Souls vs. Spirits

We spend this Halloween with special guest host, Chris Riley, a voice actor who plays Fen'rahl "Fen" Everbren in the upcoming show Unexpectedly Serious Turn. Chris and his fellow cast member, Mackayla Hill, joined up together to read stories submitted by listeners for this Halloween special. Join us as we listen to our listener's spooky stories, meet Chris (and Fen'rahl), tell some of our own personal ghost stories (Adam & Chris had one in the same place!), and talk about scary otherworldly creatures that Fen'rahl and his fellow adventurers may encounter. We recorded this episode REALLY close to midnight on October 30, so we started encountering quite a bit of paranormal activity as well, so keep an ear out in case you happen to pick up some EVP that we may have missed.  Happy Halloween!

This episode isn't on topic at all. Shit has been really rough for everyone this past year and we wanted to take time to address that. This is our wellness check. We haven't been updating weekly as life has just gotten beyond overwhelming. We take time to talk about our own personal 2020 struggles, those that we've lost, how it's all impacting our day-to-day, and that IT IS okay to NOT be okay. This episode is raw and unedited. We get really deep, and let out a ton of our own bottled up emotions. You can skip this one if you wish to. But if you need a virtual, socially distanced hug and need to hear that you're not the only one struggling- This one is for you. TRIGGER WARNING: Self harm, drug use, drinking, and suicide is talked about in this episode. If you struggle with these issues and need to talk, you can reach out to us anytime to chat, or get in contact with a Suicide Prevention Organization if you're having thoughts of suicide.

Would you die for your beliefs? In this episode, we talk about those that did. Starting with St. Patrick and the theories around the snakes he drove out of Ireland, Adam & Tyla talk about the wars on religion in both Ireland and England.  They trek through the Tudor era, covering the religious persecution of both Catholics and Protestants, and then end it by briefly talking about one of the most famous hauntings near the sight of mass religious executions in London.  TRIGGER WARNING: Personal religious opinions as well as discussions around torture do come up. Please skip this episode if you can't handle that. Follow us on: Instagram: @otherworldly_divergence || Facebook:  Otherworldly Divergence || Twitter: @OD_onGhosts || TikTok: @OtherworldlyDivergence

It seems like every religion and culture has it's own twist on what Vampires are and how they began. In this 2-Part Feature, Kyle, Tyla and Adam dig through heaps of information from cultures and religions all over the world, compare the facts to the fiction, and examine the lives of people who died accused of- or being tied to- Vampirism. They then take a small peek into the world of real life vampires, explain some of the different types, and help you uncover how you might already know a few.

What is the difference between a soul and a spirit? What the heck is a soul contract? What is the difference between a residual and intelligent spirit? Where can I get the best coffee in Washington!? Adam and Tyla attempt to answer all this - and more - in this discussion about souls and spirits.

...and of course - The Ghosts. In the first episode of Season 1, Adam and Tyla invite you to join them on their journey back to the year of 1692 where they walk through the different events and theories surrounding the infamous Witch Trials of Salem, Massachusetts. They, like many others, have often asked themselves "why in the world would people do this to each other?" So, they set out to discover what it might have been like during that time as a series of unfortunate events piled up- one on top of the other- to eventually explode into the perfect storm of chaos, betrayal, torture, and fear that we now know of as: The Salem Witch Trials. We'll never fully understand why and how events like this happened, but we should never stop trying to.

Laugh along as they reminisce about some of their most memorable experiences with the paranormal and discuss their (un)popular ghostly opinions and theories.
