Episode Summary: What Are Ghosts, Really? Scientific Theories, Apparitions, and Consciousness Beyond Death
Originally recorded in 2021 and part of Luchiana’s Season of the Witch series on Patreon, this spooky and philosophical throwback episode of Mystic Theory is a perfect dive into all things paranormal.
Inside this Halloween special:
→ Scientific theories on what ghosts could be (pareidolia, sleep paralysis, infrasound & more)
→ Personal ghost stories—including the tale of a dog apparition only she could hear
→ Types of apparitions: memory imprints, trauma loops, trickster spirits, dream visitations
→ Consciousness beyond the brain: does it die, or just relocate?
→ Plus: time loops, EMF meters, and a pizza that un-sliced itself...
Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just curious, this episode is a deep and eerie spiral into one question: If ghosts are real... what does that mean about us?
