  • 100. Two Haunts and a Flaunt (Centennial Edition!)
    Apr 24 2024

    It is somehow our 100th episode! *noisemaker sound* Who knew there were so many ghosts in the world? To celebrate our centennial, Clayton has a surprise for Patrick -- he's turning the tables with his own version of Two Haunts and a Flaunt! But this time, there's a twist. The three stories are all revisitations of stories we've already shared. That's right...new ghosts from old haunts!

    Then, after the stories, unpaid intern Jen Swanson joins the guys for a bit of trivia, a dash of Would You Rather?, and a touch of personal reflection from the last 100 episodes.

    This is the 100th episode of Is This a Ghost? Come for the ghosts, stay for the scream of a child (as it were), tobaccopreneurship, a little leg bed, the coriander did it, 10 cc’s of soy sauce please, infants can stack, why is my brain flapping?, Kool-Aid and Takis and all the thwocking and the copping.

  • 99. The Hatchet Lady of Red Rocks
    Apr 17 2024

    Do you love good music, chill vibes, natural beauty, and an axe-wielding elderly ghost? Then Red Rocks might be the venue for you.

    This is the story of The Hatchet Lady of Red Rocks. Come for the ghost, stay for a nice little preview of the heat death of the universe, never forget (your birthday), this Tom Cruise-ass life, the Phish residency, behavior plus axe, and my hatchet kink.

  • 98. The Haunted Train Station in Staunton, Virginia
    Apr 10 2024

    Toot-toot! It's another haunted train story, and you're going to love it! Unless you're like, "No more trains." Then we may have lost you with this one, and in that case, that's on us.

    This is the story of the haunted train station in Staunton, VA. Come for the ghost, stay for the severed mannequin head aesthetic, a heart-shaped jacuzzi tub of a state, "Why you strap flashlight to fork with Mungo?", old fashioned knob whackin', the Malort of soda, Lady Thirst Trap, ships of the land, get mounted in Virginia, and a Jason Statham movie of an experience.
