About this episode
Halloween is the night when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. It is the time when spirits may walk among us and communication with the other side is believed to be easier than ever. What better way to celebrate the spookiest night of the year than by gathering in Salem, Massachusetts, to attempt to communicate with the dead? For this very special Halloween bonus episode, we joined forces with our friends Ash Kell and Alaina Urquhart of Morbid Podcast, alongside Kim Hill (co-owner of Nocturne), Natasha Rusilko, and Codie Crowley, for an intimate séance inside of Nocturne, an enchanting shop in downtown Salem. We were guided by the incredibly gifted psychic medium Chris O'Donnell of Pentagram in Salem, we opened ourselves up to the other side… and let's just say... we made contact. Salem is a city steeped in history, mystery, and tragedy. Best known for the infamous witch trials of 1692, when fear and superstition led to the persecution and execution of innocent people, Salem has since become a place synonymous with witchcraft, the supernatural, and the unexplained. From spirits lingering within the walls of Nocturne to deeply personal connections with loved ones beyond the veil, the evening was filled with unexpected messages, emotional moments, and reminders that perhaps the people we lose are never really that far away. Happy Halloween to all thee living and the dead.
