What Lies Beyond: Paranormal Phenomena, Mystical Experience - Part 1

Welcome to a new episode of the Deadly Departed podcast, where we explore the mysteries that linger at the edge of our reality. In this episode, “What Lies Beyond,” host Jock Brocas sits down with author, academic, and long-time Society for Psychical Research member Matt Colborn. Together, they dive deep into the world of paranormal and mystical experiences, challenging the boundaries between hard science, exceptional human encounters, and the unexplained phenomena that weave through our culture.

Matt shares his personal journey—from haunted childhood homes and dream precognition to academic studies in neuroscience and bee memory. He explores how anomalous events, often dismissed or explained away in the West, might be essential to understanding the human condition and even reshaping our society for the better.

This conversation is a tapestry of ghost stories, groundbreaking research, philosophical questions about consciousness, and a thoughtful critique of materialist science. You’ll hear reflections on everything from classic Victorian parapsychology cases to the big resurgence of interest in past-life studies—and how these experiences could transform us individually and collectively.

If you’ve ever wondered what we lose when we sideline the strange or mystical, or if embracing the unexplainable might offer a path to a more connected, humane future, this episode is for you. So join us as we uncover just what lies beyond the surface of our minds, our societies, and perhaps even life itself.
