What Real Paranormal Investigation Actually Looks Like w/ Steve Gonsalves | Ghost City Podcast

Ghost stories are easy to binge. Living with the subject matter for decades is something else entirely. We sit down with Steve Gonsalves from Ghost Hunters to talk about what paranormal investigation looks like when the cameras are off: the sleepless nights, the intrusive memories, and the emotional weight that can hit you days later when a case finally sinks in.

We also get nerdy about the parts of the field that are changing fast. Steve shares how conversations with physicists and geophysicists have shaped his thinking on residual hauntings, frequency, energy, and vibration, plus why serious consciousness research is making the “impossible” feel less dismissible than it used to. From debunking common misreads like orbs to questioning shadow phenomena, the goal is the same: filter noise, keep your standards high, and stay honest about what you do not know.

Then we step right into the AI problem. Deepfakes and synthetic media can poison paranormal evidence overnight, but AI can also be a powerful tool for evidence filtration, pattern recognition, and analyzing huge datasets like environmental readings and time-based activity. We talk gear myths, why many people misunderstand EMF meters, and a wild EVP experiment involving a vacuum sealed box that raises bigger questions about how electronic voice phenomena might work.

If you’re into paranormal investigation, Ghost Hunters, EVPs, haunted houses, or the science behind the unexplained, you’ll walk away with new frameworks and a few new questions to argue about.

Bigfoot Without the Hype: Footprints, DNA, and Real Research | Ghost City Podcast

Bigfoot Without the Hype: Footprints, DNA, and Real Research | Ghost City Podcast

In Part 1 of this two-part episode of the Ghost City Podcast, Tim Nealon sits down with Cliff Barackman, curator of the North American Bigfoot Center ( https://northamericanbigfootcenter.com/ ), to approach Sasquatch the way scientists approach any undiscovered species, through evidence, patterns, and repeatable data. Cliff explains why footprints matter more than fleeting sightings and how detailed trackway analysis can reveal behavior like foraging habits, seasonal movement, social grouping, and territory. The long-term patterns he’s documenting, recurring track sizes, repeated visits to the same micro-sites, and consistent seasonal windows, challenge popular Bigfoot migration myths and point instead toward stable home-range behavior.

The conversation moves from the forest floor to the lab, where an interdisciplinary team at North Carolina State University is testing environmental DNA (eDNA) from soil collected inside and outside suspected footprints. While early results don’t “prove Bigfoot,” they do establish a critical, auditable framework, one that allows future genetic discoveries to be cross-checked against archived samples. Along the way, Cliff tackles the cultural baggage surrounding Bigfoot research, separating evidence-based inquiry from paranormal hype, and explains how careful documentation, historical archives, and even limited uses of AI can support serious fieldwork without distorting the data. If you’re interested in Bigfoot research rooted in biology, method, and patience, not myth, this episode lays the groundwork.

Ghost Hunting with Heart w/ Nick & Tessa Groff | Ghost City Podcast

Ghost Hunting with Heart w/ Nick & Tessa Groff | Ghost City Podcast

On this week’s episode of Ghost City: The Podcast, we sit down with Nick Groff and Tessa Groff for an in-depth conversation about paranormal investigation, EVP research, and the evolution of modern ghost hunting.

Nick shares his origin story as one of the early pioneers of paranormal television through his work on Ghost Adventures, and how that foundation shaped his approach to evidence-based spirit communication and documentary filmmaking today. Tessa, a lifelong medium and intuitive, discusses her near-death experience, psychic development, and how her abilities complement controlled investigations—blending technology, empathy, and testimony in real time.

When Nick and Tessa Groff walk into a room, the line between intuition and evidence gets razor thin...

In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, we explore how a veteran paranormal investigator and a lifelong medium built a partnership where technology and testimony collide in real time. From Nick’s early fascination with Area 51 and filmmaking to Tessa’s near-death experience and psychic abilities she once tried to suppress, their paths converge on a shared philosophy: treat every spirit like a person first. The result is ghost hunting that blends EVP sessions, controlled experimentation, and intuitive insight: cross-checked, replayable, and rooted in respect.

We dig into cases that still echo, including an EVP declaring “Mark is dead” inside a historic theater and a deeply personal reading delivered to a mayor about his late father’s reclaimed accent. The conversation moves beyond spectacle into bigger questions about energy, consciousness, boundaries, and why vulnerability can invite contact. Nick and Tessa also preview their upcoming documentary, The Devil’s Mark, which follows a trauma-aware investigation into attachment and possession without leaning on religious tropes. If you’re interested in paranormal investigation that balances heart, skepticism, and evidence, this episode offers a rare look at what happens when experience, empathy, and equipment all point to the same moment.

