In this episode, Chritsy and Kathy explore earthbound spirits—souls believed to remain in the earthly realm due to confusion about death, attachment to grieving loved ones, fear of the afterlife, or unresolved emotions. They discuss EVPs as investigative support, including a “Class A” EVP from the Ritz Theater in Shawnee, Oklahoma saying “Are we dead?” Para-history includes a dive into cross-cultural history over thousands of years and they evaluate earthbound spirits from famous cases like Eastern State Penitentiary, the Myrtles Plantation (challenging the Chloe legend with historical records), and the Winchester Mystery House. Christie shares investigation experiences involving earthbound spirits Sam at Kendal’s, Mark in a residential case, Edward at Stone Lion Inn, a hostile spirit at Lincoln County Memorial Hospital, and Allison from “A Victim’s Cry,” and she explains how to distinguish earthbound spirits from transcendent or crossed-over spirits.
