    Ghosted: Love that Won't Rest in Peace (A V-Day Special!)

    Hey there Spooky Friends, You know what they say—love is forever. But what happens when forever gets a little too clingy? This week, we’re diving into a listener-suggested episode filled with eerie tales of ghostly lovers, haunted hearts, and romance that just won’t take a hint (even from the afterlife). From spectral sweethearts leaving love notes from beyond the grave to phantom embraces that give new meaning to "chills down your spine," we’re exploring the unsettling reality that some Valentines aren’t just undying in spirit… they’re literally undead. So light some candles (but maybe not the cursed ones), clutch those roses a little tighter, and join Drs. Edwin and Evan for a love story that doesn’t just whisper sweet nothings—it moans them from the beyond.

    Dead Men Hiking: Hauntings and Horror from America's National Parks

    Join Drs. Edwin and Evan as they stumble—sometimes literally—down the haunted trails of some of America's most famous (and terrifying) national parks. Get ready to hear the spine-chilling tale of the Ape Wolf of Yosemite, along with some even creepier creatures that look suspiciously like pants running amok in the park. (Seriously, we can't explain it either.) You’ll alsofeel the sorrow of the headless bride haunting Old Faithful Inn, or take a trip to Mammoth Cave to listen to the lonely wails of Floyd Collins—who, by the way, starved to death after being trapped for over two weeks. (Moral of the story: caves are bad.) Plus, discover why Dr. Evan refuses to go outside unless it’s for an unhealthy amount of Cherry Coke Zero, and why she’s sworn off places where humans really shouldn’t be—like caves, the deep ocean, or… well, anywhere you can’t see the sky. Welcome, Spooky Friends, to another episode ofPhDParanormal—where we bring you the thrills, chills, and a few giggles along the way.

    Thank the Irish You Still Have Your Head: Celtic Mythology

    Hi Spooky Friends, Grab your cauldrons and pour yourself a stiff drink because Drs. Evan and Edwin are finally kicking off Season 5 of PhDParanormal—and we’re diving headfirst into the sultry, spooky world of Celtic mythology! Feeling a little peckish? Well, you’re in luck—or maybe not—because we’re serving up tales of the Fear Gorta, the famine ghost who’s got a hunger you definitely can’t satisfy with snacks. Hear hoofbeats in the distance? That’s not your ex coming back to haunt you—it’s the Dullahan, Ireland’s headless hottie, here to harbing doom with all the flair of a runway model and a whip made of… yeah, we’ll let you imagine that one. And hey, if you’re looking to spice up your love life and boost your bank account, stick around—we’ve got some steamy tips on charming those feisty leprechauns into sharing their gold. Just remember, foreplay might involve riddles and rainbows. So light a candle, hold onto your four-leaf clovers, and join us for a wild, weird, and slightly inappropriate romp through the darkest corners of Celtic folklore. It’s going to be a scream!

    Vampires-Fangs for the memories

    Welcome, Spooky Friends, night owls and daytime wanderers who forgot their sunscreen. Get ready to sink your teeth into the juiciest podcast on the block – PhdParnormal. It's the end of Season 4 and we just wanted to say, Fangs for the Memories! That’s right, we’re diving deep into the world of vampires, where bedtime is at sunrise, and necks are the new brunch. Join Drs. Edwin and Evan as they ask the hard hitting questions about these creatures of the night: Are vampires just misunderstood immortals with a minor sun allergy, or are they the ultimate bad roommates who never leave? And honestly, what’s the deal with the cape? Is it fashion, or just a really dramatic way to keep warm?” So grab your wooden stakes – or your garlic bread – and tune in for laughs, chills, and the occasional blood-curdling scream. It’s PhDParanormal, where the only thing sharper than our wit is, well, you know... their teeth. See you after dark!”
