    Every Stitch Has a Ghost Story with Tammie Chavez | Hollyweird Paranormal

    Tammie Chavez of Hollyweird Paranormal joins me for a conversation about storytelling, creativity, ethics, and the paranormal. Together we explore how growing up around ghost stories, working in haunted theaters, and investigating the unexplained shaped her path. We discuss her unique Haunted Thread project, which brings historical figures and ghost stories to life through costume design, as well as the emotional impact of paranormal experiences, trust, intuition, and the connections people form through this community. This episode is less about proving ghosts exist and more about understanding why stories, mystery, wonder, and meaning continue to matter.

    What happens when a haunted location burns to the ground—but the connection to it remains? In this episode, Brett sits down with paranormal investigator, preservationist, and spirit box craftsman Jeff Fent. Known throughout the paranormal community for creating custom spirit boxes from meaningful and historic objects, Jeff shares the deeply personal story that started it all: the loss of a beloved haunted location, his desire to reconnect with the spirits he felt connected to there, and the first box he built from its remains. Together, Brett and Jeff explore: • Haunted locations and preservation• Spirit communication and custom ghost boxes• The emotional connection people form with meaningful objects• Grief, remembrance, and healing• Paranormal experiences that defy explanation• Whether energy can remain attached to people, places, and things This conversation goes far beyond ghost hunting and into something much deeper—the human need for connection, meaning, memory, and mystery. Plus, stay until the end for a special bonus clip featuring one of Jeff's most meaningful spirit box creations and the story behind it. Because whether your ghosts are internal or external… they deserve to be heard and understood. Until next time—stay curious… and stay haunted.
