This episode dives into Charlotte’s rich, layered ghost lore—not as mere entertainment, but as a living thread connecting community, history, and preservation. At its heart is a conversation with Jason of Spooky CLT, whose eight-year mission blends paranormal storytelling with tangible stewardship of the city’s historic cemeteries and landmarks.
Jason shares how Spooky CLT uses ghost stories to spark civic engagement—especially in the Bible Belt, where he carefully distinguishes theological concepts from pop-culture sensationalism. A former skeptic recounts pivotal personal encounters that reshaped his views, leading him to lead fundraising paranormal investigations, including one at the Latta Building that restored Charlie Hawk’s headstone. Stories from haunted spaces—from a playful spirit in a family home to Philip Morris’s lingering presence at his costume shop—reveal how residents coexist with the unseen. Connections emerge between paranormal activity and real history: the Dunhill Hotel’s Room 906, tied to a discovered skeleton and recently solved cold case involving WWII veteran Odell Mundy; ethical concerns about AI in evidence; and community-driven restoration efforts at Elmwood-Pinewood Cemetery. Upcoming events like the May 8th investigation with Juwan Mass aim to turn curiosity into conservation—transforming ghost stories into catalysts for historic preservation and collective memory.
