Clairvoyance, the ability to spontaneously know information without sensory input, challenges the traditional materialist belief that our five senses comprise the entirety of human sensory awareness. For millennia, clairvoyant healers have assisted alongside traditional therapies under the radar and outside of mainstream practices. But how do you know when a clairvoyant healer's style of therapy r...

Healing, the ancient art of therapeutic intervention, once required sacred rituals and secret knowledge about the power of medicinal plants, energetic vibrations and indigenous wisdom. Today, we think about curing illness as surgical and pharmaceutical combat: we must fight, beat and conquer in order to heal. But when breast cancer survivor Lisa Zayas combines the ancient healing art of Qi Gong wi...

Sleep Paralysis, or Night Terrors, are a weird but common nocturnal disturbance related to stress and difficult to treat. Characterized by a frightening figure that threatens the sleeper with its menacing presence, night terrors are a strange, uncomfortable and, oddly, hereditary category of dream. Most sufferers wait for them to go away. But what if the syndrome is chronic, and frightening figure...

Host Suzanne Clores travels to Leeds, England for a conference on the intersection of science and Spiritualism in Victorian-era Europe. Clores looks at serious questions scientists asked about technology, innovation and spirit phenomena at the dawn of the 19th century, and endures the psychological consequences of asking those same questions today. Some disturbing audio effects may upset sensitive...

Host Suzanne Clores talks to photographer Shannon Taggart about her incredible photographic journey through the world of Spiritualism, the American 19th century religion that popularized the seance, or sacred circle in which to communicate with the dead. Taggart spent 17 years documenting entranced mediums in the historic Spiritualist community in Lily Dale, New York, and hunting across the world...

Narrator Suzanne Clores agrees to conduct a field experiment in the city of San Francisco to see if EL's gift of intuitive mediumship and skill as a Remote Viewing can corroborate objective reality. From the lobby of San Francisco's Clift Hotel, Clores, EL and a group of perfect strangers agree to run an "outbounder" experiment, in which one stranger goes to an undisclosed location and the Remote...

Spirit Communication, or contact with the discarnate through an intuitive medium, can shake one's sense of reality and prompt paradigm shifting questions. How could an intuitive medium possibly know intimate details about your life and loved ones?  Skeptics—and common sense— say don't trust a stranger who purports to have unique knowledge about you. In Western Materialism, we believe much of a med...

Mediumship, the ancient practice of talking to the dead, posits that certain highly attuned individuals can perceive some part of our consciousness that survives death. While at odds with Western materialist science, societies for millenia have depended on mediums to contact their discarnate loved ones during periods of severe loss. In the Western world, loss due to war, disease and family tragedy...

Astral projection, the ability to send the "subtle" or energetic body across space and time, is an ancient shamanic practice with little relevance to professional gamblers. But much like card counting, this unusual technique appeals to a small sector of professional gamblers interested in gaining an edge. At the Applied Precognition Conference in Las Vegas, luck comes by way of a modern incarnatio...

The Second Sight, better known as precognition or presentiment, is a predictive gift that dates back to the Old Testament and in mystical texts from around the world. Oracles, shamans and monks of the past offered intuitive guidance and insight to royalty and politicians based on precognition (detecting future events mentally across space and time) or presentiment (sensing a future event physicall...

After Death Communication, or ADC, is a spiritual and transpersonal phenomenon as varied and mysterious as death itself. Seen by science as a common response to grief, contact with the dead through dreams, visions, voices, or physical sensation appears in literature and testimony around the world, across all religious, ethnic and socio-economic populations. Both skeptics and believers share testim...

Extraordinary— anomalous, highly strange and exceptional—experiences happen to all of us. So why don't we talk about them? Precognitive dreams, synchronicities, angel contact, a visit from the dead, telepathy, clairvoyance and miracles of healing have been reported across the world since antiquity. This podcast explores our relationship with the otherwordly and the cultural taboo surrounding the s...
