episode The Truth About Paranormal Evidence, AI, and Ghost Hunting w/ Steve Gonsalves | Ghost City Podcast cover

Description

Let us know who you want to hear next! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2569786/fan_mail/new] Ghost stories are easy to binge. Living with the subject matter for decades is something else entirely. We sit down with Steve Gonsalves [https://www.instagram.com/stevegonsalvesofficial/] from Ghost Hunters to talk about what paranormal investigation looks like when the cameras are off: the sleepless nights, the intrusive memories, and the emotional weight that can hit you days later when a case finally sinks in. We also get nerdy about the parts of the field that are changing fast. Steve shares how conversations with physicists and geophysicists have shaped his thinking on residual hauntings, frequency, energy, and vibration, plus why serious consciousness research is making the “impossible” feel less dismissible than it used to. From debunking common misreads like orbs to questioning shadow phenomena, the goal is the same: filter noise, keep your standards high, and stay honest about what you do not know. Then we step right into the AI problem. Deepfakes and synthetic media can poison paranormal evidence overnight, but AI can also be a powerful tool for evidence filtration, pattern recognition, and analyzing huge datasets like environmental readings and time-based activity. We talk gear myths, why many people misunderstand EMF meters, and a wild EVP experiment involving a vacuum sealed box that raises bigger questions about how electronic voice phenomena might work. If you’re into paranormal investigation, Ghost Hunters, EVPs, haunted houses, or the science behind the unexplained, you’ll walk away with new frameworks and a few new questions to argue about.

episode Ghost Adventures, Attachments, and Life After the Investigation w/ Jay Wasley | Ghost City Podcast artwork

Ghost Adventures, Attachments, and Life After the Investigation w/ Jay Wasley | Ghost City Podcast

Let us know who you want to hear next! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2569786/fan_mail/new] You can feel the moment a “fun ghost hunt” turns into something heavier, and Jay Wasley [https://www.instagram.com/jaywasleyfilm/?hl=en] knows that line better than most. Jay joins us from Ghost Adventures, where he’s spent over 16 years filming, investigating, and dealing with the part nobody sees: what follows you home. We talk candidly about the real risks of paranormal investigation, why dark cases can be an adrenaline rush, and why that rush can come with injuries, anxiety, and the slow creep of negativity if you don’t know how to reset. We also go beyond the haunted-location headlines. Jay shares how music became his most reliable grounding tool after intense investigations, how he watches for the warning signs that something feels “off,” and why creativity and nature can be a lifeline when you’ve been staring into the unknown. From there, we dig into belief systems, prayer vs meditation, intention, and why staying open-minded matters more than picking the “right” label. Then we get into the stories people ask about nonstop: Demon House in Gary, Indiana and Goatman’s Bridge in Texas, plus what makes certain locations feel uniquely dangerous and why beginners should not copy what they see on TV. We also explore a future where paranormal evidence is treated more like research, with shared databases, repeatable patterns, and smarter ways to connect the dots. If you’ve ever wondered what Ghost Adventures is like off-camera, what “attachments” really mean, or how to investigate without blowing up your life, press play.

episode Mirror Scrying, Mediumship, and Paranormal Investigation w/ Third Eye Paranormal | Ghost City Podcast artwork

Mirror Scrying, Mediumship, and Paranormal Investigation w/ Third Eye Paranormal | Ghost City Podcast

Let us know who you want to hear next! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2569786/fan_mail/new] They’re filming a wholesome food show about local bakeries, and then two weeks later they’re back on camera helping people untangle real ghost stories. That contrast is exactly why this conversation with Third Eye Paranormal [https://thirdeyeparanormal.ca/home] works so well. We sit down with Kim, Amy, and Chelsea to talk about what they actually do when the lights go down, the gear comes out, and someone decides to stare into a mirror on purpose. We get specific about mirror scrying and trance mediumship: what it feels like in the body, what they claim to see in the reflection, and why intention is the difference between a focused practice and feeling like something is happening to you at random. We also tackle the skeptical questions head-on, including how they sanity-check experiences, why confirmation often arrives at the end of a case, and how they balance curiosity with safety by staying grounded and working as a team. Then we go down the rabbit holes listeners love: thrifting for haunted objects, psychometry, “haunted doesn’t mean evil,” and what a spell candle is when you strip away the internet panic and focus on intention and symbolism. There’s also a haunted Airbnb moment, the name “Greg” repeating in real time, and even a detour into Bigfoot and the Bridgewater Triangle because paranormal conversations never stay in one lane for long. If you’re into paranormal investigation, mediumship, mirror scrying, haunted antiques, EVPs, and the real-life boundaries that keep it all manageable, you’ll get a lot out of this one.

