This week I'm talking to Dave Mackey about his book, Spirit Test,

from childhood hauntings to present-day miracles.

One average man put spirituality and paranormal to the test, literally.

Dave grew up in a haunted house.

He is a paranormal investigator and a medium.

Hey, Dave, thanks a lot for coming on the podcast.

Hey, my pleasure. Thank you for having me, Simon.

So we're going to talk about your book. It's called Spirit Test, a breadcrum path for the

Transcendentally Challenged. Was that you? Were you transcendently challenged?

Oh, I was definitely transcendently challenged. I'm challenged at many things, but wrapping my

head around the ghostly events of my child. And as a child, you don't know what to make of a spirit world that I thought

was picking on me. And the older I got, the more, I just became more curious about the spiritual

world. But I bumbled my way into everything. So as we go through the book, you're going to hear me

do tests, spirit tests, which is basically asking spirit for a sign, where I'm asking the

sign where I'm asking spirit of I should divorce my wife, which is crazy. Why would anyone

ask the spirit world if they should divorce their wife?

So it's been a long, long journey, and we're all explorers when it comes to this, right?

You know, we're digging in the dirt and we find a coin six inches down, but what about 10 inches

down? What about a foot down? Is there more treasure to be found?
