Summary

Kathleen Berry’s journey into the paranormal began with a single night at Nevada’s Goldfield Hotel. Once skeptical and struggling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, she joined a TV news crew as an impartial observer—only to encounter eerie phenomena that challenged her beliefs. A psychic declared her "third eye" awakened, forcing her to reconcile these experiences with her evangelical faith.

Today on the Grave Talks, a conversation with Kathleen Berry about her book, A "Reluctant Spirit: A True Tale of God, Ghosts and a Skeptical Christian" and how one night changed her life.
