The Welcome to a special Halloween episode of American Hauntings, the podcast dedicated to history,

hauntings, legends, and lore of America's past. hosted by Cody Beck and Troy Taylor,

we're tossing out the script for this holiday episode and

sharing some of our personal experiences about what scares us and what got us interested

in ghosts, hauntings, and producing this podcast in the first place. My name is Troy Taylor. on And this time I'm going to introduce you to my co-host friend and well somewhat annoying

sidekick Cody Beck whose idea was to do this podcast in the first place. So this is your chance to go, hey, what's up?

Thank you very much for the introduction. I'm really excited for this episode because finally,

for the first time in this podcast I can be uncensored and unleashed and I don't have to

hold back.

I know I know well he's been worried about that I've had so many discretion I've just

well you know this this episode and listen we're not going to do this very often

maybe we'll just do it every Halloween but this is the episode where we're going to do

exactly what we said we weren't going to do with this podcast which is just us

sitting around telling stories.

So everything in moderation especially moderation so we're just we're going

for it we're doing what we want to do. I'm so excited for this and I'm really excited this because you know a couple reasons I would love to talk about you know this thing that every time I tell me about the podcast they always ask like well how did you get into this what's the point

and purpose in the first place and so I've told the story a thousand times in a bunch of different

places and different bars and everything and also I would love to hear I I mean, you are the man, the myth, the legend that has all of these stories about...

Legend of his own mind.

About the craziest shit, you know, and especially in Alton and all over the place.

So I really want to know, you know, what got the ghost guy into ghost.

Like I'm just as excited for this episode as I've been for any episode.
