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”.

Speaker Announcements SF12 E33

One of Scarefest radio’s original and most popular cohosts, Ken Boggle, sits down with Wes this week to discuss the upcoming speakers for the 2019 Scarfest season.

As always, there are a wide variety of topics and speakers that will be present this year. Topics ranging from demonology, mythological creatures, the Twilight Zone, and even urban legends will be discussed and we welcome back some of our favorite speakers as well as a few new. There may even be a psychic reading in there.

If speaker discussions isn’t your thing, then tune in to find out what made Ken drop the F bomb, what sports team Biggfoot is a fan of and what makes Wes’ butt itch. (It’s not what you may think)

Pat O’Keefe SF12 E32

Psychic medium, author and paranormal investigator Pat O’Keefe joins host Wes and co-host Chad Harlen this week on Scarefest radio.

The trio sit down and discuss Pat’s family background which is full of mediums and how she discovered her gifts at a young age. We learn about the stigma that follows gifted people around the world and how Pat plans to try and ease that stigma with an upcoming art installation.

Everything from Wes and Pat’s first encounter, what she saw in him (turns out Wes is more than just a pretty face) and our mysterious past lives is discussed this week. Be sure to tune in and check out PatBussard.com for more info on her books, upcoming projects and appearances.

Chad and Wes SF12 E30

Wes tests co-host Chad Harlan’s improvisation skills on tonight’s episode and he handles it like a champ. Just prior to broadcast time, scheduled guest Bishop James Long was called to another event so Wes and Chad wing it like Goose and Maverick in a show chalk full of speaker announcements and sidebars.

First up, we learn the Tennessee Wraith Chasers will be joining Scarefest in a return visit. Wes and Chad follow up with a bevy of outstanding speakers slated to enlighten us. First announced were the Southern Gypsies, who will show us how to embrace our inner witch. The list grows with Danielle Bailey, Allen Marston, and Chris Sutton, each of whom will be sharing their insights into a variety of famous American serial killers. Spirit Mechanix will present a seminar on true hauntings versus residual hauntings. And, last but certainly not least, Chad Harlan himself, along with co-speaker Stephen Pulliam, will deliver a seminar on Kentucky Satanic Killers.

In-between announcements Wes and Chad discuss the schizophrenia of social media trolls, the negative depiction of witches, the cornucopia of serial killer topics this year, and Wes’ true feelings about residual hauntings. We might have to research stone tape theory so we can keep up on this one.
