In this episode of Paranormal Playback, Char, Mel, and Lor dig into Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 6: “Living Dead on La Brea.” The team discusses the Hollywood Women’s Club’s eerie history—once a girls' school turned socialite haunt, now possibly cursed ground where bones have allegedly been unearthed. They unpack suspicious details surrounding the property's haunted past, including a notorious white supremacist preacher, mysterious feuds, ghostly girls in vintage clothes, and an unresolved case of potentially human remains. Plus, they dish on a raw-chicken-like re-enactment, Zach's mustard-fueled dramatics, and the weirdest 1940s bar cosplay moment yet.

Paranormal Playback is your weekly deep dive into spooky reality TV—ghost hunts, dramatic reenactments, and enough EVP to raise the dead. Hosted by creative directors Charlie Holley, Melanie Malone, & Lauren Sanders.

In this second half of the Ghost Adventures Rispin Mansion investigation, the Paranormal Playback crew dives deeper into ritual circles, EMF spikes, and a surprisingly dramatic feud between two paranormal investigators. Zak believes he's communicating with Henry Rispin himself—though Mel, Char, and Lor aren’t convinced. The team debates suspicious stick-figure sightings, questionable tech gadgets, and a bizarre claim about a missing little girl that no one can verify. From ghostly gossip to haunted gadgets, it’s another unhinged ride through the haunted chaos of Zak’s world, complete with demon burps, nuns with unfinished business, and possibly the most dramatic historian rivalry ever aired.

In this episode of Paranormal Playback, Char, Mel, and Lor recap the first half of Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 5, which investigates the supposedly haunted Rispin Mansion in Capitola, California. In This Old Haunt, Mel explains the mansion’s tragic history set forth by it’s irresponsible owner, Henry Allen Rispin. Whose resort dreams were crushed by the Great Depression, leading to foreclosure and personal tragedy. The building later became a cloistered convent for the Poor Clares, barefoot nuns whose presence may have left a spiritual imprint on the space. Despite rich history and eerie folklore—including ghost sightings and a man who allegedly fell to his death—the hosts are skeptical of Ghost Adventures’ claims and leaning too heavily on exaggerations of curses, cults, and Native American spirits. They poke fun at Zak Bagans’ theatrics, reenactments, and missed storytelling opportunities, especially around the mansion’s unique convent years. The episode ends with a preview of part two, where they’ll cover the investigation itself.
