Outside Salem’s Hawthorne Hotel at GhoStock 7, the Paranormal SPY team got a chance to speak with Dave Schrader, host of Darkness on the Edge of Town paranormal radio show. And just for the record, I would’ve preferred to call this an interview with Dave Schrader, but my paranormal partner Ronin caught a case of the fanboy and couldn’t shut his trap. Otherwise, it’s a great piece of video with who we consider to be one of the best in paranormal talk radio. Schrader discusses personal paranormal experiences, his approach to radio, time slips, as well as paranormal television. And as a bonus for our Paranormal SPY visitors, we’ve inserted into the video the game “Guess how many times Ronin says his favorite word from the english language, a.k.a absolutely.” So good luck with that. And don’t forget to give Darkness Radio a listen. It’s guaranteed you’ll be hooked.

More about Darkness on the Edge of Town Paranormal radio.

This is a subject that’s freaked me out since Captain Howdy introduced himself through it. Yes, I know, that damn exorcist flick again, what can I say it scarred me for life. I’ve never touched one of these things, never mind entered a room where there was one. But still the Ouija board interests me for some unknown reason. Maybe someday I’ll grow some sack and try one out. And that’s a big maybe.

But the reason I bring this up is that “Darkness On the Edge of Town” Paranormal Radio just did a great show on the Ouija board. March fifteenth, Darkness host, Dave Schrader interviewed Ouija board collector Robert L. Murch Jr. And listen to this, Murch claims to own more than 300 talking boards. Hate to think how many unwanted, slightly-aged, visitors he gets. Anyway, the show covered some really interesting history about the board and how it came to be. Plus some good calls from Ouija board users. So go take a listen. [podcast]

For those of you who want more than the tv, books and websites check out “Darkness On the Edge of Town” Paranormal Radio. These guys are the nuts. I’ve listened to many paranormal radio shows over the years and found that quality tends to be lacking which sometimes makes listening pretty rough. But host, David Schrader and co-host Tim Dennis really have something special going. They’ve had a great mix of guests, including Lorraine Warren of Amityville fame, all the way over to ufologist Stanton Friedman.

Just to get a taste, everyone should take a listen to the Doctor Barry Taff interviews in the archives and then see if they can shut the lights out at sleepy time. Taff was involved in the case that inspired the 1981 film The Entity, plus some other wild stuff. Another plus for these guys was some healthy skepticism. Schrader challenges his guests which makes for some interesting paranormal discussions. Oh, and did I mention they’re funny bastards too.
