Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Detective Who Investigates The Paranormal - The Paranormal Podcast 951
Q: What changed your approach to paranormal work after years in law enforcement?
He explains transitioning from a strictly evidentiary mindset to a structured investigative protocol, using multiple equipment readings, documenting weather and environmental context, and staying open to possibilities while seeking solid, defendable conclusions.
The Detective Who Investigates The Paranormal - The Paranormal Podcast 951
Q: Can you tell us what happened on that night in the Miami jail?
Lawrence recounts seeing a figure in uniform on the catwalk, which prompted calls to others and a belief at first that it was the lieutenant, though colleagues later claimed no one was out there, creating a foundational mystery that helped steer his interest toward formal investigation.
His Past Life Memories Were Horrifying - The Paranormal Podcast 947
Q: When did you realize this may be more than a mental health issue and could be connected to a past life?
It became clearer after meeting the family and discovering corroborating details that aligned with the man I believed I remembered, including names, ranks, family history, and battlefield events, which shifted the interpretation from a random memory to a linked past life narrative.
His Past Life Memories Were Horrifying - The Paranormal Podcast 947
Q: So okay, so you kind of visualized that you were a soldier in a battle, in the battle for this city. After that episode, how long did it last and what were your thoughts immediately afterward?
The initial reaction was to treat it as a mental malady at first, but as the memories became more coherent and persistent, I sought grounding and validation from mental health professionals, historians, and eventually family members who could corroborate details, which gradually transformed doubt into acceptance.
The UFO Bombshell BEFORE Roswell - The Paranormal Podcast 946
Q: What new data or sources does your book bring to light about this crash?
Smith cites eyewitness testimony from the minister's family, archival vaults in Cape Girardeau, and leaked reminiscences about storerooms and jars containing alien bodies, arguing these details support a more nuanced pre-Roswell chronology.
