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!

Tonight’s show was mainly to hammer out the details of 2009 Spooktalkular Parawards.  I think we ended up with a good group of nominees.  Be sure to vote at  http://www.spooktalkular.com/parawards for your favorites.  Voting will run through February of 2010.  Winners will be announced in March.  Here’s the final list of nominees.

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

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.

Busy night tonight. We start off talking about the cool upcoming Hydrovibe tour.  There was an interesting article over on SciFake about Certifying Paranormal Investagtors??? Check it out at scifake.com.  Laura talks a little ‘New Moon’ since she went to the midnight showing on opening night.  We hit our usual assortment of Television with ‘Ghost Hunters: Academy’ and ‘Ghost Hunters’ which brings us to the latest controversy to come to light. Donna Lacroix does a “tell all” interview with the Ghost Divas Podcast. It calls into question, issues of faking the evidence, the mistreatment of Brian and even poor treatment of women in general. You owe it to yourself to check this one out. You can get the full interview here or for some of the high points, check out Moviedan’s highlights here.

We also touch on Ghost Lab and Ghost Adventures. We then get into a fairly involved discussion on the latest Jack the Ripper special where he comes to America.

We round the show out with an awesome interview that Laura did with Sergio from the band Mandinga. They did some of the music from the movie Transylmania which opens on December 4th.  During the interview, we hear two songs. The song ‘Bite Me‘ is from the movie. The other song is Goochie.

Tonight, we returned to a little more typical Spooktalkular, if there is such a thing. First of all, out ghost has a name. It’s Pottsie!

We start out by taking our normal looks at ‘Ghost Adventures’ and ‘Ghost Hunters’. Laura does an in-depth discussion of the ‘Mystery Quest’ that dealt with Jack the Ripper. We also talk about the brand new series. ‘Ghost Hunters: Academy’

During our break, we check out some music from the awesome band AMORIC. The name if the song is ‘Only For You’.

The second half of the show, we check out an incredibly interesting interview that we did with Eric Espejo and Aaron Goodmiller from 19th and Wilson Productions.  They talk to us about their new picture named ‘Ghosts Don’t Exist’.  We love the trailer and everything we have learned about the movie so far.  We here at Spooktalkular have another reason to like the movie.  Our good friend Troy from over at The Millennium Group Sessions Podcast.

After a rocky start, we ended up having a great time.  The entire episode was devoted to our discussion of the new release ‘The Forth Kind‘ which we went and watched Sunday night.  We both really enjoyed the movie.

Our incredible Independent Music Break featured ‘Sirens’ by the band Tenpenny Joke.

Look for a more normal (if there is such a thing) Spooktalkular next week.  ;)  Thanks for listening!

This is a must hear episode if there ever was one. If you’ve listened to Spooktalkular before, you know that there are two things we love. Mothman and ‘Ghostly Talk‘. This week we have both. Jeff Wamsley joined us first for an incredibly interesting discussion into the Mothman and the Mothman Festival. Then, we were joined by Doug and ScottL from over at ‘Ghostly Talk’ for an amazing hour on ‘Ghostly Talk’, the present state and future of the paranormal entertainment genre and also we discuss ‘Paranormal Activity’. Let’s just say they felt the same way we did about the movie.

Tonight we enjoyed two Independent Music Breaks with music from Nyki Lindsay King. The first one was ‘Let Up’ followed by ‘Circles’ during the second. Be sure to check out Nyki Lindsay King’s video for ‘Circles‘. It is simply incredible. Be sure to support Independent Music!
