About this listen

Please note: this series contains mature content and listener discretion is advised.

The first ghost Jason King ever saw was his brother's. And when the spectre told Jason that he needed to find their estranged father, who disappeared during their childhood, his life was changed forever.

When documentarian Ben Lawrence reads an article about Jason, now a western Sydney security guard and part-time ghost hunter, he embarks on a seven year journey into a gothic world of suburban graveyards and broken souls.

Paranormal activity, a family's terrible forgotten secret and a police investigation converge in Ghosthunter, a part family memoir and part true crime podcast. Years of self-reflection and estranged characters from the past bring Jason and Ben to a confronting conclusion - that sometimes the most terrifying ghosts are the ones we find within ourselves.

It doesn't have much to do about ghosts, but the story told might just be more interesting than Ghost hunting. Had to listen till i finished the story.

Eye opening!!!

The only ghosts are the ghosts of his past.

narrator/writer was easy to listen too, not enough ghosts...but worth a listen and a moment to be thankful for all we have - and all we have been spared from.

confronting yet uplifting

It's all about Jason and his life. He is a Ghost Hunter. But it is more about what happens to Jason and what happens in his children hood that he can't remember. This was a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. Great Podcast. 5 stars

Jason meets his brother he never knew he had & after he dies sees his spirits & from there starts hunting ghosts. But also needing to know more about why he didn't know he had a had brother till he was in his late teens. Also wanting to know how did he get the scare on his face & why can he remember most of his childhood. This takes place over several years with what started with an article in the paper, Ben befriending Jason, accompanying him on some of his ghost hunts, while helping to work out what happen to Jason when he was young & who Jason really is today. Starts in one place & ends somewhere completely different. I found this a really interesting listen & binged it all in one day. If you're put off by the 'ghost hunting' aspect, this is a small part of the story & small part of Jason, this is more the foundation or backdrop of what sets of a journey of discovery.

Ghosts come in many forms
