Evidential Medium Scott Allan and Actor/Filmmaker Robert Neal Marshall (House of Cards, The Wire, Countdown To Ground Zero) found each other when Scott interviewed “The Haunted Collector” John Zaffis on his KGRA radio show, “The Paranormal Project.” Among his many roles, Marshall had played Zaffis in several episodes of “A Haunting,” but the two had never met. After Scott invited Robert onto his show to meet the real-life person he portrayed, Scott learned that Robert was also a near-death survivor, following a heart attack ten years earlier. The two realized they both shared more in common than previously thought and quickly became fast friends. Long before meeting his grandmother on the other side during his NDE, Robert had psychic/mediumistic tendencies from an early age. Scott had his own opening as well, experiencing a frightening ghost story with spirits that haunted him day and night until he learned how to control his mediumship and keep these spirits at bay. Robert and Scott have now teamed up as co-authors to take us on an emotional journey, sharing how they each discovered special connections to something outside the ordinary. Both were given a unique window into a realm, so often the source of much doubt and confusion, yet is truly an everyday part of us all. Their interactive autobiographical play affirms life is truly eternal. Providence of the Heart stimulates the imagination, hopefully inspires, provides comfort, and perhaps offers a greater insight that life is more than what we have been taught to believe. If you are fascinated by near-death experiences, past lives, mediumship, ghost stories, or simply seek answers for unbelievable “coincidences,” then this show is for you!

This week's guests are paranormal investigators “Mikey” Thompson and Cheryl Plumb. We met while touring Scotland together in 2022, and they both have some incredible stories to share. Michael A. Thompson “Mikey” is a registered nurse. Mikey’s obsession with the paranormal started in the fall of 2002 after he found his sixteen-month-old daughter floating face down and lifeless in the deep end of the family pool. She survived this tragedy after being clinically dead for approximately 26 minutes. However, shortly after she returned home from the hospital, Mikey and his family's paranormal nightmare began. Their story has been featured in an episode of The Travel Channel's Haunted Hospitals. Mikey has also been a guest on Paranormal Experienced Radio with Kat Hobson, Dead Air with Ken Decosta and George Lopez, A World Awakening with Andrea Perron, and appearances on The Dark Zone and Spirit Realm Network. Having investigated such locations like The Queen Mary, Calico Ghost Towns Maggie Mine, The Winchester Mystery Mansion, Glen Tavern Inn, Old Paulding Jail, Colonel Allensworth Park, Washoe Club, and MacKay Mansion in Virginia City, Nevada, just to name a few, Mikey brings paranormal experience and his passion for helping others living or dead to every investigation. Cheryl Plumb is a dedicated and seasoned paranormal investigator with a passion for uncovering the mysteries that lie beyond the realm of the living. She started her paranormal journey as a child, going on impromptu investigations with her mother, and has since been working to bridge the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Cheryl’s love of solving puzzles and a desire to help people led her to a degree in Criminal Investigation. When the paranormal became more mainstream she was able to utilize that training, build her network and learn from the best in the business. She believes in the importance of thorough research, skepticism, and a scientific approach to understanding the unexplained. She has been involved in numerous investigations across the globe, and continues to seek answers to the questions that elude conventional explanation.
