And That's Why We Drink

Listener Stories: Vol. 117 featuring. For Better And Worse

July is here and we are turning warts into wine with our ParaPods Network pals Rach and Jeri from the podcast For Better and Worse! Today we're sharing a batch of wild and slightly terrifying stories about skeptic partners, featuring bedside EMF detectors, ghost fingerprints, several woman spirits that will haunt our dreams, and even one encounter that left a skeptic with a whole new perspective on the afterlife. And does anyone else have partners that sleep like Victorian children or is that just us? …and that’s why we drink! Want to hear more from Rach and Jeri?
