There is a place that is spoken about only in whispers, a dark area that spawns the beginnings of urban legends,

a place where anything can happen and usually does.

During the light of day it hides just outside of you, but when the sun goes down, spirits, creatures of the night,

Rome free and things do go bump in the night.

It is in every state and every country and there is no escaping it.

No matter how safe you see behind your locked doors and latched windows.

So we invite you to turn down the lights and turn up your radio while we join Dave Schrader and Tim Dennis, your hosts, on a journey into the darkness,

on the edge of town.

Good evening and welcome you're tuned into the best and paranormal talk radio this is beyond the darkness on your host Dave Schrader.

We've got a great show lined up for you tonight. The Ghost Studies, Brandon Masulo, our guest, new perspectives on the origins of paranormal experiences.

And as we continue to do this show, I'm always interested in new perspectives, new ideas, looking at the origins of the paranormal experience,

how some people will experience the paranormal and others will not.

Sometimes people that claim to be sensitives will not have any activity in a well-known haunted place, but yet somebody who thinks

they're psychic as a doorknob, keep getting pastured, keep hearing things, seeing things.

How does this work? Why does this work? Well, our guest is here to chat with that about that tonight.

Brandon Masulo is a clinical therapist and a parapsychologist residing in Medina, I think it's Medina, Ohio, fascinated by paranormal phenomena for more than 20 years.

He's been a participant in and featured speaker at numerous paranormal forums and events.

He studied psychology and parapsychology at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. His research has been cited in numerous parapsychological journals, articles, and mainstream books.

His new book, The Ghost Studies, new perspectives on the origins of paranormal experiences. Thank you for joining us tonight, Brandon.

Thank you for having me. I appreciate it Dave. Is it Medina or Medina?

Medina. You got exactly right. I grew up in Medina, Illinois, with the H. We're a Ritzi over there. We added an extra letter at the end, but I know there's another town spelled the same way yours is, but they refer to it as Medina. So I wasn't sure which way we're going.

That's what my GPS calls it, Medina. Let's tend a little bit about your background. As a therapist, what made you decide to start to investigate parapsychology?
