The Ghost Furnace -Episode 104 "Two Taverns"
On this episode we look at two historically interesting locations in the city of brotherly love. Both the City Tavern and The General Wayne have wild stories, even without all the ghosts. Some of the stories which come out of these places reflect the hundreds of years of history that we don't often see in public/commercial locations in the states. Here is the City Tavern photo we reference: reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/164ndnr/historic_tavern_in_philadelphia_while_on_a_night/ Please check out our, now award winning, episode on Hemlocks to Hellbenders If you have a story you'd like to share, find us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube or [email protected] -
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 103 "Occam's Laser"
On this week's episode we look at the rash of drone sightings happening on the east coast recently. There are a lot of videos out there showing various lights in the sky. Theories range from the very mundane to the very strange.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 101 "PA Thunderbirds" On this episode we take a deep dive down the burrowing owl hole into a topic we have touched on in the past, thunderbirds. Concentrating on a small section of Pennsylvania gives a view into a history of sightings that's new to us, but gives an interesting snapshot into this phenomena. Are these sightings abnormally large birds, a relic population of historic animals, spiritual signs, misidentification of known birds, some combination of these factors, or something stranger?

Ghost Furnace Episode 100 - "657 Boulevard" In this episode we take a look back on the last few weeks before getting into the strange case of the Watcher of Westfield NJ. Was it a disturbed neighbor, a prank, a ploy, or something more strange yet? If you're not familiar with this case at all yet, we can recommend the article linked below. This case is a bit a rabbit hole, but has some interesting turns that make us wonder what is really going on here.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 99 "We need ghosts, we can't recon without them: Tim Grieve-Carlson on Shoemaker" On this episode, we speak with local author, professor and folklorist Timothy Grieve-Carlson about one of our long-time subjects, Henry W. Shoemaker. Shoemaker was Pennsylvania's first state Folklorist, prolific author and preservationist who is responsible for shaping much more about our modern idealition of the people, places and stories we love. While the origins of some of Shoemaker's stories don't hold up to modern academic standards, the passion and perspective for the people and places he championed can't be called into question.

The Ghost Furnace - Ghost Lites No.6 Brady's Run Redux
In response to the last episodes EVP's, we wanted to look at them again through a lens quite a few listeners had suggested. Like many historic sets of evidence in the paranormal, the Sierra sounds are polarizing. You can find examples from the author online, we don't have them linked here for copyright reasons but we would suggest giving them a listen for context. We have a few other interpretations we are researching so might have more on this topic again in the future. If you have an idea on what is in there, please let us know your ideas! If you have a story you'd like to share or feedback we would love to hear from you. You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or [email protected] -

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 97 "EVPs of Brady's Run"
In this episode we look at two evps (electronic voice phenomena), which we submitted by a friend and listener. These were captured unintentionally, and were not heard aloud at the time. Which put them into a curious category. We talk about these pieces of evidence in relation to other evps we've come across while exploring the context and setting. What do you think is being said in these recordings? If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and [email protected] -
The Ghost Furnace - Episode 96 "Hawk Mountain" We only need to travel a few short miles west of the location of our last episode to get into this week's stories. Hawk Mountain is now a nature sanctuary and one of the best places around to watch migrating birds, hike, appreciate the outdoors, and if you're lucky, you'll see a hatchet wielding ghost of the former innkeeper. For a mountain that is so beautiful, it certainly has a history to make locals and visitors alike wonder if something sinister lives along the base of the ancient gathering spot.

Though where it came from and how it evolved is a matter of debate among folklorists.
