What happens when the worlds of mystery, spirituality, imagination, and the unexplained collide? On this episode of the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, Joe and Jen sit down with author **Damaju Razen**, author of *Sleeping Swordsman Waking Buddha*, for a fascinating conversation that explores the ideas, inspirations, and deeper themes behind his work.

*Sleeping Swordsman Waking Buddha* is a unique title that immediately raises questions. What does it mean to be asleep and awake at the same time? What does the image of the swordsman represent? And what connection might there be between the warrior and the Buddha? These are the kinds of questions that make this conversation especially interesting for anyone fascinated by consciousness, spirituality, ancient traditions, mythology, and the unexplained.

During our conversation with Damaju, we take a closer look at his journey as an author and the ideas that helped shape *Sleeping Swordsman Waking Buddha*. We discuss the creative process behind the book and explore some of the concepts that inspired the story and its characters.

For the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, conversations like this are particularly exciting because the paranormal isn't limited to ghosts and haunted locations. The unexplained can take many forms—from strange experiences and ancient beliefs to consciousness, spirituality, mythology, and questions about what may exist beyond our everyday perception.

The title *Sleeping Swordsman Waking Buddha* itself provides plenty of room for exploration. The contrast between the swordsman and Buddha creates an intriguing combination of action, philosophy, awakening, and self-discovery. Throughout the interview, we explore some of these ideas and discuss how storytelling can provide another way of examining mysteries that have fascinated humanity for centuries.

Damaju also gives us insight into the world he has created and what readers can discover when they open the pages of his book. Whether you are interested in paranormal subjects, spiritual ideas, fantasy, mythology, or simply enjoy discovering unusual stories and perspectives, this episode offers plenty to think about.

As always, Joe and Jen bring their curiosity and love of the unexplained to the conversation. Rather than simply asking whether something is real or paranormal, the **222 Paranormal Podcast** often looks at the bigger questions: Why do people experience these things? Where did these beliefs originate? What can stories teach us about ourselves? And could there be more to our reality than what we experience every day?

Join Joe and Jen as they welcome **Damaju Razen** to the 222 Paranormal Podcast for a conversation about *Sleeping Swordsman Waking Buddha*, creativity, spirituality, mystery, and the fascinating ideas that exist somewhere between the known and the unknown.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the paranormal or someone who simply enjoys a good mystery, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

**Listen now and enter the world of the Sleeping Swordsman and the Waking Buddha.**

The 222 Paranormal Podcast hits the road and goes LIVE from the 2026 Cleveland Paracon! In this special episode, Joe and Jennifer Shortridge take you inside one of the most exciting gatherings of paranormal enthusiasts, investigators, authors, speakers, and curious minds in the region.

Instead of simply talking about the paranormal from the studio, this time we're bringing you the atmosphere, stories, and people we met right from the convention floor.

Cleveland has a long and fascinating relationship with the paranormal. From historic buildings and legendary locations to unexplained encounters and the investigators who continue to search for answers, the city provides the perfect backdrop for a weekend dedicated to everything strange, mysterious, and unexplained.

During this episode, we sit down with three fascinating guests, each bringing a different perspective and a different paranormal story to the conversation.

Our first interview is with Cindy from The Ross House. Cindy shares information about this historic location and the paranormal activity associated with it. We talk about the history of The Ross House, experiences that have taken place there, and what makes historic locations such intriguing places for paranormal investigators. As always, we let the stories speak for themselves and invite you to decide what you think may be happening.

Next, we talk with Amber, who tells us about the Collingwood Art Center. The Collingwood Art Center is one of Cleveland's fascinating historic locations, and Amber gives us an inside look at the building, its history, and the paranormal experiences connected to it. What happens when a building with decades of history becomes the setting for unexplained encounters? Amber shares some of the stories that have made the location so interesting to those fascinated by the paranormal.

Our third interview features Patience Moriah LeClair, who joins us to talk about her own paranormal encounters. Personal experiences can be some of the most compelling stories in the paranormal world because they often begin with something unexpected — a strange sound, an unexplained sighting, a feeling that something isn't quite right, or an experience that leaves someone searching for an explanation.

