    Ghost Stories Lab 001

    In our first Ghost Stories Lab, we cover our survey results and Reanetta tells about her experiences with premonitions, being a ghost, and seeing a ghost. Results from our first Ghost Stories Lab survey have started to roll in. This week we cover survey feedback from people who had ghost encounters when they were children, what emotions they experienced, as well as hear one story from a respondent who saw the ghost of a neighbor in the 1950s.  Reanetta gives her childhood account of her personal experiences as a child medium - from seeing her father after he passes to her first memory where she is floating over her crib.  WARNING! Loud bird sounds! This week we have 3 guests on the podcast sharing their stories, 2 guests are screaming birds so if the sound bothers you please skip over the orb story from minute 8 to minute 14.    Ghost Lab Survey: surveymonkey.com/r/gh0st   Instagram: instagram.com/giveuptheghoststories

    For our first episode, we discuss the portrayal of ghosts in The Sixth Sense. Watch the film ahead of time with us and be prepared for spoilers to abound! Then catch our stories about real child mediums from the 19th and 20th centuries.  Kellie covers the story of a baby medium whose family could communicate with ghosts through knocking and Shade covers a child "Poltergeist" medium haunted by Dracul and tested in a lab.  Catch us mid-week for a Ghost Stories Lab on child mediums where a guest tells their story about seeing ghosts as a child. We also review survey feedback to learn how The Sixth Sense stacks up against real ghost stories.  If you have a story to tell or if you would like to contribute to our research on ghosts and beliefs in the preternatural then fill out our survey: surveymonkey.com/r/gh0st Follow us on Instagram at giveuptheghoststories instagram.com/giveuptheghoststories/