Why She Refuses to Fake Paranormal Evidence | Ghost City Podcast

Why She Refuses to Fake Paranormal Evidence | Ghost City Podcast

A scratch appears through two untouched shirts. A prison hallway delivers a crystal-clear insult. A toddler points to an empty corner and calmly says, “ghost.” In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, investigator and creator Katrina Weidman joins us for a candid look at modern paranormal research: where skepticism and curiosity sit side by side. From a haunted childhood to leading a school investigation club and becoming an early face of paranormal television, Katrina shares how the industry evolved, and how the pressure for bigger reactions can sometimes overshadow honest investigation.

We dive into the ethics of ghost hunting, staged evidence, and the responsibility investigators carry when grief, history, and belief intersect. Katrina discusses her series Voices from the Grave, along with her YouTube projects Travel the Dead and After the Dead, all focused on transparent fieldwork and haunted history rather than theatrics. Along the way, we explore EMF theories, environmental psychology, archival research, and why the most compelling evidence often comes from patient documentation: not viral clips. If you care about paranormal investigation rooted in integrity, preservation, and real stories, this conversation goes deeper than night vision and jump scares.

The All-Women Team Changing Ghost Hunting | Ghost City Podcast

The All-Women Team Changing Ghost Hunting | Ghost City Podcast

A woman in white standing over a crib. Handprints forming beneath glass. A skeptic husband watching his chair spin while he barely looks up. In this episode of the Ghost City Podcast, investigator Angela Kaatz, founder of the all-female team Ghost Hunting Beauties, shares how a lifetime of strange encounters pushed her toward paranormal investigation rather than away from it. Angela explains how her team blends cinematic storytelling with careful fieldwork, focusing on heavy historical research, on-site debunking with property owners, and investigative tools like the Estes Method to reduce suggestion and capture clearer responses.

We also talk openly about the challenges women face in the male-dominated world of paranormal media and how Angela is helping shift that narrative through leadership and transparency. From shadow figures spotted by a watchful dog to investigations across haunted cities like New Orleans and San Antonio, Angela discusses the cultural layers, languages, and spiritual traditions that shape each location. She also shares the personal realities of mediumship, the boundaries required to stay grounded, and the ongoing debate around haunted objects and credible evidence in an era of AI manipulation. If you care about thoughtful ghost hunting, haunted history, and the next generation of investigators pushing the field forward, this conversation pulls back the curtain.

Most Ghost Stories Get the History Wrong | Ghost City Podcast

Most Ghost Stories Get the History Wrong | Ghost City Podcast

Ghost stories are easy to sell. The truth is harder and a lot more interesting.

We’re joined by Troy Taylor, prolific author of nearly 160 books and founder of American Hauntings, to break down what happens when you stop chasing viral legends and start chasing sources.

This conversation gets into why history is the only real foundation for haunted locations, how bad ghost tour folklore spreads like a game of telephone, and why cities like New Orleans often preserve the loudest version of a story instead of the documented one.

We dig into what the records actually suggest about figures like Delphine LaLaurie and Marie Laveau, and why “tourist-friendly” does not have to mean “made up.”

From Alton, Illinois and its Underground Railroad history to prisons, epidemics, and river-town tragedies, Troy explains how real events create the conditions for hauntings without inventing demons on demand.

We also unpack paranormal investigation. Why “using science to prove ghosts” misunderstands what science is, how TV ghost hunting shifted the focus to gadgets instead of context, and why patterns across independent witnesses can be more compelling than any device.

We wrap with Troy’s American Oddities Museum, preserving artifacts tied to real stories, plus a detour into Bigfoot, why cryptid culture went off track, and how AI will make future “evidence” harder to trust.

If you care about haunted history, ghost tours, true crime, and responsible paranormal storytelling, this episode is your roadmap.

Why Gettysburg Still Feels Haunted Today w/ Andy Andrews | Ghost City Podcast

Why Gettysburg Still Feels Haunted Today w/ Andy Andrews | Ghost City Podcast

Something about Gettysburg keeps pulling people back. Maybe it is the history, maybe it is the grief still embedded in the landscape, or maybe it is the feeling that the past is not fully past when you stand where thousands died. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation on the Ghost City Podcast, Tim sits down with Ghost City Tours Gettysburg manager Andy Andrews to explore the experiences that convinced him the paranormal is real. From a childhood spent near battlefields to early ghost hunts with cassette recorders and raw EVP sessions, Andy explains why direct voice responses can feel far more convincing than photos in an era where AI makes visual evidence harder to trust.