Patience shares her experiences with us and discusses what she encountered and how those experiences affected her.

And because this episode was recorded LIVE at Cleveland Paracon, you're getting more than just interviews. You're getting a taste of the convention itself — the people, conversations, stories, and excitement that make paranormal conventions such a great place to connect with others who share an interest in the unexplained.

For Joe and Jennifer, events like Cleveland Paracon are also an opportunity to meet listeners, talk with fellow investigators and researchers, record new interviews, and hear stories that might never make their way into a traditional studio conversation.

So turn down the lights, settle in, and join us as the 222 Paranormal Podcast goes LIVE from the 2026 Cleveland Paracon.

Three guests. Three different stories. Historic locations, unexplained experiences, and plenty of questions.

Is there something paranormal happening at these locations?

We'll let you listen and decide.

This is 222 Paranormal Podcast — live from Cleveland Paracon 2026.

In this episode of the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, Jennifer and Joe Shortridge take a deep dive into one of the most disturbing alleged hauntings in modern paranormal history—the story of the Ammons family and the small Gary, Indiana, home that would eventually become known around the world as the Demon House.

The story reportedly began in 2011 after the Ammons family moved into the house. What initially appeared to be an ordinary family home allegedly became the center of bizarre and frightening experiences. The family reported strange noises, unexplained footsteps, shadowy figures, swarms of flies appearing during the winter, and other disturbing activity.

But the story became even more unbelievable when the family's children reportedly began experiencing frightening and unusual behavior.

Police were called.

Medical professionals became involved.

Indiana's Department of Child Services investigated

And eventually, a Catholic priest entered the story.

Father Michael Maginot became involved with the family and reportedly performed religious rites and exorcisms connected to the alleged activity. Accounts of the case describe strange voices, unusual behavior, and incidents that witnesses interpreted as evidence of something far beyond an ordinary haunting.

But what really happened?

Were the Ammons family experiencing a genuine paranormal event?

Could psychological, environmental, or other natural explanations account for what happened?

Or was something truly supernatural affecting the family?

Jennifer and Joe explore both sides of the story without automatically accepting every paranormal claim as fact. Because one of the most important principles of paranormal investigation is this:

**Unexplained does not automatically mean supernatural.**

The case eventually attracted the attention of paranormal investigator Zak Bagans, who purchased the property and investigated it for his documentary **Demon House**. His experiences at the location added another layer to an already controversial case and helped transform the small house in Gary into one of the most famous alleged haunted locations in America.

Then came the bulldozers.

The house was demolished in 2016.

The structure that had allegedly been the center of so much frightening activity was gone.

But that raises one of the biggest questions of this episode:

**What happens to a haunting when the haunted house no longer exists?**

Did destroying the Demon House destroy whatever was believed to be inside it?

Could paranormal activity remain attached to the land

Did the activity follow the people who lived there?

Or did the reported experiences simply end when the family left?

Jennifer and Joe examine what is known about the former property and discuss whether there is credible evidence of ongoing paranormal activity at the location today.

The episode also looks at the difference between documented events, witness testimony, paranormal interpretation, and stories that have grown through years of internet retelling.

The Demon House case is ultimately more than a scary story. It is a fascinating collision of **paranormal investigation, religion, psychology, family experiences, witness testimony, and the unknown**.

The house may be gone.

The walls may be gone.

The rooms where these events allegedly occurred may no longer exist.

But the mystery remains.

Was the Demon House truly possessed?

Was a family experiencing something supernatural?

Was something else happening entirely?

Or will the truth about what happened on Carolina Street remain one of the great unanswered mysteries of the paranormal?

Join Jennifer and Joe Shortridge as they go inside the story of the **Demon House of Gary, Indiana**.

Listen to the episode, make up your own mind, and then tell us what you believe.

Because sometimes...

you can tear down a house

But you can't tear down the mystery.

This is Part Two of the two-part series. Hope you enjoy and please share it with a friend.

