    Parents, for kids under 12, use discretion. The Ghost Catchers is clean, but it contains some emotionally mature moments that might be too intense for small listeners.

Accesette ,

Great story!

I was so pleased to find this when I had finished McGillicuddy & Murder’s Pawn Shop. Another great story by a creative storyteller!

So glad that she will be releasing episodes every 2 weeks rather than monthly!

The Ghost Catchers is a truly great listen!

Meg McCauley creates amazing stories filled with such intriguing characters. This is another great example. McGillicuddy and Murder’s Pawnshop is one of my all time favorite podcasts. The Ghost Catchers has quickly become another favorite. Her stories always have such a great flow to them. There is always that urge to listen to “just one more” as you get to the end of the episode you’re listening to. I find myself quickly forming a strong mental image of the characters as the stories build. I would give this my highest recommendation.

Amazing Work, As Always!

Meg does it again in this amazing podcast. She’s funny, and witty, and her characters are second to none. In a few lines she already tells you everything you need to know about a character- a phenomenal example of show, don’t tell. I absolutely adore Barnaby and Cornelious, and I can’t wait so see what exciting adventures they get up to with Marjorie hehe 🤭
