Cool Gray in Studio A - Personal Paranormal Encounters Part 3 Ft Nomar Slevik
play

02/02/23 • 50 min

In this third part of my series, “Personal Paranormal Encounters,” I welcome returning guest, author and podcaster Nomar Slevik. The big takeaway here is simply this: Look up and keep looking up!

Author Nomar Slevik has been fascinated by all things paranormal since childhood, beginning with a UFO encounter at 4 years old. Because of that experience, his life's passion has been to research, investigate, write, and share UFO and extraterrestrial encounters from everyday people in a way that conveys the human element of profoundly strange encounters.

Some of his works include the books: “Granite Skies,” “Otherworldly Encounters,” and “UFOs Over Maine.” His podcast, “I Want to Believe,” co-hosted with his best friend Kyle Sawyer, covers a range of paranormal encounters.

Nomar has seen a number of amazing and mysterious things in his life and he shares some of the most noteworthy stories with me here. You’ll hear his accounts of personal encounters with UFOs, other strange aerial phenomena, cryptids, and more. I mention in this episode that I also interviewed Mike Stevens, the subject of his book "Granite Skies." When we recorded, I didn't know which episodes would post in which order. So, although I speak of it here as a future episode, it's actually already available as Episode 8!

A note about this series: I’m covering this topic for the same reason I cover any topic, and that is to stimulate deeper thought with these interesting conversations with interesting people. While I have a lifelong interest in the paranormal, I make no claim of truth or fiction, fact or fantasy. I simply take my guests at their word when they say they are reporting their personal experiences truthfully and offer them the same respect as any guest deserves. Honestly, I don’t know what’s up with these phenomena, but I do find them worthy of spending some time investigating before even trying to form an opinion. My opinion doesn’t matter here, and neither does yours. What I’m hoping to accomplish is to inspire a desire in you to seek more information, work your brain, and arrive at your own informed opinions.

Cool Gray in Studio A - Near Death Experiences in Children Ft Dr. Melvin Morse
play

07/06/23 • 66 min

Melvin L Morse, MD, was an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington for 20 years and is the author of several books (along with science writer and documentary film maker Paul Perry) about the science and spirituality of near-death experiences. His international best seller “Closer to the Light” describes the near-death experiences of children and was based on his studies at Seattle Children’s Hospital under the supervision of the University of Washington’s Human Subject Review Board.

This episode contains the portion of the recorded interview that was concerned with Dr. Morse’s groundbreaking study on near-death experiences in children. The study was conducted over 30 years ago and included 27 children who had been through a resuscitation experience in Dr. Morse’s hospital after being clinically dead, as well as a control group of children who had also suffered trauma and been in the same intensive care environment, who may have been comatose, but were never deceased. The results were unexpected to the team and changed Dr. Morse’s life from that point forward.

However, our conversation went into some other areas and stretched to over 2 hours in length. So, I’ve extracted the parts of the interview that were about other topics and compiled them in a special video supplemental “minisode,” which can be found on my YouTube channel. There’s a link below. In that minisode, you can hear our conversations about:
*Split Brain surgery and its effects on consciousness
*Functional Neurogenesis (the concept that every thought and experience physically changes the brain)
*The nature of memory and where it is stored
*Dr. Morse’s latest book, “Where God Lives,” which is about Spiritual Neuroscience.
That’s a lot of great dialogue...too great to end up on the cutting room floor, so I’m grateful to Dr. Morse for that bonus content and I’m confident you will be, too!

Today’s Parting Thought is by Roald Dahl: “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

Cool Gray in Studio A - A Lifetime of UFO Study and Experience Ft Kathleen Marden
play

05/11/23 • 72 min

Kathleen Marden is an award-winning researcher, author, on-camera commentator, hypnosis practitioner, and international conference presenter. She is the founder and past director of MUFON’s Experiencer Resource Team, and she is widely considered one of the leading UFO contact researchers of our time. Since 1990, Kathleen has researched and experienced the perplexing nature of contact with non-human entities. She has worked on three comprehensive studies on nearly 5,000 experiencers and has published six books. The story of Betty and Barney Hill is best told in her bestseller with nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman “Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience.”

