Live with Tammie M Chavez from Hollyweird Paranormal

What happens when a New Orleans-born costume designer moves to Hollywood and starts seeing ghosts on every film set and haunted theater she works in? You get Tammie Merheb Chavez -- paranormal investigator, podcast host, practicing bruja, and one of the most distinctive voices in the paranormal community. Raised on a rich blend of Honduran, Lebanese, and New Orleans folklore, Tammie saw her first full-body apparition while working in a haunted theater in college, and never looked back. She went on to co-create the Hollyweird Paranormal Podcast, become a consultant for Ghost Adventures, and develop her boundary-pushing project Haunted Threads, where she builds period-accurate costumes for famous ghosts and brings their stories to life.

In this episode, Tammie takes Gary and John on a wild ride through some of the most memorable investigations of her career, from nearly falling asleep in the notoriously hyped Sally House in Kansas to conducting a spirit box session partially in Spanish during a live Ghost Adventures shoot. She unpacks her deep-rooted belief system, explains how a vintage suit from a Burbank shop turned out to be very much occupied, and shares why she thinks a ghost can be everything from residual energy to a parallel dimension traveler. She also gets candid about what it is really like to be a woman of color in a field still dominated by guys in black t-shirts.  Let’s dive into the conversation with Tammie Merheb Chavez.
