Three dingbats walk into a bar, sit down and ask the bartender “So what do you know about ghosts”? Those dingbats are Brooke, Bobby, and Emily - and while there was no actual bar or bartender, there were ghosts. In all seriousness though, we are just three best friends who enjoy all things paranormal and wanted to share our thoughts and experiences with the world. Check back every Wednesday at the bewitching hour (3am EST) to hear our latest and greatest ghost stories. If you want any of your stories to be shared, please reach out by emailing us at boo.busters.podcast@gmail.com.
