    Ad Free: Haunting in the Military

    Ad Free: Haunting in the Military

    For most enemies, the rules of engagement are clear. But what about when it's an enemy you can't see? Or one who defies your understanding of the natural world entirely? On this episode, we read stories of soldiers who found themselves in exactly this position - finding themselves fighting among - and against - beings who defy easy categorization.

    Also on this episode: Paul's got a new dog, Brennan avoids throwing the book at someone, and ectoplasm gets ruined forever.

Motive to Murder ,

Absolutely Love the Podcast

I listen to the podcast everyday at work, slowly working through every episode. A fantastic team who not only narrate great stories but make you laugh with their ultimately epic friendship. Keep up the good work guys.

Love these fellas

Found by happy accident and I’m an immediate addict. The stories are great and well told and the chat and banter between Paul and Brennan makes you feel like you have a couple of your best mates in the room. Love it.

Gordiepne ,

Great show

This show is brilliant! The back and forth between Brennan and Paul is great, it can be funny, serious, emotional, informative and always entertaining.
The paranormal topics and stories are always great too.
