    Can Your Mind Create a Haunting? w/ Brett The Haunted Therapist | Ghost City Podcast

    Let us know who you want to hear next! A ghost hunt can feel like pure external reality until you ask a tougher question: what if the haunting is also happening inside us? Tim Nealon sits down with Brett Harpp, LHMC-D, a licensed mental health counselor and EMDR certified therapist known as the Haunted Therapist, to explore why paranormal experiences can be authentic, eerie, and still deeply shaped by the brain, the nervous system, and the stories we carry. We dig into the surprising links between trauma and paranormal sensitivity, why curiosity can act like an antidote to anxiety, and how “patterns” may matter even when lab style repeatability is impossible. Brett shares what it’s like to run a private practice in a reportedly haunted building, how clients describe consistent phenomena, and why the observer may be part of the experiment. From there we get practical: meditation, discernment, and a simple five senses grounding exercise you can use before a ghost investigation or a trip into Bigfoot country. We also tackle the hard edge of the topic: when “possession” or hearing voices might be a mental health crisis, how clinicians can assess anomalous experiences without defaulting to ridicule or blind belief, and why grief is a powerful driver of paranormal seeking. Along the way, Tim brings his own consciousness field theory into the mix, asking whether the brain creates consciousness or receives it, and what that would imply for EVPs, apparitions, and perception itself.

    Can Psychics and Ghost Hunting Equipment Agree? w/ Tawney Lewis | Ghost City Podcast

    Let us know who you want to hear next! A lot of paranormal conversations get stuck in a tired fight: either you “believe in psychics” or you “believe in equipment.” We wanted something more useful than that, so we brought on Tawney Lewis, a longtime paranormal investigator who’s also a certified psychic medium and intuition teacher. She explains how she actually runs a ghost hunting investigation when she’s trying to be accurate, not theatrical: quick walkthroughs, careful notes, then testing the same hotspots with tools like K2 meters and other standard paranormal gear to see what lines up.  We also get real about the credibility problem in mediumship. Tawney doesn’t sugarcoat it: people should be skeptical, because some self-proclaimed mediums rush to charge money without development, boundaries, or ethics. She shares how she discovered mediumship through training, why she prefers calling herself “intuitive” on investigations, and how learning to “turn it off” keeps the work from taking over your life.  If you’ve ever wondered what it means to “tap in,” we break down the clairs in plain English: clairsentient feeling, clairvoyant seeing, clairaudient hearing, and claircognizant knowing. We also talk practical practice ideas you can try at home, why saying the “stupid” detail out loud sometimes matters most, and how haunted locations can ramp up from intent, attention, and even investigators bringing extra energy with them.  Then we go into the stuff everyone asks about: demons, dark entities, and what “not human” can feel like, including a basement encounter Tawney chose to avoid. We close with favorite haunted locations, EVP mysteries, a Gettysburg moment that still gives chills, and where to find Tawny’s upcoming events and classes.

    What Is Bigfoot, Really? w/ Brittany Barbieri | Ghost City Podcast

    Let us know who you want to hear next! A scream in the Rockies. A guard llama sounding the alarm. And a family confession that something stood up on two legs and walked away. We talk with cryptozoologist and on-camera researcher Brittany Barbieri about the moment that flipped her worldview early, and how that kind of fear in an experienced outdoors person becomes a data point you can’t casually explain away. From there, we go deep into the roots of modern cryptozoology through zoologist Ivan Sanderson and the legendary Sanderson files. Brittany explains what changes when you read original letters, notes, casts, and catalogs instead of secondhand internet lore, and why Sanderson’s method of elimination still matters for anyone trying to study an unknown animal responsibly. We also unpack the infamous Florida “penguin footprints” story, how hoaxes spread, and why serious researchers still get targeted. Then things get complicated: the Minnesota Iceman, disturbing implications in Sanderson’s own words, and the uncomfortable question of what Bigfoot might be. We debate ape vs hominin, push back on magical explanations, and talk about treating Sasquatch research like wildlife biology, including why raw sighting counts can be misleading. If you’re curious about Bigfoot, cryptids, and how to start researching without getting lost in the noise, this one is for you.

    Why Do People Keep Seeing Cryptids? w/ Lyle Blackburn | Ghost City Podcast

    Let us know who you want to hear next! People love to laugh at cryptids until a credible witness looks you in the eye and says, “I saw it.” That’s where this conversation gets interesting. We sit down with author and cryptozoologist Lyle Blackburn to talk about Bigfoot, Dogman, and the stranger edge of cryptozoology, but we keep coming back to the real core of the mystery: why modern people keep reporting encounters they can’t explain.  We dig into how eyewitness reports form under stress, bad lighting, quick glimpses, and deep fear, and why local folklore can give the same kind of encounter a totally different name depending on where you are. From Rougarou stories in Louisiana to the sudden rise of “Dogman” as a label, Lyle explains how monster traditions evolve, how internet culture changes reporting, and why some witnesses describe a darker, more threatening presence with canine-shaped creatures than they do with Sasquatch. If you’ve ever wondered whether Dogman is biological, paranormal, or simply misidentified wildlife filtered through legend, you’ll have a lot to chew on.  We also get practical about research. Lyle makes the case for fieldwork, original sources, newspaper archives, and face-to-face interviews over copy-pasted blog posts and shallow “Google research.” Then we go deep on one of the wildest cases: the Lake Worth Monster, a 1969 encounter that involves multiple witnesses, police attention, and a story that stayed consistent inside a family for decades. We round things out with devil monkeys, phantom felines, “animals out of place,” and the future of Bigfoot research, including using AI to analyze patterns as if Sasquatch is a real animal with real habits.  If you’re into Bigfoot, Dogman, cryptozoology, eyewitness testimony, American folklore, and investigative research, hit play and come with us.

