Episode 28 - The Mandela Effect: Did We Remember It Wrong... or Did Something Change?
What if thousands of people remember something that never happened? This weeks episode I dive into the Mandela Effect, the strange phenomenon where large groups of people share the same incorrect memory. From The Berenstain Bears to famous movie quotes we all swear are real, I explore why our brains might be rewriting reality. https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-mandela-effect-4589394 https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/mandela-effect https://www.snopes.com/tag/mandela-effect/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXoWiIuB25o&t=19s ...

Episode 27 - Victorian Era Mourning Practices
Our episode this week explores Victorian era mourning practices, like post-mortem photography and the strict mourning rituals that shaped how 19th-century families remembered and honored their dead. Far from being purely macabre, these practices include societal customs and cherished keepsakes, reflecting a culture tragically struck with repeated losses. Join us as we discuss how love and grief were preserved long after life had ended. Thank you for joining us, we're so glad you're here!

Episode 26 - Haunted Objects: The Chair of Death, Peggy the Doll and Letta the Doll
This week, we’re unlocking the display case of the truly unsettling. From glassy-eyed dolls that seem to move when no one’s looking, to a seemingly ordinary chair with an unthinkable past, this episode dives into objects that have captivated people for decades and in some cases, centuries. Are these just creepy coincidences… or do some objects really absorb evil? Listener discretion is advised—because after this episode, you might never look at antiques the same way again.

Episode 25 - 911 Calls: The Case of Denise Amber Lee and The Case of Janelle Hornickel and Michael Wamsley

In this episode, we explore the often comforting, and sometimes unsettling world of imaginary friends. From childhood companions who help make sense of the world to the deeper psychological meanings behind them, we ask why imaginary friends exist.

Are they just a phase, or something more? Thank you for being here, we appreciate you! Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11136338/

Episode 22 - Premonitions and Plane Crashes
In this episode, we explore two beyond tragic plane crashes that changed life as we know it. Last-minute decisions, unexplained feelings, and hesitation, are these moments just coincidence, or do they suggest something deeper about human intuition? Through real stories we explore how the brain looks for meaning after tragedy. Are premonitions evidence of something extraordinary or a reflection of how humans process fear and uncertainty?
