According to a 2022 YouGov poll: 67% of Americans believe they have had a paranormal experience.

Ghosts: 41% of Americans believe in ghosts, and 20% say they have encountered one. Women are more likely to have had a personal experience with a ghost than men.

Attorney Lisa Martin and Journalist Joshua Heston host Dark Ozarks. Both are explorers, researchers and investigators of all things paranormal in the Ozarks.

Call it fate or synchronicity, their first meeting was in a cemetery. The book I landed on in my spontaneous search for paranormal news will be their first co-writing endeavor. Due out in 2024, their topic is the Joplin Spooklight. Source.

The Ozarks is full of interesting stories that run the gamut of all things Fortean: Paranormal, UFO, Folklore, Odd, Mystery and True Crime. Lisa and I talk about Sasquatch, UFOs, Hauntings and some of her personal encounters.

Info: Dark Ozarks is an exploration of the dark history, mysteries, legends, folklore, and hauntings of the Ozarks, including the connections you don't expect. Often there's "No Easy Answers".

Hosted by Joshua Heston and Lisa Livingston Martin.

One of the haunted sites Lisa mentions is the Villisca Axe Murder House.

History: Someone - murderer or murderers - bludgeoned to death the entire family of Josiah Moore and two overnight guests on June 10,1912. Ghost Hunting investigations are booked year round at this site: Link.

Why is the site popular with ghost hunters?

"Visits by paranormal investigators have provided audio, video and photographic proof of paranormal activity. Tours have been cut short by children's voices, falling lamps, moving ladders and flying objects. Psychics have confirmed the presence of spirits dwelling in the home and many have actually communicated with them, and skeptics have left believers."
