Max returns to Talking Weird to chat about his latest, and tenth, book - released by Hagar 1 Publishing - THE SCREAM OF THE HAUNTED HOUSE.

Available here: https://hangar1publishing.com/collections/nonfiction-books/products/scream-of-the-haunted-house

This ground-breaking book exposes the haunted house as a prison of despair, where earthbound spirits cry for tranquility and tears are shed, not from the eyes, but from the soul.

Despite belief that demonic infestation is rare, the author probes the most terrifying of possibilities-Are ghost hunters disturbing things that should be left alone? Are they conceivable targets of demonic wrath? And has Dark Tourism knowingly opened the profane cash registers of Hell?

Exploring the most infamous haunted locations-the Conjuring House, Amityville, the Sallie House, the Lizzie Borden House, the Stanley Hotel, Pennhurst Asylum, the Smurl House, the Mansfield Reformatory, and countless others-this is the comprehensive text ghost hunters have been hungering for.

Tonight's show covers a wide-ranging overview of hauntings, as well as paranormal investigations, methodologies , and personalities. It's a thought-provoking episode that you do want to miss.

Bigfoot, Dogman & the Human Side of the Unknown

What if the woods that once saved you… never stopped watching?

This week on Untold Radio AM, hosts Doug Hajicek and Jeff Perrella sit down with Kay Gleaves—writer, storyteller, ordained chaplain, and Admin with a.k.a. Sasquatch—for a powerful, deeply personal conversation spanning more than five decades of unexplained encounters.

Kay’s connection to the unknown began at age seven and has continued throughout her life with experiences she believes involved Bigfoot, Dogman, and possibly Wendigos. After years of ridicule and disbelief, she went silent. But in the last two years she has found her voice again. Growing up amid abuse and gang violence, the woods were once her only refuge—a place that eventually became filled with questions, encounters, faith, and purpose.

Now 60, Kay supports expeditions, investigations, events, and the preservation of experiencers’ stories. With a background in chaplaincy, recovery ministry, coaching, and storytelling, she focuses on the human side of these encounters—giving people a place to speak without ridicule. She doesn’t claim to have the answers. She only has the determination to keep asking.

If you’ve ever felt the woods looking back… this episode is for you.
