Dairyland Frights

Listen in to the spookiest tales of the Midwest told by a lifelong Wisconsinite.

John

What happens when true crime, tarot, astrology, psychology, mathematics, and the paranormal collide?
On this episode of Dairyland Frights, John sits down with artist, entrepreneur, researcher, and creator Christian Kenny for a fascinating conversation about the darker side of human behavior and our endless search for patterns in the unknown.
Christian is the creator of Killer Kards Tarot, a true-crime-inspired tarot system that uses real people, astrology, and calculations to connect infamous criminals with traditional tarot archetypes. But the project isn't simply about serial killers. Christian explains how he designed Killer Kards to challenge the glorification of killers while encouraging people to confront the uncomfortable side of tarot known as shadow work.
Christian discusses how tarot archetypes can represent both positive and darker extremes of human behavior, and why confronting those darker interpretations may reveal uncomfortable truths about ourselves.
🔮 Is Tarot Really Supernatural?
Christian offers a very different perspective on tarot.
Rather than viewing the cards themselves as supernatural objects, he describes tarot, astrology, and numerology as different tools for interpreting patterns. He argues that the answers aren't necessarily coming from the cards—the cards can instead help people interpret information already within themselves.
John and Christian explore why symbols and archetypes such as the mother, the magician, death, the hero, and the shadow appear again and again throughout different cultures and periods of history—and whether mathematics might be one way of understanding those recurring patterns.
🔪 Killer Kards Tarot & True Crime
Why are people so fascinated by serial killers?
Christian explains how Killer Kards Tarot attempts to examine the psychology and archetypes behind notorious criminals rather than simply turning them into entertainment.
The conversation explores:

Why society is fascinated with serial killers and true crime
The danger of unintentionally glorifying killers
Tarot archetypes and the darker side of human behavior
Shadow work and confronting uncomfortable truths
Why symbols can have such a powerful psychological effect
The relationship between tarot, astrology, numerology, and mathematics

🕵️ Aurora Crime Stopper
The conversation gets even stranger when Christian introduces Aurora Crime Stopper, software he says grew out of patterns discovered while developing Killer Kards.
Christian describes Aurora as a pattern-recognition system designed to help investigators prioritize potential suspects based on what he calls "capability percentages."
He also explains how the software was provided to private investigators and licensed detectives for testing and use.
Note: Claims about Aurora's accuracy, astrology, criminal profiling, and related predictive abilities discussed in this episode represent the guest's views and experiences and should not be interpreted as scientifically established conclusions.

👁️ Synchronicities, Symbols & the Occult
John and Christian go beyond tarot and true crime to explore some much bigger questions.
Are synchronicities meaningful—or is the human brain simply incredibly good at recognizing patterns?
Can objects carry something that people interpret as energy?
Are there occult practices that even someone deeply interested in the subject refuses to practice?
Christian discusses the distinction he makes between "energy" and "frequency" and explains why curiosity and education don't necessarily mean practicing everything you encounter.
The discussion ultimately raises one of the biggest questions of the episode:
Are human beings discovering patterns that already exist in the universe—or creating patterns because we desperately need the universe to make sense?
🎙️ In This Episode
You'll hear about Killer Kards Tarot, tarot symbolism, shadow work, true crime psychology, serial killers, astrology, numerology, archetypes, Aurora Crime Stopper, criminal profiling, synchronicities, intuition, occult traditions, skepticism, pattern recognition, and the mysterious power of the human mind.
Whether you're fascinated by paranormal phenomena, tarot, astrology, true crime, unexplained mysteries, psychology, or the occult, this episode takes the conversation into some unusual territory.

