Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 27: Veterans Day Headstone Cleaning
Q: What made you decide to start cleaning headstones in the first place?
It was as simple as communicating with spirits and seeing their dirty headstones, which compelled John to start cleaning them.
Ep 23: The Science of Ghost Hunting with Steven Parsons
Q: Steve, if you had to direct somebody to one of your books, which book would it be?
It would be Ghostology, as it contains everything that I think is important for aspiring investigators.
Ep 23: The Science of Ghost Hunting with Steven Parsons
Q: Do you see a role for social media to sort of educate people on the actual science of ghost hunting?
Social media gives us access to interested people and allows us to draw attention to good methods.
Ep 23: The Science of Ghost Hunting with Steven Parsons
Q: Steve, what do you think spirits are?
I think that you have to discipline yourself not to allow your personal beliefs to pull you off the fence in any particular direction and accept that we simply don't know enough.
Ep 22: Filming Paranormal with Executive Producer, Mike Dorsey
Q: Did you always know that, hey, listen, truth over everything is just the way I want to operate?
It was more just self-preservation. I don't want to get something wrong because I will get crucified and raked over the coals by the audience.
