Episode Synopsis

Have you ever had a dream that later came true? Experienced, “mother’s intuition?” Sensed the presence of a loved one after they passed away? Or had a gut feeling that proved to be right? If you’re like 67% of people according to a recent survey, you’ve probably had at least one experience that falls under the broad umbrella of the “paranormal.”  In this episode, Traci Stein welcomes back her good friend, Kathy Kelly, a historian, owner of the Paranormal Museum, and co-host of their podcast, “Curious Explorers.” They dive deep into how we experience the paranormal, from energy healing and intuition to ghosts, hauntings, and much more. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode offers a fascinating exploration of the unseen and the unknown.
