The Real Ghosts Of...: Recent Episodes
The Real Ghosts of...
Welcome to The Real Ghosts of... podcast! We're Taylor Reneau and Nicole Riccardo and we're here to bring you tales of the paranormal in Austin and beyond. Whether you're here for an investigation or one of our Wine & Spirits episodes, we welcome you to kick back, have a drink, and explore the "other side" with us!
In Part 3 of our Centreville, Mississippi series, we take you with us — literally — as we dive into one of the weirdest experiments we've ever done.
After uncovering the chilling history of Camp Van Dorn and running into a town full of silence and dead ends, we knew a typical paranormal investigation wouldn’t cut it. So we turned to ritual, intention, chaos magic, and... the Randonautica app.
In this immersive, vlog-style episode, you’ll come along as we pull cards from the Memento Mori oracle deck, activate a sigil, set our intention, and let Randonautica guide us to whatever — or whoever — might help us uncover the truth. What unfolds includes a long forest drive, a mysterious path through dense trees, and a random clearing that seems too intentional to be coincidence.
The deeper we go, the more surreal it becomes. From our Estes session the night before, where the main message was a repeated, urgent plea to "get the book," to the uncanny alignment of our oracle pulls and destination, something is clearly trying to communicate with us.
But what?
This episode is less polished investigation and more raw spiritual scavenger hunt. And while we didn’t find the book… we’re pretty sure it’s still waiting to be discovered.
Follow along as we try to decode the breadcrumbs. And stay tuned for Part 4, where we reveal what came through during our Estes session... and the séance that ended everything with, of course, even more high strangeness.

In this second installment of our Centreville investigation, we step beyond the quiet decay of Moonshadow Manor and into a far more unsettling shadow: the alleged mass killing of Black soldiers at Camp Van Dorn.
Join us as we walk the place where the camp gates once loomed...an unremarkable roadside clearing today, but a site tangled in decades of rumor, grief, and contested memory. We trace the history of the camp, sift through research, and explore the story that has circulated.
This episode is an honest conversation about difficult history. We approach this topic with deep respect for those whose lives and legacies may be bound to this story, while also questioning how folklore, fear, and conspiracy sometimes entwine with fact.

What we thought was a haunted house investigation turned out to be something much bigger. In this first chapter of our Centreville, Mississippi series, we invite you into Moonshadow Manor—an eerie, forgotten home frozen in time, filled with personal items left behind and a palpable energy that seemed to know we were coming. Nicole walks the house while channeling impressions from the former occupants, and we begin to uncover breadcrumbs that hint at a much larger story.
But as the spirits stirred, so did the whispers of the town’s buried past.
This isn’t just a haunting. It’s a haunting introduction.
Join us for this atmospheric prelude... and stay tuned for Episode 2, where the real mystery unfolds: a controversial military history, a missing regiment, and the lingering question—what really happened at Camp Van Dorn?

In this episode, we’re crawling into the void with a listener-submitted story that gave us full-body chills: shadow spiders. Yes, you read that right—spidery forms made of darkness, darting along walls and ceilings, skittering just out of reach of the light. We share the tale, then spin our own web of theories as we unravel the possible meanings behind these eerie entities. Are they spirit? Thoughtform? Interdimensional bleed-through? Grab your cleansing spray (and maybe a fly swatter) as we descend into the tangled threads of this strange and sinister phenomenon.

We swear we were just trying to take a little pleasure trip. Just a casual getaway to New Orleans—eat some beignets, drink some cocktails, maybe talk to a few ghosts if they asked nicely. But surprise! High strangeness had other plans. In true “us” fashion, we accidentally booked a haunted location (because of course we did), and things got... weird.
In this Wine & Spirits episode, we’re pouring a drink and recapping the whole New Orleans adventure,. We’re sharing what happened, what we felt, and diving into some deeper philosophical musings on what makes New Orleans so uniquely, deliciously haunted.
There’s history. There’s hauntings. There’s us, mid-sip, spiraling into yet another paranormal theory. Just how we like it. 👻
So grab your favorite potion (wine, whiskey, or witchy tea), and settle in for ghost stories, giggles, and a good ol’ metaphysical meander through the French Quarter!
We’ve walked the halls, talked to the ghosts, and spoke to the woman who lived it, but now it’s time to really get into it. In this final installment of our Kate Shepard House series, we’re going down the rabbit hole. This is the episode where we roll up our sleeves, light the metaphorical (or literal) candles, and unpack everything that went down—from the strange synchronicities to the most unexplainable moments.
We’re diving into our personal theories, weaving together history, intuition, and straight-up bizarre evidence. This is less “just the facts” and more “what the hell is really going on here?” Think of it as our post-investigation debrief… if that debrief happened in a haunted speakeasy filled with weird relics, questionable portals, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.
If you’ve been following this haunted house journey with us, this is the episode where it all comes together...and maybe unravels a little, too. Grab your potion of choice and get comfy, friend. It’s time to go deeper!

