| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Mysterious Universe, Season 34, Episode 19. |
| 0:20.9 | Coming up on this show, we've got Super Soaker Holy Water, |
| 0:23.4 | when curiosity beckons monsters and cracking the angel code. |
| 0:28.3 | I'm your host, Benjamin Grundy. |
| 0:29.3 | Joining me is Aaron Wright. |
| 0:30.5 | Is this the follow-up to the book that we covered on The Last Plus episode? |
| 0:33.5 | Yeah, so on the last plus episode, we did Gazing into the Afterlife Irene Blinston, who during her doctorate program in the early 2000s, was part of a study into the, was it, the psychomantium. |

| 1:22.8 | last plus show, had incredible interactions, either seeing things in the surface of the mirror, like |
