The Ghost Furnace - Episode 159 "The Keystone Hagstone w/ Timothy Renner" 

 

On this week's episode we welcome back author, podcaster, musician and artist Timothy Renner to speak about his new book "The Keystone Hagstone: Faeries and Other Mysterious Entities of Pennsylvania" This book does a fantastic job of bringing light to forgotten stories of lesser known denizens of the commonwealth. Tim digs through historical accounts to parse out new connections between the roots of those who have settled in Penn's woods and how those cultural frameworks give us a unique perspective on the Other. This is essential reading for anyone who is interested in folklore and the spookier side of the state.

Ghost Furnace Episode 158 "Cemetery Honey"

  On this episode we take another run at recording an on-site episode at a local historic and reportedly haunted cemetery. The first time around, we were plagued by electronic problems, this time we fared much better, but not without some weirdness.    If you have a story you'd like to share, or something you'd like us to look into, you can find us on Instagram, YouTube and TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com  

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 149 "The Disappearance of Dale Kerstetter"   We both have been pulled in lots of directions the last few weeks and as we gear up for a busy Spring we hope you'll enjoy this bit from the archive. On this week's episode, we harken back to a mystery from the northern tier of the commonwealth we covered back in our Dr. Pennsylvania days and mentioned in some recent episodes. Like many unsolved crimes in the area, and beyond, there are plenty of almost satisfying theories and threads to pull on.    We talk about Dr. PA often on this show, if you are interested there are years of episodes still available on most podcatchers as well at: https://doctorpennsylvania.libsyn.com/   If you have a story you'd like to share, or we should look into, please reach out to us on Instagram, YouTube or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

The Ghost Furnace Podcast - Episode 60 "Trouble the Stones"

  On this episode of the Ghost Furnace, we look at a few stories from across the pond. We talk about Ghosts, Black Dogs, Poltergeists and more from the Republic of Ireland.

Episode 59    This week we take a look at an old favorite, Henry Shoemaker. Specifically, at a story of a possibly spectral wolf who appears after a grizzly death. Shoemakers book "Pennsylvania Mountain Stories" is one of our all time favorites and will certainly make more appearances in the future. If you are into Pa folklore, it's a must.    If you have a story you'd like to share, please reach out to us on Facebook, Instagram or at TheGhostFurancePodcast@gmail.com
