2025/04/27

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

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 115 "State College Sasquatch" This week we look at a recent report of a bigfoot in an unlikely, and familiar location. The area along Spring Creek between State College and Bellefonte is a place we have fished many times over the years. It holds a special place in our hearts. So when we heard someone had recently reported a class A encounter, we were eager to look into the story. In many ways this is a textbook sighting, how that affects your opinion of the veracity of

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 114 "Confluence" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace we look at two seemingly paranormal disappearances, one of Charles Ashmore and David Lang. These stories have all the hallmarks, tropes and clues that lead to conjecture of everything from aliens to other dimensions. As per usual, the thread of truth and clarity that runs through these stories isn't what we expected, but maybe should have. If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram,

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 112 "Wildwood Cemetery" On this week's episode we head to the center of our commonwealth to Williamsport.

The story is told over and over again, just like other urban legends all over the world. The part that often seems overlooked in these stories, is

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 110 "The Ring in the Basement" The role video plays in the paranormal hasn't changed much over the years. People generally see what they want, or don't want to see in them. What has changed is the prevalence and quality of cameras in not only our investigations, but our day to day lives. This week we look at three videos shared with us that seem to contain anomalies. Ghosts or not, videos like this give us a great example of why deciding what we are often looking at

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 107 "The Falcon Lake Incident" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace, we look at one of the most famous cases in Canadian UFO lore, Falcon Lake. What sets this 1967 case apart is the presence of physical evidence, the massive response by the public and officials, and the legacy it produced.

Tourists come in to enjoy the lake, high desert, forests and all the other natural attractions the area has to offer.

We look at some of those stories and what locations like this, with huge fluctuations in population, might have to tell us

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 105 "Old Man of the Forest" On this week's episode we look at a few creatures which have made the jump from folkloric rumors to taxonomized records of mainstream science. An occurrence which doesn't happen often, but when it does, there is a blueprint established which allows for speculation on what else might be out there in our vast world.

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.

There are a lot of videos out there showing various lights in the sky. Theories range from the very mundane to the very strange. How this "flap" is being reported, discussed and documented is reminiscent of other UFO incidents that draw some interesting parallels and contrasts. Here is a link to the 1952 video Nic references:

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

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. Cut article we reference in the show:

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.
