What lies between spectacle and stewardship in the paranormal world?

In this immersive episode, I peel back the layers of myth and media, from the Warrens’ controversies at Amityville, Enfield, and the Perron farmhouse, to Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum and the infamous Dybbuk Box, to Ryan Buell’s rise and fall, and Lance Zahl’s carnival-like treatment of haunted sites. Even comedian Matt Rife’s curious role in the Warren home sale enters the conversation.

But this isn’t just about controversy. It’s also about reverence: Amy Allen’s legacy with William Roll, Amy Bruni and Adam Berry’s family-centered approach, Michelle Belanger’s scholarship, Kim Russo’s trauma healing, Chip Coffey’s compassion, Jason Hawes’ grounded methods.

Haunted artifacts, across cultures, tell us stories of grief and memory: Japan’s tsukumogami, Jewish dybbukim, objects as vessels of trauma. We explore how these items become sacred thresholds, or hollow commodities.

Through Jungian reflection, I ask: are we serving the dead, or selling them? Are we healers, or performers?

Step with me into this shadowed mirror, and decide for yourself. If you are drawn to the threshold between worlds, seeking guidance, healing, and ethical spiritual intervention. You can reach out to us at Your Brave Soul here on substack, Instagram, and Facebook. We're ready to believe you!
