“Longtime listener here and so far still a skeptic. If you are looking for a great show with both sides of the story, this is it! Both hosts are well rounded entertainers with the guests keeping it fresh. I usually listen while mowing the lawn and the mundane task takes on such an enjoyable experience that my lawn is quite well groomed. So if you are looking for something to improve those moments when you can’t read, watch something or play a game. Then I recommend you turn this on. The stand out episode for me so far was on SLEEP PARALYSIS, because as an avid lucid dreamer, sleep walker and waking dreamer. I experience sleep paralysis fairly regularly. When I was young, my waking dreams didn’t bother me too much because they did not turn into nightmares until I got older. The first when I was 10 and I woke in my brothers arms with my heart racing and confusion. I was recovering from the flu and had taken Nyquil, which still has a drastic effect on my dreams. I remember dreaming that night of going into my parents room and finding their drowned bodies in the water bed. My brother told me how I woke him by climbing down from our top bunk bed and went to our parents room only to begin screaming for my mother as I ran back. He chased me thru the house and finally he had to tackle me in the living room. I remember the tears on my face and how he asked me what I’d done, because my only words to him had been “I didn’t mean it, mommy and daddy come back!” Like most sleep walkers, my eyes had been open and my body navigated the house in reality but I was seeing the dream until I woke. Finally, I remembered that our parents had left early that morning. It took a bit for the feelings of horror to subside and I didn’t use Nyquil for a long time after. As the years passed I would sleep in late to enjoy lucid dreams and experimented with different white noises to see about waking in the dream world to control it. My first sleep paralyses happened at 13 years of age. We went to Silver Dollar City and I was napping in the back of the van. Normally my position in bed is on my stomach, but in the van I was on my back with arms resting on my chest. I can remember waking and hearing my parents chat in the front, but I couldn’t feel my body for quite a bit. It was the first time I felt panic as each word passed between mom and dad, while my body remained still. I had a strong desire for them to touch me so that I could feel my body again. If they just knew that I was awake but couldn’t move anything. They were pictured in my mind right there, but even my eyes might not have existed because I couldn’t feel them to make them open! Finally it passed and I was restored. I told no one as the episodes continued and I figured out that sleeping on my back was a recipe for lousy mornings. After finally telling my mother she told how sorry she was because its genetic from her. She had hoped to be the last in our family with it. Anyway, the research I have done revealed that we have a hormone that the body uses to shut down our muscles during dreams, so that we don’t act them out. There is footage of cats and dogs that are asleep with their sleep glands numbed and without the hormone to be still they walk, prowl and hunt in their dreams. People often have glands that can malfunction and leave them stuck while the body waits to secrete the waking stimulant and restore body function. When people say they see shadows during episodes, I truly have doubts because I’ve tried to open my eyes during episodes and can’t. The waking nightmare I experienced as a child shows how the dreams can fool us into seeing familiar settings with horrific new details. Soon my daughter will be 8 and like my mother, I hope this malady skips my child. My wife knows that if I am sleeping in and she finds me on my back, to touch me just in case I am trapped in my body silently avoiding panic as I wait to be brought back. Thanks Ghostly for great entertainment!”

“I have been listening since the beginning and love all the rhetoric between these two! Rebecca gives great evidence but sister Patty ain’t having it. I don’t think the holy ghost himself could make Patty believe in the afterlife. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy the story. Side note: BRING BACK MONDO!”

“I’ve been listening to Ghostly Podcast since day one and haven’t missed a single episode. Like a fine wine, it only gets better as it ages. Like Rebecca, I am #TeamBeliever. However, I appreciate how she is open to Pat’s skeptic view and isn’t quick to believe every single thing. Although I feel...”Read full review »