Christian Kenny: Killer Kards Tarot, True Crime, Astrology & the Hidden Patterns Around Us

What if the coincidences in your life aren't really coincidences?
On this episode of Dairyland Frights, John welcomes author Sophia Demas for a fascinating conversation about synchronicities, divine intelligence, miracles, intuition, signs from departed loved ones, and the possibility that consciousness continues after death.
Sophia is the author of The Divine Language of Coincidence: How Miracles Transformed My Life After I Began Paying Attention and Consciousness Beyond Death: True Stories of Signs, Messages, and Timing.
Sophia believes meaningful coincidences—or synchronicities—can act as messages pointing us toward the paths we're meant to take. But recognizing the sign isn't enough. One of her central messages is simple:
Pay attention. Listen. Take action.
👻 In This Episode
John and Sophia explore:


The difference between an ordinary coincidence and a meaningful synchronicity


How Sophia's childhood shaped her openness to the unseen


Dreams as possible messages or guidance


Why taking action may be the missing piece behind synchronicity


Whether our lives are predetermined or influenced by free will


The difference between manifestation and divine guidance


Why obstacles may sometimes be signs rather than setbacks


Angels, spirits, and departed loved ones


After-death communication


Whether consciousness survives physical death


Signs from loved ones after they pass


Ghosts, spirits, and unusual forms of communication


How experiences surrounding death can replace fear with hope


✨ When Coincidence Becomes Synchronicity
Sophia explains that not every coincidence carries meaning. It's when a coincidence arrives at precisely the right moment—and leads to something meaningful—that she begins viewing it as synchronicity.
Through her own experiences, she came to believe that something greater may communicate through dreams, unexpected encounters, obstacles, and seemingly random events.
The crucial step, however, is what happens next:
You have to take action.
Sophia shares how acting on these moments led to extraordinary changes in her own life.
🌙 A Dream That Changed Everything
At 19, Sophia experienced an intensely vivid dream in which she appeared first as a bride and then discovered herself lying in a coffin.
Initially terrified that the dream predicted her death, Sophia received an entirely different interpretation: perhaps something within her needed to "die" so that outdated beliefs could be replaced by new ones.
The experience became an important turning point in her life and helped shape how she would later understand dreams, intuition, and divine guidance.
🌪️ The Honeymoon That Almost Ended in Disaster
Sophia also tells the remarkable story of her honeymoon in Mexico.
A frustrating passport problem disrupted the couple's travel plans. What initially appeared to be a terrible setback may have saved their lives.
A hurricane devastated the area they planned to visit, and Sophia later discovered that seven of the nine huts at their intended destination had been swept away in a mudslide.
The experience left her wondering:
Can an obstacle sometimes be protection?
💫 Coincidences, Miracles & Taking Action
Sophia shares several extraordinary stories surrounding her wedding.
A wrong phone number unexpectedly connected her with someone she knew—and eventually resulted in a beautiful wedding venue.
Another strange chain of events connected her with a concert violinist who ultimately performed Sophia's favorite piece of music at her wedding.
Sophia also discusses how a series of coincidences led her to meet and eventually work with one of her idols, legendary architect and futurist Buckminster Fuller.
For Sophia, these experiences illustrate the difference between simply noticing something unusual and being willing to follow where it leads.
🧠 Manifestation vs. Divine Guidance
John and Sophia also tackle the popular idea of manifestation.
Can we simply visualize something strongly enough and make it happen?
Sophia offers a different perspective.
Sometimes the obstacles standing between us and what we desperately want might actually be trying to tell us something. Instead of forcing every desired outcome, she argues that we should remain aware of patterns, intuition, and repeated warning signs.
Sometimes getting what we want isn't necessarily getting what we need.
🕯️ Consciousness Beyond Death
The conversation then turns toward Sophia's second book, Consciousness Beyond Death: True Stories of Signs, Messages, and Timing.
John and Sophia discuss one of humanity's oldest questions:
Does consciousness survive death?
Sophia shares experiences that convinced her that death may represent the end of the physical body—but not necessarily the end of consciousness.
They explore after-death communications, signs from departed family members, meaningful timing, and stories of people who believe loved ones intervened from beyond.
☎️ Phone Calls From the Dead?
Among the episode's strangest stories are accounts involving telephone calls apparently connected to deceased relatives.
Sophia recalls two roommates who independently experienced unusual calls on the same telephone. Each believed they recognized the voice of a deceased family member.
Could technology sometimes become an unexpected bridge between the living and the dead?
❤️ Replacing Fear With Gratitude
Despite discussing death, this episode ultimately isn't about fear.
It's about hope.
Sophia explains how her experiences changed the way she thinks about mortality and the people she has lost. Instead of concentrating only on their absence, she tries to focus on gratitude for having shared her life with them.
Her message to listeners is equally powerful: she doesn't consider herself a guru or someone possessing extraordinary abilities.
She's an ordinary person who experienced extraordinary things.
And perhaps the first step toward experiencing something similar is simply being willing to pay attention.

