In this week’s episode, Wes, fresh off of a Louisville Supercon visit, and co-host Chris Sutton talk to Chad Harlan, a self-professed anomaly within the paranormal enthusiasts circle. Chad brings an uncommon element to the table, he happens to be a fraud investigator.
Chad discusses how growing up listening to his grandmas story of “haints” as a child piqued his interest in the paranormal and how he now applies his analytical job skills as a fraud investigator to the world of the paranormal. He shares a few of his guidelines on how to go about layering your evidence as proof of the paranormal, his viewpoints on EVPs, and the absolute importance of protecting your meta data when gathering evidence. He also has valuable insight into the impact of paranormal shows on the paranormal community and the state of advances in the investigative field.
Wes also discusses he possibility of cosplay at this year’s Scarefest. Yes, the cosplay could be a big thing….stayed tuned for more details.
On tonight’s episode Wes comes to us live from the Louisville Supercon, a three day celebration of all things geek. Joining him is pop-culture co-host Holly LaFavers, who may just be the younger female version of Wes from a parallel dimension. Even though the crew faced some questionable internet and some tremendously long walks to get to the booth, they were more than happy with the friendly crowds and abundance of accessible drink options.
During the course of the episode we learned a little about Holly. She is a licensed therapist, has been to every Scarefest since day one, is a wrestling fanatic, and is huge fan of Kentucky native John Carpenter. Holly is a well traveled convention goer, typically visiting 4-6 per year locally, and admits that she is a bit of a skeptic of the paranormal. Viewing through the perspective of a therapist, Holly sees how the paranormal could be strongly connected to mental health and psychology. She also gives us her thoughts on EVP phenomenon and the differences between a spiritual experience and a paranormal experience.
During their time Wes and Holly are visited by Billy Crank, co-host and Ernest P. Worrell impersonator (or is he?). Billy chats briefly about his Ernest character as a way of life and the joy it brings people. Know what I mean? Closing the show, we have a visit by Jake who lets us know that the Supercon was good because he wasn’t leaving angry.
The show will take a more direct focus on horror topics in future episodes as the paranormal topics will be moving to a second segment of the broadcast and a few questions are brought up in regard to the show. What do fans want to hear on Scarefest Radio? How does Wes go about getting more fan interaction? And…what exactly was stuck in Wes’ headphones at the start of the show? Inquiring minds want to know.

On tonight’s episode Wes gives us a one-two punch with two great guests, Jessica Paige York and Chris Maggard. Both are from the upcoming paranormal horror film Rosa Leigh, filmed on location at the reputedly haunted Poasttown Elementary School near Cincinnati, Ohio.
Jessica Paige York is a Lexington native who began her acting career in church and school plays as early as kindergarten. She spent a few years in New York City appearing in various student and independent films before returning to Kentucky. In Rosa Leigh, she plays one of the four paranormal investigators that is drawn to explore the school only to find more than she bargained for. Though she didn’t witness any paranormal activity, she admits filming at Poasttown was a scary experience. Jessica tells us how working on Rosa Leigh has fueled her desire to work further in the horror genre and gives us some insight on the tight knit film community within the local area. Her next project is a more family oriented film appropriately titled Ghost in the Family, currently touring several local film festivals and even winning the Best Family Film award at one of them.
Chris Maggard is one of the first people Wes met in the paranormal field and is the director, writer, and all around jack-of-all trades on the Rosa Leigh movie. Chris spent several years as a production assistant and working on various paranormal reality documentaries before making the move to feature films. Chris and Wes discuss the key dynamic of having good sound in your movies and the challenges of the film making process from start to finish. Chris also stresses the importance of having a good crew behind you, making sure you have all of your legal factors (such as copyrights) ironclad, and always having contingencies in place in case things can go south while filming. Chris is very passionate about the Rosa Leigh project and is highly appreciative of all of the people that helped make it possible. He also teases some cool biblical symbology Easter Eggs within the movie.
We also see the beginnings of Wes’ Winter Beard and hear that he will be appearing and doing Really Bad Tarot Card Readings at the Paranormal Super Con on Nov 3, hosted at none other than the Poasttown Elementary School. Is this some sort of cosmic alignment? Only Rosa Leigh knows…..
