Ever think you could will a ghost to appear just because you really want to experience the paranormal? Alex Matsuo has some bad news for you: spirits don’t work that way.
On this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Alex Matsuo — a respected paranormal investigator, author, and researcher — who brings a logical, no-nonsense approach to ghost hunting. Her blend of empathy and critical thinking challenges the idea that strong emotions or wishful thinking can summon the dead.
Alex shares what truly matters during an investigation: evidence-based research, respect for the locations, and understanding the psychological factors that often play into reports of hauntings.
Whether you’re a seasoned investigator or a curious newcomer hoping to meet a ghost, Alex’s insights will change how you think about the supernatural — and maybe even make you a better ghost hunter.
Spoiler alert: a spirit isn’t going to pop up just because you politely ask. This is Part Two of our conversation.
