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.

This is an Audible Original Podcast. Free for members. You can download all 5 episodes to your Library now.

Truth is stranger than fiction

A terrible and enthralling true life story that starts off in one direction and takes you to places you never expected.

The only ghosts are the ghosts of his past.

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!!!

confronting yet uplifting

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.

Great Podcast

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

Loving it. Although episode 4 missing. Not sure if it is because of content and censorship?

Engaging but sad

Not at all what I thought it would be, but still engaging. At times it felt like we were eavesdropping so quite uncomfortable. but in the end Ben has respectfully told Jason story warts-and-all .
