Paranormal researcher and podcaster Morgan Knudsen joins Jim to explore some of the deepest questions in the field. Morgan shares her unique family connection to the history of parapsychology, her early inspirations, and how she came to develop her “Teaching the Living” approach to hauntings. She explains why our own consciousness and emotions may play a bigger role in paranormal experiences than we realize, and why hauntings often act as mirrors of unresolved wounds. The conversation ranges from the nature of reality itself to the possibility that we may be living in something like a simulation. Morgan describes a powerful VR experience that shifted her perspective on consciousness, and she and Jim discuss the balance between frightening encounters and uplifting ones, the “trickster” element in the paranormal, and why humor and hope are essential in this field. Morgan also gives a look into her podcast Supernatural Circumstances and her work at EntitySeeker, which bring rigorous research and fresh insight to the mysteries that continue to fascinate us.
