In the first half, Sandra Champlain, host of C2C's paranormal podcast "Shades of the Afterlife," explored what happens after death, blending science, medicine, and spirituality. She described near-death experiences and end-of-life phenomena, citing Dr. Christopher Kerr’s research on hospice patients who report seeing deceased loved ones clearly, often conveying verifiable information. She also shared insights from critical care doctor Adam Rizvi, who documented unusual phenomena such as terminal lucidity and environmental changes, like flickering lights, during patient deaths, hinting at the presence of spirits.
As a way to combat grief, she suggested that communication with departed loved ones can ease pain. Practical tips for connecting with them include automatic writing and dream visitation techniques. Automatic writing involves accessing the present moment, "and then just allow your fingertips to type or your hands to write, as if you're having a dialog with your loved one, and just keep it going... Don't try to edit it or read it as you're writing. Just let it flow," she outlined. Champlain portrayed the afterlife as a vibrant realm mirroring Earth, where souls reunite, create freely, and access vast knowledge, including the Akashic records. “Those in the afterlife say they can touch each other and hold each other and do things just as real as we feel them here on Earth,” she said, illustrating a tangible, interactive afterlife experience.
She also referenced Dr. Ian Stevenson’s decades-long research into reincarnation, noting most cases occur in Eastern cultures. There have been compelling examples in the West, such as James Leininger, a boy who recalled a past life as a fighter pilot, and a child who accurately depicted the Titanic’s design, indicating that some children retain memories from previous lives.

In the latter half, independent researcher and author Fritz Zimmerman discussed his extensive research into ancient American burial mounds and the presence of giants, whom he believes were the ancient Amorites who traveled to North America from Babylon. Zimmerman, who has spent over 30 years studying these sites across the Ohio Valley and surrounding states, described uncovering around 500 accounts of giant skeletons. Some burial mounds contained skeletons measuring up to 9½ feet tall, with affidavits from 19th-century witnesses attesting to their size, he marveled. Zimmerman pointed to a pattern of institutional secrecy, explaining how many giant skeletons were confiscated by museums like the Smithsonian and hidden from public view.
He detailed the nature of the burial mounds —typically conical or dome-shaped— and their use by ancestral worshippers, connecting the spirits associated with these mounds to biblical references such as the Book of Enoch. He also shared numerous paranormal experiences at the sites, including encounters with shadow people, disembodied voices, UFOs, and “little people” or dwarf-like entities that witnesses and even law enforcement officers have seen manifest physically.
The Amorite giants, whom he characterized as a different species with “furrowed brow, sloped forehead,” and archaic skull features resembling those of Neanderthals, were advanced in mathematics and land surveying, and Zimmerman theorized that they intermixed with the Native Americans. Earthworks in the Ohio Valley, like the Newark and Grave Creek mounds, align with significant solar dates and incorporate Pythagorean triangles, reflecting sophisticated ancient knowledge. He also reported that ancient copper weapons were found in the Great Lakes region, closely resembling those from the Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age, and that the Amorites likely came to North America to mine the copper.
