Gavin and Paula Kelly SF12 E42

This week Wes hosts Gavin and Paula Kelly, paranormal investigators featured on such shows as “Phantasmic Ghost Hunters” and “Paranormal Journey into the Unknown”. Gavin and Paula will be speaking at Scarefest XII about their new show “Truth or Legends in Your Hometown”, where 28 teams in 20 states will investigate local places to see if they are truly haunted or just part of the elaborate fictional tapestry of local flavor.

Gavin and Paula discuss the new Truth or Legends show, the importance of sifting through the the layers of local legend to determine if actual paranormal activity exists, and how they came to be paranormal investigators. We learn that legends can often distort the search for the supernatural and skew perceptions of haunted places, prime examples being Waverly Hills and Bobby Mackey ‘s. For more information of the new show check out Gavin and Paula’s Facebook page at facebook.com/TruthorLegendsInyourHometown/

We also get a few new celebrity announcements for Scarefest. The incredible Captain Spaulding, Sid Haig, and Hafthor Bjornsson of Game of Thrones fame will be joining us. And Wes teaches us that radon gas, created by decomposing bodies, will reflect light and can make for some interesting effects when investigating cemeteries. Who knew, right?

Bishop James Long SF12 E37

A current trend in the paranormal seems to be an increase in demonic activity. Where do you turn when you need to learn more about the “D” word? You turn to clergyman and validly trained exorcist Bishop James Long, who has been involved in 28 documented cases of possession.

Tonight, Wes hosts Bishop Long in a long awaited talk on demonology and so much more. He and Wes discuss the serious nature of pursuing demonic cases and the dire consequences involved, his calling to the clothing at an early age, his terrifying experiences at Bobby Mackey’s along with an array of other theological and philosophical tangents. You don’t want to miss this.

Claire Heaney SF12 E36

This week Wes and co-host Jason Boyd speak with Claire Heaney about her Scarefest XII seminar topic, the Twilight Zone. The classic 1959-1964 anthology television series, created by Rod Serling, has spawned various revivals and spiritual successors over the years.

Claire’s focus is the societal impact that the Twilight Zone has had on modern technology. Wes, Jason, and Claire explore the show’s fascination with robots, how today’s society has become so technology reliant, virtual dating, and the surprising number of movies and shows that have mimicked the Twilight Zone over the years. Plus we get loads of commentary on favorite episodes of the show.

For an additional mindfreak, Wes suggests watching The History of Time Travel, currently streaming on Amazon Prime. For additional reading, Claire has recommended the book “The Twilight Zone and Philosophy”.

Horror News SF12 E35

No cohost, no guest but plenty of bad jokes. This week Wes is solo and takes us on a walk through of what to expect at the Inner Light festival and throws in some horror news.

Aliens, the Pope Lick goat man, horror dating apps and famous cats are a part of the topics you’ll hear about this week as well as the awesome seminars and vendors the Inner Light festival will be offering. Think of this weeks episode as a sort of variety show staring the one and only Wes Forsythe.

Ronald Murphy SF12 E34

Ronald developed a love of the unexplained at an early age and that has blossomed into a well developed career researching the paranormal, During their time together, Ronald and Wes discuss the appeal of Bigfoot, the origins of both werewolves and vampires based on biblical and secular literature as well as cultural legends, and how the public images of all of these creatures of the night have evolved through the ages. Fans of cryptozoology will definitely want to catch his seminar at Scarefest.

We also learn that Wes has a legitimate dread of Dogmen and we try to answer the age old questions of which term came first, vampire or vampire bat, and why we have never found a Bigfoot body.