    What Do Ghosts Want From Us? w/ Tammie Chavez (Hollyweird Paranormal Podcast) | Ghost City Podcast

    Let us know who you want to hear next! A ghost that asks for nudity cards, a jelly donut, and pear cider sounds like a joke until the activity stops the moment someone finally listens. We sit down with Tammie Chavez of the Hollyweird Paranormal Podcast, a New Orleans native turned Los Angeles costume designer and paranormal investigator, to talk about what actually powers the best ghost stories. Spoiler: it isn’t the gadgets, the catchphrases, or the “prove you’re dead” questions. It’s people, history, and the need to be heard.  We go deep on the big questions that keep investigators up at night: does consciousness survive death, do we have a choice to stay or move on, and why do spirits go silent when we ask what the other side is like? Tammie shares a powerful personal moment after her mother’s death, and we compare notes on the strange patterns that show up when you ask better questions. From haunted theatres and creative “channeling” to community-driven history like the Lopez Adobe, we explore why place, memory, and emotion cling together.  Then we turn to haunted Los Angeles with context, not hype. We talk the Cecil Hotel, the ethics of paranormal content creation, and why the living can be far scarier than the dead in spaces shaped by poverty, trauma, and addiction. Finally, we get nerdy with methodology: shadow people that might be two dimensional, and EVP experiments that suggest voices aren’t “sound” at all, but electromagnetic energy being shaped into speech.  If you care about haunted history, ethical ghost hunting, EVPs, shadow people, and afterlife theories, this one will give you new questions to ask and a better way to ask them.

    What Are Ghosts, Really? w/ Splintered Spirits Podcast | Ghost City Podcast

    Let us know who you want to hear next! A spirit box blurts out “mom’s on the phone” and then the phone actually rings. That’s the kind of moment that forces you to slow down, stop arguing about labels, and ask better questions about what we’re really interacting with when we chase the paranormal. We’re joined by Gary Shapiro and John Santa from the Splintered Spirits Podcast to talk about ghost hunting without the performative fear. John explains his live-stream style of documenting spirits in real time, why he avoids the “everything is demons” culture, and how he tries to build simple safeguards against apps that may be listening or reinforcing what you just said. We also get into the biggest traps in spirit communication: audio pareidolia, overconfident assumptions, and the temptation to build a whole story from a single word. From there we zoom out into the bigger debate: what would count as proof for a skeptic, and why do belief systems in the paranormal get defended like religion or identity? We talk haunted people syndrome, transliminality, and a “ghost magnet” survey meant to explore why some people seem to attract recurring experiences. Then we go philosophical with competing theories of what ghosts might be: memory fragments, consciousness streams, and thought-forms shaped by collective attention.

    From Candle Magic to Demonology w/ Kalei Bogetti | Ghost City Podcast

    Let us know who you want to hear next! You can laugh about “voodoo candles” at a gas station right up until someone explains why they work and why they sometimes go wrong. We sit down with Kalei, known online as kaleiseesdeadpeople and The Crystal Patch, to talk about witchcraft, psychic mediumship, and what it actually means to “manipulate energy to create change” in a modern, practical way. We dig into intention as a real skill: why vagueness creates messy outcomes, how visualization and focus shape results, and what beginners should do first if they want to explore candle magic, petitions, cleansing, tarot, or spiritual protection. Kalei shares the unsexy advice that saves people the most pain: read books, learn foundations, and expect trial and error before you expect “big” manifestations. We also talk about her goal in this work now, helping people make decisions, feel grounded, and reconnect with loved ones through mediumship readings without turning spirituality into a performance. Then the conversation shifts into the paranormal world that pulled her in fast: 200 plus investigations, what she believes separates human spirits from something darker, and why she uses the word demon as “a non-human, negative, parasitic entity” rather than a purely religious label. Kalei walks us through the pattern she’s studying in demonology, how fear and negative energy can escalate experiences inside haunted locations, and why sometimes the smartest move is simply leaving the building.

    Can Consciousness Explain the Paranormal? w/ Serena DC | Ghost City Podcast

    Let us know who you want to hear next! Aliens, ghosts, consciousness, and the algorithm that decides what you see next all collide in this conversation with Serena DC, co-founder of Spark TV and creator of The Hybrids. We start with the question most people are afraid to ask out loud: what does it actually mean when someone claims they’re an alien hybrid or says they’ve had children with extraterrestrials? Serena walks us through why she made a documentary on the topic, how she presses for truth without instant cynicism, and why the sheer number of Goldilocks planets makes “impossible” a lot harder to defend than we think. From there, we zoom out into the deeper framework that quietly ties the paranormal together: consciousness. We talk about the brain as a receiver, intuition as a kind of signal, and a practical method Serena uses to get unstuck creatively and emotionally: ask a clear question, then literally listen for the answer. Tim connects that to his own work on a consciousness theory and to how AI tools like ChatGPT can train us to ask better questions, even while hinting that we may not need the “device” as much as we think. We also get into timeline shifting, mental health, and Mel Robbins’ Let Them concept as a surprisingly sharp tool for dropping anger and control. Finally, Serena breaks down Spark TV’s mission to modernise paranormal and consciousness content, fix the discovery problem that buries great creators, and prepare for a near future where disclosure and better evidence could flip the conversation from “is it real?” to “what now?” If you’re curious about alien hybrids, paranormal streaming, the consciousness field, and the next era of UFO and afterlife media, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.
