    So much fun!!
    Brennan and Paul! You guys are just awesome! You both are just so entertaining and informative. Move the stories, the history, everything! Keep up the great workšŸ˜
  • mysterymach
    LOVE.
    EDIT- Man i wish i could write 12 reviews. The longer I listen, the more I love ya. Just great. You keep me sane! You guys are my fave. All these haters complaining about your politics- you know what that means. They are in the cult! Stay spooky and awesome.

    What happened man.
    Used to great when it was just spooky stories. Itā€™s now slowly morphed into a podcast where Brennan just regurgitates the most liberal talking points, with maybe three spooky stories. I had to check out when he said he moved to bluesky and trashed Jordan Peterson for no legitimate reason.

    Paulā€™s interview podcast
    If I wanted to listen to Paulā€™s podcast where he interviews guests regarding the paranormal, I would. Please go back to telling us and discussing paranormal stories.

    2nd episode ā€œpre-war snoop doggā€????
    Iā€™ll prolly change this review in a week or so bc I hate leaving less than 5 star reviews but I feel like this needs to be saidā€” calling a man who partied a lot and knocked up a sex worker who had a son with Down syndrome and then he decided to lock his son up in the attack a ā€œpre-war snoop doggā€ is weeeird. Snoop Dogg is a stand up dude and is a very avid philanthropist. He gives back to communities and donates so much of his wealth. Yeah I guess he has a rep of ā€˜partyingā€™ but not even that ā€” itā€™s just smoking weed. I just canā€™t help but think that comparison reeks of racism. Just jeez, what a weird thing to say about a man who has helped so many people.
  • Nick Krollā€™s butthole
    More liberal aggression
    First episode and the host is insulting people based on politics. Thatā€™s how you alienate and divide people. Why canā€™t entertainment shows just be about entertainment? I donā€™t need to know your political beliefs.

    Sinead!!
    Really enjoyed your banter with Sinead. Please have her back over and over again! Sheā€™s fantastic and hilarious!

    Brennan and Paul!
    Love you both Soooo much!! Thank you for all the hard work and GREAT listens. Luv you both!!!!
  • MoTheLibra
    My favorite paranormal podcast
    Iā€™ve been listening since 2018, and this show is just a joy. I like the banter easily as much as the stories. Keep being the honest, funny, curious, and devastatingly handsome folks you are.
  • Shaneman001
    Love so much !!!
    Brennan & Paul are amazing and cheer me up each episode!

    Came for the ghosts, stayed for the hosts
    I originally came to this show for the ghost stories. Over time, I found myself here for the hosts and what they bring in discussion and philosophy. Rarely do I find a show where I can just sit and listen to the hosts, and be happy just to be hearing the conversation. This is one of those times where I am in that space. I highly recommend subscribing to hear the extra shows, as itā€™s worth it. Kudos to the hosts for being kind and empathetic on the subject of mental health, as well.

    Used to be a show about ghosts.
    If you want to hear a male apologist who is obsessed with hearing himself talk and is utterly disgusted by western culture and civilization. Along with his meek British sidekick who occasionally delivers some interesting tidbits of information (when not being talked over by his obnoxious co-host) then this show is for you. Expect thee or four rushed stories intermingled with a conversation between the Brennan who is the equivalent of a man child with depression a misplaced sense of grandeur and also Brennan, because Paul is only there for filler and to agree with Brennanā€™s extremely biased views on the world. A unique insight into the devolution of a podcast that started off great but became nothing but a vehicle for the host to vomit his own ideas and pay himself on the back for ruining something that could have been great. I left once and gave it a second chance, done make the same mistake I did. Ghost story guys are nothing but a ghost story themselves.

    Used to be Entertaining
    Iā€™ve been a listener for quite some time. I enjoy the ghost stories and discussion between the both of them. More often than not, they have lately begun with more political conversation. Itā€™s not what Iā€™m there for. Itā€™s also tiring, as an American, to hear people from other countries commenting on our issues. Yes, you can have an opinion. If you arenā€™t American & havenā€™t lived here for years & years, youā€™ll never understand the true background, the nuances, the exchanges between different groups of people here. This podcast used to be an escape. Now Iā€™m running away from it.

    ghost story guys
    Please keep it clean & on proper ghosts story stuff. Boundaries are worth the effort. Your voices are perfect, worth far more than stinkā€™n swear words .
  • Chuveee
    What happened?
    Super long time listener and the show just keeps losing its charm. Brennan always says he doesnā€™t like talking about himself but we know way too much about him for that to be true. There was a lot to like and respect about the show. But stick to the stories and less irrelevant banter and Iā€™ll come back. Unfollowing with the 2023 Christmas episode.
  • Dannyny1978
    Good show but lack class
    What I mean about the showers Brendan keeps on using Jesus name of me and I get that heā€™s an atheist, but he has to say it over and over again. If you canā€™t stop saying it can you please leave it out, I am not one of the fundamentalist Christians Iā€™m pretty liberal and I still find it quite offensive. I hope they read this and consider in the future being a little less insensitive to other peoples beliefs.

