In the first half, podcast host, writer, and paranormal expert Joshua P. Warren discussed his research into haunted dolls and other strange phenomena. One such doll is known as 'Kennedy' (view a close-up photo), a kind of ventriloquist doll with an eerie appearance and mischievous grin. The doll had originally been sent to C2C producer Tom and then given to Joshua after Tom began to hear weird noises in his home, like a bowling ball being rolled around. Tom also said that a ceramic dish flew off the wall at one point, and his security camera captured a dark, misty form moving up and down the staircase. Warren said he'd heard reports over the years from reputable witnesses of dolls moving on their own, as if something was animating them. According to the legend of Robert the Haunted Doll, he was said to be imbued with part of a family member's spirit. On a recent night, Warren said he was awakened when something pulled the covers off him. He had a video surveillance camera set up on Kennedy, and there is a timestamp of when he felt the disturbance in his bed. The video shows a meter next to the doll that starts squealing, "which means there's some type of a strange electromagnetic force or electromagnetic field. And...there are these two translucent balls of light that just shoot right past him and over toward the door," he marveled. "And what's funny is that I have no other clip that shows anything like that," and though Kennedy was not recorded moving, "it takes some kind of a physical presence to even trigger the motion sensitive camera." It seems like he has some sort of spiritual presence around him that is able to travel, Warren posited.

Obley has communicated with souls who have crossed into the spirit realm via thousands of private and group sessions. In the latter half, she shared metaphysical perspectives of life from the spirit world. The spirit world has a higher vibration than our existence in the denser physical plane, she noted. In the spirit dimension, when you think about something, it's instantly manifested, whereas here we have the element of time, Obley continued. When we die and enter the afterlife, "it's very much like when we awaken from having a dream. When we're in a dream, it's very real... we really don't realize that we're dreaming, and it's that way with life as well. We look back on it [from the spirit realm]...and it seems unreal. There's sort of this awakening that takes place," she explained. There are helping guides or spirits who assist people when they first cross over-- "they help in the process of adjustment to going back home, because that really is our natural home," she said. Sometimes, when people have unfinished business, they linger on the Earth plane after they die. She described one incident in an antique store where she saw a man's spirit sitting next to a cubicle, as he was so attached to his former possessions he didn't want to let go. Regarding reincarnation, Obley began to receive information about clients' past lives in readings she gave 30 years ago when she saw specific scenes that arose over their right shoulder and realized they were from their previous existences. During the last hour, she offered readings to callers. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWKrntVy-68

In the first half, engineer Marshall Barnes discussed his latest research on AI dangers, and his work on parallel universes and quantum abandonment - time travel attempts to escape a cataclysmic future. He also offered his thoughts on UAPs and the alien scenario. Barnes claimed that the US government has shot down UFOs and possesses secret weapon systems to defend against possible alien invasions. Time travel is possible, he contends, but most information disseminated to the public is wrong, including in science. Time is often defined more like duration, he explained, but in advanced physics it is looked at differently. He specified that time travel is possible through quantum mechanics rather than ideas based on relativity theory. There is the potential for civilization to be moved 12,000 years into the past, but he noted that it would take a significant amount of time and resources to establish a new society. Barnes considers this a more viable option than, say, Elon Musk's plan to start a civilization on Mars. Regarding AI, the experts who created it have admitted that they don't fully understand it despite developing it. Barnes said he was working on a project to kill off AI in case it goes rogue. He suggested that AI is setting the stage for those who have an agenda to significantly reduce the world's population. "They're going to need AI and robotics to clean up the mess" after they instigate their plan, he commented. --------------- Former Deputy Sheriff Karen Anderson honed her intuitive skills on the force. During this time, she re-discovered her gift of animal communication and has been helping others understand the mind of animals and even deceased humans. During the latter half, she shared her experiences communicating with animals and pets, including those who have passed on. She explained that pets have a kind of telepathy and can read their owner's minds or tune into their frequencies. They pick up on the images that flash in our minds when we think about something, she added, and "so that's how they communicate with me." Language is not a barrier, and as an example, she cited how a client's lost cat in Japan communicated to her through English despite the cat not understanding the language. What she's learned about animals in the afterlife is that they want humans to remember them with a smile, celebrating their life and shared memories, rather than focusing on their end-of-life struggles. They may communicate through dreams, objects like feathers or coins, and other signs to comfort and guide their human loved ones after passing. Animals in the afterlife show little grief or regret while living animals feel similar emotions as humans do, Anderson noted. Grief can block our ability to receive signs and messages from departed pets, but acknowledging and processing our emotions can help us tune in and connect with them more easily, she pointed out. During the last hour, Karen offered impressions and counseling for listeners who had lost beloved pets. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IUrIX2Cd-M
