This week on the Fedora Files I am joined by Richard Palmisano and Peter J. Roe Authors of the book: The COMPLETE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION HANDBOOK. We talk Ghosts, Hauntings and investigations. Richard Palmisano Raised in a haunted house, Richard's memories of things going bump in the night started around four years of age, which he believes nudged him into a lifelong exploration of all things strange. His passion for solving mysteries pushed him onto two equally demanding paths: the first was a long-time career into security and law enforcement, and second was the founding of The Searcher Group (1979), fulfilling his quest to find answers to the afterlife. Sometimes these two paths collided with remarkable results, as Richard's credentials allowed him to go where most could not. Over many years Richard has been honored to have five books published documenting investigations he's conducted. Though many have asked why he has not written more books, his answer is that not every haunting merits one; only those exceptional stories that help advance our understanding of life after death and open our minds to possibilities inspires Richard to put pen to paper. Richard can be reached at richard@thesearchergroup.ca. Peter J. Roe As assistant director to Richard and The Searcher Group, Peter is also director of TSG subdivision Mortal Coil Paranormal 260 • About the Authors (MCP), serving the Greater Toronto Area and southwestern Ontario. A veteran of Canadian television animation by trade and author of Rock & Rule: The Art and Story of a Cult Film (RAID Press, projected release 2026), Peter dedicates much of his spare time to the meaningful pursuit of educating the public on paranormal phenomena and advocating for Ontario's vanishing, oft unappreciated heritage through acquiring the stories relayed by its ghosts. The Complete Paranormal Investigation Handbook marks Peter's second publication endeavor concerning ghost phenomena studies following the worldwide release of Haunted Town Halls (Quagmire Press) in 2018. Peter is currently in the throes of writing two more ghost-related works. For paranormal matters, Peter can be reached at mortalcoil paranormal@gmail.com. The Book is Available on Amazon or here The Complete Paranormal Investigation Handbook | Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd. #TheFedoraFiles #FedoraFilesPodcast #GregoryFedora #ParanormalPodcast #NewEpisode #RichardPalmisano #PeterJRoe #TheSearcherGroup #MortalCoilParanormal #TheCompleteParanormalInvestigationHandbook #LlewellynBooks #ParanormalInvestigation #Ghosts #Hauntings #Supernatural #Afterlife #LifeAfterDeath #HauntedToronto #OntarioHeritage #HauntedTownHalls #ParanormalResearch
Dust off your fedoras and lock the doors—The Fedora Files is heading back to Charlotte, North Carolina! This week, we welcome back the man who knows where all the bodies are buried (literally), Jason from @spookyclt. Jason isn't just a ghost hunter; he's a preservationist of the paranormal. In this episode, we're digging into the 'Year of the 13th' and the massive lineup Jason has planned for 2026. From the phantom aisles of VisArt Video to the heavy iron gates of Elmwood Cemetery, Jason shares the stories the bankers don't want you to hear. We talk about the spirits wandering the horror section, the restoration of the legendary Charlie Houck lion-tamer grave, and how you can join the next Haunted Hang Out. It's a masterclass in local lore, community preservation, and the spine-chilling history of the South. Tune in as we explore why Charlotte's past refuses to stay quiet. #TheFedoraFiles #SpookyCLT #CharlotteHauntings #GhostStories #UrbanLegends #Preservation #VisArtVideo #ElmwoodCemetery #GregoryFedora #ParanormalPodcast #CLThistory
The city is losing its groove! A mysterious gloom has settled over the streets, smelling like a three-day-old diaper and leaving even the most exuberant citizens—including the lovely Jodi—feeling downright blue. While Pop is busy obsessing over his new favorite podcast, Captain Apathy, Disco Ball Man discovers the source of the sadness: two gloom-peddling flyers-snatchers who combine to form the giant, two-headed monster, Emogoth! Can DBM level up his choreography in time to defeat a villain fueled by existential pointlessness? With the help of Morris and some "boogeylicious" new moves, our hero must prove that the power of disco is the ultimate cure for toxic melancholy.

"I got the power of the boogie! My moves are slick and kinda kooky!"
Welcome to the world-premiere episode of Disco Ball Man: The Musical! Meet Dennis B. Maxwell. He was a self-proclaimed "nobody" until a fateful night at the local 18+ club changed everything. When a falling disco ball threatened the girl of his dreams, Dennis leaped into action—and ended up with a literal piece of the party lodged in his brain. Is it a life-threatening medical condition causing hallucinations and delusions of grandeur? Or has Dennis been chosen by the "Sultans of Swag" to become the ultimate glitter-clad guardian of justice? According to his doctor, it's the former. According to the funky synth-disco beat playing in Dennis's head... it's showtime. In this episode: The
Origin: Witness the "accident" that gave birth to a legend. The Training: Meet Morris, the disco-dojo sensei with a past as a roadie for KC and the Sunshine Band.
The First Patrol: Experience the grit of the urban jungle (and the smell of a very confused homeless man).
The Villain: A first glimpse at The Abyss, a mastermind whose greatest challenge isn't world domination—it's his tech-illiterate henchmen.
Featuring original showstoppers like "Shard of Destiny" and "Wax On, Wax Off, Hustle!", this episode proves that you don't need a cape when you have a triple-step and a dream.

It is time for the Fedora Files... Is it the ghost of a decapitated biker, forever searching for his lost head? Or a railway worker from a bygone era, his phantom lantern still glowing in the dark? On a lonely, pitch-black road in rural Ohio, a single, terrifying light appears out of nowhere, chasing cars and terrifying witnesses before vanishing into thin air.
For decades, college students and locals have dared to visit Buckeye Road, hoping for—and fearing—a glimpse of the legendary Oxford Light. Some say it's just car headlights or swamp gas, but eyewitnesses swear what they saw was NOT of this world.
Join Gregory Fedor as we drive deep into the heart of this terrifying American folklore. We'll uncover the tragic stories behind the haunting, talk about the eyewitness accounts, and ask the ultimate question: What is the deadly secret behind the Oxford Light? Lock your doors and turn up the volume... this is one ghost story that might just follow you home.

This time on The Fedora Files… Gregory Fedora gets deeply personal about a chapter of life many of us quietly endure but rarely talk about.

Gregory shares raw, real stories about home renovations, hospital runs, daily frustrations, and the unexpected gift of giving back to the people who once took care of us. You’re not alone — and Gregory invites you to share your own stories and connect with others on this challenging journey.