What if some of humanity's greatest mysteries aren't waiting to be discovered in outer space—but are already here, hidden beneath our feet and resting silently on the bottom of the ocean?

On this fascinating episode of the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, hosts **Jennifer and Joe Shortridge** dive into the world of ancient artifacts discovered underground and underwater—objects that challenge what we think we know about ancient civilizations, lost knowledge, and the true history of human achievement.

For centuries, explorers, archaeologists, divers, and researchers have uncovered incredible objects buried deep beneath layers of earth or preserved beneath the waves. Some have perfectly reasonable explanations. Others remain surrounded by questions, controversy, and mystery. Could certain discoveries suggest that ancient people possessed knowledge far beyond what we have traditionally been taught? Were advanced civilizations lost to time? Or are we sometimes underestimating the intelligence, creativity, and scientific abilities of our ancestors?

One of the most remarkable discoveries discussed in this episode is the **Antikythera Mechanism**, an astonishing ancient device recovered from a shipwreck near the Greek island of Antikythera. Often described as one of the world's earliest known analog computers, this complex collection of gears has fascinated scientists and historians for generations. How could people living more than 2,000 years ago create something with such extraordinary mechanical sophistication? What was it designed to calculate? And does the Antikythera Mechanism represent a level of ancient technological knowledge that was later lost?

Jennifer and Joe also explore mysterious ancient manuscripts, including the legendary **Voynich Manuscript**, one of history's most puzzling documents. Filled with strange illustrations, unknown plants, mysterious symbols, and writing that has resisted centuries of interpretation, the manuscript continues to spark debate. Is it written in a forgotten language? Is it an elaborate code? Could it contain lost scientific, medical, or mystical knowledge? Or is the truth something entirely different?

The conversation goes even deeper as the hosts examine other strange discoveries connected to ancient civilizations and unexplained history. From objects recovered beneath the ocean to artifacts discovered deep underground, these mysteries raise an important question: **How much of the ancient world has yet to be discovered?**

The oceans cover most of our planet, while countless archaeological sites remain buried beneath cities, forests, deserts, and layers of sediment. Entire communities may have disappeared beneath rising seas, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. Over thousands of years, evidence of human civilizations can be swallowed by the earth and sea, leaving behind only fragments for future generations to uncover.

Could there be ancient cities still hidden beneath the waves? Could underground discoveries eventually rewrite parts of the history we think we know? And when researchers discover an artifact that doesn't seem to fit neatly into our understanding of its time, should we automatically dismiss it—or should we be willing to ask more questions?

This episode explores the line between established archaeology and unexplained speculation. Joe and Jennifer discuss the excitement of discovery while examining why extraordinary claims require careful investigation. Not every mysterious artifact is evidence of a lost advanced civilization—but some discoveries remind us that history is constantly being updated as new evidence comes to light.

Join the **222 Paranormal Podcast** as we journey beneath the surface of the earth and descend into the depths of the ocean in search of ancient mysteries. From the incredible Antikythera Mechanism to the mysterious Voynich Manuscript and other artifacts that continue to raise questions, this is an episode about lost knowledge, forgotten civilizations, ancient technology, and the possibility that humanity's past may be even stranger than we imagine.

**What secrets are still waiting beneath the ground and beneath the sea?**

Perhaps the greatest mysteries in history haven't been lost at all.

Perhaps they simply haven't been found yet.

222 Paranormal Podcast — Who Is the Holy Spirit?

What exactly is the Holy Spirit? Is He a divine presence, a guide, a comforter, or something far more mysterious? In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, Joe and Jennifer explore one of Christianity's greatest mysteries: the identity and role of the Holy Spirit within the Trinity.

Joe and Jennifer begin at the very beginning—literally. The first mention of the Spirit of God appears in Genesis, where the Spirit is described as moving over the waters before creation. From there, the conversation travels through the Old Testament, examining the many ways the Holy Spirit appears, guides, empowers, and communicates with humanity.

