Trish has been investigating the paranormal for over a decade, and her time in the field has given her no shortage of encounters to share.

In this episode, Gabriel and Raven sit down with author and researcher Maxim Furek to learn more about his background, his work, and what led him into the world of the paranormal. We touch on his books — including The Smurl Haunting: When Ed and Lorraine Warren Came to Town — but this conversation quickly went beyond titles.

We ended up diving into all kinds of theories and experiences, exploring topics like Bigfoot, UFOs, psychology, folklore, and the patterns behind unexplained encounters. What started as a discussion about his books turned into something much bigger — so big that we already know we’ll need a second episode with Maxim.
