\nSoul… consciousness… what happens when we die? Is exploring the afterlife the purview of science, faith, or reality TV? Do we have the ability to know what lies beyond or the capacity to understand? And should we even dare?<\/p>\n

\"\"BJ’s film, Surviving Death:\u00a0 The Paranormal Debate<\/em><\/strong> asks those questions. The film is currently available on iTunes and Amazon and has already been shown on PBS member stations and screened in New York and Washington, D.C.\u00a0 The film features renowned parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach and The Travel Channel’s Most Haunted’s<\/em> Richard Felix among others, and is executive produced by Lisa Barretta.<\/p>\n

Filmed during an actual ghost hunt at Philadelphia’s famed Eastern State Penitentiary, the film’s eerie setting sets the stage for both paranormal experiences and the debate regarding death, consciousness, and psychic ability.<\/p>\n

It’s almost Halloween and ghost stories, especially those told \"\"’round the campfire, are one of the treats of the season.\u00a0 Jim Harold knows how to deliver!\u00a0 His latest book follows on the heels of last year’s bestselling Jim Harold’s Campfire:\u00a0 True Ghost Stories<\/em>, and is sure to keep you entertained while scaring you out of your skin!<\/p>\n

Join in the fun tonight as Jim shares some of the frightfully nightmarish tales from his latest book.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Jim created The Paranormal Podcast.\u00a0 After over a decade of working on the business side of media, Jim decided it was time to dust off his broadcast training and step back behind the mic.\u00a0 A life-long interest in the paranormal, combined with his love of broadcasting and technology, resulted in some the most successful pod casts of their type to date.\u00a0 Jim has worked in radio, business-to-business media, and has written, hosted and produced award-winning video programming over the course of his career.<\/p>\n

Jim holds a Master\u2019s Degree in Applied Communication Theory and Methodology and is accredited as a Certified Digital Media Consultant by the Radio Advertising Bureau. \u00a0Jim has also had the opportunity to teach at the university level.<\/p>\n

Jim\u2019s free pod casts are regularly among the top pod casts on iTunes in their respective categories, competing with mainstream media publishers such as NPR and many others. \u00a0 Jim lives in Ohio with his fantastic wife and (two) daughters. He is incredibly thankful for them and his loyal audience.<\/p>\n

Jim won\u2019t dress up in alien costumes and doesn\u2019t plan on buying that $19.99 Super Official Ghost Detector off of late night TV, but believes there is more to life than what meets the eye.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost Halloween, and if you\u2019re like most people, you\u2019re busy readying costumes for your children for trick or treat or perhaps are readying for a party for yourself.\u00a0 Halloween for most people is a lot of fun.\u00a0 But Halloween also serves another purpose.\u00a0 It allows us to face our fears about the unknown\u2026especially those fears and anxieties we may have about death.\u00a0 Is there an afterlife, what about reincarnation, and are ghosts real?<\/p>\n

Karen Richards is a lifelong psychic and medium.\u00a0 In addition, she does spiritual coaching, performs house clearings and blessings, Reiki healing sessions, and leads a paranormal investigation group known as In-Sight Paranormal, which serves the Front Range area of Colorado.\u00a0 Additionally, Karen is a staff writer for Bella Spark Magazine<\/em>, a holistic living publication.<\/p>\n