One of the most fascinating stories discussed is that of Bezalel, the craftsman chosen to help construct the Tabernacle and the sacred objects associated with it, including the Ark of the Covenant. Scripture describes Bezalel as being filled with the Spirit of God, receiving wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and exceptional craftsmanship. What does this tell us about the Holy Spirit? Could divine inspiration extend beyond prophecy and miracles into creativity, craftsmanship, and human ability?

Joe and Jennifer also explore the Holy Spirit's relationship with biblical figures including Moses, David, Samson, Elijah, and the prophets. The discussion moves into some of the Bible's most extraordinary supernatural experiences, including dreams, visions, prophecy, divine guidance, and Ezekiel's mysterious visions.

The conversation then turns toward Jesus Christ and the Trinity. What does Christianity mean when it says the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God? What happened when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at His baptism? And what does the dramatic event of Pentecost reveal about the Spirit's role?

One of the most personal moments of the episode comes when Joe reflects on growing up in a Catholic home and attending church, where he heard the Holy Spirit mentioned many times throughout his childhood. Yet, despite hearing the words repeatedly, he admits that he never really understood who the Holy Spirit was or what role the Spirit played in his faith.

That personal reflection becomes an important part of the episode's larger question: Can we experience the Holy Spirit today?

Joe also shares one of his own theories: Could some experiences that people describe as encounters with guardian angels actually involve the Holy Spirit? While Joe makes it clear that this is his personal thought rather than established Christian doctrine, the idea opens the door to a fascinating discussion about intuition, divine guidance, protection, spiritual experiences, and the unexplained.

Throughout the episode, Joe and Jennifer carefully explore the difference between biblical teachings, Christian tradition, personal belief, and paranormal experiences.

Whether you're a lifelong Christian, someone who grew up hearing about the Holy Spirit but never fully understood the concept, a paranormal enthusiast, or simply someone fascinated by the mysteries of consciousness and spirituality, this episode offers plenty to think about.

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Is the Holy Spirit still active in the world today?

And could some of the mysterious experiences people encounter throughout their lives have a spiritual explanation?

Join Joe and Jennifer for a deep journey into scripture, faith, history, and the unexplained as they explore Who Is the Holy Spirit?

Sometimes the greatest mysteries aren't hiding in haunted houses, deep forests, or distant skies.

Sometimes, the greatest mysteries may be walking beside us every day.

What if your phone suddenly rang and the caller ID displayed the name of someone who had already passed away?

Would you answer?

In this fascinating episode of the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, Joe and Jennifer Shortridge dive deep into one of the most unsettling and intriguing areas of paranormal research: **phone calls from the dead**.

For decades, people around the world have reported receiving mysterious telephone calls, voicemails, and electronic messages that they believe came from deceased loved ones. Some describe hearing a familiar voice. Others report nothing but silence, static, or strange sounds before the call suddenly ends. Are these experiences genuine communications from the afterlife, unusual technological glitches, or something connected to the grieving process?

Joe and Jennifer begin by exploring the history of humanity's attempts to communicate with the dead and how the development of electricity and communication technology changed the way people thought about the afterlife.

The conversation then turns to two of the greatest inventors in history: **Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison**.

Tesla's experiments with electricity, radio signals, frequency, and wireless communication have fascinated paranormal researchers for generations. Joe and Jennifer examine what Tesla actually believed, what he reportedly experienced during his experiments, and how his work has been interpreted by people searching for evidence of communication beyond our physical world.

Then comes Thomas Edison and the famous idea of the **"Spirit Phone."** Did Edison really attempt to create a machine capable of communicating with the dead? What did he actually say about the possibility? And how much of the modern Spirit Phone story is documented history versus legend?

The episode also explores the history of **Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP)** and **Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC)**. Joe and Jennifer discuss researchers such as Friedrich Jürgenson and Konstantin Raudive and examine the controversial claims that electronic equipment can sometimes capture voices that investigators cannot hear at the time of recording.

The discussion then moves into the twentieth century and the scientific interest surrounding unexplained electronic voices, including the **1979 research and discussion referenced in the episode**.

