The conversation explores infamous haunted locations including Asylum 49, Fort Douglas Military Museum, Benson Grist Mill, and the mysterious Church & State building in downtown Salt Lake City. Wayne recounts hearing disembodied voices, terrifying growls, shadow figures, motion-triggered paranormal devices activating on their own, and moments where investigators felt physically ill or emotionally overwhelmed during encounters.

The episode also dives into deeper paranormal theories, including whether mirrors can act as portals, why certain spirits mimic children, the dangers of provoking entities, and how attachments may follow investigators home. Wayne explains his belief that many “child ghosts” may actually be darker entities disguising themselves to gain trust, and he discusses the importance of respect and caution during investigations.

The episode closes with Wayne reflecting on why he continues paranormal investigations despite the emotional toll, describing the work as both a passion and a way to help people experiencing unexplained activity in their homes.

The conversation dives deep into Wayne’s paranormal investigations across Utah, including terrifying encounters at haunted locations like Benson Grist Mill and a disturbing private residence where violent paranormal activity, mysterious objects, and possible dark entities left both investigators and residents shaken. Wayne discusses psychic abilities, spiritual energy, ghost hunting techniques, portals, cleansing rituals, and the emotional and physical toll paranormal investigations can take on investigators.

They revisit a trip to a downtown cemetery where a simple photograph taken in the backseat of the car captured something unsettling. 

From there, they dive into experiences in childhood homes including phantom footsteps, garage doors opening with no one there, and an eerie night filled with disembodied voices that sounded like a crowded party happening in complete darkness.   They also talk about paranormal experiences at work, strange dreams that felt prophetic and whether some people are simply more open to the supernatural than others. 

This episode is equal parts creepy, nostalgic, and personal - ghost stories with a side of friendship and chaos. 

They also revisit one of the creepiest experiences they had at a boarded-up hospital where five people witnessed the same shadowy figure gliding across the top floor in the dark. 

This episode goes a little deeper than ghost stories - exploring intuition, grief, spirituality and whether being open to the paranormal allows you to experience more of it. From sensing loved ones after death to familiar smells, moving objects and moments of comfort during hard times, this conversation explores the emotional side of believing in the unseen. 

These stories include phantom footsteps in the hallway, doors opening on their own, electronics behaving strangely, and the eerie feeling of being watched. They also talk about the emotional side of living with unexplained activity - how fear, intuition, grief and even comfort can all intertwine with supernatural experiences.

The conversation turns to Vegas, where a stay at the Luxor turned unexpectedly haunted, complete with disembodied laughter and shadow figures.  They also visited Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum, and Tina explains why she never wants to go back. 

If you love ghost stories, paranormal encounters, creepy apartment lore and friends laughing through their fear, this episode is for you. 

What starts as a test run around the kitchen table quickly unfolds into a deeper conversation about ghosts, spiritual sensitivity and encounters that neither of them can fully explain away. 

Tina shares her earliest paranormal memory - a mysterious glowing light and barking dogs moments before learning of her grandmother's death - and reflects on how that experience may have opened her to sensing spirits throughout her life.  Together, they explore beliefs about loved ones visiting before death, whether spirits carry energy or intention, and why some people seem more sensitive to paranormal activity than others. 

The episode also features eerie stories involving haunted apartments, phantom perfumes in cemeteries, doors opening on their own, objects moving, shadowy figures and encounters witnessed by multiple people. 

Blending humor, skepticism, fear and curiosity, Episode 1 sets the tone for a podcast that explores the strange, unsettling, and deeply human experiences that stay with us long after they happen.
