On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 108 "Ghost Lite No.8 Unsolved Mysteries"

On this ghost lite, we have the first in what will hopefully be a mini series, we celebrate Unsolved Mysteries. This is a show that introduced many people, so many strange topics. Though more importantly, it set a tone for contextualizing the paranormal in modern American media that we can still see the impacts of today.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 119 "Grumblethorpe" On this episode we are back in historic Philadelphia, with a house that saw six generations of one family, many historical events, countless visitors and supposedly a few ghosts. This Wister family is well known and documented in the commonwealth's history but this story was new to us. It's exciting to find a place like this which seems beloved by so many in the area for a variety of reasons, so whether you are there for the gardens, wedding, an educational tour or the spirits... you'll make some memories either way we expect.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 118 "Hairy Hands of Dartmouth" On this week's episode, we head back across the pond for more UK folklore. This time to a very specific region of Dartmouth along B3212 near Postbridge. This story has been the subject of many newspaper articles, books and conjectures going back over 100 years. In many ways, it has familiar elements we've looked at in other tales, but this one has some very unique characteristics which make for an interesting inspection.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 117 "The Morgawr" This week we head back across the pond for another Cornish legend which had been sighted many times over the last 100+ years, but never decidedly identified. With so much of the ocean inaccessible by conventional means, it lends itself to stories. When you have an area where so many residents live near, work on, and love the water, it is natural that stories of unknowable beasts come to the surface. Is the Morgawr a single creature, a relic population of marine reptiles or something yet more strange?

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 116 "Dr. PA - Lost Children of the Alleghenies" The week we do something a little different. Before Mike started the Ghost Furnace, Nic and I had a Pennsylvania centric history/folklore podcast that ran from late 2015 until sometime in 2023. It had a different style and format but many of the topics either informed or would expand into elements we talk about on this show. So we wanted to start sharing them with everyone when we have a week like this, where both of us are crazy busy and don't have time to sit down and talk spooky stories with all of you. Let us know what you think about this early take of ours on the Lost Children of the Alleghenies, and if you like us digging into these archives from time to time.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 115 "State College Sasquatch" This week we look at a recent report of a bigfoot in an unlikely, and familiar location. The area along Spring Creek between State College and Bellefonte is a place we have fished many times over the years. It holds a special place in our hearts. So when we heard someone had recently reported a class A encounter, we were eager to look into the story. In many ways this is a textbook sighting, how that affects your opinion of the veracity of the story is up to interpretation. Here is a link to the BFRO report we reference in the episode: www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=78276 If you have a story you'd like to share or a topic you'd like us to research, you can find us on Instagram, Youtube and TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com…

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 114 "Confluence" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace we look at two seemingly paranormal disappearances, one of Charles Ashmore and David Lang. These stories have all the hallmarks, tropes and clues that lead to conjecture of everything from aliens to other dimensions. As per usual, the thread of truth and clarity that runs through these stories isn't what we expected, but maybe should have.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 113 - "Bedford Springs" As we are coming out of the dregs of winter we, like many of you, are looking to travel. There's lots of different options out there given your preferences, destinations and budget but one thing that'll always float to the top of that priority list is a haunted hotel. Bedford Springs is an sulfer spring spa, hotel and resort along the well established route from the coast, into the interior of the country. Lots of history, people and stories mix in this location to create a space which is primed for a haunting. We'll share some of its stories and look at how these types of establishments fit into our history and folklore.

To a particular cemetery that has a few intriguing features and stories to match. Apparitions, anomalous lights, restless bodies and ancestral remnants all divided by a line of demarcation that seems to represent the light and dark itself.

The Ghost Furnace Podcast - Episode 111 "Dangers Both Real & Imagined" In this episode we go down the line to the commonwealth of Kentucky. Under a large steel trestle railroad bridge flows a quiet creek. However, in this secluded location, people from all over gather thanks to an unbelievable story about a monster which supposedly haunted this bridge. The story is told over and over again, just like other urban legends all over the world. The part that often seems overlooked in these stories, is the real danger that comes with putting yourself in the path of these phantoms. The Pope Lick monster is an unusually potent cautionary tale, one everyone should pay attention to. Here is a link to the film we reference in this episode Do you have a story you'd like to share?

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 110 "The Ring in the Basement" The role video plays in the paranormal hasn't changed much over the years. People generally see what they want, or don't want to see in them. What has changed is the prevalence and quality of cameras in not only our investigations, but our day to day lives. This week we look at three videos shared with us that seem to contain anomalies. Ghosts or not, videos like this give us a great example of why deciding what we are often looking at reported video evidence of the paranormal is still just as complex and confounding to figure out as it ever was.…

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 107 "The Falcon Lake Incident" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace, we look at one of the most famous cases in Canadian UFO lore, Falcon Lake. What sets this 1967 case apart is the presence of physical evidence, the massive response by the public and officials, and the legacy it produced. What do you think Stephen Michalak had a run in with on that fateful day?

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 106 "Big Bear" On this week's episode we look at the resort town of Big Bear, nestled in the San Bernardino national forest. Tourists come in to enjoy the lake, high desert, forests and all the other natural attractions the area has to offer. When people gather and relax in the great outdoors, it's natural to tell a few stories to pass the time. We look at some of those stories and what locations like this, with huge fluctuations in population, might have to tell us about the nature of our reality.
