Curious Explorers
What’s haunting the Paranormal Museum in Asbury Park ?
Are orbs ghostly phenomena or mere camera artifacts?
Can what we do in the future influence the past?
How are precognition and retrocausation connected?
Do the same psychological principles apply to both the living and the dead?
Did Abraham Lincoln foresee his own death?
Join historian Kathy Kelly, proprietress of The Paranormal Museum, and psychologist Traci Stein as they explore the evidence for - and against - a paranormal explanation for all things mysterious, historical and most of all - paranormal.

Disembodied Voices, Bridget Bishop & the Salem Witch Trials
This episode begins with the Curious Explorers catching up and sharing some eerie Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs) that were captured while recording some of Kathy & Traci’s spookiest episodes.
The heart of this episode, however, is the story of Bridget Bishop, the first woman executed during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. The Curious Explorers discuss the climate of fear, hysteria, and social control that led to the unjust arrest and execution of Bridget Bishop and numerous others during this dark period in history.
