  Episode 58 - Interview with Wilhelmina Stöcker - Past Life Hypnotist

  Aug 13, 202651 min

  On this episode, Christy and Kathy continue the conversation on past life regressions while they play an interview with Wilhelmina Stöcker, a certified hypnotist and past life regression practitioner who founded Exist in 2003 and has worked as a life coach, author, healer, radio host, and intuitive artist. Wilhelmina describes her early openness to guidance, her spontaneous past life experiences, and how she formally began hypnotherapy in 2016. She explains past life regression as an interactive hypnosis process involving intake, guided relaxation, recorded sessions, and client-led imagery, noting results depend on what a person allows and fear can block depth. She says regressions can reveal patterns, relationships across lifetimes, and lessons that bring clarity, forgiveness, and healing. The hosts discuss cultural influence, skepticism, alternate explanations, and emphasize that even if unproven, regression can still be therapeutic and empowering.

  Episode 57 - Past Lives and Reincarnation

  Jul 30, 202656 min

  On this episode, Christy and Kathy discuss past lives and reincarnation, questioning whether reported memories, emotions, phobias, and skills are genuine or better explained by psychology, culture, suggestion, coincidence, and how memory is constructed. They define reincarnation as the soul or consciousness surviving death and being reborn to learn lessons, note its ancient roots and prominence in Indian and Buddhist traditions, and address how researchers try to verify claims without engaging theology. They review documented cases including the Pollock twins, Maung Nyo's claims of being a WWII Japanese soldier, James Leininger's plane-crash nightmares and WWII pilot details, Cameron Macaulay's Isle of Barra home descriptions, and Ryan Hammons' Hollywood life tied to Marty Martyn, while weighing cryptomnesia, parental influence, confirmation bias, phobias, and hypnosis risks. They announce a follow-up interview for the next episode with Wilhelmina Stöcker's hypnotic past-life regressions.

  Episode 56 - Paranormal Culture

  Jul 16, 202644 min

  On this episode of The Psychic and the Skeptic, the hosts discuss how paranormal belief remains woven into American culture—shaping entertainment, technology, social media, spirituality, and tourism—despite controversial or unproven evidence. After noting the show is moving to a bi-weekly schedule and reflecting on Fourth of July celebrations, they focus on how TV and movies popularized modern ghost hunting, teams, and tools like EVPs, spirit boxes, EMF detectors, and thermal cameras, while also creating unrealistic expectations and misinformation. They describe filming with TAPS and how editing can distort investigations, discuss the rise and decline of paranormal TV and post-COVID shifts to platforms like TikTok, and warn that apps and AI-manipulated media make evidence harder to trust. They also cover paranormal tourism, conferences, online communities, folklore, cryptids, and UFO culture, emphasizing open skepticism, curiosity, and responsible investigation.
