Special: Parapsychology and Ghosts – a Conversation With Christian Jensen Romer part 2

We’re back with the second part of our discussion with parapsychologist, RPG author and raconteur, Christian Jensen Romer.

In the first part, CJ told us how he became involved with ghost hunting. In this episode, he delves more into the various studies of ghost phenomena and some possible explanations for ghost sightings.

In the process, CJ clarifies and corrects a number of points we made in our recent episodes about ghosts. We really should have talked to him before recording those!

NEWS

If anyone else has a sleep paralysis episode, Chris French, is collecting data. https://www.gold.ac.uk/psychology/staff/french/

I am rather stoic. Did you know what was happening?

Wow, I admire your self control! I had sleep paralysis once and it scared me! (Paul)

I had sleep paralysis three times in one night. I had been snoring so I moved to the spare room. I woke up and there was an old woman in the room, by the end of the bed. There was also white noise. I couldn't move. I knew it was sleep paralysis, and that my eyes were still closed. I rocked back and forth until I could move again, and then the sensations stopped. It was scary, like a nightmare, and unnerving, even after I woke up. I went back to sleep, but it happened twice more and I got rather bored with it, and tired! I was thinking about moving to the sofa but couldn't be bothered and thankfully it stopped.
