Skeptic and Psychic Medium discuss 'What exactly is the paranormal?'

Welcome to Mystic Mondays!

*Disclaimer: Sorry, this was posted late, you guys!*

Today, skeptic Pamela and I, the psychic medium, dive into the world of the paranormal. We explore diverse topics ranging from true crime ethics to defining the paranormal itself, sharing personal paranormal experiences and dissecting how mainstream media portrays phenomena like those in "The Conjuring" series. We discuss classifications by experts like Peter Underwood and explore shifting societal attitudes towards the paranormal, as highlighted by the 2013 Harris poll. Additionally, we examine how education, changes in mainstream media, and evolving gender roles impact perceptions of the supernatural.

Later in each episode, we explore the intersection of science, gender roles, and cultural meanings attributed to paranormal phenomena. Whether you're a skeptic curious about the unexplained or a believer seeking deeper insights, this episode is definitely thought-provoking.
