120 The Smurl House
It's another live recording for Is This a Ghost! And with the eyes of the United Kingdom watching our every move, we went super-hard into American ghost history with an all-new story from the diaries of our own personal Washington and Lincoln, Ed and Lorraine Warren. Let's. Get. Excited. This is the story of the Smurl House. Come for the ghosts, stay for: a real red-blooded American ghost; “Lech,” I’m familiar with; this is my one double dog; storing the parents; Xanax for kids; demon business; Daddy’s back program; and the Annaverse.

119. Belcourt Castle
Get in, loser, we're going to Patrick's least favorite state! He's not happy about it, but if you're going to cover some rich peoples' ghosts, you're going to have to get some Rhode Island in there. This is the story of Belcourt Castle. Come for the ghosts, stay for Paw-Paw’s pickles; the esotericist, for sure; no one bothers me down in the gutter; the first space laser; sexiest city in New England; The Birds or The Three Amigos; the chimpanzee is getting ripsh*t; and the only escape is mouth.

118. Kells Irish Pub
Kells Irish Pub. You would think it would be a possessive proper noun, wouldn't you? Kell's? No? Are we the only nerds who listen to this podcast? Screw you guys. Whatever. This is the story of Kells Irish Pub. Come for the ghosts, stay for: the orthodontists of the legal world; delicious toast; you’re not the straight man, right?; Sioux-veneers; fort support; little toesies in this bag; now we have no broth; the City Slickers rule; is that a dark roast?; and smugshot.

117. The Ghosts of Poogan's Porch
Well hush my puppies, we're heading to a South Carolina restaurant for this week's episode of Is This a Ghost? (And yes, there are actual puppies.) This is the story of Poogan's Porch. Come for the ghosts, stay for Patrick’s swimsuit area infection; please send hush puppies; the Let’s Rebuild the South Olympic event; it’s a dry, normal shower; not enough skritches; 450 for eternity?; get this hot, hot blood out of my body.

116. Old Whitey, Great Lakes Ghost of the SS Kamloops
Put on your swim shorts, we're going to the lake! But it's December, and 30 below, so unfortunately, you have just died of frostbite. Womp womp. This is the story of Old Whitey, the Great Lakes Ghost of the SS Kamloops. Come for the ghost, stay for I’m under the apple cart; I love to rock; bird facts; the scariest of the Great Lakes; ransomin; I’m getting lower; we got them off Temu; proper f*cked; and a buxom young woman.
