Unspookable

What comes to mind when you hear the term "ghost story"? For many Americans, if you don't think of the haunting of the Bell family of Tennessee, you're surely thinking of one of the dozens of stories inspired by this tale. What is it about this chilling legend that still has us talking over 200 years later? Join us as we delve into The Bell Witch, one of America's most iconic ghost stories, on this special crossover episode of Southern Gothic and Unspookable.

We likely don't have to tell you that Minecraft is a global phenomenon, but that doesn't mean that it's all fun and games. Many listeners of the show have written in to see if we could comment on the spookier side of everyone's favorite blocky sandbox game. So, we're doing just that as we discuss both the popularity of Minecraft and the mysterious figure of Herobrine on this episode of Unspookable.

Washington Irving's 1820 tale of a headless horseman who terrorizes the village of Sleepy Hollow is widely considered to be one of the first American ghost stories and, we'd argue, still one of the scariest. Why has this tale and this figure endured for over 200 years inspiring films, cartoons, games, and even entire podcasts? We talk this week with David Kreizman, the CCO of Gen-Z Media and Co-Creator and Writer of their hit show The Hollow to find out. That and more on this episode of Unspookable. The Hollow is available now wherever you get your podcasts.  And you may want to catch up on the GZM series Nightingale as this month the show returns with the all new Nightingale Halloween, a five episode series where we head back to the mysterious land of Nightingale.  You can find out more about The Hollow, Nightingale, Mina & Lucy’s Guide to Slaying Dracula, and all of the great GZM shows at https://gzmshows.com/shows Unspookable Host: Elise Parisian Written, Produced, Edited by: Nate DuFort Music Direction and Composition: Jesse Case Logo by: Natalie Khuen Episode Artwork: Ichabod Crane, by William J.

Many of us have heard of the Lady in White or the White Lady, a ghostly woman in misty white, feeling despair, or anger. Why is this imagery so common, not just in North America, but around the world? Is she someone to be afraid of? Someone who needs help? Who is this woman? We’ll be talking about the White Lady, who she haunts, and why, on this episode of Unspookable.
