    Meagan is joined for our first official bonus episode (originally shared to Patreon last October) by friend of the podcast and fellow skeptic, Tyson Kemp, to talk about his ghost hunting experience on Blennerhassett Island located in West Virginia. As far as we're concerned, every potentially haunted island should come with a mysterious caretaker and House of the Dragon and Hamilton tie-ins. ** You can find Tyson on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tysonunkempt/ and TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@tysonunkempt/. He also recently launched a new horror fiction series on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4UKp-cGAQA ** Want to listen without the ads?
