Not very often we repeat this quickly, but we so enjoyed doing that Third person episode, we just couldn't wait to do another one!  As T.S. Eliot said in his poem The Waste Land: Who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are only you and I together But when I look ahead up the white road There is always another one walking beside you Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded I do not know whether a man or a woman — But who is that on the other side of you?

Here's where it all began, I read this caption on the attached picture and thought, wait what? I had heard of this, even experienced it but I had no idea what a wide spread phenomenon it had become and so I knew we needed to talk about it. Are they angels? Spirits? Ghosts?  Our own mind manifesting soothing comforts?  We really hope you enjoy it and would love feedback as we veer a little off format for this episode of Ghosts 'N Bears.

It's that time of year again my little Christmas angels!   We jump back in to the time when ghost stories were a "Christmas Only" kind of thing.  The nights were dark, the houses cold and full of shadows and at a rare time of year when the family was together and not working for just one day of the year, there was nothing better than to get the magazines and find the newest and scariest ghost stories in the style of Charles Dickens, at least that's what you did in the 1860's.  Join us as we...

Fear.  We've all felt it.  Sometimes it's paranormal, sometimes it's not but we all know the emotion.  On this very special Halloween episode of Ghosts 'N Bears we talk about our top three most terrifying experiences and what occurred  that made us so terrified.  THE episode we had planned on doing was a whole OTHER episode but that was taken from us beyond our control and  I feel it was very offSIDE.  If you listen to the episode you'll totally get the joke in here.  So sit back, relax...
