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’.

Finally, we’re out of the teens. Sure it’s delayed by a couple of days but it should be worth the wait. In addition to the usual television and paranormal news, we check out the Sam Raimi film “Drag Me to Hell” that opened last weekend. Finally, we round out the show with an awesome interview from “Methodic” writer and director Chris R. Notarile. If you’d like to grab one of the screener copies of “Methodic” that Chris mentions, and we highly recommend it, check out http://methodic.blinky-productions.com. Be sure to get your nominees and categories in for the paranormal awards show we’re planning in July.

Show Summaries

MonsterQuest

Medium

“The Talented Ms. Boddicker” – Allison dreams about and then meets a quirky bank teller, Mrs. Boddicker who apparently predicted her bank’s recent robbery. Meanwhile, Joe’s new job in San Diego puts a strain on the family and Allison must learn to cope in his absence.

Harper’s Island

Forced to obey his dark half, the boy ultimately murders his parents on his birthday and is sentenced to a life under a microscope at the state mental hospital. But evil cannot be contained so easily. Instead, “The Dollman” simply bides his time, dwelling within the boy- waiting for the day when he will become powerful enough to completely take over his human host. And when that day comes, god help us all.

Drag Me to Hell

Sorry for the delay but we think it’s worth it. The holiday and just an inability to knock this thing out Tuesday really delayed us a bit. Even with the wait, this episode came out awesome!

First off, we talk about some of the paranormal news for the week. Here’s the summaries and the links.

NBC has canceled the psychic drama Medium. Fear not though, CBS in what could be an awesome stratgic move has picked it up and added it to the Friday night lineup. It will air between “Ghost Whisperer” and “Numb3rs” for a Psychic Friday of sorts. The only thing that could have made it better is including Harper’s Island. http://www.thedailynewsonline.com/articles/2009/05/24/entertainment/doc4a19a0b18c984111500068.txt

Our favorite two plumbers are heading back to Buffalo, New York for a fan ghost hunt of the Central Terminal. One fan reported paying 250.00 in order to ghost hunt with the professionals. And to think, she could have ghost hunted with Laura and Frank for a lot less. http://www.wkbw.com/news/local/45883312.html

Even with a rerun, CBS nails Friday night. “Ghost Whisperer” grabbed nearly 6 million viewers. http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/05/23/friday-ratings-cbs-wins-how-might-dollhouse-have-done/19355 However, CBS didn’t fair as well Saturday night. ABC picked up the win with a game. http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/05/24/saturday-ratings-lakers-vs-nuggets-wins-easily/19363

“Ghost Whisperer” season one cast member Aisha Tyler is about to take on a new talk show role. She’ll be hosting the ABC show “The Aisha Tyler Show” where viewers can interact with her by Twitter and Facebook. Shoot, the podcast community has been doing that from the beginning. http://www.buddytv.com/articles/ghost-whisperer/former-ghost-whisper-star-aish-28899.aspx

Fort Mifflin appears to be back on sound financial footing. The fort was the scene of a horrible bombardment in 1777 during the Revolutionary War but the true battle lately had been paying the bills. Several in the paranormal community had taken up the cause and as of this article, they are in good shape. The director credits the paranormal investigations and Boy Scout overnights with the successful refilling of the coffers. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/entertainment/20090522_Fort_Mifflin_s_victory_over_money_troubles.html

Then we head into a great discussion from Laura on “Medium” and from there, a hillarious discussion of the season finale of “Paranormal State”. We finally get the missing “MonsterQuest” episode about the “Mysterious Ape Island”. Next, we head into “UFO Hunters” and wrap the show up with a really in-depth discussion of the latest “Harper’s Island”. It’s worth mentioning that we found a cool website for Harper’s Island. Be sure to check out www.harpersisland.tv for details.

Be sure to let us know your categories and nominees for the Spooktalkular listener choice awards.

Well, after a small delay, we have episode 16b wrapped.  16a just didn’t come out like we wanted so we just blew it away and we both agree that 16b is much much better.

This week, we discuss the movie “A Haunting in Connecticut”.  We finally got out to check it out.  As for TV, we hit on “Paranormal State”, “UFO Hunters”, “Ghost Hunters”, “Monster Quest”, “Ghost Whisperer”, “Medium” and finally, we end up with a fairly in depth discussion of the first three episodes of “Harper’s Island”.

We hope you enjoy and below are some of the links from our news section.

Special Thanks to the crew over at Ghostly Talk and, Dave and Tommy from KAPS!

Jennifer Love Hewlett slips a nipple on Ghost Whisperer.  The Backseat Cuddler recently posted a couple of pics showing the slippage but don’t expect much.  You really need a lot of imagination to see it.  http://backseatcuddler.com/2009/04/25/jennifer-love-hewitt-slips-a-nipple-on-%E2%80%9Cghost-whisperer%E2%80%9D/

Showing that they are still on top, our two favorite plumbers since Mario and Luigi nail a season high 2.9 million viewers for their Titanic episode that was filmed at the Georgia Aquarium.  In their fifth season so far, Ghost Hunters have been on top five out of six weeks for Wednesday night.  The show is number one for the 18 to 49 and 25-54 adults in the 8-11 Primetime spot for Wednesday.  This puts Sci-Fi as the #1 cable network on Wednesday nights.  http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/04/17/ghost-hunters-scares-up-season-high-29-million/16924

Yvette Fielding is campaigning to have the speed limit enforced on the road by her home in Cheshire.  The posted speed limit is 60mph but motorists are known to drive as fast as 90 on the stretch.  Fielding says she is sometime afraid to turn out of her home onto the road for fear of being hit.  According to her, she was hit once which left her with some whiplash injuries.  http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/news/Road-scares-Haunted-presenter/article-899173-detail/article.html

In a Twofer for Most Haunted, I ran across an article from the Manchester Confidential about an evening with Derek Acorah.  He’s now touring John Edwards style allowing all the departed a voice to speak with the living…  For a fee of course.  The article wasn’t too kind.  http://www.manchesterconfidential.co.uk/index.asp?sessionx=IpqiNwY6JDXoIpqiNwF6IHqi
