    S7E77 The Scole Experiment

    The Scole Experiment has brought so much into the paranormal field of study. Disembodied voices, levitation, apports, and so much more. So why isn’t it being discussed more in the paranormal community?  Listen in as Nick and Josh dissect this amazing set of experiments and ask bigger questions about American paranormal investigating.  This isn’t just a new season for us, this is a whole new mindset into studying topics that aren’t often discussed and bringing new methods of thinking into the paranormal. Strap in, folks, this season is going to be chock full of new topics that aren’t necessarily pieces of new equipment and/or locations, but rather old techniques with verifiable evidence and thought processes not meant for paranormal TV.  Stories in the Cemetery Logo provided by April McGirr Designs.

What tactics and personality traits can we obtain from this classic cartoon?  This may seem silly, but the mindset from most of today’s novice ghost hunters came from watching titles like “Zombie Island” and “Ghoul School”. Listen to this week’s episode as Nick and Josh dive into this classic animated ghost hunting team and see how it may relate to today's ghost hunting methods.  Music “Renegade by Beatnik.
