Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

When Heather Leigh Landon was just a teenager, she began to hear the voice of her grandfather, long after he had passed. What began as a comforting connection to a loved one on the other side soon opened a door she could never close. That door led her into a world filled with spirits, energies, and unexplained phenomena. As her life unfolded, so did her understanding of the paranormal. With a Ph.D. in Metaphysical and Humanistic Studies and a specialization in Paranormal Science, Heather has not only embraced her sensitivity but made it her mission to study and explore what lies beyond the veil. In today’s episode, we delve into the moments that shaped her journey, the spirits that never left her side, and the lessons she's learned from both the living and the dead. This isn’t just a ghost story—it’s the life of someone who walks with spirits every day. This is Part Two of our conversation.

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

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

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

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,

0:46.0

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

0:55.2

and also all the ongoing training with our graduates.

And it was just something that really intrigued me.

1:00.9

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

1:12.0

and a whole bunch of different certification programs that you could do outside of the PhD program.

1:16.9

And it was just something I was like, you know what?

1:19.0

And in my mind at the time, it was like nobody was taking me serious.

1:23.5

Yeah.

1:23.7

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