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.
Gary Galka is the engineer and inventor behind the Mel Meter, the PSB7 spirit box, and the REM Pod, devices that define modern paranormal investigation. His journey into the unknown began after the tragic loss of his 17-year-old daughter Melissa in 2004. What started as a father's grief became a decades-long mission to use real science to bridge the gap between the living and the dead.
In this episode, Gary walks us through the invention and evolution of the tools that ghost hunters, paranormal investigators, and researchers use worldwide. He also shares the deeply personal ITC research he has never sold or published, including full conversations with Melissa that he has verified against live radio broadcasts in real time. It will change how you think about spirit communication.
Gary also shares what he believes spirits actually are, informed by his own out-of-body experiences, astral travel, and years of instrumental transcommunication research. His answer is fascinating. Whether you are a seasoned investigator or just starting to explore the paranormal, this conversation goes straight to the heart of the question Splintered Spirits was built to answer: What are spirits?
