In this powerful solo episode of Haunted in Waiting, Ann Lund dives deep into “the filter” — the invisible psychological and cultural lens shaping how we interpret reality.

What this episode covers
The Filter: Why We Miss the Paranormal In this solo episode of Haunted in Waiting, Ann Lund examines “the filter” — the psychological and cultural frameworks that shape how we perceive reality. Drawing from personal experience, Ann recounts a haunting in the Bronx involving a violently shaking radiator cover witnessed by multiple individuals, along with investigative insights from Gettysburg. The episode also revisits well-known cases including the Enfield Poltergeist and Amityville Horror, using them to explore how even multi-witness events are often dismissed through skeptical interpretation. Ann discusses the challenges the scientific method faces when studying paranormal phenomena, including issues of repeatability, unmeasured variables such as sensitivity or ESP, and the limitations of materialist assumptions. Cognitive explanations such as sleep paralysis, pareidolia, and unintentional blindness are also considered. Key themes include perception bias, belief formation, and the possibility that current frameworks may overlook aspects of reality.
