In this episode, Matt talks with Rob Hawthorn, who creates and leads ghost tours in Mendocino County, California. They discuss the process of gathering stories, putting them together, and leading a ghost tour as well as how ghost stories represent the community from which they come.
Special Guest Rob Hawthorn: a writer, history buff, paranormal enthusiast, and bookseller on Califonia's Mendocino Coast. His volunteer work with the Kelley House Museum has allowed him to connect with many fascinating people and has allowed him to flourish in all those aspects. Rob is always interested in hearing the next local (or not local) ghost story.

Shadow people are an enigmatic paranormal phenomenon, possibly an indication that beings from some alternate dimension are attempting to intrude into our world… or they’re just odd tricks of human perception that people have made a lot of assumptions about. In this episode, Matt discusses the history of shadow people as a phenomenon and what they may tell us about the development of folklore in an age of science fiction.

72. Hauntology
If you spend much time reading academic research on ghost stories and ghost tourism, you will inevitably come across the term “Hauntology” which, despite its name, is more related to politics than ghosts. However, the term is useful in understanding the social meaning and purpose of many ghost stories. In this episode, Matt explains the concept and discusses its applicability to supernatural beliefs and claims.
