Get in, loser, we're going to Patrick's least favorite state! He's not happy about it, but if you're going to cover some rich peoples' ghosts, you're going to have to get some Rhode Island in there.

This is the story of Belcourt Castle. Come for the ghosts, stay for Paw-Paw’s pickles; the esotericist, for sure; no one bothers me down in the gutter; the first space laser; sexiest city in New England; The Birds or The Three Amigos; the chimpanzee is getting ripsh*t; and the only escape is mouth.

Kells Irish Pub. You would think it would be a possessive proper noun, wouldn't you? Kell's? No? Are we the only nerds who listen to this podcast? Screw you guys. Whatever.

This is the story of Kells Irish Pub. Come for the ghosts, stay for: the orthodontists of the legal world; delicious toast; you’re not the straight man, right?; Sioux-veneers; fort support; little toesies in this bag; now we have no broth; the City Slickers rule; is that a dark roast?; and smugshot.

Well hush my puppies, we're heading to a South Carolina restaurant for this week's episode of Is This a Ghost? (And yes, there are actual puppies.)

This is the story of Poogan's Porch. Come for the ghosts, stay for Patrick’s swimsuit area infection; please send hush puppies; the Let’s Rebuild the South Olympic event; it’s a dry, normal shower; not enough skritches; 450 for eternity?; get this hot, hot blood out of my body.