But the heart of this episode is the stories.

Joe and Jennifer examine reports involving mysterious phone calls, disconnected numbers, unexplained voicemails, and calls apparently made by people shortly after their deaths. One of the most famous cases discussed is the **Charles Peck cellphone case** following the 2008 Chatsworth train collision, in which family members reportedly received repeated calls from Peck's phone after the crash.

Could these incidents have technological explanations?

Could grief and memory play a role?

Could electronic interference create the illusion of a voice?

Or could consciousness somehow survive physical death and find a way to interact with the technology around us?

Joe and Jennifer explore all of these possibilities without claiming to have all the answers.

Ultimately, **"Phone Calls From the Dead"** isn't simply about whether ghosts can use telephones. It's about something much deeper: our desire to remain connected to the people we love, even after they're gone.

So the next time your phone rings unexpectedly...

You might want to take a second look at the caller ID.

Because you never know who might be calling.

**Listen to the full episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast and decide for yourself: Can the dead really make a phone call?**

In this episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, we sit down with Casey Schnese, founder of the Eastern Wisconsin Paranormal Team, to talk about the world of paranormal investigation, the experiences that drive people to search for answers, and what it's really like to investigate places where the unexplained may be happening.

Casey has been investigating the paranormal and leading the Eastern Wisconsin Paranormal Team for nearly seven years. Over that time, the team has had the opportunity to investigate more than 20 businesses and four private homes, each location bringing its own history, atmosphere, and potential mysteries. With a team of approximately eight members, Casey and the group approach their investigations with curiosity, teamwork, and an open mind.

Paranormal investigation is about much more than simply walking into a supposedly haunted location with cameras and equipment. Every investigation begins with questions. What happened at the location? Who lived or worked there? Is there a history of unusual activity? Are there stories that have been passed down through generations? And perhaps most importantly, can the experiences reported by witnesses be documented and investigated in a responsible way?

During our conversation, Casey shares insight into what it takes to investigate paranormal claims and what investigators may encounter when they enter a location with a reputation for being haunted. From unexplained sounds and strange feelings to possible spirit activity and personal experiences, every investigation can bring something different.

We also explore the importance of working as a team. Paranormal investigations can be challenging, especially when investigators are dealing with darkness, unfamiliar environments, and situations that may be difficult to explain. Having a group of investigators allows experiences to be compared, evidence to be reviewed, and observations to be discussed from different perspectives.

One of the most fascinating aspects of paranormal investigation is the unknown. While some experiences may eventually have a logical explanation, others can leave investigators with more questions than answers. For people like Casey, that uncertainty is part of what makes the field so interesting. The goal isn't necessarily to prove every experience is paranormal, but to investigate, document, and consider all possibilities.

Casey's nearly seven years of experience leading the Eastern Wisconsin Paranormal Team have provided countless opportunities to explore reportedly haunted locations and meet people who have experienced things they cannot easily explain. Whether you're a longtime paranormal enthusiast or someone who is simply curious about what may exist beyond our understanding, this conversation offers a fascinating look into the world of ghost hunting and paranormal research.

Join Joe and Jennifer on the 222 Paranormal Podcast as we explore Casey Schnese's journey, the history of the Eastern Wisconsin Paranormal Team, and the experiences that continue to inspire the search for answers. As always, we encourage you to listen with an open mind and decide for yourself what you believe.

The paranormal world is filled with stories, questions, and mysteries that may never have easy answers. But that's exactly why we keep investigating.

On this episode of the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, we sit down with an incredibly fascinating guest, **Richie Grubbs**, professionally known as **Emerald Raven**. Richie is an author, paranormal investigator, oracle reader, Paqo energy healer, and artisan whose work explores the fascinating intersection of the physical and spiritual worlds.

Richie's journey is one that brings together many different interests and experiences, from paranormal investigation and storytelling to spirituality, energy work, and intuitive practices. His unique perspective offers a fascinating look at the many ways people seek to understand the world around them—and the unseen world that may exist alongside it.