We’ve explored the house. We’ve uncovered the evidence. Now, it’s time to talk to the one person who knows this haunted beauty better than anyone: former owner Wendy James. In this final chapter of our Kate Shepard House series, we sit down with Wendy herself to hear the wild, weird, and honestly way too validating stories from her time living in this house full-time.
Wendy doesn’t just dish out ghost stories, she drops receipts. We’re talking uncovered heirlooms, hidden photographs, and personal experiences that lined up just a little too well with what we encountered on our own investigation. Spoiler: she had no clue what we captured when we walked in her front door. But by the time we walked out? Our dots were connecting and the goosebumps were goosebumping.
This episode is a cozy (virtual) chat with a side of spectral intrigue...a true full-circle moment in our paranormal puzzle. So grab a cup of tea (or wine, we don’t judge), and settle in as we get the inside scoop from the woman who once called the Kate Shepard House home!!

We’re back at the gorgeously haunted Kate Shepard House for Part 2, and this time, it’s go time. You’ve already walked the halls with me in Part 1 and heard Damian drop some serious history tea. Now, we’re taking you along for the actual investigation—yes, the real ghost hunt. No reenactments. No dramatic voiceovers. Just us, our gear, our questions, and a whole lot of strange activity we did not expect.
In this episode, we’re peeling back the veil in real-time. We set up multiple mics overnight, left them rolling in different parts of the house, and let’s just say... we caught some things.
Weird things.
But don’t worry, it’s not all bumps in the night and weird whispers. There are laughs, there are theories, there are moments where one of us may or may not yell "nope!" and leave a room entirely. (Hurricane 👀🤣)
Think of this episode as if we rented a haunted B&B and actually brought you with us. It’s haunted hospitality at its finest, with ghosts, giggles, and just the right amount of existential dread. Let’s dive back in, ghoulies!!

Sometimes the best investigations don’t start with a dark history, they start with a synchronicity.
In this new series, we take you inside the Kate Shepard House in Mobile, Alabama - a place that isn’t exactly listed on the “most haunted” maps... and honestly, that’s part of what made it so interesting to us. No gruesome past, no sensational headlines, just a house that quietly called to us through a string of strange coincidences we couldn’t ignore.
This investigation feels different. It’s not about chasing down tragic events or infamous spirits. It’s about following the breadcrumbs the universe seemed to throw at our feet... and seeing what happens when you listen.
Get ready. The Real Ghosts Of The Kate Shepard House are ready to be heard.

Pack your ghost-hunting gear and your mini wine bottles, because this week we’re checking into some of the world’s most haunted hotels...and let’s just say, the spirits were not shy.
In this Wine & Spirits episode, we’re spilling (wine and tea) on some of our weirdest, wildest haunted hotel encounters - from spectral serenades to bedside banshees - and diving into our theories on why hotels seem to be such supernatural hotspots. Is it the liminal energy? The constant flux of visitors? Or just a ton of ghosts gone wild?
We’ll explore what makes these transient spaces such magnetizing limbo zones for the otherworldly, and share a few stories that might make you think twice before booking that “charming historic inn.”
So light a candle, pour a glass of whatever potion suits your vibe, and join us for a haunted happy hour filled with apparitions, afterlife antics, and a whole lot of ghost gossip. 🥂👻

Pour a glass, light a candle, and get cozy—it’s time for another round of Wine & Spirits, our (slightly boozy) bonus series where the wine flows... and so do the ghost stories. 👻
In this episode, we’re vibing our way through a mix of paranormal ponderings, mildly unhinged tangents, and a few truly creepy tales submitted by you - our listeners! From haunted houses to spectral visitors with questionable timing, these stories had us gasping, giggling, and side-eyeing the shadows in the corners of the room.
It’s casual. It’s chaotic. It’s exactly the kind of spooky hangout you didn’t know you needed.
So grab your beverage of choice (spirits optional but encouraged), and join us for a haunted happy hour!

