Every Stitch Has a Ghost Story with Tammie Chavez | Hollyweird Paranormal

Nick Groff: Consciousness, Ghosts, Trauma & The Devil's Mark

Nick Groff joins The Haunted Therapist for a deep conversation about consciousness, death, intuition, trauma, psychic experiences, and the paranormal. Rather than focusing on evidence alone, we explore bigger questions: What happens when we die? What is consciousness? Can trauma make someone more sensitive to paranormal experiences? Are some hauntings actually thoughtforms created by human intention? Nick also shares the story behind his new documentary, The Devil's Mark, which examines generational trauma, addiction, family dysfunction, and a mysterious attachment that may have followed one family for decades. Topics discussed: • Consciousness and survival after death • Near-death experiences • Trauma and psychic sensitivity • Thoughtforms and manifestation • The Devil's Mark • Intuition and paranormal investigation • Lily Dale • Experience vs expertise in the paranormal Because whether your ghosts are internal or external… they deserve to be heard and understood.

Tessa Groff: Mediumship, Mental Health & Following Your Calling

Psychic medium Tessa Groff joins The Haunted Therapist for a conversation that goes far beyond ghost stories. Tessa shares how a childhood near-death experience opened the door to mediumship, what it was like growing up with psychic abilities, and how her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling shaped the way she helps people today. Together, Brett and Tessa explore the overlap between therapy and mediumship, intuition versus anxiety, raising sensitive children, grief, healing, and the idea that some people may be called toward helping professions and paranormal work alike. They also discuss how Tessa met Nick Groff, the inspiration behind Groff Adventures, and why helping families remains at the heart of everything they do. Because whether your ghosts are internal or external… they deserve to be heard and understood. 🖤

Tammie Chavez of Hollyweird Paranormal joins me for a conversation about storytelling, creativity, ethics, and the paranormal. Together we explore how growing up around ghost stories, working in haunted theaters, and investigating the unexplained shaped her path. We discuss her unique Haunted Thread project, which brings historical figures and ghost stories to life through costume design, as well as the emotional impact of paranormal experiences, trust, intuition, and the connections people form through this community. This episode is less about proving ghosts exist and more about understanding why stories, mystery, wonder, and meaning continue to matter.
