Mountain State Spirit Seeker Society

The big 5 0 is here and we had a fun time.  We talk about the incredible web series ParaAbnormal.  Check them out and recommend them to a friend today.  Due to popular response, we’re going to move to Sunday nights starting February 21st at 6:00PM Eastern.  We’re going to take next week off and do one more Monday night show on the 15th.

Tonight we were joined by the Mountain State Spirit Seeker Society to tell us a little about their group and some of the work they’ve been doing.  We’ve been trying to get these guys on for quite a while so it was great to finally get everyone together.  Great half hour with them.  Be sure to check out their website.

Our Independent Music Break featured ‘X My Eyes’ from The Russian Brides.  Remember to support independent music!

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.

Short TV week due to Thanksgiving but we had some good talks about ‘Ghost Adventures’ and ‘Ghost Hunters Academy’ none the less.  We also briefly talk about a cool independent project we were turned on to named ‘Judith: The Night She Stayed Home‘ and the film ‘A Mannequin In Static’ both by Josh Hasty.  We also talk about the cool house in North Carolina that is a replica of the Myers house from the original  ’Halloween’.

This week, our Independent Music Break featured ‘Chaos Engine’ from the band Tenpenny Joke.  Remember to support independent music.

Jonathan Farrell joins us to talk about Paranormal Investigation and his site Perception9 Paranormal.  Awesome interview.  Laura solo’d it and it turned out great.  Jonathan was incredibly interesting.

Wow, what a quick hour with our guest Marie D. Jones.  She joined us to talk 2012 and we had a blast.   When you talk with Marie, she’s so interesting, it’s easy to lose track of time.

Be sure to check out our live show on Friday October 30th when we broadcast live to share our thoughts on the Ghost Adventures Live show as it unfolds.  We’ll start at 8:00PM Eastern and keep going until whenever.  This show will not be recorded so the only way to listen is to listen live.

Now, on Saturday, Halloween, at 9:00PM Eastern, we return to the mics to do a Halloween Special Spooktalkular.

Tonights Independent Music Breaks featured music from Oxmoses and the band Long Time during the first break.  During our second break, we featured the song ‘Disconnect Me’ from Heather the Hottie and the band Hydrovibe.  ;)

Wow, a full week of Spooktalkular.  What more could you ask for?

Another incredibly fun episode. Tonight we talk about the sad news of an indefinite hiatus from the incredible folks over at Ghostly Talk. ScottL, Doug and Bonnie have produced a first class show now for almost 8 years. Ghostly Talk is the rule by which the rest of independent paranormal podcast/radio should be judged. Guys, we’ll miss you and anxiously await your return! We also talk a little about some of the upcoming format changes here at Spooktalkular. As we’ve mentioned, we’re planning on going a little deeper into some serious paranormal topics. We start that off next week with a very special guest live, the incredibly interesting Marie D. Jones who will be talking all things 2012 with us.

As for this week, we dissect ‘Paranormal Activity‘. Be warned, if you haven’t seen it, we do a fairly lengthy discussion on it with an unlimited supply of spoilers. In a nutshell, we loved the concept but really feel more could have been done with it. After that, we talk some TV with ‘Ghost Hunters’, ‘Destination Truth’ and ‘Mystery Quest’.

Our Independent Music Break featured the song Oxygen from the incredibly talented Erica Shines. Be sure to pick up Erica’s album ‘I Will Wait For You’ over at CDBaby and always support independent music!

We round out the show with a wrap up of episodes 12 and 13 of ‘Harper’s Island’ and replay the Jim Beaver interview we did a few months back.

A couple of notes.  Be sure to send in your Spooky Stories for the contest.  Also, join us live on October 30th at 8:00PM Eastern when we’ll have the chat open along with the Mic for a special Spooktalkular.  We’ll be watching the Ghost Adventures Live crew when they investigate the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.   Be sure to get your Skype ready because we’ll be having listeners call in while we watch it.

Also, be sure to tune on on October 29th on the History Channel for a four hour marathon of the remaining ‘UFO Hunters’ episodes!  And, if you haven’t signed the petition to keep ‘UFO Hunters’ on the air, do it now.  Head over to www.ufomag.com and follow the link from there.

Another awesome love show! We had a blast chatting with the Spookchattie’s tonight. Another name has been proposed… The Spooky Groupies. I like em both.  We intro the Spooktalkular YouTube channel.  So far, only the Mothman Hayride video from us…  But look for more.  We also talk about our format change of moving towards more serious paranormal topics.

Where to start, it was a busy episode. We started out with a cool interview with Alex Price who played Gilbert on the hit BBC series ‘Being Human‘.

From there, we head into our television coverage with a surprising newcomer this week, ‘South Park’ and the episode ‘Dead Celebrities‘ where our paraplumbers Jay and Grant get parodied in awesome form. You really know you’ve arrived when you’re spoofed on ‘South Park’! From there, we hit into ‘Ghost Hunters’, ‘Destination Truth’ and ‘Mystery Quest’. We also discuss the new show ‘Ghost Lab’. So far, we agree that we really like the personalities of the brothers but it’s really nothing new as far as format. We’ll discuss it more in the coming weeks.

