Kenny Biddle, science enthusiast, Skeptical Help Bar videocast host, writer for the “I Am Kenny Biddle” blog on Facebook and Skeptical Inquirer magazine, and owner of a backyard tiki bar, joins us for a laugh-filled episode discussing the credibility of some of the most famous hauntings in America. We debunk photos from The Stanley Hotel (well-known as the inspiration for The Shining’s Overlook Hotel), review Meagan and Kenny’s encyclopedic Ghost Hunters knowledge at Eastern State Penitentiary, reveal the misunderstood history of the Baxter Avenue Morgue, and discuss the maybe not-so-strange happenings in the Astoria Underground Tunnels. Of course, no ghost-filled episode is complete without the Ghost Adventures crew! To hear about these haunted locations, and get an update on the history of Newme, listen now!

Freddy Krueger. Slenderman. James P. Sullivan (Sully). All three of these characters have one thing in common – they are modern day boogeymen, and their goal is to scare our children. In episode 8, we talk about the Boogeyman’s cultural origins, and his surprising importance in children’s development. We also discuss how the story of A Nightmare on Elm Street may be more real than you’d think. Soon you will know what is really lurking under your child’s bed (Spoiler alert: it’s nothing. Nothing is under their bed.).