Through his work, Richie draws inspiration from the **Paqo Kuna traditions of Peru**, incorporating nature-based energy work into his spiritual practice. He also works with intuitive oracle readings, helping people explore questions about their lives while seeking greater clarity, healing, and balance. For Richie, these practices are part of a larger journey of personal discovery and understanding.

During our conversation, we explore Richie's experiences and interests in the paranormal and spiritual realms. We talk about what first drew him toward the unexplained and what it means to investigate places and experiences that challenge our understanding of reality. Paranormal investigation isn't simply about searching for ghosts—it can also be about uncovering the history, stories, emotions, and mysteries connected to a particular location.

Richie's work also reminds us that there can be many different paths toward exploring the unknown. Some people investigate haunted locations with equipment and technology. Others explore spirituality, intuition, energy, and ancient traditions. Still others find their connection to the unexplained through storytelling, writing, and creative expression. Richie brings elements of all of these worlds together in his work.

We also learn more about **Emerald Raven's Hollow**, Richie's brand and creative space dedicated to his passion for the paranormal, spirituality, and storytelling. Through Emerald Raven's Hollow, Richie shares his experiences through books, paranormal investigations, educational content, and handcrafted creations.

As an author, Richie uses storytelling as another way to explore the mysteries of life and the unknown. Whether he's writing a novel, investigating a potentially haunted location, or creating something by hand, his work is rooted in curiosity and imagination. His approach encourages us to remain open-minded while continuing to ask questions.

One of the most interesting aspects of our conversation is the idea that there is always more waiting to be discovered. The paranormal world is filled with questions that don't always have easy answers. What happens after we die? Are there energies and entities that exist beyond what we can see? Can ancient spiritual traditions teach us something about ourselves and the world around us? And how do we distinguish between personal experiences, spiritual beliefs, and evidence?

These are the kinds of questions that make conversations like this so fascinating.

Richie's goal is ultimately to inspire curiosity, encourage personal growth, and remind people that the world may be far more mysterious and expansive than we sometimes realize.

Join Joe and Jennifer for this fascinating conversation with Richie Grubbs, also known as Emerald Raven, as we explore paranormal investigation, spirituality, energy healing, oracle readings, storytelling, and the mysteries that continue to inspire people around the world.

Whether you're interested in the paranormal, spiritual exploration, ancient traditions, or simply enjoy hearing the stories and perspectives of people who have dedicated their lives to exploring the unknown, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

So turn down the lights, settle in, and keep an open mind. There is always more waiting to be discovered.

Big Sur, California is one of the most awe-inspiring stretches of land in the United States—but behind the beauty lies a long, eerie history of unexplained encounters, ghostly apparitions, and ancient folklore. In this episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, Joe and Jen take you deep into the supernatural heart of this rugged coastline, uncovering a hidden world of strange beings, chilling stories, and mysterious energy that has captivated explorers, writers, and locals for centuries.

We begin by setting the tone—Big Sur is not just a scenic landscape. It's a place where people report an almost tangible heaviness in the air, a presence that feels aware and watchful. Indigenous tribes such as the Esselen and Rumsen believed the area was a spiritual crossing point, a place where spirits moved freely and where the worlds overlapped. Early settlers soon discovered similar things. Journals from the 1800s describe phantom riders, disappearing lights along the cliff paths, shaking ground with no visible cause, and voices calling out from deep ravines.

Joe dives into the lesser-known accounts of famed author John Steinbeck, who privately acknowledged ghostly figures, dark watchers on the ridges, and strange lights in the wilderness. Though Steinbeck avoided writing outright supernatural tales, his works carry an undercurrent of mystery directly inspired by the region he grew up in.

Jen then introduces listeners to the various beings said to inhabit the region. These include the legendary Dark Watchers—tall shadow-like figures that stand silently on high ridges and vanish when approached. There's the White Lady of Big Sur, a ghostly woman seen drifting across Highway 1 who has caused drivers to slam on their brakes for over a century. The Mist Children—small, fog-like forms seen playing near the redwoods—continue to puzzle hikers and campers with their eerie innocence. And then there are the unexplained whistles following travelers through canyons, the oppressive feeling of being watched, and reports of time slipping in remote areas.

