What if the ghost stories we tell reveal more about the living than the dead? Ghost City Tours founder Tim Nealon sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Tucker, renowned folklorist and professor at Binghamton University, to explore how legends are born, why they spread, and what they tell us about human psychology. From Bloody Mary rituals to Native American creation stories, Dr. Tucker unpacks the patterns behind our most persistent supernatural narratives—and reveals why folklore isn't dying, it's just evolving.

ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Elizabeth Tucker (Libby) is a folklorist, English professor at Binghamton University, and author specializing in contemporary legends, campus folklore, and supernatural narratives.
