Are you looking for a new cryptid? Haunted Hotels? Ghost Roads? Venomous snakes? We got you covered. For an area only covering a few counties, there is an absolute wealth of s...

On this episode of the Ghost Furnace, we start our film experiment down at a local park which has a storied history of activity. This particular way of supposedly making contact with the other side comes from an old John Keel book and also a more contemporary piece of parapsychological work called the Scole Experiment. We took some cues from both and added some of our own nuance. Though, like most experiments, even if it is wildly ...

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 168 "Ghost Light no.9 - Knock Knock"

This week's episode is a ghost light, we were originally going to simply prep for our upcoming experiment in a local park. However, there was some recent activity we thought we would share with everyone. Sometimes determining if something is paranormal in origin or simply a mundane coincidence, is all about context.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 167 "Ghost Writers"

This week we share an old Dr. PA episode which we feel is relevant to the season ahead. It's hard pinning down where stories come from, especially in a small town. We've added and retracted plenty ourselves over the years. Things we thought were gospel truth, only to find contemporary sources that contradict the accepted narrative. Yet others, we thought...

Everyone has lost loved ones. Even in the least tragic situations, it can still be a shattering experience. There are lots of healthy, and unhealthy ways to process these losses. One element which can help,...

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 165 "Spirit Communication"

On this week's episode we ask some fundamental questions about spirit communication and its distinction from channeling. When using tools while ghost hunting such as pendulums, dowsing, or ouiji are the spirits acting on those objects, or on us? Being safe and comfortable has to play a roll in the effectiveness of these communications, just like with the living....

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 164 "Lost & Found"

On this week's episode, we share a recent family story with a happy ending, to try and reset the vibe on some of the darker content we've had this summer. There is something about things coming in threes. When it comes to the paranormal, it's no different. Often times when we have recurring sightings, multiple witnesses, angels, or synchronicitie...

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 163 "Close to Home"

This week we wander the backroads while talking updates to a cold case that has been on our minds as of late. True crime is a difficult area for us. The points where it intersects with folklore can be valuable for inspecting how we deal with tragedy, but this runs the risk of becoming too objective and removed from events that still affect people in our communities to this ...

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 162 "Return to Dent's Run"

On this episode, we head back to Elk County to the little town of Dent's Run. We've talked about this little gem, nestled in the PA Wilds, on more than one occasion, but it is truly the folkloric gift that keeps on giving. This latest development brings dramatic sounding new information to the table, whether you think it helps, or hurts the likelihood of there b...

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 161 "Scotia Barrens" 

Sometimes you come across a location which feels like they are in their own little world. Scotia is one of those. Set apart geographically, ecologically, and according to some, spiritually. After finally getting to explore it, we have a few thoughts to share along with the story of the Black Ghost of Scotia.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 160 "Black Cat Tarot Redux"

On this week's show we welcome back Dana from Black Cat Tarot. Nic has never had a reading before. So we thought this was a great excuse to give him some insights on a few questions, via the cards, but it would give all those who have never had a reading an example of how these sessions work, hopefully demystifying the process a bit.

On this episode we take another run at recording an on-site episode at a local historic and reportedly haunted cemetery. The first time around, we were plagued by electronic problems, this time we fared much better, but not without some weirdness.

On this week's episode we look at the latest cache of UPA evidence released by the pentagon over the last month. There are a lot of documents, photos and videos to sort through, and some dedicated researchers are no doubt already pulling out the most compelling and connective files to help bolster the hypothesis that there are unexplained things...

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 156 "Dr. PA - Murder Swamp"

The week we go back about 10 years to a Dr. Pennsylvania episode which was probably our most graphic subject, the murder swamp. This is one of those stories that when we started digging into it, we couldn't believe it wasn't more known, or talked about. Which made us start to wonder, what other horrors were hidden in plain sight around us?

This week we head to the center of the commonwealth, to a unique park nestled high in the Allegheny plateau. Like much of the area, its history, stories and folklore are as diverse as the ecosystems they are spawned from. In this case, the anaerobic bog, carnivorous plants and dark waters give us ghost lights, phantom hitchhikers and mysterious cryptids. 

The reason we are focusing on this park prese...

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 153 "Tri-County Terror"

On this weeks episode, we start with one of our favorite stories from a local investigator Stan Gordon. A classic from 1973 that was formative early on around the correlation between UFO sightings and other strange events and, in this case, creatures. Then we touch of a few of his newer stories that fill out the spectrum of weirdness.

This week we cover an almost forgotten and contemporarily maligned genre of music which had the rare distinction of burning bright enough to influence Rock & Roll greats, while remaining dim enough to fly under the radar of the average listener. For those of you who have been asking us about this rise and fall of this movement, we finally have enou...

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com. To unlock ad-free listening, exclusive content, and connect with your fellow Disgos, go to www.disgracelandpod.com to become an All Access member. Rocka Rolla.
