Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

For Heather Leigh Landon, the paranormal didn’t begin as a curiosity—it began as a connection. In this episode of The Grave Talks, she shares how hearing the voice of her grandfather after his passing opened a door that never fully closed.

What started as a deeply personal experience gradually expanded into a lifelong awareness of spirits and energy, shaping both her path and her understanding of what may exist beyond the physical world. Over time, that connection led her to formally study the paranormal, earning a Ph.D. in Metaphysical and Humanistic Studies with a focus on Paranormal Science.

As she reflects on her journey, Heather discusses what it means to live with ongoing experiences, how her perspective has evolved, and the balance between personal encounters and academic exploration.

Because for some, the paranormal is something you visit… and for others, it’s something that never leaves.

Welcome to part two of our conversation with Heather Lee Landon.

0:03.4

Tell me about how, when you went with the intent of getting a PhD here in metaphysical and humanistic studies,

0:12.3

and a specialty in paranormal science, you know, that's a very interesting title.

0:17.9

I don't know of a lot of real world applicable places where it's like,

0:21.9

here's my title. Hire me. Maybe I'm completely off. But what was your goal in going in that

0:29.2

direction? Other than obviously, it's a very self-fulfilling, very interesting topic for you.

0:34.5

Right. It was very, it was something that I've always wanted to do. And unfortunately,

0:40.2

they never really offered any PhDs and fields that I was interested in. And when I found,

it was Institute of Metaphysical and Humanistic Science. It's based out of here in Florida.

0:51.7

And Dr. Kelly, he runs it and does all the classes

And it was just something that really intrigued me.

They had classes and everything from, you know,

1:03.3

religious studies to meditation.

1:07.4

And they also had, there's a couple of,

1:10.4

they had cryptozoology and uphology

1:23.5

Yeah.

1:23.7

And even though it's not your four year accred accredited college, it is accredited through the
