EPISODE 156: HAUNTED BEACHES &amp; BATLEFIELDS   Summer’s the perfect time to share ghost stories about battlefields and boardwalks. Author T. Fox Dunham enjoyed a surprise trip to Ocean City, New Jersey. Fox stayed next to the ornate Hotel Flanders, and while his wife napped, Fox slipped over to explore the haunted grand halls and corridors of one of the shore’s oldest hotels. In Episode 117: The Ghost of Emily, Fox told the story of the Flander’s resident ghost: a young woman named Emily. He updates the tale and tells author Phil Thomas about the gorgeous rooms of the Flanders and Emily’s portrait that hangs in the den on the second floor. Then British folksinger David Walton narrates a ghost story about the haunted Baladerry Inn in Gettysburg where guests still see soldiers fighting and one naughty spirit flirts with young women with blond hair. Oh! There’s new clown news, and the show closes with a haunting tale called “The Shell Seller” from Peter L. Holmes. Born in the Manchester in the United Kingdom, Peter now resides in Hội An in Vietnam. All opinions of guests and content do not reflect the opinions of T. Fox Dunham, Phil Thomas or Para-X Radio.

156 - HAUNTED BEACHES & BATTLEFIELDS

EPISODE 155: BACK FROM THE DEAD Authors T. Fox Dunham and Phil Thomas have risen from the dead—well not really. The show’s just been on pause for a few months. But as we approach Spring 2021, they return with new ghost stories, horror fiction and witty banter. After chatting, they play a ghost story sent in by UK crime author Fraser Massey. Fraser is one of the authors included in Coming Through in Waves, a charity crime anthology based on the music of Pink Floyd. With his effective gritty style, Fraser tells the story of his visit to the grave of British music producer, Joe Meek. Then, Fox shares some ghost stories from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Guess which president’s spirit has been encountered the most.  And finally, English folksinger David Walton closes the show by narrating Nancy Kilpatrick’s Necromimicos—an eerie fiction set in a Parisian cemetery.

EPISODE 152: THE MORTUARY INTERVIEW To finish off our Halloween 2020 celebration, horror author T. Fox Dunham interviewed writer and director Ryan Spindell, the mad genius who wrote and directed Shudder’s new horror film, The Mortuary Collection.  This anthology movie tells the story of karmic punishment of evil and the nature of the storyteller. The story harks back to the days when horror had a bit of camp but was ultimately fun. After attending film school in Florida, Ryan relocated to California where he established Trapdoor Pictures to produce the ‘fun genre’. He draws his influences from 80’s horror film and authors such as Ray Bradbury, Stephen King and Kurt Vonnegut. He chats with Fox about how horror films have evolved and what makes good horror. Horror is coming home! He also chats about the process of filming The Mortuary Collection and his collaborations with Evil Dead director, Sam Raimi. David Walton narrates a true ghost story that was written and researched by T. Fox Dunham. The Little Girl that Still Plays at Rockford House tells the story of a cursed family that bought land in Lancaster, Pennsylvania after the American Revolution to build a home. Ghosts still roam the house today. And T. Fox Dunham and Phil Thomas talk about their Halloween run of episodes, their favorite Halloween candy and what movies they’re going to enjoy this Halloweekend. The Mortuary Collection is number one on their list. Thanks for the exploding . . . organ, Ryan! Happy Halloween and a Happy Samhain to all.

Dacre Stoker

EPSIODE 150: VAMPIRE LORE WITH DACRE STOKER Dacre Stoker, great grand-nephew of Dracula author Bram Stoker, joins authors T. Fox Dunham and Phil Thomas to talk about those creatures of the night, vampires. An author and scholar of all things vampyr, Stoker has written the only official prequel, Dracul with author J.D. Barker, based on years of research into the files and history of Bram Stoker. Dacre shares his insights into vampire lore and reveals interesting details about the book; for example, Bram Stoker had originally written a different and explosive ending to the book that would have changed how we viewed his celebrated story. British folksinger David Walton narrates an excerpt from Stoker’s prequel, and the hosts are proud to offer a new story from premier horror author, Deborah Drake. The Vampire’s First Rule, narrated by T. Fox Dunham &amp; Cindy Hermann, tells the story of an ancient conflict between two vampires that finally ends in the sacred cave of the Eternal Half-Lighters. Then to finish the show, Dacre shares a true ghost story about his encounter with a bishop’s ghost that haunts the cellars of Marsh’s Library in Dublin, Ireland. We’re celebrating Halloween from home in 2020. To help you get into the Halloween spirit, we’ve brought you mediums, zombies, vampires and soon ghosts and demons.   Follow the show at www.whatareyouafraidofpodcast.com.