Because Kathleen has told the story of her aunt and uncle so many times, I have narrated a brief summary of the Betty and Barney Hill Story for those not already familiar with it. This portion of the podcast is also available as a Video Exclusive Minisode on the YouTube channel (link below).

Kathleen and I discuss how this extraordinary event and the repercussions from it looked through her eyes, as she was just 13 years old at the time of the incident. She shares how the trajectory of her life was formed by the events and how she has maintained an “appropriate skepticism,” while conducting her own extensive research on this and other incidents involving non-human entities.

For more details about this episode and my personal thoughts about this conversation, please visit the companion blog for this episode on my website. There’s a link below.

This episode concludes Season 2 of the Cool Gray in Studio A podcast. Season 3 begins after a brief hiatus on June 22, 2023.

The information presented in the Betty and Barney Hill Story portion of this episode was collected from several sources, including the University of New Hampshire’s Special Collections website and the Wikipedia page about the Hills.

Cool Gray in Studio A - Personal Paranormal Encounters Part 5 Ft Valerie Lofaso
play

03/02/23 • 56 min

In this fifth part of my series, “Personal Paranormal Encounters,” I welcome author and empathic medium Valerie Lofaso. Valerie is also a Reiki Master/Teacher, a paranormal investigator. She is the author of the “Tangled Web of Friends” young-adult paranormal fiction series. Though she has been an empath her whole life, she has come to understand what that means over the past twenty years through research, investigating, and field work. She co-founded of the KRI Center for Consciousness Studies which operated from 2009 - 2019; where she managed and facilitated events, lectures, and classes in all fringe subjects. She also founded her Empath Support Gathering which continues today.

Valerie talks with me about an early encounter with a strange entity at the age of four, the difficulties of growing up empathic and misunderstood by her schoolmates, and ultimately coming to understand her gifts and developing them. Her books are officially categorized as young adult fiction, but they enjoy readership of all ages. When an editor rejected the first book for publication, he offered the opinion that her writing needed “more bite,” which led Valerie to her own experiences in paranormal investigation in order to more fully understand what she had already been writing about. She is currently available for readings, clearings, and other intuitive services and can be reached via her Facebook page.

Cool Gray in Studio A - Art, Nudity, and Social Media Ft Randy Lagana
play

07/20/23 • 57 min

Heads Up: This episode discusses nudity in art (the companion blog and my guest’s website display nudity) including some imagery of human models bound with the Japanese binding art form of Shibari. If these topics and images are problematic for you, please use discretion when consuming this episode and its accompanying material.

Randy Lagana was 6 years old when he drew his first serious piece of art. At age 13 he did his first oil painting and immediately knew that painting was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He has been exploring art and how to express himself through art for more than 60 years! Randy paints in acrylics using brushes, palette knives, sponge, paper, plastic, fingers, or anything else that will get the effect I’m looking for. In recent years, he has branched into photography and digital composites, applying his painterly skills to this newer medium. His photography work features nude models in both beautiful and decaying environments, which presents certain challenges when sharing on social media.

Community Guidelines on popular social platforms can be difficult to understand and may be subject to the platform reviewer’s opinion. Here, we discuss those frustrations and challenges as well as get to know Randy and his creative process. It’s an intimate look at the life of an artist over a lifetime, how his life experience has influenced his work and how his work has evolved through the years.

Randy believes art is a way to see, much like poetry is a way to speak.

play

02/16/23 • 52 min

In this fourth part of my series, “Personal Paranormal Encounters,” I welcome returning guest, meet Ross Hamil of the hard rock band Labor XII. Ross and his family have a long history of ghostly encounters, so much so that it just feels like a normal part of everyday life for them! Ross shares some of the more noteworthy moments in his life and the life of his close family members. You’ll hear about simple childhood encounters, like the moments when a young Ross was playing in his grandparents’ home after his grandfather had passed away, when he could feel a little breeze like someone had walked past him followed by the distinct scent of Grandpa’s Brut cologne favorite brand of cigarettes. And, that’s just for starters! A few of these tales will surely make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, yet they don’t seem to ruffle the Hamils’ feathers much.

