On this week's Halloween-themed episode, Craig Pittman shares Florida ghost stories before Craig and Chadd Scott talk with Tampa Bay Times reporter Paul Guzzo who has done outstanding work finding lost cemeteries in the Bay Area. The episode wraps up with a discussion of Craig's recent National Geographic article surrounding the end of greyhound racing in Florida.
