Paratopia Episode 43: Ghost Hunting Roadshow

Nobody does a road trip like we do and tonight’s will haunt you. Jeff & Jer are joined by Lisa and Cody Ritzmann, Lisa Andrews (aka “Violet Rage”), and Jason Moorhouse for an all-night adventure in America’s most haunted land, Gettysburg, PA. First, the crew take to the Civil War battle fields for a history lesson and some EVP work. Then they set up ghost busting shop in Mark Nesbitt’s estate and settle in for a night of… terror? Laughs? Nothing? You will find out!

Finally, right before Jer gets on a bus and heads home, the unthinkable happens. (Apparently, some other paranormal fellas felt left out!)

Here it is, kids–our first ever Paratopia ghost hunt!

Jeff and Jeremy want to pay special thanks to Mark and Carol Nesbitt for their gracious hospitality and trust in allowing us to investigate their Gettysburg house.

Want a good time in Gettysburg? Go visit mark and Carol at the Ghosts of Gettysburg walking candlelight tours, and book your tours early in the day - they regularly sell out! Be sure while you’re there to pick up any one or all of Mark’s book series on the Ghosts of Gettysburg which chronicles history and sightings of ghost phenomena all around town.

Laine Crosby is an Investigative Medium, who works on missing person cases, and with authors, historians, archaeologists and paranormal investigators to help understand what history has not revealed. Until a few years ago, she worked in corporate America, juggling the work and mother dichotomy, when literally, she woke up one morning talking to dead people- and they talked back! Since then, she says her abilities have grown and she has given up the corporate world to answer to her conscience. Her first book will be finished this year, and available in 2009.

Laine earned an M.B.A. in marketing from Georgia State University, a B.A. in economics from Agnes Scott College, and certificates from Georgia Institute of Technology (ecommerce), the University of London (international law) and the University of Tours (international finance).

Laine works closely with our past guest and close friend of the show Mr. Mark Nesbitt of Ghosts of Gettysburg fame and they own and operate together the Ghost Channel, seen at (www.ghostchannel.tv), and the duo also host the popular Internet talk show, Ghost Talkers, available as a download on the Ghost Channel, and web cast at www.ghosttalkers.net.

Paratopia Episode 28: The Georgia Guidestones

Dubbed by Wired Magazine as “The strangest monument in America,” The Georgia Guidestones have remained a mystery since their construction in 1980. Tonight, Jeff & Jeremy ponder their meaning with Charles Reed, an architect who was given the original plans for its construction in 1980 by the banker who funded it–a complete stranger to Charles. Why would a stranger give him something so secret? Was it because the whole affair was a well-funded tourist trap? Could it have to do with Charles being an experiencer?

Charles is joined by his daughter Melissa Reed, the fantastic artist some of you may know as Culture of Contact’s art show curator.

But that’s only the first hour.

In the second hour-plus, we discuss not just the Guidestones but the so-called alien enigma with its fear and confusion and hints of spirituality, and expose these topics to the deep, rich discussion they deserve. If you’ve been waiting for the chat that will sock you in the gut, this one is not to be missed!
