As a follow-up to last week, I will be reading the chapter after the excerpt I read last! Both from my book Hunt Manual: 21st Century Demonology & Forteana. Last week was mostly about serial killers and some cult leaders, and this week will mostly be about cult leaders and then some serial killers -- and of course, this will all focus on their occult obsessions, and we'll attempt to […]
My dad wasn’t a water witch, but he swore by Old Man Marcus.*  8000+ Years of Witching We've been hiring a water witch to dowse for new wells for as long as my farming family can recall. Even deep in our Midwest Bible Belt, it wasn't considered witchcraft. It’s folk wisdom that works. Farmers and homesteaders are a practical lot; they don’t worry about the how. It works, you dig […]
Why does every strip joint have a ghost story?  The Stripper’s Spooky Tale Retired after 20 years of stripping, author Erin Louis retells the story of her encounter in a haunted dressing room. She heard lilting laughter from nowhere. When she went out in the hall a moment later, she saw a “strange glowing orb” floating in the hall. What she finds out next is surprising and hilarious. No spoilers […]
Father Malachi Martin was a spooky regular on Art Bell's late night radio show. An author and former Jesuit priest, he shared (according to him) true stories of demon possession and redemption that commanded rapt, breathless attention - and later, nightmares. Listeners were terrified, locking their doors and clutching rosaries or a crucifix. Many were convinced that they, too, were possessed and called in for help. One of Father Malachi’s […]
Over the years I've done a few exceptionally creepy guest spots on other broadcasts, a few of which were specifically geared for the Halloween season. If you're looking for some really wild Halloween podcasts to listen to, I'd recommend any of these! The links I am posting are all to Spotify, but you can find these wherever you stream your podcasts. Â The Psychology of Halloween - The Secret Teachings […]
Those of a certain generation will remember late nights with cable TV.  We'd aimlessly flick through channels, hoping to find something to watch while drowsing off.  At midnight, the national anthem and a waving flag would signal station signoff before static ruled the airwaves until morning. Maybe you nodded off to the blue grid of the cable guide channel as it scrolled through the channel offerings. Perhaps a scene […]
After a two-week break, this next episode picks up right where the last left off: discussing and investigating the outer limits of strangeness! Joined by my friend, Fortean investigator Bob Antone, we discuss some of the stranger and creepier stories he's encountered throughout his life in North Bend, Washington with his wife Laura. Â You can listen to the episode right here! Â Laura is a native of the First […]
Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! Here comes the first appearance (of many to come on this show) of my friend Joe Rupe, host of Lighting the Void and the main brain behind Fringe FM Radio.

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! In this episode we are setting the stage for our discussions of demonology. This is the first part, and this will be a subject we revisit consistently but not continuously, and we are starting out with poltergeists! We start with analyzing some of the actual sciences here, dealing with analytic psychology and the nervous system. Then the main subjects will be Peter Page and […]
