Aura Goggles: Psychic Powers and the Dicyanin Conspiracy

Do you know what color your aura is? In this episode we discover the unseen horrors of the spirit realm by strapping on a pair of century-old "aura goggles" and gazing at Greg's crusty energy field. Plus, we break down the science behind auras and reveal how to see them yourself, Connor investigates a mysterious chemical compound called dicyanin that inspired John Carpenter's "They Live!", Dana poisons herself, and Gordon the cat receives a psychic reading.  Join the Museum: https://patreon.com/paramuseum Visit Our Website: https://hauntedobjectspodcast.com Subscribe on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/25xf92nx Follow Greg Newkirk Twitter: https://twitter.com/nuekerk Instagram: https://instagram.com/nuekerk Website: https://gregorynewkirk.com Follow Dana Newkirk Twitter: https://twitter.com/weird_dana Instagram: https://instagram.com/weird_dana Follow Connor J.
