Welcome to a new episode of the Deadly Departed podcast, where we explore the mysteries that linger at the edge of our reality. In this episode, “What Lies Beyond,” host Jock Brocas sits down with author, academic, and long-time Society for Psychical Research member Matt Colborn. Together, they dive deep into the world of paranormal and mystical experiences, challenging the boundaries between hard science, exceptional human encounters, and the unexplained phenomena that weave through our culture.
Matt shares his personal journey—from haunted childhood homes and dream precognition to academic studies in neuroscience and bee memory. He explores how anomalous events, often dismissed or explained away in the West, might be essential to understanding the human condition and even reshaping our society for the better.
This conversation is a tapestry of ghost stories, groundbreaking research, philosophical questions about consciousness, and a thoughtful critique of materialist science. You’ll hear reflections on everything from classic Victorian parapsychology cases to the big resurgence of interest in past-life studies—and how these experiences could transform us individually and collectively.
If you’ve ever wondered what we lose when we sideline the strange or mystical, or if embracing the unexplainable might offer a path to a more connected, humane future, this episode is for you. So join us as we uncover just what lies beyond the surface of our minds, our societies, and perhaps even life itself.

Welcome to Deadly Departed, where the mysterious world of hauntings and the supernatural is put under the microscope. In this episode, "DD - Part 1 - Hauntings And More," host Jock Brocas and co-host Craig dive deep into the world of haunted houses, unexplained phenomena, and the myths that surround paranormal activity.
Together, Jock and Craig tackle the reality behind famous hauntings, question the validity of "ghost detectors," and expose why nine times out of ten, reported hauntings may have more to do with natural explanations than the paranormal. They discuss the critical role of personal belief, the mind's power to shape reality, and how houses themselves—with their creaks, smells, and hidden quirks—can startle even the most rational homeowner.
Drawing on Craig's background as both a building contractor and science editor, and Jock's extensive experience in hauntings and parapsychology, the duo breaks down what truly constitutes a haunting. Is it genuine supernatural activity, or do we sometimes haunt ourselves through expectation, suggestion, mental health, or even medications?
From notorious cases like the Enfield Poltergeist and Amityville to the everyday noises of an aging home, this episode guides listeners through subjective and objective phenomena, the pitfalls of media hype, and the sheer complexity of separating fact from fiction in the ghostly world of hauntings.
Prepare yourself for a thrilling, skeptical, and refreshingly honest exploration of what’s really going bump in the night—plus a preview of future episodes that will delve further into mental health, poltergeist phenomena, and more. If you’ve ever wondered if your house is haunted or just want to separate spooky myths from science, this is the episode for you.

Welcome to "Deadly Departed," the podcast that delves into the mysteries of the afterlife and explores paranormal phenomena with expert guests. I'm your host, Jock Brocas, an author, researcher, and medium.
In this episode, titled "We Need to Consider Paranormal Science," we'll be discussing the importance of taking a scientific approach to understanding paranormal phenomena.

By studying these experiences systematically, we can gain a deeper understanding of the nature of consciousness, the afterlife, and the mysteries of the universe.
Join us as we explore the need for paranormal science and discuss how it can help us navigate the strange and wondrous world of the paranormal. Let's separate fact from fiction and shed light on the mysteries that lie beyond our everyday experience.
