Behind the cracking wall paper of our reality, there exists another world that science has

yet to explain.

In here, dwell monsters and madness, and potentially, the answers to our most important questions,

and this world, gravity intensifies, time slows down, and your heart rate quickens.

I'm Jake Rockatansky, and I'm Brad Abrahams, and you're listening to the Spectral Voyager.

Ghosts, spirits, race, we've all seen them, hiding just out of sight in the corners of our

vision, are ducking under the doors of our bedrooms. These entities usually stay safely tucked

inside of our minds, but every so often, one somehow manages to open a doorway between our world

and theirs. Like most paranormal phenomena, there is a concerted effort by both amateur and

professional photographers alike to capture these entities on camera, dating all the way back

to the 1800s. In our premiere episode, we'll be exploring the curious case of William Mummler,

the first person to ever capture a ghost on camera. After that, we'll hear from Brad, who had the

pleasure of experiencing a haunting of his own. Let's get into it. The Spectral Voyager is a

departure from the usual QAA affair you love, but frankly, can depress the shit out of you.

We won't be spending our time debunking claims, or trying to prove if something is either real

or ridiculous. Instead, we'll be operating somewhere in between those poles, where the hard edges

of reality start to loosen, get gooey and formless, where empirical science, outrageous anecdotes,

and murky history meet. Put aside the usual cynicism you've grown accustomed to when talking

about fringe phenomena, if just for an hour. Regress back to those earlier years before the dopamine

poisoning, when you could still be washed over by wonder and intrigue. Remember back to when,

and why you became obsessed with the weird in the first place. Maybe, like Jake and I,

you'll realize it's because deep down, in some deeper than others, you also want to believe.
