    Sep 24 2025

    Zoinks, gang! We’ve got a bonus episode—and it’s a big one. Shane is joined by Amy Bruni, ghost hunter, author, and host of Haunted Road. You’ve seen her on Ghost Hunters and Kindred Spirits, but tonight, she’s right here in the Mystery Machine with us (okay, metaphorically).

    Amy and Shane swap ghost stories that sound straight out of a Scooby-Doo adventure:

    👻 A window ghost nicknamed “Mr. Green Jeans.”

    📸 A skeptic who mocked the spirits—until a picture frame floated.

    💡 The surprising rules that keep ghost hunting ethical and real.

    And here’s the best clue of all: you can catch Amy live on stage this fall!

    📅 October 7 at 7 PM — Eagles Theatre, Wabash, Indiana.

    If you can’t make it to Indiana, don’t panic! Amy’s haunting theaters across the U.S. Check her tour schedule.

  • 135: Blucifer, Bunkers & the Ghosts of Denver International
    Aug 19 2025

    Zoinks! This week, the gang boards a one-way flight straight into one of America’s weirdest, wildest airports — and we’re not talking about lost luggage. Denver International Airport isn’t just big… it’s mysteriously big. From glowing-eyed demon horses to underground tunnels that “don’t exist,” we’re pulling back the curtain on the secrets, curses, and conspiracy theories lurking beneath those runways.

    We’ll follow the trail through:

    🐎 Blucifer — the 32-foot blue mustang with a deadly past

    🛫 The Murals — are they just art, or coded warnings of the apocalypse?

    🛠 The Baggage System From Hell — billion-dollar tech fail, or cover story for something deeper?

    🔺 Masonic Markers — strange symbols tied to an organization that no one can find

    Plus, Kim shares chilling eyewitness accounts from travelers who’ve felt the cold shiver of something watching them at DEN.

    And stick around for “Ruh-Roh News,” where bizarre headlines make you question humanity almost as much as conspiracy theorists make you question airport design.

    Buckle up, mystery lovers. This is one layover you’ll never forget.