We also talk about the upcoming ‘Ghost Adventures’ Live event at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum where the ‘Ghost Adventures’ Crew will be spending the night on October 30 starting at 8:00PM ET. Looks awesome!

Our Independent Music Break featured the song ‘Now or Never’ from the band AG Silver!  Awesome sound and they seem like great people also.  Please support Independent Media of all forms!

We wrap up the show with a recap of ‘Harper’s Island’ episode 11, Splash.  The Cal/Chloe death scene is the best in the series!  The song used for that scene is ‘Letters From The Sky’ by Civil Twilight.  It’s availible for free for a limited time from iTunes.

Wow, number 36 down.  Really a fun episode.  We were joined in by the Spookchatties in the Chat room.  Swing by sometime and join us live.  We have a blast.  Laura shared some Haunted Headlines and we headed into TV.  Our good friend Emily couldn’t join us, Laura did the ‘Ghost Whisperer’ update.  From there, we headed into ‘Mystery Quest’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Destination Truth’.  Then, we covered the latest controversy surrounding the ‘Ghost Hunters’ by taking a quick listen to the latest video.  A water bottle has moved on it’s own.  Or has it?  Oddly enough, the window behind it moved also.  Check it out and let us know what you think.

Then, our Independent Music Break featured Tenpenny Joke from Melbourne, Australia.  The song was ‘She’ and it kicks.  Be sure to check them out at http://www.myspace.com/tenpennyjoke.  We headed back to ‘Harper’s Island’ to discuss episodes 8 and 9 and rounded out the show with a great interview with David Lewis who played Richard Allen on ‘Harper’s Island’.

Wow, what a show!

Wow, great, LONG show.  We had a blast in the live chat tonight with the Spookchatties!  We covered a lot of ground this week.  First, we recapped our visit to the 8th Annual Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, WV.  Then, we read our very first entry in the Spooky Story contest.  It was “Unca Aygin” by Patrick from Missouri.

We had a very special Extended Independent Music Break featuring a great interview with Matt Dauzat and Heather St. Marie from the band Hydrovibe.  Thier CD ‘Nothing Left To Lose‘ releases tomorrow on September 29th.  After the interview, we take a listen to the single ‘Fame’ from the CD.  Awesome band.  This is one of the few CDs that I just couldn’t stop listening to.

We hit TV fairly hard tonight.  We start off with a visit from Emily with ‘The Light: A Ghost Wisperer Podcast’ to recap the season premier of  ’Ghost Whisperer’.  From there, we hit ‘Ghost Hunters’, ‘Mystery Quest’, ‘Destination Truth’, ‘Medium’ and finish up with ‘Harper’s Island’ where we have an extra special treat.  We sat down recently and talked with Anna Mae Routledge who played Kelly, the tattooed Goth Girl.  We had a blast!  She was a sweetheart.  Anna Mae told us quite a few little tidbits about the death process on ‘Harper’s Island’ and just the experience in general.  Look for Anna Mae in the upcoming movie ‘2012‘, ‘Amazon Falls‘ and, of course, ‘Harper’s Island’.

Another fun live episode is done.  We had a great time chatting with the “Spookchatties” as always.  This week, we feature an interview with Emily from ‘The Light: A Ghost Wisperer Podcast’.  We take a listen to the trailers from the movie ‘Paranormal Activity‘ and ‘Transylmania: The Movie‘.

In the world of Television, we take a look at Episodes 5 and 6 of ‘Harper’s Island’ along with the premier episode of ‘Mystery Quest’ on the History Channel.

This week’s Independent Music break features the awesome independent band from Alabama, Eyes Around and the song ‘Bloodshot America’.  Check them out on Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/4403349

We just finished our first actual live show. We had a few people drop by the chat room while we were on and we all had a blast. Special thanks to Emily, Jake and TLForman for stopping by. Live aside, episode 30 was awesome! We check out the movie ‘Evil Dead‘ for Classic Cinema in preparation for ‘Evil Dead the Musical’. Laura also updates us on ‘Ghost Hunters’, ‘Ghost Hunters International’, ‘Monster Quest’, ‘Ghostly Encounters’ and lastly ‘Psychic Investigators’.

This week, we have another first on Spooktalkular. For our Independent Music Break, we have a great interview with ‘The Lost Souls‘ lead, Gray Gurkin who warmed us up for the award winning song ‘Matchbook’.

We end up going a little over two hours with the last hour being a return visit from Jake Wheat to tell us all about ‘Evil Dead, the Musical‘.

Whew, awesome show. Easily one of the funnest ones I’ve been a part of. If you missed this one, be sure to join us live next week. Monday night, 8:00PM eastern time.
