Ron and Lou kick off the Ghost Chronicles Morning Edition with a mix of personal anecdotes and fascinating tales. They share stories about naming their children, then dive into a world of disappearing islands, from NASA's vanishing map points to phantom islands tied to oil rights conspiracies. The conversation takes a turn through Soviet biological weapons testing grounds, a castle built for military surplus, and a perfectly circular, rotating island in Argentina, before exploring the alien-like ecosystem of Socotra and the controversial history of Diego Garcia.
