In this episode of The Blue Line Voice: Blood, Sand & Smoke, host Josh Weddell sits down with retired law enforcement officer, investigator, academy director, author, and paranormal researcher Larry Lawson for a conversation that walks the line between police work, history, evidence, and the unexplained.
Larry brings more than 40 years of law enforcement experience, including patrol, corrections, criminal investigations, police academy leadership, and specialized work in cult and occult-related crime investigations. But after a strange experience inside the Dade County Jail in Miami in 1980 — and another powerful encounter years later at the St. Augustine Lighthouse — Larry began applying the same investigative mindset he used on the job to a very different kind of case.
Through the Florida Bureau of Paranormal Investigation, Larry approaches paranormal research like a detective: document the scene, collect the evidence, rule out the obvious, preserve what matters, and follow the facts wherever they lead. No theatrics. No nonsense. Just a retired cop asking hard questions about what people experience, what can be proven, and what still cannot be explained.
Larry also founded Indian River Hauntings, where he combines Florida Treasure Coast history with ghost tours, paranormal events, and historical investigations. In this episode, he shares stories from haunted locations, unexplained voices, old buildings, possible child spirits, near-death experiences, first responders who have seen things they never talk about, and why skeptics and believers both need to keep an open mind.
This conversation is for law enforcement, first responders, veterans, history lovers, paranormal investigators, skeptics, believers, and anyone who has ever experienced something they could not explain.
