This episode of Splintered Spirits welcomes viral paranormal reaction creator Fuel Neve, for a funny, thoughtful, and unexpectedly personal conversation about ghost encounters, horror, social media, and why the paranormal does not always have to be deadly serious. Fuel shares how his loud, hilarious reactions to strange internet videos helped build his following, and why John Santa’s ghost-hunting clips are perfect material. Then things get genuinely spooky. Fuel recounts the shadowy figure known as “Old Man Mr. Fox” from his grandmother’s basement in Crown Point, Indiana, a presence his relatives later admitted they had seen too. He also relives a terrifying solo hotel stay in Inverness, Scotland, where the temperature plunged, appliances turned on by themselves, and a closet door shook from the other side. Gary, John, and Fuel get into the big question behind it all: What are spirits? From residual hauntings and intelligent entities to time, dimensions, and the possibility that paranormal experiences are something the human brain cannot fully process, this is a lively paranormal conversation with plenty of laughs, strong language, and more than a few “WTF is wrong with you?” moments! @Santaparanormal @Fuelneve

What happens when a terrifying encounter in your own bedroom becomes the beginning of a life in paranormal investigation? On this episode of Splintered Spirits, Ghost Hunters and Ghost Nation investigator Shari DeBenedetti shares the chilling story that changed everything: unexplained activity in her family home, a physical encounter she still cannot explain, and a faceless doppelgänger that looked exactly like her then-boyfriend. Long before joining Jason Hawes and The Atlantic Paranormal Society, TAPS, Shari spent years investigating private cases across Massachusetts and upstate New York. She talks about building an investigative team in the 1990s, working with the limited equipment available at the time, and why a logical, evidence-first approach matters even when a case becomes deeply personal. She also tells stories that never made it to television, including the moment a skeptical engineer was violently thrown across a room. From Ghost Hunters to Ghost Hunters Returns, this is a candid, funny, and unsettling conversation about spirits, fear, skepticism, and the real work of helping people feel safe in their own homes again. If you love paranormal podcasts, true ghost stories, haunted-house investigations, EVP evidence, or behind-the-scenes stories from the Ghost Hunters universe, press play and dive into the conversation. @ShariMarie826

Chris McKinnell, grandson of legendary paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, joins Splintered Spirits for a conversation about ghosts, consciousness, fear, and the real stories behind the Warren legacy. With more than four decades of fieldwork across 10,000 cases in 18 countries, Chris brings a perspective shaped by firsthand experience, psychology, religion, cultural anthropology, and a lifetime spent around the unexplained. Chris discusses why he moved beyond the demonology framework associated with the Warrens, why he believes fear can make paranormal experiences worse, and what he thinks spirits actually are. He also talks about the true cases that inspired The Conjuring universe, the modern obsession with Annabelle, haunted objects, psychic ability, residual energy, and why the paranormal may have far more to do with human consciousness than horror movies. This is a grounded, surprising episode of Splintered Spirits with one of the most connected voices in paranormal investigation. @TheWarrenFiles @santaparanormal

Reverend Meg joins Splintered Spirits for a grounded, funny, and deeply personal conversation about psychic mediumship, spiritual awakening, spirit guides, and the nature of the nonphysical world. An ordained minister and licensed psychic medium through the Chapel of Awareness, Meg shares how a former atheist began experiencing powerful intuition, déjà vu, and encounters she could not easily explain, eventually leading her into years of spiritual study and ministry. We talk about ADHD and learning to separate intuition from a busy mind, why meditation and skepticism matter in psychic development, and why Meg believes mediumship is a skill that requires practice, mentorship, and verifiable exercises. She also breaks down her view of ghosts, guides, and consciousness after death, including why she sees spirits as nonphysical energy rather than frightening human-like entities. What are spirits? Can paranormal investigators benefit from a more spiritual approach? And why does Meg believe we may be less separate from the spirit world than we think? This episode explores paranormal experiences, psychic abilities, spiritual healing, shadow work, religion, fear, and the ongoing search for peace, purpose, and connection.

