Haunted Healthcare (with Richard Estep)
Anyone who has worked in healthcare in a hospital setting has some interesting stories to tell. Not only tales of life-saving and sometimes loss, but there are other not-so-common tales as well. Perhaps it is a tale of some unseen presence that only seems to take place in one place. Maybe it is something spiritually relevant, like a patient’s recollection of a near-death experience or some otherwise unexplainable occurrences. Morgan and today’s guest, Richard Estep, are both regulars on the television shows, “Haunted Hospitals,” and “Paranormal 911.” In both of those series, healthcare providers, former patients, and first responders all share their own encounters with things they were unable to explain away.

Science, Healthcare and the Supernatural (with ...
Science and the Supernatural - not usually two terms you’ll see together. Materialist scientists shout down claims of the supernatural as hogwash. These cries get louder if speaking of the field of medicine. There are definitely some crazy ideas out there, but we shouldn’t ignore them all. That’s like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Shadow People and the Hat Man (with Heidi Hollis)
Cultures have been telling stories of Shadow People for eons, often explaining their presence through the lens of their particular cultures, including their religious beliefs. The Quran, for example, has stories of pitch-black entities with human-like shapes, called Jinn, that were created from fire. These things were neither purely spiritual or physical in nature, but something in between. It’s arguable whether or not the star of this week’s episode, the Hat Man, is one of these Shadow People. Some people believe it is, but others think Hat Man is something even more sinister, able to interact directly with humanity, manipulating our reality for his own evil purposes. First, Morgan will give us a brief description of The Hat Man and a bit of his history. Later, we will hear from our guest, Heidi Hollis. From her website, HeidiHollis.com, She is the first author to write about the topic of Shadow People and The Hat Man, giving them both their descriptive names to describe these dark menaces now interrupting lives around the globe. Heidi Hollis is the first to have taken them on in her book The Secret War, which details her personal story in dealing with Shadow People, and how positive and negative alien beings are connected to them!
