There's only one KD Stafford--The Paranormal Mad Scientist.  We're interviewing him on his views on paranormal tech and it's future in paranormal research.  This is a two-parter and really touches on what tech is capable of doing, when to use it and when more traditional, organic approaches make more sense.

The key takeaways from KD's interview will be just how cool he is, how he views paranormal tech as just one facet to investigations and just the incredible impact he's on paranormal research and understanding ITC...instrumental trans communicaiton.

KD's thoughtful approach is evident and the depth of experience and knowledge will definitely peak your interest!

Tish and Courtney spend the night in one of the most haunted hotels on the west coast--The Monterey Hotel in Monterey California.  Room 217 is the most haunted room in the hotel and we stayed in it for the entire night!!  We're going to take you through our investigation hour by hour and share what we experienced, where we went in the hotel, the tools we used, and what WE experienced.  We didn't go more than five minutes without activity--You'll have to listen to hear all the details.

Many ghostly tales have surrounded The Monterey Hotel for years, creating an atmosphere charged with a mysterious energy, mainly because the reason for their presence is not fully known. Among the inexplicable phantasmal residents that call this historic establishment home, none is more renowned than Frank, affectionately dubbed the “Maintenance Ghost.”   We spoke directly to Frank for most of the evening!

Frank’s spectral presence echoes through the main staircase in the lobby, where staff members have often glimpsed him tirelessly muttering about fixing the infamous 75 stairs that wind on endlessly. His mischievous spirit extends to Room 217, where guests have encountered playful antics with TVs and clock radios. Some even report their cell phones displaying cryptic sequences of 7s and 5s, a creepy occurrence in this age of technology.

There's more than just Frank and we'll share all the characters with you.

This is a "must listen" episode!
