Open Loops with Greg Bornstein: Conversations That Bend

Ghosts, ghouls, goblins, aliens, questionable Taylor Swift lyrics, and candy corn...It’s that time of year again — October 2025, when brainrot meets toothrot on All Hallow’s Eve.And this week, we’re kicking off a two-part special that’ll have you shivering in your skivvies.Carol Malone, a forensic paranormal scientist, has been featured on the Travel Channel and consulted for television and film. Known as the godmother of forensic science in the paranormal world, Carol bridges the gap between laboratory precision and the unexplained.She’s spent three decades applying forensic methodologies - from blood-spatter analysis to environmental baselining - to haunted locations, turning ghost stories into data points and cold cases into energy maps.  She's no run-of-the-mill "paranormal investigator" or "ghost hunter" or "Jack Osbourne." (RIP Ozzy btw. We love your stuff).  No no...she is a seeker of proof!  And since she was friends with Ed and Lorraine Warren (see: The Conjuring or The Demonologist or The Amityville Horror or....The Conjuring 2...) and they let you into the inner circle, she's gotta be doing something right!  In Part One, she speaks with Greg about:  -The secret behind why energy and life after death are almost certainly real.-How brain trauma can open new channels of perception.-The science behind psychic ability and consciousness transfer.-What those TV ghost hunters keep getting wrong (and why Carol’s real fieldwork since the late ’90s is nothing like it).-One eerie detail about the human body that might just prove the soul IS REAL?!?And did we mention it's scary?  Happy Halloween, Loopers. This is the perfect spoooooky listen while you're rush delivering that costume piece from Amazon....Find Carol on her Facebook page at FPI Unsolved: https://www.facebook.com/fpi.unsolved Let Greg know how you like the show.

Stewart Home, writer, artist, man who can literally stand on his head and recite hia work (which includes cultural commentaries, poems, short stories, essays, and well, if it involves the written word and a radically political bent...Stewart's done it). He's been at it since the early 1980s, born and raised in London, and....Let's cut to the chase.His book is called "Fascist Yoga: Grifters, Occultists, White Supremacists, and the New Order In Wellness."Yes, an accomplished human being that Greg had never heard of (there are many) wrote a book with that title and if you're under any impression Greg isn't going to interview that guy on his show, you've been listening to too much Jay Shetty.To quote Stewart's description: "In this he sweeps away the lies to tell a new origin story of the world's first modern yogi – a Californian escapologist who added some Hindu fairy dust to gym and circus exercises. ​Ever since the world of yoga has been full of grifters, occultists and white supremacists, all out to exploit and recruit via the medium of exercise."You've just finished saluting the sun and in return, it flipped you the bird.Breathe in, breathe out.

In this must-listen paranormal podcast episode of Open Loops, Greg interviews John Fraser—Council Member of the Society for Psychical Research and author of Paranormal Perspectives: One Big Box of Paranormal Tricks. Together they explore the groundbreaking idea that all paranormal events—from ghosts to poltergeists to UFOs—might stem from a single psychic force within us.  That’s right. No polyamorous forces, Aubrey Marcus. Cool your jets.Fraser, wo has investigated hundreds of cases including the Enfield poltergeist and the Cage haunting in Essex, lays out a compelling scientific and psychological framework. Instead of external entities, he suggests that stress, trauma, and altered states of consciousness may trigger these phenomena.John and Greg discuss hypnotic regression, ESP experiments, false memory formation, and why Fraser believes random event generator technology could be key to proving the paranormal scientifically. This conversation challenges demonology (sorry new Pope), explores the psychology behind ghost sightings, and makes a strong case for a unified paranormal theory.If you’re curious about how consciousness, haunted locations, and poltergeist behavior intersect in a scientifically grounded way and you love how that all wraps together in one sentence optimized for SEO, this is the top fringe science podcast episode of 2025 to hear.🔗 John’s Links📖 Book: Paranormal Perspectives – One Big Box of Paranormal Tricks  Let Greg know how you like the show.