    First time listener
    I love it keep it up
  • Joker1096
    Love it
    Been here since the start still love it .
  • Lori12112
    I canā€™t anymore ā˜¹ļø
    I donā€™t know the Canadian guy isā€¦ but heā€™s insufferable. Everything is about him and he has a lot of opinions youā€™ll learn aboutā€¦ most not relating to ghost stories. I listened to several episodes and it just got worse. The British guy sounds cool. May look into his solo work.
  • mlizalez
    Bizarre
    Currently listening to First Responders Part 2 and as you guys are joking about space toward the later half of the episode, my audio got weird and sounded like an alien voice for the rest of the episode.. so creepy! I wonder if anyone else had this experience?!
  • Zabeth17
    Always entertaining
    I found this podcast by accident, and am so glad that I did. Heck, I want to take one of their ghost tours. Unfortunately, weā€™re bordered by Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia so a quick trip to Revelstoke or Victoria is a bit complicated. They are never boring! Thereā€™s constant flow of personal experiences, music, and information. Keep up the great work! Used to enjoy this but apparently the $10 Patreon monthly charge does not make you a premier member ? So I ask whatā€™s the use of subscribing?
  • jenna from sd
    Too much political banter
    I was a subscriber for years but I am sad to say that I am unsubscribing because of the political talk. No matter where you stand on issues, itā€™s so draining to listen to. I want to hear ghost stories not political rants. :(
  • UltraPrecisionEngineer
    Full-On Awesome
    Brennan amd Paul are such a massive powerhouse of paranormal AWESOME!! What an incredible combo of talents!
  • GirlyGrace
    Meme Enjoyer Turned Podcast Listener
    I found this podcast because they post hilarious memes on instagram. So happy I found ya!
  • nosleepinginonsaturday4me
    I canā€™t do it anymore
    Brennan seem to have experience every topic they discuss. Even the most outlandish things. It reminds me of the kid in jr high that always tries to one up your story.
  • stillnotanonymous
    WAS Really fun and interesting
    Started at the beginning and listened to pretty much everything. Love the listener stories as well as the hosts take on ghostly phenomena. Update June 2023; I miss Ian; thereā€™s too much blather about unrelated stuff. Also tired of hearing about that ā€œMissing 411ā€ nonsense which has been thoroughly and completely debunked, please give it a rest. I think Iā€™m done with this podcast. Too much bizarre and weirdly pervy digressions and too few ghosts. It was fun for a while but no more.
  • Otter1120
    Binge-worthy
    Those who know me know Iā€™ve almost always got one earbud in, listening to podcasts; at work, driving, doing housework, falling asleep. Iā€™ve got about 20 good ones I keep up with. But lately I feel like I owe them all an apology. Iā€™ve been absolutely binging The Ghost Story Guys for the past three weeks. Brennan has a quick wit and a fantastic voice. And he has the BEST LAUGH EVER! The co-hostsā€™ banter with him is utterly hilarious (the deadpool-level insults traded are fantastic) The stories are well researched and beautifully written! I highly recommend this pod! ā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļø ā­ļø

