In the first half, criminologist and forensic photographer Paul Rimmasch discussed the unique intersection of law enforcement and the paranormal. "Law enforcement officers, CSIs, they love to tell stories," he disclosed, pointing out how the slower moments on the job often give rise to sharing unusual experiences. One particularly compelling story he recounted involved a death investigation in a trailer park where the scene resembled a horror movie set. The deceased woman was found in a dark, musty room covered in black mold, with a squishy floor beneath a wet carpet. Most strikingly, the words "Who or what are you?" were penciled on her bedroom door. Rimmasch remains puzzled by the message, wondering whether it was a sign of her hallucinating or if she'd experienced a paranormal event.
He emphasized that many of these experiences occur in isolated, emotionally charged environments, suggesting there is some kind of energy that can be attached to clothing or evidence from homicide victims. Rimmasch recalled a vivid story of a colleague named Mitch, who, after investigating a double homicide, experienced a series of strange occurrences at home, including unexplained power outages and his dog reacting to unseen presences. An intuitive visitor identified a ghost attached to Mitch, believed to be the murdered woman from the crime scene. It was possible that "her spirit had attached to him somehow and had followed him home," illustrating how spirits may cling not only to objects but also to people, he explained.
The conversation also touched on the difficulty in distinguishing between paranormal and natural explanations, with Rimmasch noting that belief systems heavily influence interpretation. Another anecdote involved an Alexa device inexplicably activating during a death investigation, highlighting the unpredictable nature of these encounters.

In the latter half, Alisha Das, an authority on spirituality and angels, discussed her upcoming book, "Your Angelic Ancestry." Angels, she explained, act as "a bridge from the divine to the human" in their role as messengers and extensions of God's presence. Drawing from diverse faiths, she noted a near-universal belief in angels, even among some atheists. She recounted her own dramatic childbirth story and how she believes Archangel Michael appeared to her midwife, underscoring how angels can intercede at crucial times.
Das affirmed the belief that everyone is assigned a guardian angel, describing it as a gorgeous relationship where angels learn from human free will while providing protection and guidance from the celestial realm. She emphasized the accessibility of angels, explaining that connecting with a guardian angel or archangel is "really a matter of willingness" and patience. "At some point, we know we are welded to something spiritual, to something that loves us so much that if we listen, we are protected," she added.
She urged listeners to cultivate awareness and openness to angelic messages, sharing the poignant reminder: "They are always singing to us...But are we listening?" She also spoke about auras, describing them as multi-colored and reflective of one's current state, which can be cleansed through prayer, positivity, and spiritual practices. She revealed her unique experience of hearing and speaking an "angelic language" from early childhood, which she believes connects her to archangels and serves as a conduit for angelic guidance.
