EP 14: The New Yorker who talks to Ghosts

Courtney has been seeing ghosts for as long as she can remember.
At first, she kept it to herself—unsure if anyone would believe her. But after opening up, she realized this ability wasn’t just hers alone. It ran deep in the family.
What began as a secret became a calling.
She started Jaunty Haunts, a podcast where ghost stories are shared with humor, honesty, and just the right amount of spookiness. Now she’s built a community for people who’ve experienced the unexplainable and don’t want to feel so alone anymore.
In this special crossover, Courtney joins Justin and Josh to talk about hauntings, family secrets, and why making space for joy and weirdness might be the best way to navigate the paranormal.
