Since 2002, The Ghostly Talk Paranormal Talk Show has set the bar on providing an independent, open, and entertaining platform for the hosts and guests to discuss their research, ideas, theories, and conclusions in the study of the paranormal.
Broadcasting from their self-built studio at “The Haunted Winery” in Warren, MI., Doug, Scott L., and Bonnie delve into the world of the paranormal every week with a variety of guests and topics.
Ghostly Talk is currently broadcast live on Sunday nights from 6:00pm to 9:00pm ET. The show can be listened to live from the Ghostly Talk Website during regularly scheduled broadcasts and also through a number of affiliates who support the show in all formats. Archives of shows are always available at the Ghostly Talk Website for free and also in podcast format at http://www.ghostlytalk.com/gt.rss.
Started as a 13 show project between two paranormal enthusiasts Doug & Scott L from “The Haunted Basement Studio” in Frasier, MI, the show was originally created on the internet as a platform for the hosts to discuss their research into the paranormal and ghost hunting namely. Their first broadcast went out to a total of one listener. That changed quickly though as word spread. Soon the response was so positive from people all over the country that at the end of the original 13 planned shows in mid-2002 Doug & Scott L. decided to keep the project going. They had no idea what they were in for.... Doug has been interested in paranormal topics ever since checking out a book about witchcraft from his elementary school library. His favorite paranormal topics include out of body experiences, Edgar Cayce, ESP, prophesy, and ghosts. While surfing the internet in 2001, he was happy to learn that other folks actually went prowling about cemeteries and haunted places looking for evidence of ghosts. Since then, he has been an avid ghost hunter. Doug had done terrestrial radio before at WTWR, the station at the University of Detroit. He received his Bachelor's degree in Management Sciences and Information Systems from the University of Detroit. Upon meeting Scott L on ghost hunts, Doug suggested doing an internet talk show about ghost hunting, and that idea became Ghostly Talk.
Doug adds, "I now enjoy broadcasting almost as much as ghost hunting. The show and I have grown in ways I could never have imagined!"
A couple years later, Doug's avid interest in independent endeavors became evident again when the show began airing only independent music for the breaks during the show.
"The show is an independent show, and it was only fitting to air only independent music," says Doug.
Doug continues to ghost hunt whenever possible and co-hosts Ghostly Talk weekly from Warren, Michigan. The stout, long haired Scott L. became interested in the paranormal as a young child when he bought his first book 'Haunted Houses' by Larry Kettelkamp at a garage sale for $.25. Intrigued and frightened by this book, Scott L. developed an adolescent interest in the paranormal that rooted itself firmly into the little boys mind through the present day:
Scott L. adds, "With college going on and also playing music, I didn't have time to really pursue the paranormal field as extensively as I wanted to."
It was when Scott L graduated from college that he now had the time to pursue his passion. Instantly drawn to the study of ghost hunting, Scott L. began networking with other people in the field locally. A short time later he crossed paths with co-host Doug in a local ghost hunting group they both had a part in forming.
How did he get into broadcasting though?
"Honestly, I have wanted to explore broadcasting for a very long time. I had some downtime from playing music in the late 90's, and it was a something that went through my mind a lot. When I met Doug after doing a lot of ghost hunting and talking about the paranormal, he asked if I wanted to try to do an internet talk show on the subject(s). I jumped at the opportunity," says Scott L.
Today, Scott L. is a familiar voice and presence in the field of the paranormal. He dedicates the majority of his time outside of his professional life to The Ghostly Talk Paranormal Talk Show and the promotion of the grassroots study of the paranormal.
“The study of the paranormal has gained a lot of popularity over the last couple of years. Ghostly Talk has enjoyed this growth in notoriety also, but we have not substituted our true interest in this field with the dreams of being celebrities. Like any trend though, I believe things will slow down in the next couple of years and the people who have a true interest in this field and study will still be here!” Raised in a religious family, Bonnie was always taught that ghosts don't exist. She accepted that for the truth until she had an unexplainable experience in her teens. That piqued her interest and opened her mind to all things unusual and unexplained.
In her 20's she found people online with similar interests. She joined many paranormal groups which further fueled her interest. The stories led her to want to go out and experience more. Several years later she joined her first ghost hunting group. That's when she met Doug and Scott L. They all clicked as investigators and friends.
"I took an interest in the show and was always around helping out in any way I could. When they realized they couldn't get rid of me, they gave up and put me in front of a microphone." With their teeth sharpened for 2009, Ghostly Talk continues into their 8th year as a premier independent resource for paranormal discussion and research.
"There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will." Epictetus WE HOPE YOUR WEEK IS ROCKING HARD!! Much love, Shawn THE HAVEN EFFECT