In the scientific portion of the show, Joe expands on possible explanations. Big Sur sits on massive quartz and granite formations—materials believed by some to amplify energy. The coastline produces intense infrasound due to waves smashing into hollow cliffs, creating vibrations linked to eerie sensations and shadow hallucinations. Magnetic anomalies caused by magnetite deposits may distort both perception and navigation. Meanwhile, atmospheric conditions and mist can refract light in strange ways, creating ghostly shapes. And for those who like fringe ideas, some theorists even suggest that places like Big Sur are "thin zones" where multiple realities briefly overlap.

Listeners are then immersed in three extended story narratives—chilling accounts of hikers being followed by tall shadow figures, campers witnessing child-sized beings made of mist, and a truck driver's terrifying ride with a silent woman in white who vanished into thin air, leaving only a cold imprint on the seat.

Finally, Jen discusses why Big Sur might be an energy hotspot. Between its fault-line intersections, mineral-rich geology, ancient tribal beliefs, acoustic anomalies, and raw natural isolation, Big Sur has all the ingredients of one of the world's most active paranormal zones.

This episode blends folklore, science, eyewitness experiences, and deep storytelling to bring you a vivid, haunting, and unforgettable journey along the cliffs and canyons of Big Sur. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, Big Sur's mysteries are impossible to ignore.

Tune in—and prepare to feel the presence watching over the ridges.

What happens when history, mythology, and the paranormal collide? In this fascinating episode of 222 Paranormal, Joe and Jennifer Shortridge take listeners on a journey into the ancient world of magic, curses, and supernatural beliefs inspired by the Toledo Museum of Art's remarkable exhibit, "Cursed! The Power of Magic in the Ancient World."

For thousands of years, civilizations across Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome believed that unseen forces shaped everyday life. Ancient people carried protective amulets, wrote powerful incantations, and even created curse tablets designed to bring misfortune upon enemies, thieves, and rivals. But were these rituals simply expressions of faith and fear, or did people truly believe these objects possessed supernatural power?

In this episode, Joe and Jennifer explore the origins of magic in the ancient world and discuss how people used spells, symbols, and sacred objects for protection, healing, and revenge. They examine real lead curse tablets discovered by archaeologists and explain why these mysterious artifacts were often buried in graves, wells, and sacred places.

The conversation then shifts toward some of the ancient world's most fascinating supernatural figures, including Pazuzu and Lamashtu. These fearsome beings played an important role in ancient beliefs surrounding illness, protection, and evil spirits. Listeners will also discover the long history of the Evil Eye and learn why protective symbols and lucky charms remain common around the world even today.

As always, the discussion doesn't stop with history. Joe and Jennifer explore modern paranormal theories surrounding haunted objects and ask thought-provoking questions. Can emotions or intentions become attached to an object? Could ancient artifacts retain some kind of energy from the people who once used them? Is there any connection between ancient beliefs and modern reports of haunted dolls, cursed antiques, and mysterious heirlooms?

The episode also dives into famous allegedly haunted objects, including Annabelle, Robert the Doll, and the infamous Dybbuk Box. While examining these stories, Joe and Jennifer remain open-minded, considering both paranormal possibilities and the psychological power of belief and expectation.

Throughout the episode, listeners are invited to consider their own views on the unknown. Would you hold an ancient amulet believed to protect its owner from evil spirits? Would you read the words from a two-thousand-year-old curse tablet? And if you discovered one of these artifacts hidden beneath your home, would you see it as a historical treasure or something far more mysterious?

This episode is a captivating blend of history, archaeology, folklore, and paranormal investigation. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or simply fascinated by ancient mysteries, this discussion offers a unique look at how humanity has wrestled with the unseen world for thousands of years.

Join Joe and Jennifer as they step into the world of ancient magic and ask one of the biggest questions of all:

Where does history end... and the paranormal begin?
