Paranormal Lens Podcast – Season 3, Episode 7: Supernatural Belief and the Paranormal Lens
On this special episode, the Paranormal Lens team is thrilled to be joined by Jeffrey A. Tolbert and Sean E. Dixon from Penn State University Harrisburg’s Department of American Studies and Folklore. Together, they dive deep into their fascinating research on supernatural belief in contemporary America—a society where such beliefs are often denigrated, dismissed, or regarded as mere superstition.
This episode takes a close look at paranormal investigators, exploring how they approach the unknown with a critical mind. From evaluating evidence to weighing personal experiences, and considering scientific reasoning, these investigators navigate the complex terrain between skepticism and belief to form their own understandings of the beings, phenomena, and forces that may exist both within and beyond our world.
Join Jamie and Chad as they discuss the intersection of folklore, culture, and the paranormal, and hear from experts who help us understand why humans continue to seek meaning in the unexplained. Whether you’re a seasoned investigator, a curious listener, or someone fascinated by the supernatural, this episode promises insight, intrigue, and a deeper look into the beliefs that shape our world.
