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?

The Singing Couch: EVP Evidence from a 150-Year-Old Artifact

The Halloween countdown has begun! In this minisode, Traci and Kathy are back at the museum with one of the most talked-about objects in the collection: a 150+ year-old couch once owned by Thomas Day—a free Black master carpenter in antebellum North Carolina.
Day claimed that when he napped on the couch, he’d hear a woman singing spirituals outside his window – a sign from God tied to his mission to protect and free enslaved people.
When the couch arrived at the museum in 2016, a skeptical radio crew recorded an EVP they couldn’t explain. Since then, two more investigations have recorded the same phenomenon.
Kathy breaks down why she doesn’t think the couch is technically “haunted,” what a tulpa might have to do with it, and how visitors react when they hear the audio for themselves. Plus, the ladies preview upcoming guests, including Dr. Richard Gallagher (author of “Demonic Foes”) and a drop-in from internationally known medium and author Vincent Genna.
