NPE means Not Parent Expected or Non-Paternity Event. What happens when the father named on the birth certificate is not really the biological father? This is one story out of many.

When a person finds out they have a different parent than they expected it can be shocking and almost universally, they blame their mother. If you are a mother who misattributed your baby's father either on the birth certificate or through what you told your child, I'd love to hear your side of the story.

Lin and her son, Joe discuss all sorts of things so they started recording their conversations. He’s a physicist and a mathematician while she's a little bit more woo. 

Lin tells Joe stories of things she thinks are really strange, a little scary, or downright paranormal and he goes there with her as far as his science brain can take him. 

Sometimes he has an explanation for how physics can explain something, but other times he calls BS.  And sometimes, just sometimes, Lin convinces him that there are things that defy explanation.

Come along and listen in to see if either of them changes your mind about how the universe works and what is actually truly terrifying or just a glitch in the matrix.

Listen to Truly Terrified: Paranormal versus Physics wherever you listen to podcasts.
