GhoulTalk

This week, questions receive answers and beget...more questions. Repy recounts how Chelsea Jane Doe was identified as Pennsylvania teenager Tiffany Bradley. Then, Austyn takes us to Breckenridge, Colorado, in January 1982, where a blizzard, a stuck truck, and the murders of Annette Schnee and Bobbie Jo Oberholtzer would leave investigators with questions that remained unanswered for decades.   Follow GhoulTalk on Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok!

This week on GhoulTalk, Austyn and Repy explore two legendary locations where history and hauntings have become inseparable. Repy takes us to the Gardner–Pingree House in Salem, Massachusetts, the site of the shocking 1830 murder of Captain Joseph White. From one of America's earliest true crime sensations to chilling reports that the murder replays itself each year, the house has earned a reputation as one of Salem's most unsettling haunted locations. Meanwhile, Austyn takes us to Leap Castle in Ireland, often called the world's most haunted castle. What begins as the history of a medieval fortress quickly descends into centuries of family betrayals, priests murdered at the altar, poisoned feasts, hidden treasure, a spike-filled oubliette packed with human remains, and an ever-growing cast of spirits that may have never left. From Salem's lingering echoes of murder to Ireland's castle of blood and ghosts, this episode proves that some places don't just remember their history—they refuse to let it go.  Follow GhoulTalk on Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok!

What would you do if you discovered that a relative had been executed for murder? When forensic mental health clinician Austyn Castelli received a text message about an executed family member, she expected to find a straightforward true crime story. Instead, she uncovered a tangled history and a death penalty case that raised more questions than answers. Threat to Society follows one woman's attempt to understand the life, crime, and execution of Joseph Savino—and what that journey reveals about crime, punishment, and human behavior. This is where the investigation begins.   Follow Threat to Society Project on Instagram, TikTok, and wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week on GhoulTalk, Austyn and Repy return with another collection of bizarre, horrifying, and deeply unfortunate deaths that prove reality is often stranger than fiction. Repy takes us through a series of gruesome modern tragedies, including the horrifying elevator accident that killed advertising executive Suzanne Hart, the devastating Disney ride incident that claimed the life of Deborah Gail Stone, and the fatal rollercoaster accident involving teenage ride operator Mark Blackwood. Meanwhile, Austyn dives into history’s strangest fatalities: a lamplighter crushed by his own homemade alarm clock, a tavern owner killed by a vodka-drunk bear, a baseball spectator fatally stabbed by a foul ball and an unfortunate pocketknife, and the Victorian-era woman whose compulsive hair eating led to one of the most disturbing autopsy findings imaginable.

This week on GhoulTalk, Austyn and Repy dig up some of history’s most infamous remains — literally. Austyn begins with the tragic and bizarre postmortem journey of Catherine Parr, the final wife of Henry VIII, whose body was repeatedly exhumed, desecrated, and discarded for centuries after her death. Then he heads to the California desert to unravel the unbelievable true story of Gram Parsons, the rock musician whose friends stole his corpse from LAX and attempted to cremate him in Joshua Tree with gasoline and a stolen hearse. Meanwhile, Repy explores the strange afterlife of Argentina’s beloved First Lady Eva Perón, whose embalmed body vanished for years amid political upheaval, secret burials, and rumors of abuse at the hands of military officials. She also dives into the grisly fate of Oliver Cromwell, the English ruler whose corpse was exhumed, hanged, decapitated, and displayed on a spike years after his death as an act of political revenge. From royal tombs and missing bodies to flaming hearses and posthumous executions, this episode proves that sometimes death is only the beginning.   Follow GhoulTalk on Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok!

Repy and Austyn dive into two of the most notoriously haunted locations in the world: England’s Pluckley Village—often dubbed the most haunted village in Britain—and Russia’s eerie Obvodny Canal, where whispers of a “suicide curse” have lingered for centuries. Are these places truly saturated with restless spirits, or are fear and folklore shaping the stories we tell? From phantom highwaymen and screaming woods to dark waters said to compel the living toward death, they unravel the history, psychology, and chilling accounts behind these haunted hotspots. Are these legends rooted in something supernatural… or something far more human? Follow GhoulTalk on Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok!

This week on GhoulTalk, Austyn and Repy dive into two stories where belief, control, and charisma collide in unsettling ways. Austyn kicks things off with the Modern Mystery School, a real-life spiritual organization built on alien encounters, DNA activation, and a self-proclaimed master with a history of reinvention. From Iceland to Utah and beyond, this story explores how mysticism, money, and manipulation can blur the line between enlightenment and exploitation. Then Repy takes us into the disturbing story of Michael Woroniecki, a radical street preacher whose extreme beliefs and fear-based teachings have been linked to lasting psychological harm—and even tragedy. Grab your crystal wand (or maybe don’t) and prepare for an episode that explores how far people will go in the name of faith, power, and transformation.   Our theme music is a derivative work featuring samples from Scream (1996) and The Shining (1980).  The hosts of GhoulTalk are Austyn (IG, X, TikTok) and Repy (IG, X, TikTok) Follow GhoulTalk on Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok!

This week on GhoulTalk, Repy and Austyn dive into mysterious disappearances, cursed towns, and the terrifying possibility that sometimes people just… vanish. Repy kicks things off with The Lost Boys of Hannibal, the chilling true story of three Missouri boys who disappeared in 1967 after exploring newly uncovered caves near a highway construction site. Then Austyn takes us north to Portlock, Alaska, a remote town that was mysteriously abandoned after residents claimed something in the surrounding wilderness was attacking people. Grab your headlamp and maybe stay out of the caves (and the Alaskan wilderness) as we explore two unsettling mysteries where people walked into the unknown… and never came back.
