    Skinwalkers & Cultural Appropriation with Christopher Allen Brewer

    Over the last few years, more listeners have requested this topic than any other, but it's a story that isn't ours to tell. And perhaps shouldn't be told at all. Native American Paranormal Adviser, Christopher Allen Brewer, helps us navigate our curiosity without shame as we discuss cultural appropriation and tales of skinwalkers on this episode of… Unspookable.   Host: Elise Parisian Written, Produced, Edited by: Nate DuFort Music Direction and Composition: Jesse Case Logo by: Natalie Khuen You can find Unspookable on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram at: https://www.tiktok.com/@unspookablepodcast https://twitter.com/ImUnspookable https://www.instagram.com/unspookablepodcast/ Special thanks this week to Christopher Allen Brewer.

    Minecraft and Herobrine

    We likely don't have to tell you that Minecraft is a global phenomenon, but that doesn't mean that it's all fun and games. Many listeners of the show have written in to see if we could comment on the spookier side of everyone's favorite blocky sandbox game. So, we're doing just that as we discuss both the popularity of Minecraft and the mysterious figure of Herobrine on this episode of Unspookable.

  4. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with David Kreizman of Gen-Z Media

    8 OCT

    The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with David Kreizman of Gen-Z Media

    Washington Irving's 1820 tale of a headless horseman who terrorizes the village of Sleepy Hollow is widely considered to be one of the first American ghost stories and, we'd argue, still one of the scariest. Why has this tale and this figure endured for over 200 years inspiring films, cartoons, games, and even entire podcasts? We talk this week with David Kreizman, the CCO of Gen-Z Media and Co-Creator and Writer of their hit show The Hollow to find out. That and more on this episode of Unspookable. The Hollow is available now wherever you get your podcasts.  And you may want to catch up on the GZM series Nightingale as this month the show returns with the all new Nightingale Halloween, a five episode series where we head back to the mysterious land of Nightingale.  You can find out more about The Hollow, Nightingale, Mina & Lucy’s Guide to Slaying Dracula, and all of the great GZM shows at https://gzmshows.com/shows Unspookable Host: Elise Parisian Written, Produced, Edited by: Nate DuFort Music Direction and Composition: Jesse Case Logo by: Natalie Khuen Episode Artwork: Ichabod Crane, by William J.

  5. The White Lady

    1 OCT

    The White Lady

    Many of us have heard of the Lady in White or the White Lady, a ghostly woman in misty white, feeling despair, or anger. Why is this imagery so common, not just in North America, but around the world? Is she someone to be afraid of? Someone who needs help? Who is this woman? We’ll be talking about the White Lady, who she haunts, and why, on this episode of Unspookable.

  6. Atlantis

    17 SEPT

    Atlantis

    What if we told you that 10,000 years ago there was a sophisticated society ruled by the children of the sea god Poseidon, with stunning architecture and quality of life similar to our own? What if this society contained a city with unimaginable wealth—and maybe even technology beyond our current understanding—but it was swallowed by the sea in a great catastrophe, leaving no trace behind? We’re talking all about the mythical lost city of Atlantis on this episode of Unspookable.

    Ravens and Crows

    Crows and Ravens are considered to be some of the smartest animals in the world, with intelligence comparable to chimpanzees.
