Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 23, 2026

Paranormal journalist Jeff Belanger joins Miguel Conner to discuss his book The World's Most Haunted Places, arguing that ghosts are less about the dead's unfinished business than our own. He frames hauntings as sermons from the past, pointing to sites like the Pennhurst State School, where real atrocities left echoes society needs to hear. Along the way he shares White House staff sightings of Abraham Lincoln and his own life-changing shadow encounter in the Paris catacombs.
