Ep 23: Halloween Special - Phantoms

Welcome to the Halloween Special! On this episode of The Flask At Hand Podcast we bring you phantoms! Not just the ghostly ones but phantom vision where even the blind see ghosts, phantom pain where people with severed limbs that are no longer there feel pain in them or just feel them like they're still there even though they are not. Also, the phantom leaf effect using coronal discharge also known as Kirlian photography which can capture an image of a whole leaf even after its ben cut in half and a portion removed, this and much more on this cold Halloween night. Our whiskey tonight is Doc Swinson's Alter Ego, a bourbon matured in sherry and cognac barrels. A very tasty addition to our and your cabinet or shelf. As always, thanks for listening and enjoy the show! Cheers!
