Amy Beauchamp documents her travel across two continents to descend into the country of Nigeria, Africa. She is researching the supernatural weave of an ancient land amidst a modernizing culture that is still predominantly tribal.

After spending two years building several networks across the Northern belt of Africa, she embeds herself with a Nigerian family to learn what it is like on the ground in a population of 200+ million Nigerians...where many are still practicing the ancient pagan Yoruba religion that would eventually evolve into VooDoo and Santeria in other parts of the world.

*Podcasts in this series often contain controversial themes and salty language.

**Music by MonkeyMind Music Group.

Mediums and Paranormal Strategists Amy Beauchamp, Erin Monroe & GeeDee Carey converge about their Medium’s trunk of oddities…a story of spiritual redemption and luggage envy! 

It’s a paranormal ‘Crafternoon’ with next level gear & cartage that goes off the rails in epic Pandora’s Jar fashion. Kate Spade wishes and Betsy Johnson-style caviar dreams twist and turn into a nod to an actual spirit possession experience from the field. It’s a regular any day kind of discussion for the Pandora’s Jar Paranormal Team.

On this episode: GeeDee gets Amy & Erin weighing in on navigating in and around black bag mountain…that by default, accumulates at every paranormal investigation site. Erin provides her travel approach with carting paranormal gear and mystical items by air. GeeDee swims in selenite where more is always better, then veers off into ghost rudeness at restaurants, which triggers Erin and Amy to share their frustrations with the general lack of ghost etiquette. Amy switches up her pre-assessment game on investigative prep. GeeDee explains why advanced hits from planned field investigations can create potential chaos leading up to the visit. Erin shares her analogue approach to active sites. Amy bridles at all the latest tech gear, and appreciates analogue for what it is. She shares more of the spiritual items that populate her cartage-road show on the go. Erin talks about dietary needs going into an investigation via air travel. GeeDee opens up the convo for loud snacks during evidence collection, while Amy boosts a curbside food truck idea. GeeDee talks about the jarring effect of current investigators descending onto a paranormal location. Amy takes her tricked-out luggage haul to the next level with acute recovery items. Erin brings up Claire getting possessed while on location, with GeeDee and Amy weighing on their take. Talk of possession turns into channeling and some of the pitfalls. Amy waxes poetic about tricked-out vans for the treatment side, and it inspires all kinds of ideas for Erin and GeeDee. GeeDee remembers the attempted hand signals fail and Amy goes all Tomb Raider. The Mediums devolve into investigative trends they would rather de-trend. GeeDee and Amy agree why relying solely on evidence to determine a haunted location is the least favorable way to go. GeeDee veers off onto a tangent about ghosts and spirits during a séance, and then circles back around to gear with Frank’s Box at a TAPS event.