In this episode of Splintered Spirits, Gary sits down with Mizz Paranormal, Cat, and Luna for an unfiltered conversation about paranormal experiences, ghost hunting ethics, and the growing fight for civility in the paranormal community. The three guests share the personal experiences that shaped their beliefs and drove them to speak publicly about what they see happening in the field. But this is also a conversation about accountability. Mizz Paranormal, Cat, and Luna break down what they feel is the line between paranormal entertainment and authentic investigation, why debunking is a necessary part of ghost hunting, and how misinformation, rage bait, bullying, harassment, and parasocial fandoms can poison online paranormal spaces. Gary pushes back from the perspective of a producer, leading to a real discussion about transparency, content creation, evidence, the Conjuring House controversy, and whether the paranormal community can make room for disagreement without becoming cruel - which this conversation proves: it can. If you love paranormal podcasts, ghost stories, spirit communication,  and honest conversations about the ethics of ghost hunting, this episode goes deeper than the jump scares. It is a funny, candid, occasionally controversial look at belief, integrity, and what it takes to defend truth and human decency in a field where nobody can fully prove what happens after death.

The Oman House is a three story home on Cielo Drive in Beverly Hills, built in 2002 on a vacant lot just feet from where the Sharon Tate and Manson family murders took place in 1969. Owner David Oman has spent decades living with unexplained phenomena in the house, from phantom footsteps and vanishing tools during construction to figurines and large dolls that topple on their own in rooms packed with cameras, all against a backdrop of Native American and old Hollywood history. In this episode of Splintered Spirits, I join David inside what has been called one of the most haunted houses in America for a full walkthrough of his home and his experiences. He shares how a childhood fascination with the supernatural evolved into a more skeptical, investigative mindset and recounts key moments, including the night he woke to see a full bodied apparition he later recognized as victim Jay Sebring standing at the foot of his bed and silently pointing toward the hillside next door. Whether you believe in ghosts or just love true crime and high strangeness, here's your chance to hear the story of the Oman House from the man who actually lives there. @Santaparanormal @davidoman

What happens when a love of haunted history, horror movies, folklore, and ghost hunting brings two people together? In this episode of Splintered Spirits, we sit down with Cara Cilento and Gail Gamble of Nine Lives Paranormal to explore their path from Italian folk magic, Ozarks legends, abandoned asylums, and a first ghost hunt to becoming paranormal investigators, authors, educators, and creators of one of New Jersey’s most ambitious paranormal events. From ghost cats at the Conjuring House and Shanley Hotel to a chilling shadow figure encounter at Pennhurst Asylum, Cara and Gail share the experiences that made the unknown impossible to ignore. We dig into paranormal investigation techniques, haunted locations, spirit communication, EVP evidence, spirit boxes, custom ghost-hunting equipment, EMF anomalies, intuitive sensitivity, historical research, and the question at the center of every investigation: what are spirits? Cara and Gail explain their balanced approach to investigating hauntings, where Gail brings the technology, data, and experimental equipment, while Cara describes the physical and intuitive sensations that guide her toward paranormal hotspots. They also share why respect, ethics, open-mindedness, and validating history matter more than provocation or sensationalism. Plus, we take a deep dive into The Hollow Paracon & Film Fest, the New Jersey paranormal convention and horror film festival created by Nine Lives Paranormal. Hear how The Hollow grew from a small paranormal bazaar into a large-scale gathering of ghost hunters, horror filmmakers, paranormal researchers, vendors, workshops, haunted attractions, and independent genre films. If you love ghosts, hauntings, paranormal research, haunted asylums, folklore, supernatural stories, horror culture, or the ongoing search for evidence beyond the veil, this is an episode you do not want to miss.

In this episode of Splintered Spirits, Gary and John sit down with paranormal teacher and Norse mystic Kaedrich Olsen, a man who quite literally says he was “born into the paranormal.” From growing up in a haunted house and attending spiritualist church as a kid to teaching seances and Norse mysticism, Kaedrich has spent decades refining a practical set of “10 rules” for dealing with ghosts, spirits, and the unseen. Instead of rehashing ghost stories, we dig into the real question: what actually happened to him over the years that forced each of these rules into existence? Across the conversation we walk through those rules one by one and trace them back to lived experiences. Kaedrich explains how being a terrified kid in a haunted basement led to his first rule, “similarities attract and perpetuate,” why learning to laugh at strange activity completely changed his relationship with hauntings, and how years of helping investigators with attachments and problem homes convinced him you must “test and validate everything.” We get into Ouija boards, seances, spirit attachments, fear states, energetic boundaries, shadow work, “no veil” theory, and what spirits are from his consciousness-based model. If you’ve ever wondered whether your mindset can make a haunting worse, why some people seem like ghost magnets, or how to safely communicate with loved ones without gadgets, this episode is built to challenge your assumptions and give you a new playbook for coexisting with the paranormal. Perfect for fans of paranormal investigation, ghost hunting, psychic development, Norse mysticism, and shadow work, this is a high-signal, low-BS deep dive into how the unseen actually behaves in real life and what to do about it when it shows up. @kaedrich @Santaparanormal
