The Scole Experiment has brought so much into the paranormal field of study. Disembodied voices, levitation, apports, and so much more. So why isn’t it being discussed more in the paranormal community? Listen in as Nick and Josh dissect this amazing set of experiments and ask bigger questions about American paranormal investigating. This isn’t just a new season for us, this is a whole new mindset into studying topics that aren’t often discussed and bringing new methods of thinking into the paranormal. Strap in, folks, this season is going to be chock full of new topics that aren’t necessarily pieces of new equipment and/or locations, but rather old techniques with verifiable evidence and thought processes not meant for paranormal TV. Stories in the Cemetery Logo provided by April McGirr Designs.Please comment on this episode through Spotify or subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!Visit our sponsor Magnanimous Beard Products at www.yourbearsuperstore.com and use code “GHOST” to receive $5 off your order!To choose an adventure with Stories in the Cemetery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania visit www.storiesinthecemetery.com and book your date today.To attend a Paranormal Scavenger Hunt in Pasadena, California with co host, Joshua Amen, visit www.amenparanormalresearch.com to get your tickets.Tees and Stories in the Cemetery merchandise can be found at http://tee.pub/lic/SITCThe 2025 Paranormal Investigator’s Almanac and Paranormal Investigation Workbook can be found on Amazon.Don’t miss our Patreon Exclusive podcast: “Secret Societies”.If you’d like to hear this episode ad free, you can purchase individual episodes also on Patreon. Everything you need to know about this fascinating topic can be found through these two resources:ReferencesColeman, T.