Dairyland Frights: Synchronicities, Miracles & Consciousness Beyond Death with Sophia Demas

What happens when modern paranormal technology meets tarot cards, pendulums, haunted hotels, creepy dolls, mysterious handprints, and locations filled with unexplained energy?
On this episode of Dairyland Frights, John welcomes Nick and Kendra of 3rd Palm Paranormal, a Colorado-based paranormal investigation team that has been exploring the unexplained since 2016.
Nick and Kendra take a different approach to ghost hunting, combining equipment such as EMF meters, cameras, recorders, and radios with more traditional spiritual tools, including tarot, pendulums, and runes.
And they have some seriously spooky stories to share.
👻 Inside This Episode
Nick and Kendra take us inside their recent visit to Glen Isle Resort in Bailey, Colorado, an isolated historic property that immediately gave them spooky vibes. The resort features historic cabins, unusual stories, a massive collection of antique dolls, and plenty of unexplained history.
And yes... there are hundreds of creepy dolls.
John is not thrilled.
The team also discusses their plans to return to Glen Isle for a much deeper paranormal investigation around Halloween.
But that is only the beginning.
🏨 The Stanley Hotel Experience
One of Nick and Kendra's earliest paranormal experiences happened at the legendary Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.
During a nearly empty winter stay on the reportedly haunted fourth floor, they experienced something they still can't fully explain.
In the middle of the night, they heard what sounded like children laughing and running through the hallway.
When they opened the door?
Nobody was there.
That experience helped inspire them to take paranormal investigating more seriously and eventually build 3rd Palm Paranormal.
🌑 The Terrifying Third Bridge Story
One of the creepiest stories of the episode comes from Colorado's infamous Third Bridge.
During a late-night visit, Nick and his friends stood in the darkness listening to what sounded like distant drumming across the plains.
Then things became even stranger.
They thought they saw shadowy figures moving through the darkness.
When they decided they had experienced enough and tried to leave, their car wouldn't start.
Eventually, they escaped.
Then someone looked through the rear window.
The glass was fogged over...
except for two unexplained handprints.
Nope.
Absolutely nope.
📻 Paranormal Investigation Equipment
Nick and Kendra also discuss some of their favorite tools for communicating with possible spirits.
Kendra favors an old radio they use almost like a spirit box, while Nick incorporates tarot readings into investigations to help determine what kind of energy they may encounter.
The conversation also explores:

EMF meters
Spirit communication
Tarot readings
Pendulums
Radios and spirit boxes
The Estes Method
The increasingly popular "death bell"
Asking the right questions during an investigation

