Show Notes

Psychic medium and paranormal investigator Misti Gaither joins Doug Owen on The Unholy Podcast for a fascinating conversation about mediumship, paranormal investigation, spirit communication, and what may exist beyond the physical world. Misti discusses how she experiences psychic impressions, what separates intuition from genuine spirit communication, and what happens when mediumship becomes part of a paranormal investigation. Doug and Misti also explore the darker side of unexplained activity, the importance of trusting instinct, and why some encounters may not be what they first appear to be. The conversation moves into personal paranormal experiences, communicating with the dead, investigating potentially intelligent activity, and the difficult question every investigator eventually faces — when something responds, what exactly are you communicating with?
