Yesterday, Sources Say reported on Rob Bresnahan’s past… as a ghost hunter.
That’s right. Before Rob Bresnahan was breaking promises about trading stocks and riding around on his helicopter, he was hunting ghosts (and he was really scared).

Sources Say: SPIRITS AND SPIRITS: The Congressman Who Hunts Ghosts and Spots UFOs
By Juliegrace Brufke | 04/03/2026
We received a file on GOP Rep. Rob Bresnahan (Pa.) and there were two key takeaways. There was a questionable mid-2000s facial hair situation and evidence that he used to hunt ghosts. The scariest thing here might actually be the former but honestly, who among us didn’t make some questionable aesthetic choices during that era. We’re not here to throw stones.
Long before Congress, a 22-year-old Bresnahan was out at midnight in Northeastern Pennsylvania hunting ghosts with a crew of corrections officers. As one does.
Bresnahan is a pilot, a congressman and a self-described lifelong believer in the unexplained who ran with a nonprofit ghost hunting group that approached the supernatural the way cops approach a crime scene: methodically, seriously and with a lot of flashlights. He grew up in an old house with a long, weird history, so the interest came naturally. The group would head out overnight to locations around the area, investigating whatever needed investigating.
Eventually, he stopped. “A door shut that should never have shut in a closed room,” he says, “and that was enough to be done.” He didn’t want to, as he puts it, “fly too close to the sun.” Investigation over.
These days, two things keep him out of the game. No more midnight availability and a very firm personal policy. “I don’t like to open up the portals,” he says. “I like to keep a very clear separation of church and state.” The man has boundaries. Respect it.
And ghosts are just part of it. “I don’t believe that we are alone on the Earth,” he says, “and I don’t believe that we are alone inside of the solar system.” He’s seen something in the sky he can’t explain. He was on the ground, sober and as a licensed pilot he knows exactly what aircraft look like. It wasn’t on flight radar. It wasn’t broadcasting a signal, it was not explainable, according to the congressman.
His framework for all of it: if you wrapped a measuring tape around the equator of the Earth, everything humans can see with the naked eye covers just one inch of it. One inch. The rest? Wide open.
We’re not going to leave it there. Rep. Bresnahan promised us he’ll come on the pod to dig into all of it, the ghost hunting, the UFO and more!
