Monster Men Ep. 42: Ghost Hunting TV Gone Wild

Here's the new episode of the Monster Men video podcast. This time we discuss the plethora of ghost hunting shows that are currently on the air. It seems that whenever you turn on the television, you are bound to find a paranormal investigation or true haunting program. Some are pretty fun, some can be very interesting and some take themselves way too seriously. But we Monster Men never take anything too seriously, so join us as we dissect and discuss the best and worst of the paranormal TV shows.


For the record, we are pretty skeptical of all ghost hunting shows, but we approach them all with an open mind and we also enjoy them as entertainment, regardless of their actual validity. The conversation starts with GHOST MINE, one of the newer and more interesting entries to the genre.

We also cover shows like GHOST ADVENTURES, THE DEAD FILES, THE HAUNTED COLLECTOR, PARANORMAL WITNESS, THE HAUNTING OF, FACT OR FAKED, A HAUNTING, DESTINATION TRUTH, MY GHOST STORY and PARANORMAL STATE.

Please note that we filmed this episode before STRANDED and DEEP SOUTH PARANORMAL came on the air. We'll discuss them in a future show.

Monster Men Ep. 40: The White Lady of Union Cemetery

The Monster Men go in search of The White Lady of Union Cemetery! Just in time for the release of Hunter Shea's new ghostly novel, Sinister Entity, we pay a visit to the haunted hub of the Nutmeg State.

Union Cemetery in Easton is considered one of the most active paranormal locations in the Connecticut. It’s also home to one of the most famous ghosts in New England, the legendary White Lady ghost, who is said to roam the grounds and the surrounding roads including Route 59 and 111. There are also reports of mysterious red eyes being spotted by visitors and passersby. 

The cemetery was made famous by Ed and Lorianne Warren, Connecticut's most well-known ghost hunters. They claim to actually have a video of the White Lady, but you have to pay to attend on of their events to see it. Now that Ed has passed away and Lorianne is consulting on shows like Paranormal State, I'm not sure if you can still get a chance to see the video.

On this episode of the Monster Men video podcast, Hunter and I, along with our buddy Anthony, visit this haunted hotspot.  We explore the cemetery, share a few stories and even try a some EVP sessions to see if we could pick up a the voice of a spirit or two. I also share a photo I took there around 1997 or 1998 that reveals a ghostly image in a window of the house by the cemetery. 

I have to say, I did not expect to get anything from the digital recordings we made, and when my partner informed me that we had caught an interesting sound on the tape after one of our questions directed specifically to the White Lady, I was shocked. Could it be an EVP with the voice of the most infamous ghost in Connecticut? Check it out and let me know what you think.

And a quick word of advice to our fellow ghost hunters and legend trippers, don’t go to the Union Cemetery at night. It’s illegal and you will be arrested or fined. If you do visit, during the day, please respect the property and the graves.

 

The Monster Men video podcast is a lighthearted chat about dark matters. We talk about all things horror and paranormal with our own brand of graveyard humor. Horror movie and book reviews, paranormal TV, ghost stories, UFOs, urban legends and more.
