If You Have Ghosts You Have Everything...
by Alan Bishop
Alan Bishop, The Alchemist of Indiana's Black Forest region takes a hard lefthand path into the Heather to present first-hand supernatural accounts that have shaped his Alchemical workings. On "If you have ghosts you have everything" we will delve deep into the supernatural, the occult, the Fortean, folk Majik, history, stories from friends and listeners, and history to reveal the not so hidden "veil" between our perceived reality and what might exist just slightly out of sight.