🔎 Evidence or Something Ordinary?
3rd Palm Paranormal doesn't assume that every strange noise or EMF spike is supernatural.
In fact, Nick believes debunking paranormal evidence is just as important as discovering it.
During their Glen Isle visit, an EMF meter suddenly began reacting near a cabinet filled with creepy antique dolls.
Haunted dolls?
Not quite.
After investigating further, they discovered electrical wiring behind the cabinet.
Sometimes a mysterious shadow might be a spirit.
Sometimes it's an owl flying past a window.
That's why Nick and Kendra approach investigations with curiosity instead of assuming everything unexplained must be paranormal.
😱 Can Paranormal Energy Follow You Home?
The conversation also gets deeper as Nick describes feeling emotionally drained following one investigation.
For several days afterward, something simply felt wrong.
Was it a paranormal attachment?
Lingering energy?
Or the psychological effects of spending hours inside an emotionally charged location?
The group discusses how investigators sometimes report unexplained sadness, anger, exhaustion, fear, and other emotional reactions following investigations.
🏚️ Favorite Haunted Locations
Nick and Kendra have investigated numerous locations throughout Colorado, including:
The Stanley Hotel — Estes Park, Colorado
Hotel Colorado — Glenwood Springs, Colorado
Glen Isle Resort — Bailey, Colorado
Third Bridge — Colorado
The Hand Hotel — Fairplay, Colorado
They also discuss Colorado's unusual paranormal history and why old mining communities, cemeteries, historic hotels, and remote mountain towns continue to generate so many ghost stories.
🎃 Horror Movie Lightning Round
Things get a little less serious when John puts Nick and Kendra through some important horror survival questions.
Who would survive a zombie apocalypse?
Who would speak first to a full-body apparition?
And most importantly...
If you had to face Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, or Jason Voorhees, which horror icon would you choose?
The answer leads to exactly the kind of conversation you'd expect on Dairyland Frights.
🏰 The Ultimate Paranormal Bucket List
If money were no object, where would 3rd Palm Paranormal investigate?
Kendra dreams of exploring an ancient haunted castle somewhere in Ireland or Scotland, while Nick also puts the legendary Crescent Hotel in Arkansas high on his paranormal bucket list.
And naturally, John has another suggestion:
Dracula's Castle in Transylvania.
Private jet optional.
Vampire transformation strongly discouraged.
👻 About 3rd Palm Paranormal
Nick and Kendra of 3rd Palm Paranormal have been exploring paranormal locations since 2016.
Their investigations combine traditional paranormal equipment with spiritual practices such as tarot and pendulum work while maintaining a skeptical approach toward unexplained evidence.
They're also preparing for another investigation of Glen Isle Resort around Halloween as they continue rebuilding and expanding 3rd Palm Paranormal.

Haunted Colorado, Ghost Hunting & Things That Go Bump in the Night w/3rd Palm Paranormal

What happens when paranormal experiences begin before you're even old enough to understand them?
On this episode of Dairyland Frights, John welcomes Rodmonh, a Florida-based experiencer, musician, and paranormal enthusiast whose encounters with the unexplained stretch back to early childhood. Rodman shares stories of premonitions, apparitions, strange spiritual connections, haunted locations, and experiences that have left him searching for answers throughout his life.
👻 A Terrifying Childhood Encounter
Rodmonh says his first unusual experience happened when he was only two years old. While riding in the backseat of his parents' car, he suddenly screamed and pointed ahead moments before witnessing a fatal motorcycle accident—an experience that made his parents wonder whether their son was sensing something they couldn't.
A few years later, his family converted an old blue school bus into an RV. On his first night sleeping inside, Rodman says an elderly woman appeared at the end of his bunk bed.
That apparition became the beginning of a year-long nightmare.
For roughly twelve months, Rodmonh says he experienced the same disturbing recurring dream involving a dark conveyor belt, frightening sounds, and the mysterious woman appearing at the end. The experiences abruptly stopped after his family moved out of the bus.
🔮 Premonitions That Became Reality
As Rodmonh grew older, the experiences became even harder to dismiss.
He recounts having a vivid premonition involving a child riding a bicycle while carrying a Halloween ghost bank. The following day, a boy carrying that same type of bank entered his father's jewelry store, bought baseball cards, talked excitedly about winning a new bicycle—and was later struck by a vehicle after leaving the store.
The experience left Rodmonh wrestling with questions about premonitions, responsibility, and whether knowing something might happen means you can—or should—try to change it.
🕯️ Intuition, Messages & Spirit Guides
Rodmonh also discusses moments when information seems to arrive through what he describes as a deep internal knowing.
In one powerful story, he felt compelled late at night to send someone an unexpected message telling them how loved and important they were. The person immediately responded and told Rodmonh the message had arrived during an extremely serious personal crisis. The experience changed the way Rodman views—and responds to—his intuition.
Rodmonh also shares his belief in spirit guides and explains why he connects spiritually with what he calls the Great Spirit, looking toward nature, animals, synchronicities, and signs for guidance.
🏚️ Haunted Locations & Paranormal Investigation
Could certain places act as portals or make us feel as though we've stepped into another time?
Rodmonh describes visiting Pennhurst Asylum and experiencing an overwhelming shift after crossing into the Mayflower basement. He says the atmosphere suddenly felt as though he had entered an entirely different time period.
He also discusses paranormal investigation, being described as a "spirit magnet," visiting haunted locations, and his desire to investigate places including St. Augustine's historic haunted sites and the Stanley Hotel.
⚰️ The Haunted Funeral Home
One of Rodmonh's most frightening stories goes back to childhood.
His grandparents were in the funeral home business, and their house doubled as a funeral home, complete with a mortuary area in the basement.
While spending the night, young Rodmonh slept in a room containing a full-sized suit of armor. After the lights went out, he says he heard metal clanging—and then watched the armored figure begin walking toward his bed.
Even more unsettling?
When his mother rushed into the room, she asked him what had made the clanging noise.
🎙️ In This Episode
You'll hear about:

