Podcast Description
Splintered Spirits is the podcast that dives into the paranormal with a twist. Join Gary, a skeptic and paranormal novice, and his nephew Johnny, the TikTok ghost whisperer behind @santaparanormal, as they explore Johnny’s theory that ghosts are fractured bits of energy scattered across meaningful places. With haunted locations, special guests, and expert insights, they’ll put this wild idea to the test. Whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, this journey into the echoes of the past will leave you questioning what’s on the other side.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on various themes related to the paranormal, particularly emphasizing the theory that ghosts are fragments of energy tied to significant locations. It features episodes like a cemetery live stream where spirits are 'heard' through a spirit box and interactions with a more cantankerous version of a spirit named Edward, aiming to blend humor with investigative storytelling.
What are spirits, really? Splintered Spirits explores the afterlife, ghosts, and the mysteries of human consciousness. Hosted by producer Gary Shapiro (the uneasy novice) and his nephew John Santa of Santa Paranormal (the experienced researcher), this podcast bridges the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds. Tune in for unnerving, funny, and thoughtful interviews or on-location experiments with psychic-mediums, parapsychologists, ghost hunters, witches and everyday people who have pierced the veil.
No guests, no gear, just ghost stories. With Halloween around the corner, this episode of Splintered Spirits is built entirely from stories sent in by you, our listeners. Five people trusted us with the strangest things that ever happened to them, and we read every word exactly as it was written before sharing what stands out based on everything our guests have taught us.
You'll hear from Devin, who as a toddler pointed at the ceiling and named a sister nobody had told him about… Daniel's story includes a closet door that closed itself, dragging sounds that stopped every time he called for his mom, and a drawing of the floating shape he saw at the foot of his bed…. Trisha shares a gentle story about a series of touching moments that occurred within minutes of her mother's passing. Harley recalls a cemetery in 1997 and a pitch black figure with glowing eyes that had dad running. Lastly, Jason explains why, when a laughing purple Teletubby talks through static, removing the batteries is the wrong move.
Plus, the Are You A Ghost Magnet? survey closes on Halloween. It's part of a study with Professor Brian Laythe that's headed for peer review, and more than 2,000 people have already taken it.
