Paranormal researcher J. Allan Danelek joins host Cliff Dunning to break down his book Ghosts Explained: An Objective Look at the Paranormal, arguing that ghosts are the conscious, disembodied personalities of people who have not yet moved on. He explains why some souls linger, how they manifest visually as orbs, vortexes, or full-body apparitions, and why poltergeists and low-vibration non-human entities may be something else entirely. The conversation also covers living ghosts, animal apparitions, EVPs, Ouija boards, channeled music and novels, and how to respectfully ask an unwanted spirit to leave.

In November 1967, Joyce Bowles and Ted Pratt were driving near Winchester, England, when their car was seemingly lifted off the road and set down beside a hovering cigar-shaped craft, from which a silver-suited, pink-eyed being emerged to peer in at them. A second encounter weeks later allegedly placed both witnesses and the car inside a strange room with communicating entities before they reappeared beside an unfamiliar river. Host Zelia Edgar explores how Joyce's lifelong history of poltergeists and apparitions complicates the case, raising the question of whether a haunted person can draw or even project high strangeness.