150 - VAMPIRE LORE WITH DACRE STOKER

EPISODE 149: ZOMBIE LOVE FOR HALLOWEEN We love zombies! Whether shambling, running, brain-eating or raging, authors T. Fox Dunham &amp; Phil Thomas can’t get enough of the hungry dead, especially during the Halloween season. On episode 149, Fox &amp; Phil chat with Daniel Kraus about writing his new book, The Living Dead. Daniel had the honor of co-writing the book with the late George Romero, who created the zombie franchise with his movie, Night of the Living Dead. He explains how he went to great lengths to write it in Romero’s style and maintain his original theme: Zombies are the sympathetic good guys, a rising underclass, and humans are the villains. David Walton narrates an excerpt from the book. Also on this episode, Phil and Fox discuss zombie lore: the best movies, stories and the most effective method a zombie can use to hunt the living. Finishing the show, David also narrates a short story written by T. Fox Dunham called How my Battlecraft Guild Survived the Zombie Apocalypse. Fox got the idea while raiding on World of Warcraft, realizing that the teamwork required to defeat a raid boss would help any team survive a real invasion by the living dead. We’re counting down to Halloween 2020, so come and get some zombie love!

Lisa Morton

EPISODE 148SEANCES WITH LISA MORTON Award-winning author Lisa Morton joins T. Fox Dunham &amp; Phil Thomas to talk about her new book, Calling the Spirits: A History of Séances. Through human history, people have sought to communicate with departed souls, and the evolution of that process has taken many forms. Finally in the mid-nineteenth century, the idea of the Séance developed. Supported by fringe science and the need to speak to dead loved ones, mediums became all the rage, especially during the shock of post-war periods. But were these mediums channeling the dead or just putting on a good show? Lisa shares her insights and answers the question why do we need séances? And she tells Phil and Fox a true ghost story that happened to her while she was part of a paranormal investigation at the infamous Stanley Hotel, the setting of Stephen King’s book, The Shining.

147 - FOX & PHIL SAVE HALLOWEEN

A show that explores horror &amp; paranormal topics, interviewing indie authors, artists, musicians &amp; ghost hunters. We provide new music, ghost stories, new fiction, music, poetry and comedy.

This podcast is 80% ads and 20% “content.” The audio is terrible and the content is hokey, dry, and not at all suspenseful. Overall this podcast is very unprofessional.

Disappointed

The show is well done and well produced. I cat wait to hear more.

It's a great show!

 EPISODE 105: CHRISTMAS HAS A DARKSIDE  WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? HORROR &amp; PARANORMAL SHOW   Christmas has a dark side. During the holidays in the days before television, people gathered to share food, drink, and a glowing fire, and to entertain themselves by competing through storytelling. Ghost stories won the night. Consider this. When winter came, food ran low, the cold threatened and disease killed many, often taking your loved ones. You missed them at Christmas, so the holidays used to be a mournful time. Eerie tales were popular, and if Halloween was the start of ghost story season then it peaked at Christmas. So what a perfect time for a new episode of What Are You Afraid Of? To celebrate mid-winter, horror authors T. Fox Dunham &amp; Phil Thomas celebrate tales of monsters and the supernatural. Fox has researched several Philadelphia haunted houses and has written an account of a notoriously spooky mansion in Chestnut Hill: The Baleroy Mansion. English folksinger David Walton narrates part one of these stories about the myriad spirits who inhabit this beautiful home including a ghost boy who appears to workers and a mother who refuses to stop giving advice even from the afterlife. Then, the hosts talk about the many horror movies set during Christmas including the classic story of holiday mayhem, Gremlins! Little green monsters torment a small American town, and they burn most of it down on Christmas Eve. This movie is considered a Christmas classic, watched by many. They pay homage by discussing the history and trivia of Gremlins. Remember the three rules? The hosts also play some funny holiday songs including the ballad of a frustrated neighbor forced to look at a hideous blow-up Santa. Then, Fox shares some of the rich history of the mid-winter holidays from the ancient holiday of Yule to the evolution of Christmas in the United States. So, we wish you happy holidays and remind you to indulge this dark and cold season. Christmas has a dark side—or the lights wouldn’t be so bright.

