In this episode of The Psychic and the Skeptic, the hosts define “spiritual attachments” and outline types including residual energetic imprints, ancestral or guide attachments, earthbound spirits, and non-human entities, while comparing metaphysical beliefs with psychological explanations tied to trauma, grief, anxiety, and hyper-vigilance. They discuss how attachments may form through vulnerability, depression, or substance use, emphasizing oppression rather than possession and the importance of investigator boundaries and protection. A brief cross-cultural history covers Mesopotamian gidim, Egyptian ka, Chinese gui, and medieval European obsession. Case stories framed through hypnotherapy depict attachment-like experiences linked to childhood abuse, survivor’s guilt, combat PTSD, and caregiver burnout that dissipate with processing. Christie shares two investigation-based attachment experiences: “Pamela” from Guthrie Hospital who followed and tormented her, and a Haitian voodoo-related “Gede/loa” spirit from a 2006 cemetery case that followed her home until removed with help from Native elder spirits.

In this episode, Christy and Kathy launch their “Cryptid Files” series by tackling the doppelganger phenomenon, defining it as an unexplained double of a living person rather than a simple lookalike. They debate whether doppelgangers are spiritual entities, warnings, and death omens, or whether they can be explained through neuropsychology, perception errors in peripheral vision, stress, illness, sleep deprivation, medication effects, and temporal-lobe-related hallucinations. Drawing on paranormal investigation experiences, they contrast doppelganger reports with residual and intelligent hauntings. The episode reviews historical and literary cases. They also discuss modern “doppelgangers” captured on security cameras and video calls, emphasizing technology glitches, and the role of fear and folklore.