Rodmonh's paranormal experiences beginning in early childhood
A mysterious apparition connected to an old school bus
Recurring supernatural nightmares
Premonitions that appeared to become reality
The emotional burden of sensing danger before it happens

👽 Was Britain's Most Famous UFO Encounter Really an Alien Landing?
Could one of the world's most compelling UFO cases actually be proof that we're not alone?
This week on Dairyland Frights, John welcomes special guest Tommy from the Let's Get Freaky Podcast for an in-depth discussion about one of the most debated paranormal mysteries ever recorded—the Rendlesham Forest Incident, often called "Britain's Roswell."

👻 The Enfield Monster, the Haunted Elsa Doll & Other True Paranormal Mysteries | Nightland Frights Podcast
Some stories refuse to stay buried.
In this chilling episode of Nightland Frights, we investigate four bizarre real-life cases that continue to puzzle paranormal researchers, skeptics, and believers alike. From one of America's most famous cryptid encounters to a seemingly haunted children's toy, these strange stories blur the line between folklore, unexplained phenomena, and terrifying reality.
First, we travel to rural Illinois to revisit the legendary Enfield Monster, a mysterious three-legged creature reportedly witnessed by multiple people in 1973. Were the witnesses describing an unknown animal, an elaborate hoax, or something far more disturbing?
Next, we explore the viral case of the Haunted Elsa Doll—a toy that reportedly continued speaking, changed languages on its own, and repeatedly returned after being thrown away. Is there a rational explanation, or did this family experience something truly supernatural?
Then we uncover one of the strangest home renovation discoveries ever reported: dozens of dead animals hidden inside the walls of a Pennsylvania house, allegedly connected to centuries-old Pennsylvania Dutch Pow-wow folk magic and protective rituals.
Finally, we examine a disturbing real-life case from Florida involving alleged demonic rituals, criminal abuse, and the frightening consequences of dangerous belief systems.
Whether you're fascinated by cryptids, haunted objects, urban legends, or unexplained mysteries, this episode is packed with eerie stories that may leave you questioning what's really possible.

Ghost Hunting, EVPs, and Paranormal Evidence with Liminal Shadows Paranormal 
In this episode of Dairyland Frights, host John welcomes paranormal investigators Rachel and Keith from Liminal Shadows to explore the fascinating world of ghost hunting, EVP recordings, haunted locations, and paranormal investigation techniques. The couple shares their experiences investigating some of the most active haunted sites in the United States and explains how their investigative dynamic works, with Rachel approaching the paranormal as a believer while Keith brings a healthy dose of skepticism. 
Liminal Shadows with Rachel. Together they discuss the evidence they've captured during investigations, including disembodied voices, unexplained whistles, mysterious EVPs, and strange activity caught on multiple recording devices. The investigators explain how reviewing audio evidence after an investigation often reveals voices or sounds that were not heard in the moment, making EVP recordings one of the most compelling forms of paranormal evidence. 
Rachel and Keith also share stories from haunted locations, including Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, Waverly Hills Sanatorium, and historic sites in Tennessee, where investigators have experienced strange energy, unexplained sounds, and even physical sensations believed to be paranormal encounters. 
Throughout the conversation, they dive deep into ghost hunting equipment, discussing tools like EMF detectors, audio recorders, SLS cameras, and one of their favorite pieces of equipmen the “dead bell,” a modified hotel bell that responds to electromagnetic energy and may allow spirits to communicate through physical interaction. 
The discussion also explores theories behind paranormal phenomena, including stone tape theory, environmental energy from storms or limestone structures, and whether spirits are residual echoes of past events or intelligent entities capable of communication.
To wrap up the episode, the investigators join John for a fun Paranormal Newlywed Game, where the couple answers questions about investigating together, surviving a zombie apocalypse, and what happens when ghost hunts get a little too serious—or a little too funny.
Whether you're a seasoned paranormal investigator or just curious about ghosts and haunted places, this episode offers a fascinating look at real ghost hunting experiences, paranormal research, and the mysteries that continue to haunt investigators across the Midwest and beyond.