EPISODE 131 HALLOWEEN AT THE BEACH ON LOCATION T. Fox Dunham &amp; Phil Thomas stayed in the beach-resort town of spooky Cape May, New Jersey and recorded live the What Are You Afraid Of? Horror &amp; Paranormal Halloween Special 2019 from the haunted Marquis De Lafayette Hotel. Cape May is one of the most haunted towns in the world, and the horror authors bring you two hours of local ghost stories they collected in town. Fox arrived early and spent two days listening to ghost stories from the locals—stories such as the faceless ghost and shadow man of Congress Hall, the gray lady of Washington Street Mall and the spirit children who still run in the halls of the Marquis De Lafayette Hotel—and Phil and Fox hardly scratched the surface of the haunted history of this two century old Victorian town. Cape May was a wonderful place to visit during October, and the seaside town celebrates Halloween with stage shows, events for children and ghost story tours. Fox &amp; Phil record the show from the haunted Marquis De Lafayette Hotel, where many of the town residents came to watch and share their paranormal experiences. Fox plays the ghost story from his visit to General Lee’s battlefield in Gettysburg, narrated by English folksinger David Walton, and Phil’s charming horror story, The Pumpkin Carvers. Plus some creepy music to set the mood. It’s been a compelling end to our fourth season of What Are You Afraid Of? Horror &amp; Paranormal Show, and we celebrated Halloween this year in style with two hours of local ghost stories in haunted Cape May, New Jersey.

EPISODE 131 HALLOWEEN AT THE BEACH ON LOCATION T. Fox Dunham &amp; Phil Thomas stayed in the beach-resort town of spooky Cape May, New Jersey and recorded live the What Are You Afraid Of? Horror &amp; Paranormal Halloween Special 2019 from the haunted <a href="http://marquiscapemay.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Marquis De Lafayette Hotel</a>. Cape May is one of the most haunted towns in the world, and the horror authors bring you two hours of local ghost stories they collected in town. Fox arrived early and spent two days listening to ghost stories from the locals—stories such as the faceless ghost and shadow man of Congress Hall, the gray lady of Washington Street Mall and the spirit children who still run in the halls of the Marquis De Lafayette Hotel—and Phil and Fox hardly scratched the surface of the haunted history of this two century old Victorian town. Cape May was a wonderful place to visit during October, and the seaside town celebrates Halloween with stage shows, events for children and ghost story tours. Fox &amp; Phil record the show from the haunted <a href="http://marquiscapemay.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Marquis De Lafayette Hotel</a>, where many of the town residents came to watch and share their paranormal experiences. Fox plays the ghost story from his visit to General Lee’s battlefield in Gettysburg, narrated by English folksinger David Walton, and Phil’s charming horror story, The Pumpkin Carvers. Plus some creepy music to set the mood. It’s been a compelling end to our fourth season of What Are You Afraid Of? Horror &amp; Paranormal Show, and we celebrated Halloween this year in style with two hours of local ghost stories in haunted Cape May, New Jersey.

EPISODE 120: THE DEAD STILL PARTY IN NEW ORLEANS T. Fox Dunham returns from New Orleans with new ghost stories and interviews! New Orleans is the ghost city of the south, a city rich with culture and characters. In addition to the delicious cuisine, history, culture and architecture, the Big Easy is also one of the most haunted places in the world. Over the next several episodes, author T. Fox Dunham will be sharing stories of the living and the dead encountered on his trip—stories of voodoo, torture, lost souls, haunted musicians and mystical monsters. T. Fox Dunham and Phil Thomas begin episode 120 talking about the trip, then Fox shares a story about the oldest cemetery in New Orleans, St. Louis Cemetery One, known for its iconic tombs. Because the city was built on land below sea level, they can’t bury their dead, so they’ve built cities of mausoleums, necropolises where spirits still roam, drawn out by the music of the French Quarter. Then he tells Phil all about the various monsters that terrorize the bayou including the tale of the bright white Rougarou—a were-beast that punishes Catholics who violate their Lent vows. The hosts share some music from local performers including a special song sung about Fox to his wife Allison, which she dreaded! Video on the website. And they play jazz from the band Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith. Excited yet? Well, this is just the beginning of our summer episodes featuring the city. The hosts will be sharing more stories about one of the most haunted cities in the world: the beautiful and arduous city of New Orleans.

