Do you know what color your aura is? In this episode we discover the unseen horrors of the spirit realm by strapping on a pair of century-old "aura goggles" and gazing at Greg's crusty energy field. Plus, we break down the science behind auras and reveal how to see them yourself, Connor investigates a mysterious chemical compound called dicyanin that inspired John Carpenter's "They Live!", Dana poisons herself, and Gordon the cat receives a psychic reading.

In 2014, Dr. Kristy Sumner coupled her passion for travel, history and the paranormal to form Soul Sisters Paranormal, an all-female team, made up of Sumner, her two sisters and two friends.

As a team of 5 investigators, Soul Sisters Paranormal traveled to some of the most historic, and haunted locations in the U.S.  This was to determine for themselves if spirit activity does exist, and to highlight the rich history of each location. The team has traveled and investigated numerous locations, to include:  the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (WV), The Lizzie Borden House (MA), the Villisca Ax Murder House (IA), the St. Augustine Lighthouse (FL), Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary (TN) and many others.

In 2020, Soul Sisters Paranormal moved to a two-investigator format, with Kristy and her twin sister, Dr. Jenny Sumner, conducting the paranormal investigations. As a two-person team, they've investigated the Attala County Jail (MS), the Old Southern Funeral Home (MS), the Grand Old Lady Hotel (NC), the Hamilton County Jail (FL) and the USS North Carolina (NC).  In 2021, Kristy and her friend, Miranda Young, co-founded a company named “History, Highways, and Haunts, LLC” which is operated out of the historic and haunted Historic Scott County Jail in Huntsville, TN.

Prior to forming Soul Sister Paranormal, Kristy, who holds a PhD in Public Affairs with an emphasis on Criminal Justice, was a senior director for a Registered Traveler company focused on biometric clearances for the traveling public, she was a senior consultant for a biometric credentialing company, and she was college professor at Metro State College of Denver and the University of Central Florida. Jenny, who also holds a PhD in Public Affairs, is currently a director at the University of Central Florida.

It's always a great time chatting with Kristy about the paranormal and her experiences. I'm thankful she stopped by A Juicy Pear Podcast, and look forward to her coming on the show again.

Yes, you read that right: We are talking about the Warren's werewolf case and you might be a little surprised at what we learned. Some of us actually learned something new with the research we uncovered, not just about Bill Ramsey, but also about the medical condition, clinical lycanthropy. Yup... it's an actual thing. Clinical lycanthropy is a rare psychiatric condition which involves a delusion that the sufferer is transforming or has transformed into an animal. So buckle up, Buttercup because we're about to take you on a werewolf ride!

Chris finally opens up about the current drama between himself and ghost hunter, Kalani Smith, which is spilling out all over social media. 
We also get a little more insight into Chris's background and history as a paranormal investigator.  
We are tagging Kalani Smith in an Instagram post in the event he wishes to hear Chris's take on the situation. Additionally, we welcome him onto the show to provide his input/retort. We got questions and hope that he will be willing to come on the show to answer them.

Disclaimer/Warning: We're absolutely savage in this episode - no holds barred! This is one of our favorite cases from the Warren Files to discuss: The infamous Haunting in Connecticut case, aka The Snedeker Family Haunting. This case surrounds the Snedeker family who claimed their house was not only haunted, but that the demons also attacked them late at night...sexually.  They sought out the help of Ed and Lorraine Warren, who rated this haunt only a 9 out of 10, though.  We lose all sense of decorum and tact in this episode as we discuss the facts of the case as well as possible ulterior motives. Mell and Chris take the gloves off in this episode!  If you haven't seen their interview on the Sally Jesse Raphael show, we've included the link below for you along with links to additional resources. After you're done listening, what do you think?

Researcher and Paranormal investigator Ryan Fusco joined the show to talk about his work on the Owlman.   As a lesser known cryptid the Owlman is very similar to the Mothman haveing multiple sightings in the Ohio River Valley area as well as California and possible sighting in the UK.
Owlman is referred to as the Stikini by the Seminole Nation and is said to be very similar to a Skinwalker.

In this episode, we take a look at some of the more ridiculous aspects of the paranormal, supernatural, and magickal areas of the internet. Fake (or maybe just incompetent) psychics and mediums, people giving out very un-"sage" advice, and jackasses who just straight up lie. Memes are not research, that Insta-witch isn't going to help you with a problem you never knew you had, your favorite celebrity didn't send you a friend request on facebook, and just because you're right doesn't mean you're helping. Please enjoy these and other fun para-tangents in today's episode!

Join Lee and Steve for a conversation with Havre De Haunts owner Lisa Lopez on episode #25 of Mainstreet.  Lisa's family has a long history in Havre de Grace, dating back to before the War of 1812. For the past 16 years, she's been leading History and Hauntings tours of probably the most haunted town in Harford County.  Hear Lisa also talk about her interest in the paranormal and her own experiences with the supernatural.

Father and Daughter Paranormal team ParaAmera join us to talk about what has worked for them in their investigations.

We get on the topic of dolls and why they are so creepy to a lot of people and what it takes to have a great investigation and why evidence needs to be scrutinized heavily prior to releasing it.

TONYA and JOEY MADIA have returned from beyond, broke thru the veil, have completed interdimensional travel, or will be flying the Jolly Roger. This intrepid husband and wife paranormal research team is returning to "Night-Light" to discuss their latest publication "Roommates from Beyond." We'll also hear about their research into Pirates. Of course, we'll be incorporating their thoroughly researched investigations into the Webb Memorial Library and ongoing Mason County paranormal/cryptid activity. We are looking forward to a scuttlebutting evening of captivating tales.
