    2026 Predictions with Jacob Mayfield

    New Year’s Predictions 2026: Automatic Writing, Scrying & Tarot Guest: Jacob Mayfield As we step across the threshold into 2026, Ghostly Podcast looks to the other side—using ancient divination practices to glimpse what the coming year may hold. For our annual New Year’s Predictions episode, we’re joined by Jacob Mayfield, who helps guide us through three forms of divination: Automatic Writing, Crystal Ball Scrying, and Tarot. This episode is part ritual, part experiment, and part prediction. Two of the divinations -Automatic Writing and Scrying – are interactive, meaning you can follow along and try them yourself at home as we do them in real time. Join Ghostly Society on Facebook or Patreon to see our results. Will the messages be symbolic? Psychological? Paranormal? Or something else entirely? That’s for you to decide. Divination #1: Automatic Writing We begin with Automatic Writing, a practice said to allow messages to flow from the subconscious—or possibly from something beyond—without conscious control. Listeners are invited to: · Set an intention for 2026 · Quiet their mind · Write continuously without editing or judgment As we write alongside you, we interpret the messages that emerge and discuss what they may reveal about themes, warnings, and opportunities in the year ahead. Divination #2: Crystal Ball Scrying Next, we turn to scrying with a crystal ball, one of the most iconic and misunderstood forms of divination. Together, we: · Explain how to prepare your space · Describe what to look for (and what not to look for) · Share what we personally experience during the scrying session Shadows, symbols, impressions, and mental imagery all come into play as we explore what 2026 may bring on a collective level. Divination #3: Tarot Reading Finally, we close with a Tarot reading for 2026, offering a structured look at the energies shaping the year ahead. The cards reveal: · Major themes and challenges · Areas of growth and transformation · Advice for navigating what’s coming We discuss the symbolism of each card and how it may apply broadly—or very personally—depending on the listener. Participate or Just Listen About our Guest Jacob Mayfield joins us for this episode to lend insight, interpretation, and grounded discussion as we explore these divination practices and what they might reveal about the year ahead. Jacob is “passionate about all things mystical, especially Tarot and Palm reading…[combining] traditional methods of divination and fortune-telling with a contemporary perspective.” What Do You See? Are these predictions glimpses of the future, reflections of the present, or something more mysterious? Listen, participate, and decide for yourself.

    179 Ringwood Mines

    In this episode of Ghostly, we explore the dark history and chilling ghost stories surrounding New Jersey’s Ringwood Mine and Ringwood Manor. From centuries-old mining tragedies to lantern-lit apparitions wandering the woods, Ringwood remains one of the state’s most active paranormal locations. History of Ringwood Iron mining in Ringwood began in the 1740s and eventually reached nearly 2,000 feet underground. Dangerous working conditions and numerous accidents left a long history of tragedy. During the Revolutionary War, the mines were operated by Robert Erskine, Washington’s surveyor general—whose spirit is said to linger to this day. Hauntings & Evidence The Hand in the Water – Archaeologist Edward Lenik reported seeing a pale hand and arm rise from a flooded mine shaft on Hope Mountain before being pulled back beneath the surface. The Knocking Ghost – Miners heard mysterious knocking sounds deep underground, always before an accident. Some believed it was a protective warning; others said a dead miner was calling for “company.” Robert Erskine’s Lantern – After Erskine’s crypt deteriorated, locals claimed to see his apparition—and even his skeleton—walking between the grave and Ringwood Manor, carrying a glowing blue lantern. Blue Lights in the Manor – Visitors have reported glowing blue figures, cold spots, disembodied voices, and footsteps inside the manor, believed by some to be Erskine or a later resident. A Modern Encounter – A local historian working late in the manor witnessed a translucent figure by the window holding a faintly glowing lantern, vanishing moments later.

    178 Sterling Hill Mine

    Beneath the quiet town of Ogdensburg, New Jersey, lies the Sterling Hill Mine, a labyrinth of tunnels stretching deep into the earth—and, some say, into the afterlife. With more than 77 recorded deaths and countless stories of strange lights, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures, this mine has earned a chilling reputation as one of New Jersey’s most haunted places.

    177 Marilyn Monroe

    She was Hollywood’s brightest star — a woman whose beauty, talent, and tragedy defined an era. But for Marilyn Monroe, death didn’t end the performance. Since that August night in 1962, her spirit has been seen all across Los Angeles — sitting quietly on a bench at the Santa Monica Pier, gliding past mirrors at the Roosevelt Hotel, or drifting like a soft pink mist above her grave at Westwood Cemetery. Some say she’s searching for peace. Others think she simply loved the limelight too much to ever step away. Either way, one thing’s certain — in Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe will always have top billing.

    Even after his tragic death outside the Dakota Apartments, many believe John Lennon’s spirit never left. In this episode, Ghostly explores sightings of Lennon’s ghost, Yoko Ono’s haunting encounters, and strange happenings in the recording studio. Is Lennon still sending messages of peace from beyond the grave—or are these echoes of a legend that refuses to fade?

    175 Joan Crawford

    Hollywood glamour, scandal, and ghosts — this episode of Ghostly Podcast takes you inside the haunted legacy of screen legend Joan Crawford. From chilling childhood memories to walls that mysteriously burst into blue flame, her Brentwood mansion has terrified owners for decades. Was it Joan herself still holding onto fame beyond the grave, or something darker feeding off her energy? Pat and Rebecca debate one of Tinseltown’s eeriest hauntings — and even spin across the dance floor with a brief look at the Polish Disco Demon, a spirit said to come alive through rhythm and light.