118 - MONSTERS OF SUMMER

EPISODE 113: FOLK DEVILS &amp; MORAL PANIC   On episode 113 of What Are You Afraid Of? Horror &amp; Paranormal Show, authors T. Fox Dunham &amp; Phil Thomas discuss an old concept in folk culture called moral panic. The most recent manifestation is the Momo Challenge. Momo is a horrific bird statue that first appeared in Japan, and according to the new urban legend, she assaults children and advises them to commit acts of self-harm. Momo is the most recent folk devil—the central antagonist causing moral panic—but the phenomenon goes back to the Salem Witch Trials, even further. In particular, Fox and Phil have kept their audience updated on evil clown sightings, and they discuss other relevant trends such as the satanic panic of the 1980s, the spurious demonic nature of Dungeons &amp; Dragons and other events in hysterical society. Fox also plays the last part in his paranormal trilogy about Philadelphia’s most notorious haunted house, The Baleroy Mansion. The final chapter tells of dark heart of the house: the blue room and the curse of an antique chair. Anyone who sits in this chair soon dies, joining the choir of agitated souls who still roam the mansion. Then the hosts finish the show talking about A Time for Violence—a new noir and horror anthology soon released by Close to the Bone with stories from T. Fox Dunham, Chris Roy, Joe R. Lansdale, Richard Chizmar, Tony Knighton, Isobel Blackthorn, John A. Russo and many more out on May 1st. Preorder on Amazon today! The band Titus 12 closes with their song from Pick Up Natty Red: A Ghost Story.

EPISODE 134: I MOVED ON TOP OF A FREAKING NATIVE BURIAL GROUND IN LANCASTER Phil and Fox are back for their 5th season in 2020! Author T. Fox Dunham has moved to Lancaster, PA—a beautiful area of Pennsylvania known for its bucolic setting, Amish community and a shadow world of ghosts, devils and monsters. For the show’s return in 2020, Fox researched the city for local ghost stories and discovered the unnerving history of his apartment’s location. In the late 1600s, the Paxton clan massacred the remaining members of the Conestoga Tribe, and the city buried their remains in mass grave located at Chestnut and Cherry Street, which has lead to many ghost stories in places like the Duke Street Parking Lot and the Fulton Theater. And of course, it’s where Fox and his wife live! Already, they’ve spotted specters in the basement. On episode 134, T. Fox Dunham and Phil Thomas share just a few of the local ghost stories in Lancaster and talk about some of the monsters seen in the wilderness. English folksinger David Walton narrates a true ghost story from amazing author, Nancy Kilpatrick. Did her mother-in-law use a doll to send a message from the next world? And they play an excerpt from John Foster’s eerie new novel set in New England from Gray Matter Press: The Isle. It’s going to be a great year of ghost stories and horror!

Katrina Weidman

EPISODE 109: KATRINA WEIDMAN Katrina Weidman, co-host of Destination America’s Paranormal Lockdown, returns to hang out with horror author T. Fox Dunham on episode 109 of What Are You Afraid Of? Horror &amp; Paranormal Show. Katrina is a good friend to the show, and she returns to talk about season 3 of Paranormal Lockdown. Kat shares insights about her investigations and tells the creepy tale of several paranormal encounters she had while filming at some of England’s most haunted sites including the Beattie Mansion, Shepton Mallet Prison, Cambria Jail and the Drakelow tunnels. Included in her stories is the tale of phantom knocking, shadow figures, a frightening spirit she calls “The Creeper” and the story of a condemned woman named Cassandra who was terrified of death. The season finale of Paranormal Lockdown airs this Tuesday, February 5th on Destination America. Also, because it’s Fox’s birthday on Saturday Feb 2nd, he reads an excerpt from his novel, Destroying the Tangible Illusion of Reality or Searching for Andy Kaufman, his book about life, freedom from fear, cancer, the real America and the road-trip of three strange friends as they seek out the legendary song-and-dance man, Andy Kaufman, published by Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing. Is Death the Inevitable? In the third grade, a teacher told Kat she would never amount to anything. Ha! She’s from the Bucks County area, and her life changed when she dropped off a friend at Pennsylvania State University. She then transferred to Penn State and joined the world-renowned Paranormal Research Society, training and working as their case manager. She co-hosted A&amp;E’s hit docu-drama “Paranormal State” from 2007 to 2011, which chronicled the work of the PRS. Kat then became the host for Chiller’s “Real Fear: The Truth Behind the Movies,” which explores the real life terror behind some of the world’s most iconic horror films and hosted the follow-up special, “Real Fear: The Truth Behind More Movies.” Now she co-hosts the show Paranormal Lockdown which is playing its third season for Destination America. It’s a show that follows her and Nick Groff as they live in some notoriously haunted sites for 72 hours. Kat continues to pursue projects in music as a singer, and she writes about haunted kitchens and recipes in her blog, Haunted Kitchens.
