You know Bobby Mackey, right? Country billboard chart-topper Bobby Mackey? No? Well, you like Pepsi, right? So maybe you know his whole deal. Anyway, he's not the ghost, so why are we even talking about this?

This is the story of Bobby Mackey's Music World. Come for the ghosts, stay for: I just want a Cobb salad; ghost boosters; I don’t think this is legally binding; ambitious dental students; if we keep going we’re gonna hit teeth; I’m so thirsty after all of this slaughtering; viscera wells; and Elmer Fudpucker’s river mud records.

It's Germany. Early 1800s. Blink. Now it's New York. Later 1800s. No overlap. Go to sleep. Wake up. The worlds have collided. There are bricks. There are ghosts. What is happening? No one knows. Was that a hitman? Spooky.

This is the story of the Kreischer Mansion. Come for the ghosts, stay for: cat spikes; a big ol' glass of Four Roses; anything is possible at patrick-dot-com; the snow witch; what if the Beatles were just a different shade of blue?; a Wile E. Coyote trap in every room; feed the poor bricks; love a good pig man; and the McKelvey supercut.

Clayton got distracted this week, so it's Audio Editor Jeremy to the rescue! He brought us a story that's going to just absolutely thrill the engineer in your family. Also, there are ghosts.

This is the story of the haunted Hoosac Tunnel. Come for the ghosts, stay for: bacon defense contracting; Timothee unlookalike; does Jeremy have the Internet?; big ol’ peeper; an afront to God; that’s West Virginia’s problem now; and call Jerry Bruckheimer.
