In 1982, an 18-year-old dropped dead after playing the arcade game Berzerk — and decades of half-truths, copycat rumors, and a real murder at the same machine turned it into legend. We separate fact from fiction on the Berzerk curse and its shadowy cousin, Polybius, the government mind-control game that may or may not have ever existed.

Some houses aren't haunted — they're held up. This episode digs into 17th-century witch bottles, 1,900+ documented concealed shoes sealed into historic homes, and the family members quietly erased from history — illegitimate children, hidden relatives, anyone who broke a taboo severe enough to get them written out of the family Bible while their body stayed exactly where it had always been.

We trace it from folk magic and archaeology all the way into psychology: the "Third Resident" phenomenon, where living occupants unconsciously adopt the exact habits of a home's previous residents, and Nicolas Abraham & Mária Török's theory of the family "Phantom" — how an unspoken secret gets passed down to children who never lived it. The conclusion is the same whether you're talking about a ghost or a buried family secret: it only stops haunting you once someone says the name out loud.

Lisa answers questions from listeners

Life gets lifey—even when you are deeply spiritual, doing your healing work, and trying to stay connected to your magic.

In this episode, I sit down with Wendy Mata, author of Bruja Curandera: Spells and Rituals from a Mexican Healer and Witch, to talk about ancestor work, limpias, spiritual bypassing, and what it really means to become a magical person.

We talk about building a reciprocal relationship with your ancestors, setting boundaries with spirits, calling back the parts of yourself that were lost through trauma, and using cleansing work to release what no longer belongs to you. Wendy also shares why magic works best alongside therapy, medical care, practical support, and the very human process of feeling what you feel.

We also explore cultural appropriation, closed practices, and the difference between respectfully learning from a tradition and claiming authority you have not earned.

This is a grounded conversation about healing, responsibility, ancestry, and remembering that you are the magic.

This episode is an interview with Banah Winn. A musician who has created a community surrounded around Golden ratio frequencies. Frequencies that I am now hooked on and use daily to raise my vibration. Thank you Banah!

A word from Banah:

Hi, I’m Banah Winn.

I created Harmony — a living ecosystem built around Golden Ratio Frequencies, music, and conscious growth.

What started as sound experiments turned into a global community of thousands using frequency to regulate their nervous system, sleep deeper, and reconnect to themselves.

Inside Harmony, we explore sound, creativity, alignment, and business — not as separate things, but as one integrated life.

Online, through the community.
