In this episode of Splintered Spirits, Gary and John talk with Steven Parsons, one of the UK’s most respected paranormal investigators and the author of Ghostology: The Art of the Ghost Hunter. Unlike the TV shows and viral ghost hunts built on flashing gadgets and jump scares, Steven approaches the supernatural with a scientist’s precision—studying how sound, psychology, and technology can both reveal and distort our perception of the unseen. Together, we explore why ghost hunting needs more skepticism and fewer theatrics, how audio and environmental data can uncover natural explanations for “hauntings,” and what social media is doing to reshape the way people experience the paranormal. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the science behind the spirits—and what happens when you stop chasing shadows and start asking better questions.