In this episode, host John welcomes back award-winning author Aaron Ryan, creator of The Dissonance Saga and the upcoming Talisman Series. Together, they explore the dark corners of imagination, morality, and survival — from terrifying alien invasions to the power of hope in a collapsing world.
Aaron shares how The Dissonance Saga began as a trilogy and grew into a six-book epic of human endurance against monstrous Gorgons that paralyze their victims with a glance. He reveals the real-life fears and cinematic influences behind his stories — from Clash of the Titans to Lord of the Rings — and how his new Talisman trilogy continues his exploration of faith, redemption, and cosmic bargains.
They dive deep into:


👁️ The terrifying origins of the Gorgons and why fear fuels creativity


🧬 How science fiction can mirror real-world crises like AI and genetic engineering


💀 Why humanity—not monsters—is often its own worst enemy

Aaron also talks about his creative process, his struggles with writer’s block, and the personal moments that shaped his characters — from flawed heroes to wise mentors like Pastor Rosie, who appears across his connected “Ryanverse.”
👻 Episode Highlights


“I wanted to reinvent the wheel — something terrifying, but rooted in humanity.”


“Hope is the only thing stronger than fear. Without it, everything collapses.”


“AI can’t write emotion. It can’t feel loss or faith — that’s why human stories matter.”


“The Gorgons came from my childhood fear of Medusa. That’s where the nightmares began.”


“Fiction lets us explore moral questions safely — what we could do, and what we shouldn’t.”

Maryam the Psychic: Aliens, Spirits & Lost Pets—Unveiling the Unseen

Welcome back to Dairyland Frights! Join hosts John, Megan, and Brooke as they kick off their spooky Wisconsin series with two of the state’s most chilling legends — The Hodag of Rhinelander and The Haunted Rogers Theater of Wausau.
First, Brooke dives into the strange, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt history of the Hodag, the bizarre horned cryptid that began as a lumberjack tall tale and ended up becoming the mascot of Rhinelander High School. You’ll learn how prankster Eugene Shepard created the hoax that fooled the Smithsonian, why lumberjacks told stories of vengeful oxen spirits, and how a fake monster brought an entire town back to life.
Then, Megan takes us deep into the dark basement of the Rogers Theater, where unseen hands push workers, projectors flicker off, and rows of empty seats start rocking violently on their own. Could the building’s strange past — once a funeral home, brothel, and furniture shop — have cursed it forever?

🕯️ Highlights


The hilarious feud between Brooke and Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures (and why he blocked her on Twitter!)


The real history of the Peshtigo Fire and how it shaped Wisconsin’s spooky folklore


The Hodag’s rise from logging camp myth to pop-culture icon

Re- Release of The Legend of the Hodag & Haunted Rogers Theater

Welcome back to Dairyland Frights, the Midwest’s creepiest paranormal podcast! In this chilling episode, John, Brooke, and Megan uncover two of Wisconsin’s most spine-tingling legends — The Ridgeway Ghost and The Mineral Point Vampire.
First, Megan brings us Paranormal News from the Holy Hill Art Farm, where a mysterious trail-cam photo captures what appears to be a tall ghostly woman wandering the cornfields near Holy Hill, sparking thousands of Facebook reactions.
Then, John dives into the bizarre story of The Ridgeway Ghost — a shape-shifting spirit said to appear every 40 years along Highway 151 between Dodgeville and Blue Mounds. With roots in 1800s mining-town violence and folklore, this ghost allegedly killed those who saw it — sometimes appearing as a man, pig, or even a ball of fire.
Finally, Brooke brings the night home with the notorious Mineral Point Vampire, a caped figure first spotted in 1981 leaping over cemetery fences and terrifying police. The sightings continued into the 2000s, with eerie encounters at lakes and apartment buildings. Was this a true vampire, a prankster goth, or something else lurking in Wisconsin’s Driftless hills?

