince Font (25:18):
All right, then I guess I'll go with choice number
one.
What do I win?
Jane Font (25:27):
The honor of knowing that we picked the same.
Vince Font (25:30):
Okay.
Jane Font (25:30):
So now it's your turn .
You have to, would you?
Vince Font (25:33):
rather me.
You better make it good, I gotto think of something here, all
right.
All right, I think I got one,okay.
Jane Font (25:49):
Would you rather have a ghost lick your face randomly
?
Vince Font (25:51):
throughout the course of the day and night, or
have a zombie chew on yourtoenails when you're sleeping.
Oh, I mean, I guess, more likenibble.
Let's do nibble not chew?
Jane Font (25:54):
That's not even a question.
I'll take the ghost licking myface.
Vince Font (25:58):
Really yeah With that ectoplasmic bad breath.
Jane Font (26:02):
Well, we just spent six months in the cellar.
Vince Font (26:06):
Yeah, I don't want to relive that.
Jane Font (26:07):
How many times did you get your face licked?
Vince Font (26:10):
A lot.
Jane Font (26:13):
It might have mixed things up if I had a zombie
getting all toesy on me.
Okay, but here's the thing.
A we are already used to beinglicked in the face by ghosts,
right?
So that's, old hat B, whatyou're failing to realize about
zombies chewing on your toenails.
Zombies stink.
They are rotting flesh.
Vince Font (26:35):
They smell bad.
Also, they eat your body.
They don't just eat your brains.
That's just in the Return ofthe Living Dead universe, right?
They eat flesh, so they wouldeat your feet.
They don't just eat your brains, that's just in the Return of
the Living Dead universe, right?
They eat flesh, so they wouldeat your feet, I guess.
Jane Font (26:43):
Yes, toenails.
They're not going to stop there, because toenails are
non-nutritive for zombies.
Vince Font (26:49):
You give them a toe and they take a foot Right See.
Jane Font (26:53):
Ghost licking my face all day.
What about you guys?
Vince Font (26:59):
Who oh them?
Yeah, sorry.
Jane Font (27:01):
What do you choose out of our would-you-rathers?
You should head over to thelounge and let us know.
Vince Font (27:11):
And if you have any would-you-rathers for us, we'll
read your would-you-rathers onair.
Yeah, guys, send me a good oneto ask Jane, because I don't
know that I can think ofanything else cool like that.
Jane Font (27:21):
Give us those, would you rathers, and let us know if
this is a segment that you wouldbe interested in hearing more.
If you have any other ideas forsegments, we've got a whole
list of things we'll be tryingout.
I'm here to tell you, guys,some of these segments are gonna
be bangers, some of thesesegments are gonna be floppers
fl.
Vince Font (27:38):
Floppers.
Jane Font (27:38):
So Floppers and bangers Just you know we
appreciate you hanging in therewith us while we navigate the
bangers and floppers waters.
Vince Font (27:47):
Oh wow, would you rather navigate the okay?
Jane Font (27:51):
So, yeah, in our next episode we are going to be
getting back to reading youstories and, you know, take it
back to the spooky tip, and wereally hope that you will come
along for the ride.
Also, I just want to remind youthat we have a YouTube channel
(28:13):
so you guys can find our podcaston all of the podcast platforms
.
You know, wherever it is youlisten to podcasts, you can find
us there, but we also have ourpodcast on YouTube.
So if you do YouTube music oryou just want to sit and look at
some pretty cool graphics if Ido say so myself and listen to
(28:37):
us on your TV, there's that aswell.
So maybe just head over to ourYouTube channel, castle of
Spirits, and give us a subscribe.
Vince Font (28:48):
And also leave us reviews on Apple Podcasts or
Spotify, for that matter.
But I do recognize the factthat reviews at those two places
can help drive up visibilityfor the podcast and we have
shockingly few reviews at eitherof those places and I'm
disappointed, not that youpersonally, you guys, but you
know, I'm just disappointed ingeneral.
Jane Font (29:10):
Oh, and when Vince gets disappointed.
Vince Font (29:13):
People get locked into cellars.
Eldra Graves (29:15):
Into the yeah, into the cellar to the seller.
Jane Font (29:18):
And then another idea that we have going forward is
there are a couple of collabswith other people in the
industry that we are looking at,so that's exciting.
Vince Font (29:34):
I can think of a couple of people I'd like to, I
would love to do some sort of acollaboration with, just because
we're fans.
Jane Font (29:42):
Yep.
Vince Font (29:43):
And there's also new acquaintances as well.
Jane Font (29:47):
So be on the lookout for that and, you know, if you
have just any ideas, things thatyou would like for us to cover,
maybe topics or you know,whatever ideas you have the more
.
I mean, you know, know, I knowI'm putting a lot on you right
now, but the more you guys uh,interact and give us ideas and
(30:07):
send us your stories and things,the the longer we can continue
to bring you these episodes also, if you know somebody who mows
lawns, so I mean I'm not, I'mnot going to go do it.
Vince Font (30:20):
No.
Jane Font (30:21):
And the ghosts are good for nothing.
Vince Font (30:23):
Hey, maybe we can get that zombie who likes to
chew on toenails to go out intothe backyard.
In the front yard, ew and weedsnap.
Jane Font (30:33):
Like in Stephen King's short story the Lawnmower
man.
Vince Font (30:36):
Yeah.
Jane Font (30:37):
No, that's gross.
So that's all I had for thisepisode.
What about you events?
Vince Font (30:44):
interestingly, just in time, because you can hear
the music coming down the hall Ithought I heard that you all
know what that means, and nowthat we know that we can be
victimized by these ghosts, wehave to snap to it.
Yeah, so thank you for joiningus on this edition of the Castle
of Spirits True Ghost Storiespodcast.
Jane Font (31:02):
And just a bit of parting advice stay out of the
cellar.
