Paranormal Anthropologist Reya Mazzola

On today's A24 Vibe Discussion, Eric kicks off the Halloween month in style by speaking to Reya Mazzola, a Paranormal Anthropologist currently working on her PhD at Wayne State University in Detroit. Reya specifically focuses on the history of human relationships with ghosts and haunted places, a subject that pertains to many A24 horror films. Eric and Reya touch on many spooky subjects including: the hand in Talk To Me, the demon lord Paimon from Hereditary, and the truth behind the colonial witchcraft depicted in The Witch.
