Blinded, Peer Reviewed Scientific Studies on Psychic Mediums with Dr. Julie Beischel, Cofounder and Director of Research at the Windbridge Research Center and the Windbridge Institute, LLC. Episode 46

Psychic Medium Rebecca Anne LoCicero is not only highly evidential, but she is also hilarious, direct, smart, has been studied by Yale University, and is certified by the Forever Family Foundation. Full show notes for Skeptics and Psychics - Psychic Medium Anne LoCicero Answers the Hard Questions In this episode, that was originally streamed on IG live, Rebecca delves into, and answers as best she can, the hard questions Liz and the audience throw at her. “What substance or molecular structure is our consciousness once we die, if it survives?” "Once a psychic makes a prediction, can we change the outcome?" "When does consciousness first enter the body (in a fetus), when does it leave when we die, and where exactly does it go?" "How does a psychic medium see or hear spirits?" Liz and Rebecca discuss ideas for measuring consciousness leaving and entering a body. While the science is definitely not there yet, the two can speculate. Rebecca also thinks this consciousness that ties into our body is all a form of energy, and one day we will be able to measure it further. Ideally, she thinks if we could do experiments on women who are pregnant we could learn a lot about the start of consciousness. Rebecca explains the difference between giving a psychic reading versus a medium reading. She also shares three amazing times she got highly accurate information. One time she got health information which proved to be true, about a woman from her dad who had passed. Another time she was reading a highly skeptical man, bringing in his father who also had passed away. The man was intrigued, but still somewhat skeptical until his dad had Rebecca give a final bit of information as the reading was finishing that convinced him this really had to be his father.

Darren McEnaney is the host of Seeking i, a podcast that speaks with the top researchers of afterlife evidence, psi, and consciousness. Darren is a self-described "lay researcher of consciousness focused on anomalous experience and life beyond physical death." Full show notes for The Evidence that Convinced Two Skeptics There is an Afterlife. Darren McEnaney of Seeking I. Part 2: Episode 8 Liz and Darren pick up where they left off last week. Liz continues talking about how she once bent a spoon, which Darren clarifies was with her energy, not strength. Liz also talks about how she could not do it again the next time she went to a spoon-bending event, which actually ended up adding to the evidence that spoon-bending is real. They both talk about major misconceptions of how mediums get their information and how that makes people think mediums are cheating when they aren't. Liz and Darren both share examples of this from medium readings they have had and they share the best medium reading they had and the worst. They also talk about NDEs - Near Death Experiences and a remarkable phenomena that has occurred during them referred to as Peak in Darien. This is where someone who has an NDE encounters loved ones who have died, but this includes a loved one who has died suddenly and unexpectedly. The two also discuss skeptics, and what can really be called pseudo-skeptics. The late James Randi, whose stage name is The Amazing Randi, was a well-known skeptic who set out to catch mediums and other people claiming inexplicable abilities cheating. He set up a one million dollar challenge for anyone who showed abilities to come and try to win this money by demonstrating their abilities. No one ever won. Why is this the case if people really have abilities? Liz asks Darren to share a time or personal experience he had which blew him away and demonstrated that there was most likely life after death. He shares an amazing and moving story about how after his two dogs passed away, they made sure to let him and his parents know they were still around. Darren's parents were as astounded as he was by these signs from his dogs on the other side.

Darren McEnaney is the host of Seeking i, a podcast that speaks with the top researchers of afterlife evidence, psi, and consciousness. Darren is a self described "lay researcher of consciousness focused on anomalous experience and life beyond physical death." Full show notes for What Convinced Two Skeptics that There is an Afterlife?: Darren McEnaney of Seeking i Darren always assumed consciousness outside of a brain and an afterlife was fantasy as a child. When he became severely depressed at only 12 years old, he discovered NDE’s - Near Death Experiences, as he was searching for some meaning to life. He was interested in them but dismissed them as nothing more than hallucinations to cope with the trauma of dying. He then learned that many people have the exact same experiences and "hallucinations." He was so intrigued by this that he researched further, and was astounded to learn that many people actually report information that is verified. One case that still stands out to him is the Pam Reynolds case.r. Both of them discuss the concept of proof versus evidence. No there can never be actual proof of an afterlife, but that does not mean there can't be a preponderance of compelling and valid evidence that we survive death. Darren talks about how proof isn't even the goal of science. Liz shares that for her it is when all the evidence comes together that she becomes convinced. The one common thread explanation of all the evidence from NDE's to mediumship is survival of consciousness. The two discuss that there is no good explanation for how a brain, which is material mass and matter, creates and forms consciousness. There is as much of an explanation for how a material brain can do that as there is that consciousness could be stored in a cloud somewhere and downloaded to a brain. An issue they both are concerned about is that this research is not neutral. Everyone truly hopes there is life after death. Could this deep wish affect how people process and interpret the evidence? Are Darren and Lis just seeing things how they hope they are? While both have this concern, Darren and Liz both make reasonable arguments for why they end up concluding that is not the case. Liz also shares some tangible evidence she has gotten that show there really seems to be more than just a material world.

Michell Little is host of the Podcast The Spiritual Witch and is a practicing Wiccan. Full show notes for Did Michell Have an NDE (Near Death Experience) as a Baby?: The Spiritual Witch Michell Little Michell and Liz - the sciencey skeptic who has been investigating afterlife evidence, continue their conversation from last episode. Michell became a Wiccan after stumbling across a book she really related to. Was it that simple? While Michell says this officially is NOT the way to do it, she went with her intuition. Michell is now working on divination. She is working with the Elder Futhark runes which are a type of ancient alphabet that helps her speak with her spirit guides. She also uses a pendulum that has an Angelite crystal. This pendulum with the Angelite crystal keeps giving Michell accurate answers to her questions, some that even are evidential. But Liz who is skeptical wonders, isn't it small micro movements that we are doing unconsciously, called ideomotor movements, that makes Michell (or anyone) move the pendulum towards an answer. But if so, that is still really interesting, because maybe we know things on a much deeper and unconscious level than we realize. They then discuss NDE's - Near Death Experiences. One fascinating thing is Michell had died for about 3 minutes when she was a baby. She wonders if she had an NDE. She has a lot of the characteristics and traits such as a maturity. She preferred hanging out with grownups when she was little. Liz and Michell delve in and discuss the many traits of people who have had NDE's and try to figure out of Michell could have been one of them. They close with any suggestions Michell would have for anyone interested in becoming a Wiccan.

Michell Little is host of the Podcast The Spiritual Witch and is a practicing Wiccan. Full show notes for Should We Hex Donald Trump?: The Spiritual Witch Michell Little Michell talks with Liz of WTF Just Happened?! about how she defines spirituality, the difference between spirituality and religion, and what does it mean to Michell to be spiritual in her own life. Being a Wiccan also brings lots of judgment and misunderstanding from Michell's Christian culture and family. How does Michell manage that? Michell explains what the Wiccan belief system is, what book do they follow, if any. What is a Grimoire and what spells work for Michell. Liz questions Michell on any evidence she has ever seen that the spells work and the two share their love of animals. The two get into a philosophical discussion regarding the ethics of casting spells and hex's. Is it okay to cast a spell to help someone's life? Could that cause harm? What about hexing someone (casting a negative spell.) The answer is pretty clear if it is your annoying neighbor, but what about cruel people who cause harm? Should people cast a hex on Donald Trump? Is he actually doing good in ways we don't see? Listen to learn about what it means to be Wiccan and to learn more about Michell Little of The Spiritual Witch.
