Host Eric Extreme examines how chronic sleep loss distorts perception and can mimic paranormal activity. He presents a science-based pre-investigation intake that screens for sleep issues and other natural causes across sound, sight, touch, and smell, with clear red flags and when to refer to professionals. The focus is on evidence, ethics, and client well-being over theatrics.

As a paranormal investigator, Eric Extreme has decades of experience. He focuses on the scientific study of perceived paranormal phenomena. In this podcast, he discusses the methods and tools used in investigations, exploring how factors like cognitive biases, environmental conditions, and technological anomalies can influence perceptions of the paranormal. His approach is to identify natural causes first before considering any paranormal explanations.
With years of research and fieldwork behind him, he offers insights into how these phenomena can be studied objectively, based on evidence. The goal is to help listeners understand how to approach paranormal investigations focused on science, distinguishing between what can be explained and what cannot. As he always says, "Science comes before the spooky."
