Weird Wisconsin (with Special Guest Josh)

Ghost Gossip
In this episode, host Ashley chats with Josh, the creator of Weird Wisconsin, about his journey into uncovering forgotten historical and paranormal tales. They explore the personal experiences that sparked his interest, from childhood shadow figures to a spirit in his own home, and discuss the importance of education in the paranormal field.
Josh explains how his wife inspired his channel, which connects him with locals who share unknown stories, and how he involves his young daughter in explorations. They discuss children's sensitivity to spirits and the growing acceptance of the paranormal community. Josh emphasizes that most spirits are friendly or unaware, sharing his experience with a spirit in his 1918 bungalow. The conversation moves to their college ghost hunting group and a frightening ghost box response at Belvoir Winery. Josh now leads ghost tours in Waukesha, where he shares stories like the unidentified boy found in a quarry in 1921, and discusses the ethical dilemma of exhuming his body. He also talks about his book 'Ghosts of Waukesha' and his dream of making Weird Wisconsin a full-time job, sharing a viral story about an Irish church with a cornerstone from the Rock of Cashel.
