Today we're going to delve into Dark Spirits with Richard S-Step on the Paranormal Podcast. Thank you. podcast. Now I believe in good, but I also believe that there is evil. Some people don't think so, and I understand that.

I respect their position. I think it's real. Well, today we're going to talk about dark spirits.

There's a new book out, just out, by Richard Estup. You see him there on the screen.

You know, those two very prolific authors, two people of great integrity, and two of the

cornerstones of paranormal nonfiction writing right there and both sorely missed.
