Strange Talk S5E24 Ep. 149 When the Visitors Come Calling (feat. Linda Haley)

What happens when the paranormal, energy work, and extraterrestrial encounters all start pointing toward the same strange corner of reality?Alyx and Ginelle sit down with Linda Haley, executive director of the Reiki Center in Columbus, Ohio, and the person behind the Experiencer's Forum at the Dayton UFO Conference. Linda shares the story of her own early paranormal experiences, including growing up in a haunted house, and how those frightening encounters eventually led her toward Reiki, energy work, spirit attachments, and helping others navigate experiences that can be difficult to explain.The conversation takes some seriously strange turns as Linda discusses spirit attachments, house clearings, psychic attacks, shadow people, "walk-ins," and the difference between something frightening and something truly dangerous. She also explains why she believes fear can attract lower energies, why she approaches spirits as people rather than monsters, and why she thinks experiencers need somewhere they can tell their stories without immediately being dismissed.And because this is Strange Talk, we couldn't leave the extraterrestrials out of it. Linda talks about her work with people who report ET experiences, her interest in the occupants rather than just mysterious lights in the sky, and her belief that some experiencers may be encountering something far stranger than a UFO overhead.From haunted houses to Reiki, from earthbound spirits to alien encounters, this is a conversation about what happens when the things we call impossible become somebody's everyday reality.The truth is out there, and sometimes, it walks right through the front door.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Ocean View by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.
