In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I am joined by renowned Psychic Medium, Author, Occult expert and television personality Michelle Belanger.
Michelle shares the story of her first paranormal encounter—a mysterious woman seen inside a reportedly haunted library—and explains how growing up in a psychically aware family helped her understand and develop her abilities. She also discusses her childhood health struggles, near-death experiences and lifelong fascination with spirits, consciousness and the unexplained.
Our conversation explores the true meaning of the occult, the historical relationship between magic and medicine, and the misconceptions surrounding witches, demons and other supernatural entities. Michelle also reflects on her television work, including Paranormal State, and recalls one disturbing investigation that made her question whether she wanted to continue.
Michelle and I also discuss responsible paranormal investigation, documenting experiences, eliminating natural explanations and recognizing the difference between paranormal phenomena and mental-health conditions. Later, Michelle explains psychic vampirism, remote viewing, astral projection and why language can influence how we interpret extraordinary experiences.
This fascinating and thought-provoking conversation offers a balanced look at psychic phenomena, occult history and the many shades of grey within the paranormal.
