Least Haunted Podcast

@leasthaunted.bsky.social

A podcast where science, skepticism, humor, and anthropology meet to discuss all things spooky, haunting, supernatural, and sometimes just the plain ridiculous. Hosted by Cody Franks and Garth von Ahnen. Anti AI, fuck ICE.

Did you ever get home late at night, or early in the morning after a party or the bar closed, flip on the TV and randomly stumble upon the end of a movie so bizarre that you still can't believe it was real? That my friend, is a FEVER SCREEN. We all have them. Now let's share them! #FeverScreens

We need your general paranormal questions! Now is the time to ask any of those questions about ghosts, cryptids, hauntings, paranormal tech, and :SIGH: even aliens that you have been too afraid to ask. Don't let some artificial intelligence answer them for you, Let a real living expert do it!

Going to do a Q+A episode. So send me your paranormal questions! Anything you’ve ever wanted to know about “spooky” stuff but never thought to ask. From paranormal basics to cultural functions, let me know! I’ll do my best to give crash course answers. It’ll be a ghostly grab bag for October.

You've all probably heard the tale of "Sarah" Winchester. Haunted widow and heiress building non stop to escape a curse... And of course it's all myth. Mostly. For starters, her preferred name wasn't "Sarah". She was Sallie! To find out more about the true story listen to the latest episode!

That's right! @diamandahagan.bsky.social and I are launching a new film review podcast! Discussing and revisiting those half remembered films or shows that you aren't really sure you saw, but you totally did... Maybe? Fever Screens! Coming soon a theater in your mind by way of earbuds or whatever.

Me and my co-host @leasthaunted.bsky.social have recorded 2 eps of our new Podcast FEVER SCREENS, where we talk about half-remembered films. Should be coming soonish :)

Trans people are real. Trans people exist. Trans People are not a threat. A.I. is not real. A.I. "people" do not exist. A.I. is a threat. And yet so many of those in charge want to give A.I. rights while stripping rights away from trans people. It is money? Cruelty? Stupidity? Hate? YES!

Get the pitchforks ready. This week we are going to be tackling one of the most famous and beloved "haunted" houses in the world! Guarantee one way or another you will end the episode a little pissed off. Which could be a good thing?

I think some of the problem we've had with growing in podcast popularity is that we "kill the fun". But if the fun is based on wildly inaccurate portrayals of real events and people, or problematic, then you bet your ass we're going to set the record straight!

I am a firm believer that true stories, facts, and people will always be more fascinating and compelling than the myths that grow and are taken unquestionably at face value. The myths are cool, yes. But they should be the abstract that draws you in deeper. The real good shit is under the surface.

I know I have said it before, but will say it again. A.I. has made my job researching a million times harder to do. The amount of slop and fake content that clogs up search results has rendered basic search engines useless. Dead Internet.

Paranormality is a function of culture, and as such is culturally relative. The beliefs serve a specific purpose relative to that culture. i.e. Conveying expected norms, morals, and societal expectations. These change over time, & take on new roles, even if the original function is forgotten.

Fuck it. Since apparently anyone can declare themselves a paranormal expert or cryptozoologist on the internet, I am using the opportunity and my actual degree in anthropology to claim the title: Paranormal Anthropologist. I have 163 episodes of this podcast to back me up.

I updated this page of the website. It's actually quite hard to define a subject/field of study when it was not well defined in the first place, never institutionalized, and has changed over time. What is cryptozoology? – Modern Cryptozoology moderncryptozoology.wordpress.com/what-is-cryp...

What is cryptozoology?

The answer to that depends on the lens you use to view cryptozoology. There are different versions of “cryptozoology” – as a field of study, a subject, or an idea. Generally, cryp…

Tech bros have created a tin god with their a.i. They claim it is infallible and capable of infinitely more than the human. Therefore one should just accept it, do not question it, and that it will lead to a utopia. Sounds like a religious cult to me. An opiate of the classless.

Gremlins got in the way of recording the first episode of a new project today. Will have to try again next week. But just know that the unlikeliest of team ups is occurring. Seriously, you wouldn’t have expected it in a million years!
