Kyle Lovern

We started out talking a little about an interesting comment we received from one of our listeners Graham, about episode 46.  Between time 23:05 amd 23:09, Graham noticed a womans voice that doesn’t sound like Laura’s.  I’ll try to isolate it and we’ll play it during the next show.  We also talk about possibly moving the show to Sunday night.  Be sure to let us know what you think about what time we should do the show.

Tonight we were joined by Kyle Lovern, author of  the books, “Appalachian Case Study: UFO Sightings, Alien Encounters and Unexplained Phenomena, volumes 1 and volume 2“  to talk a little local UFO.  Once again, we ran short on time but Kyle was good enough to agree to come back and join us again.

Our Independent Music Break featured the song ‘X My Eyes’ from the Oregon group the Russian Brides.  Always support Independent Media!

I can finally say, we’re back.  The show tonight was more classic Spooktalkular.  Our Spooky Groupies are back.  We had a blast!!!  Busy. busy show.  We talk about the Parawards so if you haven’t voted yet, head to www.spooktalkular.com/parawards and vote today.  Voting has been very brisk.  Laura shares some Haunted Headlines with us, during which we discuss the remake of ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street‘.  It looks promising.  Here’s the original trailer from 1984.  And now for your viewing pleasure, the 2010 trailer.  Thanks to our good friend Patrick for sharing via Twitter that on this day in 1644, the first US UFO sighting happened in Boston, Mass.  If you’re not following Patrick on Twitter, you should be.  MovieDan will be premiering his new podcast this week over at http://www.srnlive.com/ so head over and check it out!  Spooktalkular loves MovieDan!

Thanks to our good friend Richard turning us onto Methodic 1.5, we check it out and we LOVED it!  Chris .R. Notarile does it again.  The Dollman is alive and better than ever.  Check out Methodic 1.5 free on Youtube.

Frank had the chance to meet Kyle Lovern, author of Appalachian Case Study: UFO Sightings, Alien Encounters and Unexplained Phenomena this past weekend along with his publisher Keith Davis from Woodland Press at a local book signing.  Book is great and we’re working to get Kyle on the show sometime.

Our Independent Music Break featured the song ‘Hide’ by the group Groundmower.

Laura tells us about some of the paranormal shows from this past week.  Paranormal State was particularly interesting.  Ryan was a little rough with his team.  Looks like Steve from GH: Academy may have come competition for Paranormal Jerk next year.

Speaking of GH: Academy, back on December 12th, we posted a story about Jane Riley from GH: Academy possibly being censored on some stuff she posted on Hulu.  That story grabbed a little attention this week so we discuss it a little.  We also talk about Kris Williams acting career before Ghost Hunters.  Yea, you didn’t misread it.  She acted before she got her current acting gig.  I hope she was better acting in her previous roles than she is acting like a paranormal investigator.

We round out the show with a rant on the current state of paranormal entertainment.  The concept of what would make a good paranormal show and the Ghost Hunters Community vs the Ghost Hunting Community.  And yes, they are very different.  As always, thanks for listening!

This was a little disorganized episode due to our traveling during the holidays.  Laura talks about a couple of ‘Paranormal State’ episodes along with a ‘Ghost Adventures’ episode.  After a break with the song ‘Only For You’ from AMORIC, we jumped right in to hammering out the 2009 Spooktalkular Parawards nominees.  We’ll make a final pass on the nominees next week and then open it up to voting.  There are a couple of “Not Safe For Work” moments in this one but nothing like last week.

Hope you enjoy