In the final installment of our Bell Witch series, we’re throwing open the trapdoor and diving headfirst down the rabbit hole. It’s time to talk theories—what really happened on that Tennessee farm in the 1800s? Was it a ghost, a witch, a poltergeist… or something even stranger?
We’re unpacking everything from cultural context to psychic projection to why some stories age like haunted wine and others... not so much. And for the first time ever, Nicole shares a theory about the infamous "talking" of the Bell Witch that—despite all the research—she hasn’t seen anyone else bring up. Spoiler: it’s weird, it’s compelling, and honestly? It might be the most likely explanation of all.
Bring your open minds, your skepticism, and maybe a pinch of salt—we’re connecting the dots, crossing the veils, and wrapping up this series the only way we know how: with curiosity, cackles, and just a lil’ bit of chaos.

In Part Two of our Bell Witch series, we’re joined by our very good (and very haunted) friend Eric—aka Sir Talking Hair—for a retelling of the bizarre experiences we had during and after our visit to the Bell Witch property. Spoiler alert: something may have followed us home? Love that for us!
From handprints to tech glitches, we’re diving into the real-life aftermath of poking the paranormal bear. And THEN—for the first time ever—we perform a live investigation right here on the podcast. Of what, you ask? Oh, just the rocks we may or may not have (definitely did) take from the Bell Witch Cave.
Did things get weird? Yes. Are we still having paranormal activity in our house as of today? Also yes. Will we ever learn? Absolutely not. 🤪

Welcome to Part One of our deep dive into one of the most iconic hauntings in American lore: the Bell Witch. This week, we’re cracking open the ghostly grimoire and sifting through the stories, superstitions, and straight-up what-the-hells that surround this infamous Tennessee spirit.
Was it a vengeful neighbor with a flair for the dramatic? A full-blown witchy poltergeist situation? Or just a family drama that got wildly out of hand and picked up some spooky fanfic along the way? We’re breaking down the “history,” exploring the earliest accounts, and side-eyeing the inconsistencies—because you know we’re not just here to read dusty old stories, we’re here to dig deeper.
So light a protection candle, pour yourself a drink, and get ready for creepy voices, ghost slaps, and some truly unhinged 1800s energy. The Bell Witch is in the house... and she brought receipts.

Since the beginning of this podcast, our understanding of the paranormal has evolved—a lot. The more cases we’ve investigated, the more research we’ve done, and the more experiences we’ve had, the less certain we are about what a “ghost” actually is. Are they the spirits of the dead? Residual energy? Interdimensional echoes? Plasmoids? Something even stranger?
In this episode, we’re taking a step back to reflect on how our theories have shifted since we started The Real Ghosts Of… and where we stand now. We’ll unpack the biggest revelations, the wildest possibilities, and why the question of what a ghost is might be more complicated than we ever imagined. If you think you know the answer… think again.

In this episode, we’re diving into the electrifying world of plasmoids—those mysterious, self-contained balls of plasma that might just hold the key to some of the strangest paranormal encounters. Scientists have been taking a closer look at these enigmatic energy formations, and their findings are raising some serious questions about the nature of hauntings, spirits, and even consciousness itself. Could plasmoids be a scientific explanation for ghostly manifestations? Are they intelligent, or are they simply misunderstood natural phenomena?
Join us as we explore the latest research, the wildest theories, and what this means for the future of paranormal investigation. From haunted houses to high-tech laboratories, this is one conversation that might just change the way we think about the supernatural!

In this episode of The Real Ghosts Of... , we dive deep into the world of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) and ITC (Instrumental Transcommunication), exploring how our perspectives on spirit communication have evolved. We also briefly discuss the history of ITC, highlighting pioneers like Marcello Bacci, Frank Sumption, and Nikola Tesla with his Spirit Radio, and how their work has shaped modern paranormal research.
We also break down the mechanics behind EVPs—examining modulation, frequency manipulation, and possible explanations for how these voices manifest. Are they truly the voices of the dead, or is something else at play? Our thoughts on the nature of EVP are shifting, and we're unpacking the possibilities. Come on the journey with us! 👻
Tune in for an eye-opening discussion on the science, skepticism, and spectral mysteries behind one of the most well-known forms of paranormal evidence.

Step into the unknown in Part 2 of our Waverly Hills series on The Real Ghosts Of… Podcast. In this episode, our paranormal investigation at the infamous Waverly Hills Sanatorium takes a captivating turn.
