In this episode, we open the case file on modern ghost hunting and break down the tools and theories behind paranormal investigation.

We start with EMF meters—devices used to detect unusual spikes in electromagnetic fields that some investigators believe can signal a spirit’s presence. From there, we turn to thermal imaging cameras, which reveal hot and cold spots, strange silhouettes, and temperature anomalies the naked eye would never catch.

Next, we step into the world of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), where investigators capture unexplained voices and sounds on digital recorders—often heard only on playback. We also explore the Estes Method, a sensory deprivation technique that combines spirit boxes, noise isolation, and blindfolds in an attempt to create a more direct channel for potential spirit communication.

Along the way, we break down the major types of hauntings you’ll hear about in paranormal circles:

• Residual hauntings, like energetic echoes replaying the same scene over and over.

• Intelligent hauntings, where entities seem to respond, interact, and communicate.

• Poltergeist activity, focused on movement, chaos, and physical disturbances.

• Demonic hauntings, the darkest and most feared, said to involve malevolent non-human entities.

Are these tools really detecting the dead—or just revealing the limits of our perception? Join us as we examine the tech, the theories, and the different kinds of hauntings investigators claim to encounter, and decide for yourself what might be waiting on the other side.

On the second episode of No Such Thing As Ghosts, we discuss the Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Waverly has been called one of the most haunted places in America, but how much of that reputation is real, and how much is just good storytelling?

In this episode, we dive into the dark and fascinating history of Waverly Hills, from its early days as a tuberculosis hospital to the chilling legends that emerged after its doors closed. We’ll walk through the infamous “body chute,” talk about reported apparitions like the mysterious Room 502, and explore why this abandoned building still captures the imagination of ghost hunters and skeptics alike.

There's so much to cover on this topic that we barely scratch the surface, so we'll definitely do more on Waverly Hills in the future. Stay tuned.

Andy tells Greg the story of the chilling and mysterious phenomenon of Black Eyed Kids (BEKs), and Greg hates it. These eerie entities are often described as children with pure black eyes who approach unsuspecting individuals with an unsettling presence.
