In this episode I sit down with Katie Jo Glesing. Katie is an academic researcher and the founder of Boo812 a non profit aimed at empowering people to do their own paranormal investigations. We talk about her start in academic research, filming a TV show with "real" vampires, and her upcoming venture into the world haunted attractions and being scared for fun.

Note: We mention "The Mediums" which is a hybrid show I did with Boo812 where I recreated a Victorian Seance in a truly haunted location and then we followed up with a full overnight investigation.

Episode Description

In this episode, I sit down with librarian and author Courtney Block to talk about how she found her way into the paranormal, what drew her into academic research, and why libraries end up being unexpected hubs for weird stories. We get into the comfort people find in the paranormal, how our religious backgrounds shape what we believe, and why citizen science matters more than people think.
