Zachary Treitz and Christian Hansen, creators of the Netflix series The Octopus Murders, join me to discuss their multi-year investigation into this vast conspiracy and the mysterious deaths surrounding it, including the journalist who was originally uncovering it, Danny Casolaro. I wanted to ask them what it was like to immerse themselves in such a complex mystery and how they managed to stay sane and grounded throughout the process.

Danielle Aykroyd, also known by her stage name Vera Sola, is a singer-songwriter, poet, and multi-instrumentalist. She is the daughter of the actor and comedian Dan Aykroyd who came from a long line of spiritualists. His family was heavily involved in the movement and the movie Ghostbusters was actually based on the experiences of his great grandfather. 

His great-grandfather, Samuel Augustus Aykroyd, was a dentist and an avid spiritualist who held séances at the family home in Ontario, Canada. He was deeply interested in communicating with spirits, which was a popular practice during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Samuel Aykroyd even kept detailed journals documenting his experiences and beliefs.

I sit down with Dr. Bruce Greyson, one of the world’s foremost experts on Near-Death Experiences, who has dedicated nearly 40 years to studying this fascinating phenomenon. He is the author of several books, including After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond. Dr. Greyson is a Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia and the former director of UVA’s Division of Perceptual Studies.

Dr. Greyson’s interest in Near-Death Experiences began just months after graduating from medical school, when an unconscious patient in the emergency room later described an out-of-body experience in vivid detail. This encounter challenged his beliefs about the relationship between the mind and the brain, sparking a lifelong journey of scientific exploration that has led to over a hundred medical publications on Near-Death Experiences.
