Dakota Frandsen Presents: Telephone Theory of Research

Telephone Theory is stated by Merriam-Webster as a theory in physiology: the perception of pitch depends on the frequency of the nerve impulses induced by sounds of different pitch. This term is often considered outdated, but what if there is another place for that term to be put into better use? That is what this episode is about! We are going to observe how stories are easily changing over time and how that may apply to reports of paranormal phenomena over the centuries. From ancient religions, haunted locations, and even the backyard campfire stories we all hear when we are kids; the legends that make up our world have a funny way of turning into the mythology that captivates the lives of ourselves and our ancenstors. The evolution of legends.
