Do these celebrities haunt this earth? Join Ghostly for a special Skeptics Day episode with guests Dr. David Hickney (not Nick Mataragas) from Freak of the Week and Dr. Simon Scumbajay (not Al Morgan) from From X to Z talking about celebrity ghosts. Our guests have a very different take on these potential ghosts and not everything is as it seems.

How did Lucille Ball become famous? What are some interesting facts about the life of Alan Rickman? Who was Jim Varney?

This week’s listener mail is about a mysterious voice. Have a spooky story or question of your own (or someone you know)? Send your story or question to info@ghostlypodcast.com and we might read it on the podcast. You could be on a future episode of Ghostly!

Pat and Rebecca both give an overview of the life stories of this episode’s celebrities: Lucille Ball, Alan Rickman, and Jim Varney.

Pat and Rebecca are joined in this week’s debate by Dr. David Hickney and “celebrity ghost expert” Dr. Simon Scumbajay. What will the believers and skeptics say?
