Today on The Grave Talks, pragmatic paranormal, a conversation with Alex Matsuo.

Quite often we hear about paranormal investigators and their extreme sensory abilities.

This is not one of those stories.

This is a story of a paranormal investigator who comes into investigations with a very pragmatic and empathetic approach, but takes the emotion out of the mix.

How does this help or hinder her investigations and experiences?

Today, we discuss all of this and more with Alex Matsuo on the Grave Talks.

Let's see. I mean, I've kind of always had an interest in it.

Even from the time I was like a little kid.

It was always something I wanted to watch on TV. If there was anything

in the store that was like creepy, I was reaching for it. But I did have an experience when I was a

kid and I was about anywhere between like seven or seven to nine years old and it was it was in kentucky i was

visiting my great-grandmother i'm a california kid so i don't really know like you know

i didn't know like appalachian lore back then i mean we're talking like the boonies of kentucky

and yeah i mean i had a really strange experience and it did freak me out, but also at

the same time after it happened, I was like, oh, that's cool.

Like I want to know more, but my mother really discouraged anything paranormal and the occult in the house. Like,

it just wasn't allowed. So, uh, but of course, when you tell that to a kid, uh, they just want it

more. So. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's, that's kind of, um, it's kind of the short version of it. So it's, it's been a, it's been a

crazy ride since then. I mean, the first part of my life, it was just a lot of sneaking around

to maintain and cultivate the interest until I was old enough to drive and, you know,

eventually go to college and move out and stuff. How did that affect you as a kid where you had that interest and somewhat of experiences,

but the family around you is like, nope, we don't talk about that.
