Ghost Gossip
2025/07/21
In this gripping episode of Ghost Gossip, host and paranormal enthusiast Jolly from SOCO Paranormal shares raw, firsthand accounts from his rapid rise in the Southern Colorado paranormal scene — revealing how curiosity sparked by a simple security camera clip evolved into full-fledged investigations across haunted cemeteries, historic mortuaries, and bourbon distilleries.
Jolly recounts launching his paranormal journey in late 2024 after capturing unexplained orbs at home, then diving into high-activity sites like St. Scholastica and McIntyre — where spirits reportedly respond more readily to familiar, respectful investigators. He describes intense physical encounters: hair pulling, black-eyed episodes, and unexplainable touches that defy rational debunking. Tech plays a surprising role — apps named deceased individuals before verification, and dowsing rods revealed anomalies during skeptical friend demos. His evolving relationship with spirit 'Wayne' shifted from fear-induced illness to peaceful coexistence, mirroring his husband’s own conversion from skeptic to witness. Sunset emerges as the optimal investigation window, and solo hunts — often accompanied by his dog’s eerie behavior — remain his preference. Future plans include returning to Eureka Springs, accessing a Catholic abbey, and exploring Arkansas’s deeply haunted terrain. Throughout, authenticity, energetic intention, and humility anchor his approach — not gear, but presence, shapes the encounter.
