Had an absolute amazing time doing the show tonight.  We didn’t have any guests but we still had plenty of gab going on.  We start off by discussing our plans for when we buy the Amityville Horror House which recently went on sale.  We just need 1.5 million of our incredible listeners to send us a buck each and we can make it a reality.  ;)  We also briefly talk about a really cool old audio recording about Spiricom that we found in the 2005 archives of Ghostly Talk.  We also checked out the remake of the Wolfman this weekend and we both loved it.

Believe it or not, Ghost Hunters Academy is back.  Well, we being the fans we are take a run through of the new cadets.  Frank is thinking about pitching a new similar series but instead of Steve or Tango, Gordon Ramsay is the lead.  It would be great.  While we’re in the angry mood, we also tear into Happy Town.  How does a show with this much potential end up in such a shape?

A couple of special thanks to some great friends of the show.  Jake Wheat has updated our website and, Jake, I promise I’ll get the new version online soon.  ;)  And, to Mark Hayden.  Thanks, as always for the incredible banners you do for us.

We were joined tonight by our great friend Jake Wheat.  Jake tells us all about the CD “Stomp Out Cancer Volume 2: Hope” which all proceeds benefit Stomp Out Cancer and Ewing’s Sarcoma Research.  You will be hearing songs from the CD featured on our Independent Music Breaks over the next few months.  While Jake was here, we also talked about his other project, ‘The Waverly Hills Sanatorium Audio Experience” and “Stomp Out Cancer: Volume 1“.  It was an incredible hour and we hated for it to be over.  Actually, when we stopped recording, we kept talking for quite a while afterwards.

Before Jake joined us, we talked about the new ABC series ‘Happy Town‘ which we plan on covering when it starts up on April 30th.  You can watch the first 14 minutes on ABC’s site.  It looks GREAT!!!  We can’t wait.  We’re planning to make it our guilty pleasure this year.

As we mentioned, tonight’s Independent Music Breaks were from the CD “Stomp Out Cancer Volume 2: Hope” which you can find on iTunes.  We played the songs ‘Stronger’ by Public Symphony and ‘Emory’ by Heros and Madmen.  Remember, all proceeds from all the CDs benefit Ewing’s Sarcoma research.

Thanks for listening!

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.

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.

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!

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.