Stick with this episode to the end for the most unexplainable and creepy tale of all! Heck, we even manage to squeeze in some UFO and Sasquatch conversation late in the recording!

A note about this series: I’m covering this topic for the same reason I cover any topic, and that is to stimulate deeper thought with these interesting conversations with interesting people. While I have a lifelong interest in the paranormal, I make no claim of truth or fiction, fact or fantasy.

Cool Gray in Studio A - Well Hello There!

Well Hello There!

Cool Gray in Studio A

play

09/22/22 • 11 min

The first ever podcast hosted by YouTube artist Cool Gray. Spend 11 minutes getting to know your host as she introduces herself and lets you know what she has planned.

Cool Gray (you can call her Lynn if you like), has been making YouTube videos on art and cooking for the past 6 years. Now, she’s expanding into the podcast world to allow for conversations on a broader range of topics and for a new level of audience participation. So, she’s organized her content into 3 studios: Studio A for the podcast, Studio B for the art, and Studio C for the cooking. These things all have one thing in common: They are all forms of creative expression -- and, that’s what Cool Gray Studios is all about.

The first series will focus on, “Creativity Born of Trauma.” Cool Gray started both the YouTube channel and the podcast as a direct response to separate traumas in her personal life. When she noticed this pattern, she thought it would be the perfect way to engage her audience for these first episodes. Her guests include other creatives (musicians, writers) who have experienced similar therapeutic benefits though creative expression, as well as professionals who use creative expression as an integral part of their methods for helping clients through difficult times. In more than one case, her guests fulfill both sides of that equation!

Following the first series will be a second series where guests will share their personal paranormal encounters. Though these topics may not appear to have much in common, Cool Gray finds them (and many other topics) to be inspiration for creativity and even just plain good for keeping your mind actively chewing on the things we all wonder about. She’s living her life out loud and welcoming you to join her on the journey.

Cool Gray is entirely self-in all of the technology and organization that goes into creating this podcast. She serves as writer, host, editor, marketer, and bookkeeper. She thinks that’s not bad for a boomer!

Cool Gray in Studio A - Personal Paranormal Encounters Part 6 Ft Paul Eno
play

03/17/23 • 80 min

In this sixth and final part of my series, “Personal Paranormal Encounters,” I welcome paranormal investigator, radio host, and author Paul Eno. Paul was one of the first paranormal investigators of the early 1970s, beginning while he was studying for the priesthood. Paul graduated from two seminaries, but was expelled from a third about a year before ordination because of his paranormal work. Today, he is an award-winning New England journalist, and the author of, or contributor to, 10 books. Paul also holds a rare Ph.B degree in philosophy. Paul serves on the Research Committee of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute and on the Experiencer Resource Team of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). He has appeared on the Travel, Discovery and History Channels. Among his early mentors are the legendary (though very controversial), first-generation "grandparents of ghost hunting" Ed & Lorraine Warren, of 'The Conjuring' fame.

In this episode, we discuss Paul’s very unique life trajectory, beginning with a tragic event when he was just 7 years old, continuing through his entering seminary training at only 14, and developing his own theory about ghosts and purgatory at 17. It was his writing about this subject that captured the attention of Lorraine Warren and began Paul’s friendship and working relationship with the Warrens.

During his years working in the field as a paranormal investigator (well before that was a trendy thing to do), Paul combined his education in theology and philosophy with his hands-on experiences and his burgeoning interest in quantum mechanics and developed an elegant, comprehensive theory about paranormal phenomena that centers on multiverse theory. We discuss this in detail here.

For more details about this episode and my personal thoughts about this conversation, please visit the companion blog for this episode on my website. There’s a link below.

A note about this series: I’m covering this topic for the same reason I cover any topic, and that is to stimulate deeper thought with these interesting conversations with interesting people.
