In the first half, Joshua P. Warren, paranormal investigator and host of the Strange Things podcast, shared how to create or prevent paranormal activity and delved into topics such as ghosts, hauntings, and his latest tool, the Tepaphone. As to why there is heightened paranormal activity around Halloween, he suggested that collective desire and openness amplify ghostly phenomena, and that as the Earth tilts away from the sun during this season, the ionosphere stabilizes, allowing subtle paranormal energies to become more apparent. Warren differentiated between types of ghosts: "imprints," which are environmental recordings of past events, and interactive entities, which may be spirits lingering due to unresolved issues or trauma.
"We can definitely create the conditions that are right for them," he said, highlighting the role of human psychic energy in generating paranormal events. Sharing a personal experience, he recounted investigating a haunted farmhouse filled with dozens of dolls and a pair of mirrors reflecting infinitely. A photograph he took revealed a "winged being... almost like an inverted angel," and he concluded that two mirrors facing each other can create an "infinite tunnel of electromagnetism" that may serve as a portal for spirits. "If you moved them out of sync, the homeowner would tell me a week later the activity had stopped," he added.
Warren discussed the impact of humidity on paranormal phenomena, noting that dry environments enhance electrostatic charges, while humid environments reduce them, so you could run a humidifier to reduce activity, and a dehumidifier to increase. Additionally, devices like ionizers, ozone generators, and Tesla coils can alter electromagnetic fields, he reported, and potentially induce or quell supernatural events. He also offered simple remedies such as rearranging furniture or confronting unwanted presences directly and telling them to leave. Speaking of the Tepaphone, he described it as a modern adaptation of ancient magical practices involving projecting intention via light. It functions, he said, as "a carrier wave that takes that intention out into the world," and is effective for influencing paranormal activity remotely.

In the latter half, Edmondo Crimi, curator of the VAMPA Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, shared insights into his extensive collection of paranormal and antique artifacts. With over 45 years of experience collecting, his museum houses the world's largest assortment of vampire-killing sets, exorcism chairs, talking boards, haunted dolls, and art depicting the supernatural. One of his favorite items is an 18th-century hearse outfitted to hunt vampires. Crimi's fascination with the supernatural stems from family history-- his grandfather's brother and uncle were exorcist priests in Sicily.
He recounted attending a Vatican exorcist conference with 350 exorcists and candidates, emphasizing the academic and serious nature of the practice: "It's not mass hysteria. It's just a strong belief in a concept." Regarding vampires, he distinguishes folklore from fiction, noting many of the museum artifacts predate Bram Stoker's Dracula. He views vampires as "more of a demonic entity" than an actual fanged creature. Crimi reported that the museum is visited by a spirit, Abigail, an eight-year-old girl who lived on the property when it was a dairy farm. She is playful and not nefarious, he remarked, often moving items and making noises.
He described a baffling event on the museum's opening day when his TV remote vanished for hours, only to reappear in a place he swore it couldn't have reached: "I was actually afraid... there was no way it got from one location to the other." Crimi also detailed a dangerous encounter with a haunted grandfather clock. After acquiring it from distressed owners, the clock toppled on him, shattering glass and injuring his hand. The clock's dark history included accidents and misfortunes linked to previous owners. The museum offers tours that include a "cleansing room," where donated items believed to harbor spirits are prayed over in the dark.
