Saucer Full of Secrets - Castle of Spirits UFO Special (Part 2)

What if there's more to the UFO phenomenon than little green men? What if humanity has yet to grasp what it really means? In this episode, we peel back the familiar alien narrative to uncover stranger possibilities—psychological twists, folkloric echoes, and theories that feel more like riddles than answers. Along the way, we tell the story of the extraordinary national UFO wave of 1896–1897, when reports of mysterious airships made headlines from coast to coast and left the nation buzzing ab...

Beam Me Up! - Castle of Spirits UFO Special (Part 1)

Cemeteries may be prime real estate for ghosts, but as Ghostkeeper Vince found out, they’re also great for sighting UFOs. During an early morning walk with Freya the Castle hellhound, Vince filmed something unidentified moving across the sky—no, not a frisbee, not a drone, and definitely not a runaway lawn flamingo. We roll the tape, hear Vince’s story, and kick around possibilities both ordinary and otherworldly. We also dust off the legendary Travis Walton abduction case and share a jaw‑dr...

Pandemonium in the Gallery - Castle of Spirits True Ghost Stories

But after Vince offered a heartfelt apology to the spirit world, this second attempt at the episode finally made it online—for the time being, anyway. So we pick up where we left off: haunted art. Cursed paintings and sculptures, plus songs and poems so unlucky they’ve literally ended lives. And to top it off, we share two true listener accounts of painting...

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) - Castle of Spirits True Ghost Stories

In this special episode, we honor the vibrant history and evolving symbolism of Día de los Muertos—the Day of the Dead—tracing its roots from Aztec rituals to Chicano street art, and exploring how it bridges cultures across Mexico and the U.S. Far from being a “Mexican Halloween,” Día de los Muertos is a vibrant celebration of life, ancestry, and memory, rooted in Indigenous belief and Catholic ritual. We explore how its iconic imagery—from marigold-covered altars to painted skulls—evolved ov...