episode Dark History, Haunted Objects, and the Medieval Torture Museum | Ghost City Podcast artwork

Dark History, Haunted Objects, and the Medieval Torture Museum | Ghost City Podcast

Let us know who you want to hear next! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2569786/fan_mail/new] Rats, fire, a metal cage, and a slow inevitability. That’s where we start, because medieval torture isn’t really “ancient history” when you can still trace its logic in the way societies talk about punishment today. We’re joined by Kim Ashmore, the general manager for the Medieval Torture Museum [https://medievaltorturemuseum.com/] in Los Angeles, and we ask the questions most people avoid once the details get too real: what were these devices built to do, how did they actually work, and why did anyone think this belonged in a justice system?  Kim walks us through the museum’s mission and why interactivity matters for historical learning, especially when the subject is execution tools and torture devices like the guillotine, Iron Maiden, pendulum blade, rack, and more. We unpack the courtroom purpose behind torture, the brutal incentive structure of forced confessions, and the way public fear shaped “order.” Then we go to the darkest corner of the map, comparing infamous methods like the Sicilian bull, torture by rats, impalement on a spire, and the bloody eagle, plus what it reveals about deterrence and spectacle.  Because we’re Ghost City, we also can’t resist the haunted object angle. If trauma can imprint on places and things, what does that mean for a museum full of instruments built for suffering? We end by talking modern punishment, including solitary confinement, and where you can find the Medieval Torture Museum beyond LA, with locations in Chicago and St. Augustine.  If you enjoy dark history, true crime, haunted history, and museum culture, subscribe, share this with a friend who can handle the topic, and leave a review. What part of this conversation changed the way you think about “justice”? ******* Watch this episode and more paranormal content by subscribing to our YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@Ghostcitytours] page! ******* Visit our website [https://ghostcitytours.com/] to schedule a Ghost Tour today!

episode Behind the Paranormal Curtain: Ghost Hunting Lessons from Pennhurst Paracon | Ghost City Podcast artwork

Behind the Paranormal Curtain: Ghost Hunting Lessons from Pennhurst Paracon | Ghost City Podcast

Let us know who you want to hear next! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2569786/fan_mail/new] Pennhurst Paracon is chaos in the best way: packed rooms, big stories, and that moment when a crowd goes silent because someone just shared something they have never said out loud. We pulled together the strongest clips from the celebrity panels so you can hear what seasoned investigators actually fear, what they have learned the hard way, and how they think about risk, respect, and evidence when the lights are off. Our panel highlights feature: * Patti Negri [https://www.instagram.com/patti.negri/?hl=en] & Jay Wasley [https://www.instagram.com/jaywasleyfilm/] * Ghost Brothers [https://www.instagram.com/ghostbrothersda/?hl=en] * Ghost Hunters [https://www.instagram.com/ghosthunters/?hl=en] * Katrina Weidman [https://www.instagram.com/katrinaweidman/?hl=en]  * Ghost Trip Investigation [https://www.instagram.com/ghost_trip_investigation/?hl=en] * Thomas Winterton [https://www.instagram.com/thomasrwinterton/?hl=en], Superintendent at Skinwalker Ranch * Sons of Appalachia [https://www.instagram.com/thesonsofappalachia/?hl=en] * Project Fear [https://www.instagram.com/projectfearofficial/?hl=en] * Twin Paranormal [https://www.instagram.com/twinparanormal/?hl=en] * Nick & Tessa Groff [https://www.instagram.com/tessagroff_/?hl=en] * Rob Gutro [https://www.instagram.com/robgutro_author/], Pet Medium You’ll hear everything from a chilling Ouija board story that spirals into real danger, to haunted location talk that gets oddly specific, including why Old South Pittsburgh Hospital leaves people rattled. We also dig into practical ghost hunting habits like rolling cameras early, staying alert when you are leaving, and why “attachments” come up so often. When the conversation turns darker, guests share what certain places feel like in the body and how they reset afterward using grounding, prayer or meditation, salt baths, and intentional boundaries. Then we pivot into high strangeness with Skinwalker Ranch updates: drilling into the mesa, pulling out thin layers of metal described as forged, and wrestling with what it could mean when the data refuses to fit a neat explanation. We close on something unexpectedly human and comforting with pet medium insights on grief and the ways animals may reconnect through dreams, familiar sounds, and those small signs you notice when you are quiet enough to look.
