PhDParanormal

Join Drs. Ed and Evan as they explore the world of noisy ghosts: poltergeists. In this time traveled episode from the past (yes, Dr. Ed just got it edited) we learn about Maria Jose Ferreira in Jaboticabal in Brazil, a young woman tormented to suicide by a reported poltergeist. And dear listeners... forgive us our inability to pronounce words in Portuguese. We then travel to London for the story of Alma Fielding and her alleged sticky fingered abilities. Lastly, we tell the story of the Black Monk of Pontefract, in what might have been Britain's own Amityville.

Ultimately, what is the difference between a ghost and a poltergeist? 

Happy Halloween friends!

Join Drs. Ed and Evan for their annual telling of spooky stories for Halloween. Yes, ripped from the internet and urban legend we hope that these tales make you feel just a little creepy as you head to bed.

We have a brief update on Dr. Ed's technology "demon" before we start telling scary tales. Also, Dr. Evan knows more about horror movies than the Halloween trivia Dr. Ed surprised her with suggests. 

We're back! This week Drs. Ed and Evan explore haunted campuses across the country. Why aren't there any vampires at Transylvania University in Kentucky? Why are there so many ghosts at Smith College in Massachusetts (one of Dr. Evan's favorite places ever)? Is there actually a haunted dorm room at Ohio University? And do Civil War soldiers hang out with students at Gettysburg College? This is a jam packed episode! 

We're back for season 4!

Summer break may be over, but the summer heat is hanging on. So let's travel to the British isles, have a pint, and learn about haunted pubs/inns! Dr Evan discusses two Black Swan Inns - one in Devizes, the other in York - and wonders why you'd leave out a cursed chair. Dr. Ed takes us to a VERY old home, the Ancient Rams Inn, which may be home to a succubus. Are there any 1,000 year old buildings that AREN'T haunted? As always, thank you for listening and share this episode with your friends!

Join Drs. Edwin and Evan as they take you on goofy tales of terror in haunted Appalachia. Embracing the spirit of the Midwest Goodbye (it's the end of Season 3 friends!) the episode wanders the Appalachian Trail, introduces you to the Pink Lady, sprinkles in a bit of true crime (remember everything outside--especially humans--want to kill you), dabbles in some ghostly tickle fetish, and introduces you to capitalisms favorite alien tree ghost monster thing! Something for everyone!

Join Drs. Evan and Edwin in an exploration of the creepy world of urban legends. Dr. Evan provides a definition before Dr. Ed tells us about Screaming Jenny and Batsquatch. We then travel south for a discussion of La Llorona. Along the journey you will learn of Dr. Evan's fashion choices and Dr. Edwin's position on the off putting nature of clowns. We end with Dr. Ed's retelling of Tailypo, an Appalachian legend. Enjoy this season's penultimate episode and share with us the urban legends that scared you!

Join Drs. Ed and Evan as they walk you through three stories of demon activity. Dr. Ed walks us through some interesting history of the term demon before we get to the crux of the matter. Who, or what, was harassing the Pomeraning family in Merrill, Michigan? Was Anneliese Michel possessed or suffering from a debilitating form of epilepsy? And is it ethical for 20/20 to show an exorcism on TV as it did in 1991? Also join us for spring break tales including a trip to Tennessee and meeting a dog on a motorcycle. Also, Trader Joe's makes Dr. Evan irrationally angry. 

Join Dr. Evan as she takes Dr. Ed on a trip to Cincinnati, Ohio, one of her favorite cities. First stop: Cincinnati Music Hall! Do the ghosts of those buried beneath roam its halls? And why do they call Cincinnati porkopolis? Then we head to just across the river to Bobby Mackey's, a bar and nightclub. Is there a demon here? Maybe you could consider entering the demonic portal and taking vacation in Hell! And why would you perform an exorcism in the kitchen? And don't leave without getting a little Roman History and learning how Cincinnati got its name.

Welcome back spooky friends to Part 2 of our visit with our local psychic in the Beattie Mansion. There are all sorts of surprises waiting for you in the this episode. Tune in for appearances from Bigfoot, the Grumpy Man, the Malevolent Spirit in the Beattie Mansion Basement, and of course Armstrong and Eliza. Do Dr. Evan's nagging spirits know what really happened to Armstrong Beattie? Will Dr. Evan shove Dr. Edwin out of a moving car? Oh so many questions and answers await!

Join Drs. Edwin and Evan has they set aside their skepticism and spend time with a local psychic named Mary Anne at Dr. Edwin's favorite place, the Beattie Mansion. This is an exciting adventure as this two part episode (our first) not only includes clips from the actual psychic reading but some new exciting technological tweaks to the podcast (now with editing--a much more labor intensive process than imagined)! Find out why Dr. Evan should drink pickle juice and why Dr. Edwin should go into politics along with a range of other psychic insights into their lives. Are your "unalived" relatives nosy busy bodies? The spirit world is very gossipy apparently...
