In this must-listen paranormal podcast episode of Open Loops, Greg interviews John Fraser—Council Member of the Society for Psychical Research and author of Paranormal Perspectives: One Big Box of Paranormal Tricks. Together they explore the groundbreaking idea that all paranormal events—from ghosts to poltergeists to UFOs—might stem from a single psychic force within us.  

That’s right. No polyamorous forces, Aubrey Marcus. Cool your jets.

Fraser, wo has investigated hundreds of cases including the Enfield poltergeist and the Cage haunting in Essex, lays out a compelling scientific and psychological framework. Instead of external entities, he suggests that stress, trauma, and altered states of consciousness may trigger these phenomena.

John and Greg discuss hypnotic regression, ESP experiments, false memory formation, and why Fraser believes random event generator technology could be key to proving the paranormal scientifically. This conversation challenges demonology (sorry new Pope), explores the psychology behind ghost sightings, and makes a strong case for a unified paranormal theory.

If you’re curious about how consciousness, haunted locations, and poltergeist behavior intersect in a scientifically grounded way and you love how that all wraps together in one sentence optimized for SEO, this is the top fringe science podcast episode of 2025 to hear.
