Sulfur. Ozone. Rotting meat. These are some of the smells associated with aliens, spirits, and Bigfoot. Although it’s not talked about often, witnesses to the paranormal often report very distinct smells. Because the olfactory sense can trigger memories and experiences in ways different from vision, hearing, touch or taste...in a way, it almost makes their accounts more believable. Come along this week as the boys do their best to describe the smells of the paranormal in (you guessed it) an audio format!
