Cults are like Mogwai. We do not understand them, and we do not ask questions about them, for fear that they might multiply overnight. Therefore, we humbly present this episode of Is This a Ghost? with no further comment. This is the story of Cyrus Teed and the Ghosts of Koreshanity. Come for the ghosts, […]

No, you read that right. This is not the story of James Dean’s ghost. This is the story of James Dean’s car’s ghost. We will not be taking any questions. (But yeah, okay, we talk about James Dean’s ghost, too.) This is the story of the Ghost of James Dean’s Car. Come for the ghost, […]
Not all poltergeists suck your children in through a TV screen. Some of them just push your grandma down the stairs and set fires in your house!

Sure, you’ve heard of ghosts, but have you heard of RED ghosts? We didn’t think so. Not feeling so high and mighty now, are you? This is the story of the Red Ghost of Arizona. Come for the ghost, stay for being-on-being action, medically nude, another little Icarus, the Hyperloop of 1836, a disappointing number […]
Merry Christmas, friends! This year, we got you the dubious gift of an unedited episode recorded very late at night after way too much whiskey. Whoops! This is the story of the Mistletoe Bride. Come for the ghost, stay for creepy quotes sad, manor moles, movin’ some muscles and removin’ some bustles, let’s go to […]
Welcome to Clayton’s own personal hellscape, where we talk about nothing but fish for an entire episode. This is the story of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Come for the ghosts, stay for appeasing the elder gods, parka wrestling, the kung pao steamer, sea lion boom town, Ozark marinade, surprisingly Russian Norwegians, “Barney Fife lived,” no […]
A whole lot of ghost problems would be solved with a Magic Eraser. What are those things, anyway? Makes you wonder. This is the story of the ghosts of Grumblethorpe.
