Remembering Ray Garton
Friend of the show Ray Garton, author of many horror books including In a Dark Place, passed away April 21, 2024 of lung cancer.
This show is largely a rebroadcast of episode #039 from 2011.
Ray was one of the first and most prominent people who worked with Ed and Lorraine Warren who then went on to call them out for their duplicity. He wouldn't be the only one either, as we covered in The Warren Omission a few years later.
Content Warning: Many of the alleged events that Ray wrote about for the Warrens involved sexual and physical trauma, and this episode needs the explicit tag due to discussion of that content.

Great show
For everybody who loves monsters and science
Very unpleasant hosts
I mostly agree with them but I can’t stand the way they mock and talk down to people for believing in these things. There are plenty of better podcasts were skeptics discuss monsters and alternative beliefs in an interesting manner without being a-holes.
