The next best thing to experiencing something yourself is to hear people talk about their interests, sharing their experiences and stories. And the best stories are those that come from passion - striving to overcome obstacles on your way to succeeding in your chosen field, funny anecdotes, hardships endured. "Release The Geek" is our weekly forum to chat to people who are geeky about something - they could be successful, semi-so, or on their way to achieving a level of it but they've all got one thing in common - passion. Can't replicate it. And we want to share their experiences, their hurdles, their stories with the greater geek populace (or anyone who would care to).

episode 2: RTG Presents: Urbane Myths Episode 2 - A Homegrown Haunting
Everyone’s had that feeling - a sense that they’re not alone in the dark. Naturally, we don’t often seek these feelings out and when we do, it is usually in the controlled environment of a horror film, a video game or a theme park attraction. Then there are the ghosthunters, paranormal investigators who actively seek these places out. I got to have a sit down with one such investigator where we spoke at length about her experiences. She told me about the known consequences of ghost hunting: of cold spots and a sense being watched. And then she told me about the time her work followed her home.
