  • Classic paranormal podcast to love

    Had to stop listening for a while after the loss of Jerry but I know that is the last thing in the world he would have wanted. He would still be making episodes from heaven if he could but so happy his angel on earth Tracy is keeping it going. And thankful to have had the chance to see a live show in Detroit of all places. My hubby always says no one tells a story like Jerry. One of our favorite memories was this live show and meeting them. Such amazing people and I’m happy to say I’m listening ... more