    Christian Bashing
    I actually liked the first three of your episodes in general. I have had a paranormal experience myself. However, in two out of those first three episodes, you chose to insult the faith of millions of people worldwide. You didnā€™t say derogatory things about faith in general or other types of faith, only Christianity. Itā€™s a shame that you use this platform to express your personal bigotry regarding Christians and the Christian religion.
  • Airforcejon
    OHHHHH YEAH!
    Wanted to thank you guys for an amazing show. Not the scariest stories out here but theyā€™re very well structured and delivered. The playful banter between the 2 of you reminds me of me and my friends. I all around love this podcast. Keep up the great work. Iā€™m about to buy the subscription on Apple Podcasts. Never wanted to spend money on a podcast before so what does that tell you haha. Love the show guys keep it up.
  • kayla annā¤ļø
    This is a great ghost story podcast
    Brendan and Paul are a great! They have awesome stories and are comical as well!
  • suvmom04
    Great!!!
    These two guys take me through almost all the emotions. I love the banter and the stories are even better. Donā€™t ever stop doing what youā€™re doing. Love you Brenn and Paul!!ā¤ļø Edit: I canā€™t tell you two how much you mean to me. Youā€™ll always have a friend with me
  • Pika3064
    Not a fan anymore
    I really love the stories and I love Paul but man Brennan still never misses a chance to say something pervy and Iā€™m just over it.
  • Tang sum bhat
    Great ghost stories
    Lots of great content that makes me laugh and makes my skin crawl! Excellent talk between Brennan and Paul!
  • not a nutter
    Best episode
    Just Swamp Things was hands down, the best episode. I live in NC, and have lived in Wakefield UK. Both places are amazing and mysterious. My point isā€¦ this episode has been nostalgic due to the mingling of the British and southern presences. The Canadian connection???? Well, when I lived in England, both of my flat area were Canadian.
  • GRaisch
    Hilarious and entertaining
    Love these guys!! Great original stories that keep you on the edge of your seat. The banter is my favorite. Puts a smile on my face everyday. Thanks guys keep up the amazing work!
  • maiddie710
    Ghost guys
    I listen to a lot of podcasts but this one holds my interest. I work in a hospital so itā€™s hard not to laugh out loud but you guys make that impossible some days. Keep up the spooks. Michelle
  • BluCat818
    Good ghost stories
    I enjoy the ghost stories a lot but sometimes miss the jokes completely. I know itā€™s funny because of the laughter but I donā€™t get the jokes. Makes me feel like Iā€™m missing the humor.
  • Aimee Marie aka Freyacat
    So utterly irreverent and Iā€™m laughing so hard
    These guys are the best ones to listen to especially if they are laughing about the 1980s MY DECADE. The stories are creepy and they tell them find person and their voice and storytelling is captivating. I need to join your Paterson. Maybe Iā€™ll look yā€™all up at this next Crime Con. Definitely try it out Iā€™m happy I stubbles across it.
  • TexasMama23
    Great Team!
    Brennan and Paul are fantastic together. If youā€™re sensitive to outside worldly topics then probably not for you. The chemistry and knowledge yaā€™ll bring to the table is by far one of the best. Paul youā€™re laughter is contagious! Keep up the great work.
  • ShanKaz
    Fun and Interesting with Unique Personalities
    This podcast was recommended to me and Iā€™m glad I took the advice. Iā€™m a few years late to the party, so Iā€™m still on the first season. Iā€™m thoroughly enjoying the banter that infuses each show. It shows each hostā€™s personality and gives some roundness to the show. The topics are varied and detailed. The research is fantastic. I love that the conversational episodes are interspersed with interviews introducing other authors and their views on both new and traditional topics in the supernatural world. I will definitely continue to listen through to the current episodes. Thanks for the fun binge guys.
  • Pachelbel09
    Entertaining Podcast
    Have listened to this podcast for a few months now. Really love the stories Brandon and Paul read and also when they share their own paranormal experiences. Brandon is hilarious and Paul has that very dry sense of humor that cracks me up! Also like that they support listeners who struggle with mental health issues. Love you guys - please keep up the great work!
  • patd2foxfire
    Simply wonderful!
    Intelligent, humorous and entertaining. I enjoy and look forward to this show. While I have many, many podcasts that I have loaded, this is one of the 5 or 6 I look for and listen to as soon as it loads.
  • jarobe3
    Why?
    Why include politics? I was so excited to came here for supernatural stuff. Please, if anyone can suggest a good supernatural podcast that doesnā€™t include politics, Iā€™d appreciate it!
  • CPB9387
    Just canā€™t do it anymoreā€¦
    I just canā€™t stand Brandon any more. Every episode is just him retelling his experiences & useless banter. Iā€™m convinced Paul just laughs to keep him happy so he doesnā€™t kick him off like he did Ian. Unfollowed officially after a couple months of skipping through 90% of the episodes. Do better guys, I know you can.
  • hilareebrand
    Awe man!
    I have loved this podcast for ever but now itā€™s a lot of in between banter not related to ghost stories . Brennan never misses an opportunity to jab at people he doesnā€™t agree with. The world is already so full of things that divide us. Canā€™t we just unite in our love for ghost stories?
  • Margotā€™s world
    Number One
    I canā€™t remember how I found you two but you are now my number one podcast! I had to go back to the beginning at some point and was shocked to hear Ianā€™s voice!! Of course I didnā€™t know anything about the past but I absolutely love Paul as the new sidekick!!
  • @aspen$12
    Really annoying
    They talk way too much about themselves šŸ™ƒ
  • AnzioB75

    Love this podcasts look forward to it Thanks to Brennan
  • DaSpookySpaceKook
    Stick to the ghost shores
    80 percent useless banter. 20 percent ghost stories. No one cares you smoke weed.
  • 1904 Tito
    Still my top 3 shows!!!
    Iā€™ve loved this since day one and itā€™s still going strong!! Itā€™s not just about the paranormal but how Brennan and Paul always make the time to talk about mental health. Iā€™ve had some very dark and low times in the past few years and itā€™s not easy to hear people talk about getting help, especially when you feel like no one listens. The constant reminders really make a difference and if you help just one person itā€™s worth it! Thanks guys love the show!!!