From Haunted Houses to Hollywood: The Spooky Adventures of Sophia Temperilli

The Poltergeist and the Girl: Tina Resch’s Unbelievably Strange Story
🔮 Episode Summary:
In this episode of Nightland Frights, we dive into the haunting and heart-wrenching tale of Tina Resch, a 14-year-old girl from Ohio who, in 1984, became the center of one of America's most notorious poltergeist cases. When objects began flying through her home, her foster mother reached out—not to a priest or psychologist—but to a journalist.
What followed was a media circus, a scientific investigation, and a national debate between believers and skeptics. But behind the flashing cameras and flying phones was a deeply troubled girl navigating trauma, fame, and suspicion. Was Tina truly haunted? Or was she crying out in the only way she knew how?
We explore the broader history of poltergeists, the bizarre preference these spirits seem to have for teenage girls, and how centuries of folklore, misogyny, and media hysteria shaped this unforgettable story.
👻 Topics Covered:


The chilling events in the Resch household


Photo evidence and national media attention


The role of parapsychologist William Roll


The skeptical intervention of magician James Randi


The history of poltergeists and why they often focus on young women


How trauma and adolescence may fuel hauntings


The tragic and complex aftermath for Tina Resch


🧠 Key Takeaways:


Poltergeist cases often center around vulnerable, adolescent girls.


The intersection of media, trauma, and the supernatural can distort reality.


The Tina Resch case serves as both a paranormal mystery and a sobering commentary on how we treat troubled youth.

🔦 Episode Overview:
In this eerie and entertaining episode, John welcomes Liam, co-host of The Spooky Shed podcast, for a transatlantic chat about haunted sheds, poltergeists, and the infamous Black Monk of Pontefract. They share personal experiences, swap ghost stories, and dig deep into one of the UK’s most haunted houses.
👻 Topics Covered:


Introducing The Spooky Shed:
Liam explains the origins of the podcast, why it’s literally recorded in a shed, and how he and co-host Billy went from football chat to paranormal talk after a heated ghost debate.


Paranormal Happenings in the Shed:
Liam recounts strange events that only occur during spooky recordings—heavy footsteps on the shed roof, unexplained door openings, and the eerie difference when the lights are red.

Liam’s childhood memories of speaking to “invisible” people.

A personal haunting during his first solo night as a teenager.




Belief in the Paranormal:

🏚️ Main Feature: The Black Monk of Pontefract
A deep dive into the legend and lore of what is believed to be the most haunted house in Britain, located at 30 East Drive in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
Historical Background:


Ordinary-looking council house on the Checkered Fields Estate.


Home to the Pritchard family in the 1960s, who were terrorized by a poltergeist named "Fred."


Paranormal activity: levitating objects, doors slamming, footsteps, cold spots, and violent occurrences.


Key Incidents Discussed:


Diane Pritchard was allegedly dragged up the stairs by her hair.


Attempts to “banish” Fred with garlic and hymns (and his mocking response with floating gloves!).


Investigators are experiencing voices, physical injuries (e.g., broken bones), and a heavy atmosphere.


Lisa Routing, a frequent visitor, calls Fred her "spiritual husband" after 80+ visits.


Music boxes playing independently, EMF spikes, and interactive toys like cat balls.

Liam’s shed chair moves mid-recording—live on the show!

Both hosts agree that whatever haunts 30 East Drive seems territorial and possibly evil.

John and Liam caution against the use of Ouija boards and stress safety when ghost hunting.


Plans to investigate the house personally in the future (Liam may ditch Billy if he doesn't hurry up!).
