    Episode 170: Jason from @spookyclt RETURNS

    Dust off your fedoras and lock the doors—The Fedora Files is heading back to Charlotte, North Carolina! This week, we welcome back the man who knows where all the bodies are buried (literally), Jason from @spookyclt. Jason isn't just a ghost hunter; he's a preservationist of the paranormal. In this episode, we're digging into the 'Year of the 13th' and the massive lineup Jason has planned for 2026. From the phantom aisles of VisArt Video to the heavy iron gates of Elmwood Cemetery, Jason shares the stories the bankers don't want you to hear. We talk about the spirits wandering the horror section, the restoration of the legendary Charlie Houck lion-tamer grave, and how you can join the next Haunted Hang Out. It's a masterclass in local lore, community preservation, and the spine-chilling history of the South. Tune in as we explore why Charlotte's past refuses to stay quiet. #TheFedoraFiles #SpookyCLT #CharlotteHauntings #GhostStories #UrbanLegends #Preservation #VisArtVideo #ElmwoodCemetery #GregoryFedora #ParanormalPodcast #CLThistory

    Discoball Man Episode 2: Panic at the Disco Dojo

    The city is losing its groove! A mysterious gloom has settled over the streets, smelling like a three-day-old diaper and leaving even the most exuberant citizens—including the lovely Jodi—feeling downright blue. While Pop is busy obsessing over his new favorite podcast, Captain Apathy, Disco Ball Man discovers the source of the sadness: two gloom-peddling flyers-snatchers who combine to form the giant, two-headed monster, Emogoth! Can DBM level up his choreography in time to defeat a villain fueled by existential pointlessness? With the help of Morris and some "boogeylicious" new moves, our hero must prove that the power of disco is the ultimate cure for toxic melancholy.    #DiscoBallMan #TheFedoraFiles #AudioDrama #MusicalComedy #SuperHeroParody #DiscoMusic #FunkVibes #Emogoth #CaptainApathy #GothCulture #MonsterBattle #TheAbyss #AITheater #AudioSeries #SunoMusic #GregoryFedora #IndieCreator #ComedySeries #NewEpisode #VoiceActing #Storytelling #FunnyPodcast

    Discoball Man Episode 1: The Groove Begins.

    "I got the power of the boogie! My moves are slick and kinda kooky!" Welcome to the world-premiere episode of Disco Ball Man: The Musical! Meet Dennis B. Maxwell. He was a self-proclaimed "nobody" until a fateful night at the local 18+ club changed everything. When a falling disco ball threatened the girl of his dreams, Dennis leaped into action—and ended up with a literal piece of the party lodged in his brain. Is it a life-threatening medical condition causing hallucinations and delusions of grandeur? Or has Dennis been chosen by the "Sultans of Swag" to become the ultimate glitter-clad guardian of justice? According to his doctor, it's the former. According to the funky synth-disco beat playing in Dennis's head... it's showtime. In this episode: The Origin: Witness the "accident" that gave birth to a legend. The Training: Meet Morris, the disco-dojo sensei with a past as a roadie for KC and the Sunshine Band. The First Patrol: Experience the grit of the urban jungle (and the smell of a very confused homeless man). The Villain: A first glimpse at The Abyss, a mastermind whose greatest challenge isn't world domination—it's his tech-illiterate henchmen. Featuring original showstoppers like "Shard of Destiny" and "Wax On, Wax Off, Hustle!", this episode proves that you don't need a cape when you have a triple-step and a dream.  #DiscoBallMan #MusicalPodcast #AudioFiction #SuperheroParody #DiscoVibes #OriginalCastRecording #PodcastRecommendations #IndiePodcast #TheAbyss #MusicalTheatreLife

Are these dogs a sign of radiation-induced mutation? We reveal the likely—and incredibly disgusting—reason their fur is blue, according to the Dogs of Chernobyl group. It's a hilarious twist on a serious subject!  Segment 2: What's Entertaining Me - Chad Powers (0:04:09) Gregory reviews the new Hulu Original comedy Chad Powers, starring Glen Powell. Discover the hilarious true story behind the show—the viral stunt pulled by NFL legend Eli Manning at Penn State in 2022—and why this show is a perfect blend of goofy humor and sports drama, produced by Omaha Productions (Peyton Manning, Eli Manning). Segment 3: Monster of the Week - The Kludde (0:08:34) Learn about the fascinating and terrifying shapeshifting creature from Belgian folklore: the Kludde! This evil spirit can transform into a black dog with chains, a phantom horse, or even a tree. We discuss its abilities, its signature cry ("Kludde!"), and the only ways travelers can defend themselves from its malicious pranks.    #TheFedoraFiles #GregoryFedora #Podcast #CrazyNews #FunFacts #BlueDogs #ChernobylDogs #Chernobyl #ChemicalContamination #AnimalNews #StrayDogs #ChadPowers #GlenPowell #EliManning #PeytonManning #Hulu #ComedySeries #FootballShow #CollegeFootball #Kludde #BelgianFolklore #Folklore #Mythology #MonsterOfTheWeek #Shapeshifter #LegendaryCreature

    Episode 167: Ohio's Headless Horseman: The GHOST LIGHT That Haunts Buckeye Road

    It is time for the Fedora Files... Is it the ghost of a decapitated biker, forever searching for his lost head? Or a railway worker from a bygone era, his phantom lantern still glowing in the dark? On a lonely, pitch-black road in rural Ohio, a single, terrifying light appears out of nowhere, chasing cars and terrifying witnesses before vanishing into thin air. For decades, college students and locals have dared to visit Buckeye Road, hoping for—and fearing—a glimpse of the legendary Oxford Light. Some say it's just car headlights or swamp gas, but eyewitnesses swear what they saw was NOT of this world. Join Gregory Fedor as we drive deep into the heart of this terrifying American folklore. We'll uncover the tragic stories behind the haunting, talk about the eyewitness accounts, and ask the ultimate question: What is the deadly secret behind the Oxford Light? Lock your doors and turn up the volume... this is one ghost story that might just follow you home. #TheFedoraFiles #OxfordLight #OhioFolklore #Paranormal #Podcast #NewEpisode #GhostStories #Haunted #Supernatural #Folklore #Spooky #UrbanLegend #GhostLight #SpookLight #HauntedOhio #GregoryFedor #AmericanFolklore #MotorcycleGhost #Ohio #OxfordOhio #HuestonWoods #MiamiUniversity #ButlerCountyOhio #MidwestMysteries #OhioMysteries #HauntedMidwest #HauntedPlaces #GhostHunting #ParanormalPodcast #UnsolvedMysteries #PodcastersOfInstagram #ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight
