| 0:00.0 | This is Episode 97 of Paranormal Stories. In this episode I'm reading from Elizabeth Bodian's book, Bigger Pete, Conversations between Life and Afterlife. |
| 0:19.5 | When I have guests on my podcast, I read their books to work out questions for the episode. |
| 0:23.6 | When reading these books, I always find such fascinating information that never makes it into the podcast, |
| 0:28.6 | and here I get a chance to give you a peek into the book. |
| 0:31.6 | I put a link to the book in the show notes, and I did seek permission to record this extract from the author, |

| 1:26.1 | the paper, no matter how nonsensical |
| 1:28.5 | they might seem to me. I wasn't exactly hearing the words, but my hand was writing them, |

| 1:40.2 | Once I was past my initial invocation and my stating any particular concerns, I made no conscious effort to influence what showed up on the paper. |
