Jackie Hernandez's San Pedro bungalow became the focal point of an escalating haunting — disembodied footsteps, strange reddish ooze (later claimed to test as human plasma), flashes of light caught on film, and episodes of violent interaction that drove a local paranormal team into full investigation mode. Andy narrates Jackie’s growing terror as neighbors and a small crew — including Dr. Barry Taft, Jeff Wheatcraft, and others — document everything from camera batteries dying in the attic to a camera being ripped from a hand and a cord apparently choking a team member. Greg serves as the resident skeptic, poking holes and offering everyday explanations (bugs, lighting artifacts, bad filmmaking), while the two trade witty banter as they parse evidence like blurry streaks of light, mysterious smells, and a stove flame that briefly ignites. They walk listeners through specific incidents — Ouija board revelations that name a drowned man, scissors placed under pillows, and a tiny letter catching fire on a burner — and use those examples to question whether the events are supernatural or staged. The hosts also dig into the 1997 documentary An Unknown (credited in part to Jackie Earle Haley early in his career) and critique both the footage and the investigators’ motives, balancing eerie moments with healthy cynicism. Overall, they leave listeners with a clear takeaway: the San Pedro haunting is compelling and spooky on the surface, but riddled with inconsistencies and red flags that make it hard to tell genuine paranormal activity from human error or exploitation.

Takeaways:

• Andy tells Jackie Hernandez's San Pedro story as a slow escalation from a comforting presence to violent phenomena, including footsteps, objects vanishing, and an old man's apparition in her son's room.
• Greg stays the hard-line skeptic and repeatedly ridicules the documentary's claims, pointing out weak acting, staged photos, and how easy it is to invent scary details without verification.
• They describe the investigating team—Dr. Barry and two cameramen—who encountered camera failures, odd lights in photos, and a claimed lab test identifying the ooze as male blood plasma.
• She and her neighbors experienced sensory details like a rotting-flesh smell and streaks of light; the hosts debate natural explanations such as insects, lighting artifacts, or memory-driven fear responses.
• The Ouija session supposedly spells out a drowned killer and targets Jeff, but he and Greg highlight how suggestion, coincidence, and confirmation bias can manufacture haunting narratives.
• The documentary An Unknown Encounter amplifies events with dramatized footage, and the hosts warn listeners to check provenance, collection methods, and named laboratories before accepting sensational claims.
• Several allegedly dangerous moments—cords in the attic, scissors on a bed, and a small stove fire—are presented, yet Greg argues lack of contemporaneous, independently recorded evidence weakens those claims.
• Practical takeaway for listeners: they should approach paranormal stories with curiosity and healthy skepticism, asking for raw video, lab names, and alternative mundane causes like bugs, wiring faults, or hoaxes.

No Such Thing as Ghosts is now weekly! In this episode, Andy and Greg cover the Demon Leaper, a reported SpaceX UAP, and 19th-century ghost hoaxers. Are these eerie tales evidence of the paranormal, clever deception, or something in between? Join our true believer vs. skeptic debate on UFO sightings, ghost stories, and the mysteries that keep us guessing.

Andy takes a mischievous, detail-packed walk through three classic spooky-party dares — each one more elaborate (and riskier) than the last. He methodically explains the Runner: a midnight blood-drawn footrace down a dark hallway where you wager something precious, whisper the exact stakes (“double or nothing”), and hope a summoned opponent shows up. He lays out the gear (sharp object, lines of blood, a finish area), the rules about not looking, and the weird payoff — if you win, you might find your wager doubled and a cryptic slip of paper. Greg, the hardline skeptic, keeps cutting in with practical questions (How much blood? Who cleans it up?) and deadpan warnings about ending up as a true crime headline rather than a ghost story. They then move to the Three Kings ritual, the slow-burn mirror game that reads like an indie horror film treatment: three chairs arranged like throne/queen/fool, two mirrors, a fan, a candle, a bucket, a fully charged phone, and a sentimental object that acts as your anchor. Andy outlines the precise timing (set up at 11 p.m., wake at 3:30 a.m., be back by 3:33 a.m.), the do-not-look rules, and the consequences if the person outside fails to pull you back at 4:34 a.m. Finally, the 11 Mile Road is a trance-like driving rite where the landscape morphs mile by mile — whispers, shadow figures, flickering headlights, a stretch of ‘hell’ — and where your single-minded focus on a wish supposedly yields a tangible payoff at journey’s end. The hosts balance eerie specifics with practical mockery, making the whole thing feel like a how-to manual for bad decisions — and a cautionary tail-wag to anyone tempted to try these at home.

Takeaways:

• Andy describes the creepy ritual called "the Runner," where he wagers objects and draws start and finish lines in blood down a dark hallway.
• Greg plays the skeptic, and he mocks the risks, insisting listeners shouldn't bleed in hallways or gamble away college funds.
• They unpack "Three Kings" as a convoluted midnight mirror ritual with strict timing, a fan, candles, and a charged phone — Andy warns consciousness could be pulled into mirrors, for example.
• The hosts emphasize common-sense caution: they advise not to perform dangerous stunts alone, avoid risky rituals like the Runner, and never follow internet-circulated ritual instructions blindly.
• Andy frames the 11 Mile Road as a focus test: shadow figures, whispers, and tempting scenic stops will try to distract the driver from completing the ritual and claiming a wish.
• They repeatedly note many of these games likely originated or spread online, functioning more like modern folklore or social experiments than proven supernatural methods.
• Ultimately, Andy explores possibilities while Greg warns about real-world consequences: lost items, blood at a scene, or legal trouble could follow if someone takes these rituals literally.
• Listeners are reminded to use skepticism, stay safe, and perhaps stick to spooky stories instead of trying literal, complicated rituals at home.

A paranormal cryptid encounters like no other: Wisconsin's Beast of Bray Road has haunted witnesses for decades with reports of a spine-tingling, werewolf-like creature. True believer, Andy explores the unexplained mysteries and genuine sightings, while skeptic Greg dissects the folklore and logical explanations. Who's right? Tune in to this paranormal debate.

Takeaways:

• They open with the Beast of Bray Road legend and he recounts Mike Shackleman’s midnight encounter that established the eerie local mythology.
• She points out most modern sightings describe scavenging behavior — roadkill and possums — not predatory attacks on people, which changes how one should interpret danger.
• They highlight Linda Godfrey’s pivotal role as the reporter-turned-author who popularized the beast, but note she sometimes enthusiastically folded flimsy reports into the bigger myth.
• He and she critically examine the supposed evidence: blurry trail-cam screenshots, photos of photocopies, and footprint casts with no ruler or scale — examples given show why those artifacts need better documentation.
• They list plausible, mundane explanations like a mangy bear, a large wolf or dog, misidentification, or shared rumor amplification, and suggest real experiments (clear video, repeated camera setups) to test claims.
• She skewers the tendency to stitch unrelated oddities together — lights in the sky, mysterious mist, and footprints — then label it interdimensional, stressing that mixing folklore and isolated anomalies makes poor science.
• They finish with practical advice: remain skeptical, document thoroughly (use continuous video, place a ruler next to prints), and consider local wildlife patterns before leaping to werewolf conclusions.
