Ghost hunting as we know it is changing and this week Wes sits down to talk to Leo Doyle about those changes and the future of electronic ghost hunting.
Leo is a self proclaimed, open minded skeptic who brings his career as an electrical engineer to the table. He and Wes discuss what it looks like to take a more scientific approach to ghost hunting and the new equipment needed to do so. They also discuss these new and improved technologies aimed at finding tangible, scientific proof that there could be things that go bump in the night.
If ghost hunting isn’t really your thing, then be sure to tune in anyway to see Wes nerding out and two grown men speak in a lot of scientific terms. You may not understand it all, but we promise you’ll be entertained.
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.
James does a tremendous amount of ministry work with the homeless and impoverished single mothers. He funds this ministry through teaching paranormal courses. Interested parties can learn more at bishopjameslong.com/Bishop_James_Long/Paranormal_Course . Direct donations to this ministry can also me made on his homepage at bishopjameslong.com
We also see Wes get his childhood deeply traumatized by the upcoming Banana Splits movie, which re-imagines the early 70’s psychedelic TV show as a horror movie. GROOVY!
Tonight Wes is joined by co-host Ken Boggle, freshly returned from Salem Con to chat with Suzanne McComas. Suzanne is a veteran private investigator, with former military and law enforcement experience, currently living in Kentucky but has served all over the US including California, Texas, and New York. Her current field still has her consulting in cases nationwide. She will be speaking at this year’s Scarefest with her topic being The Demon Within Recognizing Evil. Believing there may be some truly inhuman forces behind the atrocities seemingly ordinary people commit, Suzanne gives a brief sneak preview of what to expect at Scarefest.
Suzanne speaks with Wes and Ken about her work with helping those wrongfully convicted, what common elements that rightfully convicted folks often share, and her belief if there are really “bad seeds” born into the world or if there is a portion of true otherworldly evil that visits itself upon us. She also lets us know that it is definitely the details that help determine a person’s guilt or innocence, as both words and body language are tell-tale signs. Her seminar promises to be educational, thought provoking, and heavy on crowd participation. There will be crime scene photos, so no one under 16 will be permitted.
Wes also gives us 3 (yes 3!) celebrity announcements for Scarefest. We will be seeing Lori Petty (aka Tank Girl), the Ghost Brothers, and wrestler/author Mick Foley. Wow, it just keeps getting better and better, right?! Lastly, we also ask, are demons just too overly saturated in the media nowadays? Check out the show and find out!
Fresh off of a visit to the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention, Wes and cohost Chad Harlan speak with accomplished paranormal investigator, author, and TV personality Jack Kenna. Jack, a senior engineer with the Department of the Army, is a member of the paranormal team S.P.I.R.I.T.S. of New England and is the series lead on the TV series Haunted Case Files and Paranormal Survivor. He has also published two books on the paranormal.
Jack’s interest in the supernatural comes from paranormal experiences dating back to his childhood. He began active investigation in 2009. Jack discusses the importance of having a great investigative team, passes along tips on how to assemble a strong paranormal research team, and gives a few suggestions on how to build experience to those looking to enter the paranormal investigation field. Jack believes in truth in his investigations. Being a TV personality, he recognizes the significance of not letting editors pressure investigators into embellishment.
We also learn a few other interesting facts along the way such as where Wes found the worst hamburger he’s ever tasted and that nurses have the best ghost stories!
Steve and Brian of Spirit Mechanix come on our new show to discuss “spiritual attachments.”
Spirit Mechanix
Spirit Mechanix offers services such as aura cleansing, attachment removal, and intuitive counsel/healing. We are also paranormal consultants and investigators.
Australian paranormal researcher and educator Beth Darlington was this week’s guest.
Beth has been traveling halfway around the world to attend the Scarefest for about four years straight. Her vibrant personality and fascination with our Kentucky culture has made her one of our most popular “fans” and many of us look forward to her appearance every year.
Beth operates “down under” as Access Paranormal where she offers tutorials and advice to her fellow paranormal investigators.
Access Paranormal
THE website for Paranormal Investigators. Focusing on education, its packed with events, info, plus paranormal team directories and job opportunities.
Our first hour of this week’s two part episode features Kyl Cobb with our new co-host Chad Harlan.
Kyl is a historian, demonologist, ghosthunter and regular presenter at The Scarefest with upwards of 30 plus seminars in his portfolio.
The discussion moved between use of the ghost box, demon possession or at least our obsession with it, Kyl’s recent paranormal experiences, The Bell Witch, Ouija boards (a.k.a. The Parlor Game from Hell), and of course paranormal theory (which Wes set Kyl straight on).

I came across Wight Space while surfing Amazon Prime videos.The premise of the series caught my eye. “The near future. Science has proven ghosts exist. We are aware of them more than ever. Now they are more aware of us, and they are everywhere. With society virtually on collapse due to the living having to endure the plight of the dead, the world searches for more effective ways to deal with the ghosts, unaware a far more dangerous threat looms.” Continue reading “Wight Space”
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.
In this weeks post Thanksgiving episode, Wes solo hosts with guest Scott Porter, paranormal investigator with the Tennessee Wraith Chasers.
Scott talks about the Wraith Chasers upcoming live ghost hunt and some of his favorite experiences while filming season 1 of Haunted Live. Scott is an open book and he and Wes talk about everything from farm life (they are both farmers, who knew?), his fitness journey and how he spent his Thanksgiving holiday. To say this was a very diverse interview, would be an understatement.
So, if you’ve ever pondered life’s biggest mysteries like, ham or turkey and is it called deviled or dressed eggs, then you won’t want to miss thiS.
