Ep 040: The Conjuring, Paranormal Activity, and Our Obsession with Ghost Stories
In our second SPOOOKY episode for the month of October, we’re talking all about ghosts with the spooktacular host of Geist, Danielle Matar. We discuss why we, as a society, have such a fascination with ghost stories, the paranormal, and what happens to us after we die.
We also look at the impact on our brains when we experience these types of unexplainable experiences and how to avoid trauma after an experience with something you think is supernatural.
