In this week’s episode, Jimmy takes a deep dive into the world of ghost hunting—a pursuit that exists somewhere between science, storytelling, and running around in the dark hoping something whispers your name. Armed with curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism, Jimmy unpacks the gadgets, the theories, and the quirks of paranormal investigations, from spirit boxes spitting out random syllables to night vision cameras turning every dust particle into “definitive proof.”
But this episode isn’t just about theories—it’s about a real experience. Enter John Fike, a former skeptic who went into a ghost hunt expecting to debunk everything… and walked away questioning everything. John shares his firsthand account of what happened during a late-night investigation at the Randolph County Infirmary, where eerie sounds, unexplained phenomena, and a rock thrown from the darkness turned him from a nonbeliever into someone who isn’t so sure anymore.
Is it all just psychology and physics messing with our senses? Or is there something more lurking beyond the veil? Whether you’re a full-on believer, a die-hard skeptic, or just here for the spooky stories, this episode promises to entertain, educate, and maybe even send a chill down your spine. Tune in and decide for yourself: are we alone, or are we just really good at scaring ourselves?
