Scott's journey through the paranormal begins in a converted carriage house in southeastern Ohio, where childhood memories include an "imaginary friend," moving objects, and the terrifying nightly experience of something sitting on his bed, leaving visible depressions in the mattress. These haunting encounters coincided with escalating domestic violence between his parents, suggesting a malevolent presence influencing the household while paradoxically providing some form of protection for Scott himself.

The narrative takes a fascinating turn when Scott recounts summers spent with his grandparents in rural Eastern Kentucky. Here, he was introduced to "the calquer" – described by his great-grandfather as "big, white, and runs faster than any man could ever run." This regional term for a Bigfoot-like creature came with the ominous warning, "If you go outside at night, the booger will get you." Strange occurrences punctuated these visits: something mysteriously stealing chickens without leaving evidence, his grandmother leaving food on a stump that would disappear by morning, and an unforgettable hike with his grandfather where something large and unseen crashed through the forest nearby.

Most chilling is Scott's recent encounter with what appears to be a dogman – a massive, wolf-like creature that crossed the road with impossible speed and fluidity. Following this sighting, Scott began experiencing recurring dreams of living an alternate life with different-looking family members, dreams that have grown increasingly disturbing over time. His workplace has also become a hotspot for paranormal activity, with employees reporting shadow figures and unexplained noises.

Through these experiences spanning decades, Scott has developed a theory that various paranormal phenomena – from ghosts and demons to cryptids and extraterrestrials – may be interconnected in ways beyond our understanding. His accounts reveal the profound impact these encounters have had on his perception of reality and raise questions about what might exist beyond the veil of our everyday world.

The boundaries between our world and others blur in this riveting conversation with veteran paranormal investigator Tom, who happens to be the father of our host Luke. With decades of experience exploring the unexplained, Tom takes us through encounters that challenge conventional understanding of reality.

Tom recounts his most compelling experiences, including a chilling interaction with a fully-formed apparition of a little boy named Billy who appeared in period clothing from the 1800s. Unlike the transparent figures often depicted in popular media, Tom describes the child spirit as "pretty damn solid" before it vanished before his eyes. His former home was a hotspot for paranormal activity, from objects flying across rooms to shadowy figures walking through walls when no one else was present.

The conversation ventures into deeply personal territory when Tom shares a profound encounter with what may have been the spirit of an unborn child—his wife had experienced a miscarriage before their son Luke was born. Years later, a young woman approached Tom, called him "dad," and introduced herself before disappearing. This leads to fascinating philosophical questions about when consciousness begins and whether souls continue to develop after physical death.

Tom offers a compelling theory about dimensional frequencies, suggesting that spirits, cryptids like Bigfoot, and even extraterrestrial beings might exist on different vibrational planes that occasionally intersect with our own. "Humans are on a certain frequency and spirits are on a different frequency," he explains, comparing it to radio stations that surround us unseen until we tune to the right channel. This might explain why certain people—like Tom's partner Dawn who also joins the conversation—can perceive spiritual entities while others cannot.

From physical evidence of paranormal encounters that left Tom bleeding, to witnessed possessions during investigations, to unexplained screams in remote forests, this episode challenges listeners to reconsider what might be possible beyond our everyday perception. Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, Tom's open-minded approach invites us all to question: What if reality is far more expansive than we've been programmed to believe?

Dive into the extraordinary world of paranormal perception with Joy, an evidentiary psychic and medium from Postmortem Paranormal, as she shares her lifelong journey navigating abilities present since birth.

Joy takes us through her remarkable life story, beginning with childhood experiences in Kentucky's Bible Belt where her paranormal abilities were met with fear and religious intervention. At age four, she survived what she distinctly calls a "death experience" after being submerged in water for twenty minutes - an event that forever transformed her perception of reality and enhanced her already powerful psychic abilities.

What sets Joy apart is her unwavering commitment to science and logic. Rather than leaning on mystical explanations, she approaches spirit communication through the lens of energy science, providing specific, "un-Googleable" details in her readings that validate her connections. She describes in fascinating detail how her physical mediumship allows her to experience the death states of those who have crossed over, feeling car accidents, strokes, or illnesses in her own body during communications.

The conversation takes a remarkable turn when Joy reveals the story of her son Corey's apparent reincarnation experience. From toddlerhood, Corey spoke of "his soldiers" and dying at Gettysburg. When taken there at age five, he navigated to specific battle locations without guidance, displayed profound emotional distress, and even found "his" gravestone in a remote cemetery - only to completely forget these memories afterward. For those curious about developing their own intuitive abilities, Joy offers practical advice: journal experiences, recognize patterns, and build self-trust without ego involvement. She emphasizes that everyone possesses these gifts - the difference lies in learning to recognize and trust them. Ready to explore the boundaries between science and spirit? This episode will challenge your perceptions and open new possibilities for understanding the unseen world around us.
