Ghosted: A Paranormal Podcast covers everything ghostly. The host, Lisa Spirit, is a retired mortician who loves all things scary. Of course, not every episode can be jam packed with verifiable spookiness, so she occasionally takes calls from her loyal listeners. This week, Jimmy McJames calls in with a bizarre issue in the kitchen.


This podcast has a Halloweeny background track that fades in and out. I recorded the intro with as little background noise as possible, trying to sound somewhere between an amateur podcaster and a professional. The ringtone was added to signal the caller segment. I added distortion to “Jimmy McJames'” call, making it sound like he was calling from a less-than-stellar connection. I also slightly distorted the toaster sounds to match them with “Jimmy’s” voice.

Missing a bit of context…

For my particular crop I was debating what to do when I found this photo I took hiding in my phone folders. Me and my mother had gone to Wendy’s and were waiting on our food when we suddenly found ourselves with an oversized and far too realistic hood ornament. He got off when we left and was perfectly fine, but it was a real shock when he first hopped on! I kinda couldn’t help but snap a picture to share with my friends to laugh about the situation.

One thing I didn’t expect was one friend assuming that this happened to just be a particularly big bird!

Which lead to think of how I wanted to crop the image, see if there was a way to play up the silliness of that to try and see if he could seem bigger. I remembered my friend mentioning that they were able to correct themselves due to the car hood so I decided to remove that to see if it would work. I think it did! I also tried to omit the building to the side to remove further context clues for the bird’s height…

Now imagine this running you down in the parking lot for your fries!
