February 17, 2000: Dead Spirits and Bizarre Dreams - Katia Romanoff, Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, & Lawrence Notts

Katia Romanoff leads a focused look at alleged contact with the dead as Lauri Quinn Loewenberg and Lawrence Notts join to probe bizarre dreams and a sustained haunting in rural West Virginia. Romanoff frames the question of what qualifies as credible spirit activity, while Loewenberg brings a behavioral lens to dream reports that blur into waking phenomena. Notts recounts a three year ordeal that began after selling timber on land tied to Native American graves. He describes unseen hands grabbing his wrists, sharp pain to the eyes, beds lifting, doors slamming, and objects shaking. He documents activity on videotape, watches a compass needle track an unseen presence, and notes that bright light and strobe effects briefly deter attacks. An attempted exorcism appears to expel one entity before two more arrive with greater force. A friend reports corroborating events, including needlelike eye pain and a sudden nasal sensation consistent with physical contact. The conversation weighs physical evidence, witness consistency, and the role of belief, asking whether the boundary between dreams and visitation can hold. The result is a methodical examination of fear, faith, and data points that refuse to fit simple explanations.
