  • 24. Mary Howe
    Nov 9 2022
    Did you know Maine is more than just a hotbed of fictional horrors? We’re coming for you, Stephen King. The Pine Tree State is also home to at least one maybe-dead maybe-ghost, and we honor her today on Is This a Ghost? (The answer is…maybe?) This is the story of Mary Howe. Come for the ghost, stay for the Hippocratic Oath for gravediggers, the transcendentalism of Batman, the right temperature for not-dead hot stones, horse-drawn busses of 1882, the perfect month for pizza, and Glidden: The “Nick” of the 19th century.

  • 23. The Skirvin Hotel
    Nov 2 2022
    The best thing about Oklahoma is that ghosts don’t like it anymore than you do. Clayton had to plumb the depths of human experience to find a worthwhile ghost story from the The Sooner-Die-Than-Live-Here State, but with the hard work and grit that’s always been a hallmark of this podcast, he managed. Oh, also, you’ll learn this toward the end, but we’re an ESPN podcast now.

  • 22. The Whaley House (HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR)
    Oct 26 2022
    It’s Halloweentime, and we wanted to give you a treat. Or I guess it’s really more of a trick. Well it’s a trick that’s sort of a treat, and it’s this: Patrick is dressing up as Clayton for this Halloween episode, and he’s the one telling the ghost story this time. That’s right, he’s gunning for the big chair, and all Clayton can say is, IF YOU COME AT THE KING, YOU BEST NOT MISS.

  • 21. The Ghosts of Flight 401
    Oct 19 2022
    Sure, sex is great, but have you ever had the ghost of an airline pilot jump out at you from the overhead bin when you check on your luggage at 30,000 feet, midway to your uber-normie family vacation? It is transcendent. We will not be taking questions.

  • 20. The Winchester Mystery House
    Oct 12 2022
    With great wealth comes great responsibility, and we’re the first people in history to ever mean that. But like, what would you do if your family’s handiwork caused the misery of millions, and led Americans to win the American West, and made you so rich you could drive a brand new Hyundai into the river every single day for the rest of your life? You’d probably become a philanthropist, right? HAHAHAHA us neither. Let’s build a tomb.

  • 19. The Ackley House
    Oct 5 2022
    There’s a beautiful house in quasi-upstate Nyack, New York, where the views are stunning, the men are terrified, and the ghosts are legally protected, thanks to one haunted-heart judge who just loved Ivan Reitman. The Ackley house was the first legally haunted house in the United States, and you can literally hit Sleepy Hollow with a rock thrown from the house’s back porch, so you just know that’s a ruling that tears New York in twain.

  • Bonus Ghostie: Lucy Liu and the Futon F*** Ghost
    Oct 2 2022
    Too short to be a full episode; too fun to pass up. It’s another bonus ghostie! This episode is about Lucy Liu, yes, that Lucy Liu, and it’s also about love, and tenderness, and orgasm, and fortitude, and the New Testament, and proper grammar, and futons, and sleep-play, and internet creep sites, and honestly, you just have to listen, because we don’t know what’s happening here.
