Assess Afterlife Evidence and Medium Readings Critically and Avoid $300 Ghost Detectors with Kenny Biddle, Chief Investigator for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry Episode 48

How good are Liz's protocols when getting a medium reading? Are they different than Kenny's? What are ways to detect cold-readings? Kenny shares some really entertaining "ghost hunts," and how to make sure you assess everything skeptically. Both Liz and Kenny like evidence, try to avoid belief, have the sense of humor of a twelve-year-old, and challenge how one another think, all of which makes this an especially fun episode. Kenny Biddle is the Chief Investigator for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, skeptical investigator and has a column in the Skeptical Inquirer. Despite his skeptical take (more so than Liz), he has taught a class alongside Loyd Auerbach at The Rhine Education Center "Skeptical Approach to Parapsychology." He used to "believe it all," unskeptically, but after some absurd experiences, he changed his mind and learned how to logically evaluate. While he has concluded differently than Liz and Loyd, and has not concluded an afterlife (or PSI) in general is highly probable, he shares how to protect against fraudulent psychic mediums, how to detect cold-readings, and shares some of the most ridiculous frauds out there, such as $300 ghost-detectors. He has some really fun stories from the field of "ghost-hunting," and he and Liz actually do not disagree on techniques and most of the conclusions.

Full show notes for Did a Psychic Medium Predict 9/11? Psychic Medium Joe Perreta In the first episode of WTF Just Happened?!, where we bring you evidence of an afterlife and psi without the woo, we speak with Psychic Medium Joe Perreta. He talks with Liz about some bat shit experiences, such as a dream in which he predicted 9/11 when he was 12 years old and some surprising synchronicities. He explains that he questions his own abilities and discusses how a book he read, a dream, and another medium all came together to make him decide to pursue being a medium in the first place. Joe is skeptical himself, and he and Liz discuss some scientists they love, and some mind-blowing readings he has given that helped him feel confident something genuine was going on. Joe is certified by the Forever Family Foundation and participates in scientific research and studies conducted by major universities.

Introduction - WTF Just Happened?!

Introduction - WTF Just Happened?!

Welcome to my podcast WTF Just Happened?! All about grief and the evidence of the afterlife with none of the woo. Listen for conversations with normal people about weird shit. To see all podcast episodes, where to listen and more details, click here. A couple of years ago my dad died and I was shattered. Being raised an atheist, I assumed anything like an afterlife was nothing more than wishful thinking. However, I took a shot in the dark and decided to explore if there was any valid evidence that we could survive death in some form. Something that didn't require belief. While I expected to find nothing, I was astounded by what I found. There were rational scientists, researchers, doctors (and no not Dr Oz) who were studying all sorts of “not normal” things such as mediums, Near Death Experiences, and kids who remembered past lives. I assumed I was somehow not seeing the "catch" and decided to see for myself. I met mediums, researchers, parapsychologists and more. While I saw a lot of nonsense and fraud, I also met a select group of people who seemed to defy the laws of the universe. And that's what this podcast is about... Me talking with the many people who have helped me change my mind - some are researchers, some are mediums, and some are just regular people who have had really weird experiences. I still consider myself an atheist and I still don’t consider myself a spiritual person - I am an evidential person. I hope that you will listen to what I and the people who come on here have to say with curiosity and an open mind. You don't have to draw any conclusions. You don't even need to believe anything said. But at least consider what I and the people who come on here have to say. And I hope you get to have many of your own WTF Just Happened?! laws of the universe defying moments too. Enjoy!
