Real-World Investigation Meets the Unexplained with Guest Greg Lawson

What happens when a 32-year veteran crime detective and aquatic death investigator applies hard, cold law enforcement principles to the supernatural? In this mind-bending episode of The Twilight Tonic, host DeeDee Moonflyer sits down with author, professor, and world-traveling detective Greg Lawson to bridge the gap between traditional police work and inexplicable phenomena. Greg details the rare psychological training behind county-level mental health response units and how they handle bizarre, atypical reports. More importantly, he recounts a chilling, firsthand medical mystery from his youth: a coworker’s intense, physical catatonic episode following an alleged alien abduction, which left behind a shocking medical scar on her brain. Is it epilepsy, or is it evidence of the extraterrestrial? Tune in as we explore real cases, discuss the critical protocol of letting evidence resolve a mystery, and unpack the chilling lore of hidden spots like Ireland's haunted Leap Castle. Grab your favorite tonic, settle into your comfiest chair, and prepare to examine the unexplained through the eyes of a real investigator.
