Show Notes for Saturday April 11 & Sunday April 12, 2020



Today we talk with Richel Stratton and Brian Murray about Season 2 of Ghost Hunters on A & E. In season 2 of A&E’s Ghost Hunters, the team heads into uncharted territory to be the first to investigate reports of paranormal phenomena in some of the nation’s most remote locations. Their journey takes them to isolated, distant corners of the United States where they confront extreme conditions and desolate terrain. The team seeks out forgotten worlds where darkness and death plague residents who have been forced to live with the unknown.

Despite mysterious and unnerving warnings from locals, the Ghost Hunters face their fears and stay on mission: to help people confront terrifying paranormal encounters that have shaken them to their core. In doing so, they capture their most compelling, persuasive evidence in over a decade. New episodes of Ghost Hunters will air Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT following the two episode premiere on April 8 beginning at 8pm ET/PT.

Paranormal investigator Richel Stratton has been ghost hunting for a decade, with most of her investigations conducted independently. She joined her most recent team in Illinois two years ago and has participated in over 40 investigations with the group ranging from private residences to historic haunted locations like the once-spectacular Mineral Springs Hotel, former psychiatric hospital Ashmore Estates, and the storied Malvern Manor. As an investigator, Richel believes there are things out there we don’t fully understand, but she needs hard evidence to prove a haunting is real.

Former Marine Corps Platoon Sergeant Brian Murray is a paranormal investigator on the “Ghost Hunters” team. Brian uses his military experience to bring an organized, structured approach to each investigation, from creating a plan and assigning tasks to overseeing “the mission” from start to finish. Brian founded his most recent team, Riverbend Paranormal, in 2007 and has conducted more than 200 investigations, many of them in private homes. Brian values the importance of evidence review as an arduous multistep process and believes that, “in this business, nobody has all the right answers except for the dead themselves.”

FUN FACT FOR YOU:Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!

Humans aren't the only species to adopt. We've seen the heartwarming videos of dogs nursing baby squirrels back to health—and that's actually much more common than we think. It becomes mutually beneficial to have more furry friends in the group to take on other roles in survival—whether that be hunting, gathering, or just simply cute companionship. Though the phenomenon isn't completely understood, it's clear that both humans and animals have an instinct to care for others.

Police last night broke up a funeral in New Jersey and charged fifteen men--including a 100-year-old mourner--with violating the state’s ban on public gatherings during the coronavirus crisis. According to police, officers found “about sixty to seventy individuals gathered for a funeral” on a street corner in Lakewood around 6:30 p.m. When cops sought to disperse the individuals who had gathered, “the crowd became unruly and argumentative.” Police subsequently charged fifteen men with violating the coronavirus safety order. The busted group included Nossom Strulovic, a 100-year-old resident of Lakewood. Police in the south Jersey township have cited dozens of individuals for gathering in defiance of the state mandate. Lakewood, which includes a significant population of Orthodox Jewish residents, has seen a higher percentage of COVID-19 cases than other areas in Ocean County. Law enforcement officials have expressed frustration that some members of the Orthodox community have prioritized religious gatherings over the state’s stay-at-home order. (https://bit.ly/345WTNI)
