Episode 48 - Case Files - Yorktown Memorial Hospital - Part 2

Episode 55 - Ghosts of the American Revolution

On this episode, Christy and Kathy mark America’s 250th anniversary by exploring Revolutionary War history and the paranormal legends tied to it. They trace key events leading to the conflict after the French and Indian War, including British debt, colonial taxation without representation, the Boston Massacre (with Crispus Attucks), and the Boston Tea Party, before covering Paul Revere’s warning and the shot heard round the world at Lexington and Concord. The conversation then shifts to reported hauntings at major sites: George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Fort Mifflin and its “Screaming Lady,” Savannah’s Siege-era activity, and Yorktown’s surrender field, weighing emotional “imprints” against environmental and psychological explanations. They preview a future episode on paranormal influence in American culture and announce a switch to biweekly episode releases.

Episode 54 - Lucid Dreaming - Awake Within the Dream

On this episode, Christy and Kathy discuss lucid dreaming, defining it as awareness of dreaming with potential control, and contrasting it with astral projection as leaving the body. They review sleep stages, explaining lucid dreaming as an overlap of REM and waking consciousness and linking it to sleep paralysis. They cover why people dream and research evidence including a 2012 study using prearranged eye signals to prove lucidity and communication during REM. They also discuss spiritual interpretations and share anecdotal stories where uncontrollable figures in lucid dreams lead into sleep paralysis and perceived entities.

Episode 53 - Case Files - The Wind and Stone

In this case file episode, Christy and Kathy revisit The Wind and Stone in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma, a historic and antique amusement park and racetrack in the Quartz Mountains that now operates as a campground and event center, and review its layered history including Native ceremonial grounds, a former Army post, and a fatal July 4, 1964 racetrack accident that killed a four-year-old spectator. They outline reported activity—items falling from shelves, people feeling touched, a ghostly girl and a young woman seen on the grounds, voices, shadow figures, and doors opening and closing—while noting a security “orb” video likely caused by an insect on the lens. Across two investigations, they capture a childlike “mama” EVP outdoors, experience an unexplained door closing in the dorm hallway, observe lights switching on upstairs in the A-frame, record possible EVPs (“get/keep back,” “yeah”), hear loud knocks, see cat ball activations, and document an unusual whistling sound during an Estes session. Christy shares psychic impressions of a helpful male tied to the property, a dark-haired young girl linked to a fire, a playful child named Anna in the conference building, and a transient WWII-era military spirit.

Episode 52 - A Year of Questions, Doubts, Discoveries... and the Occasional Eye Roll

On their one-year anniversary episode, Christy and Kathy reflect on how the podcast grew from 2:00 AM debates, and their goal of balancing psychic and skeptical perspectives across case files, cryptids, and broader “abnormal” topics. They thank listeners and share statistics such as the top countries that have downloaded episodes. They answer questions and discuss popular episodes (Episode 1, Kendall’s, The Psychic, and an EVP episode), and favorites, key disagreements (photos, orbs), compelling EVPs (“din-din,” Beatty Mansion), disappointing cases, scariest locations, misconceptions, equipment skepticism, hot takes, and invite emails, stories, and future topic requests.

Episode 51 - Automatic Writing

In this episode, Christy and Kathy explore automatic writing—writing perceived as guided by spirits, the subconscious, or other external forces—and debate paranormal versus psychological explanations like the ideomotor effect, dissociation, cryptomnesia, and altered states. They trace the practice chronologically from ancient Chinese fuji spirit writing and the Oracle of Delphi’s trance traditions through medieval mysticism and occult associations, then to the 19th-century Spiritualist movement (including the Fox sisters) and prominent figures such as Pearl Curran (Patience Worth), Blavatsky, Swedenborg, Andrew Jackson Davis, Hildegard of Bingen, Helene Smith’s alleged Mars communications, and William Stainton Moses. Christy shares her own investigation experience with hand-controlled writing and both discuss potential dangers, spiritual protections, and listener outreach for stories.
