What do you give a hungry hobgoblin for dinner?

On the Planet Waves FM Halloween edition, I unravel the mystery of an entity banished to a church spire in an exorcism 170 years ago — then set free in July 2022. Also eclipses and Mars retrograde.

Offering to a hungry hobgoblin in the belfry of an old church — squash, an apple, a biscuit, some honey, some DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps, sage, frankincense and a little jar of tobacco. Oh, and a pencil and some paper because he asked for it.

On Tonight’s Planet Waves FM presented by Chiron Return, I have an actual ghost story for you, suitable for mature kids and teens. When the pre-Revolutionary War-era Dewitt family excavated some 17th century graves in a search for ancestral DNA this past summer, they inadvertently dug up a skeleton key that was containing an entity called a hobgoblin in captivity in the nearby church spire.

Find out what happened in this most unusual edition of Planet Waves FM. Running time on the interview (presented separately) is about 75 minutes. At about one hour into the regular program (top player), I introduce the topic and my involvement with the project, with some background, and audio from our expedition into the church tower when we brought the hobgoblin a gift. (This took place the night after the interview.)

This all happens in and around the Old Dutch Church of Kingston, New York. The program has suggestions for how to handle ghost events, which I also cover in the article Tales from the Other Side of Astrology (paywall removed).
