Psychic medium Ericka Boussarhhane is highly respected for her amazing ability to communicate with loved ones from the Other Side. During the first half of Friday's show, she discussed her abilities and work as a psychic medium. She elaborated on her diverse psychic abilities, such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, and remote viewing, which allow her to see, hear, and even visit different places mentally. Boussarhhane mentioned how she frequently communicates with spirits and how people often seek her guidance to connect with deceased loved ones. Dream communication is a significant part of her work, and she explained how loved ones from the other side can easily connect with us through dreams. She recounted a story where a deceased friend appeared in a dream, which, for her, symbolized the person's peaceful transition to the afterlife.

Boussarhhane shared her experience as a kidney transplant recipient and how it has influenced her psychic abilities. She received a kidney from a deceased male donor in 2019 due to her own kidneys failing from polycystic kidney disease. According to Boussarhhane, the transplant not only physically saved her life but also enhanced her intuition, connecting her more deeply with the spiritual realm. She described having flashes of memories and cravings that she believes are connected to the donor's life. She revealed that the donor’s spirit conveyed gratitude and personal details, which she now incorporates into her work as a medium.

Boussarhhane talked about her experiences with UFO sightings and remote viewing investigations of haunted locations, particularly in Pensacola, Florida, where she runs ghost tours. Pensacola's haunted history, dating back to the 1500s, provides a rich environment for paranormal activities. She believes that spirits often linger not because they have failed to move on, but because they want their stories to be remembered. Boussarhhane also touched on the nature of evil, suggesting that a combination of biological, environmental, and possibly spiritual factors could lead to the actions of people like serial killer Ted Bundy. She emphasized the importance of prayer and spirituality in developing psychic abilities and navigating the complexities of the human psyche.

Open Lines followed in the latter half of the program. Gary from Billings, Montana, shared a profound spiritual experience he had while in an inpatient treatment program. During a moment of reflection on his late grandparents, he felt a powerful energy flow from the top of his head down to his feet, which gave him a strong sense that everything would be okay. He interpreted this as a manifestation of the Holy Spirit, which provided him comfort and reassurance that life would improve, despite the usual ups and downs.

Joe from Pittsburgh shared a paranormal experience he had during a solo trip to Washington, D.C. in 2011. After attending a Tori Amos concert, he encountered a strange phenomenon in his hotel room. The room slightly warmed, and his body hairs stood up just before he saw an orb, larger than a ping pong ball, float across the room and disappear into the wall. The atmosphere returned to normal immediately after. Joe did not sense any malevolence from the orb, attributing it to a benign paranormal presence. He also mentioned past paranormal experiences and his interest in lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences.

Tim from Titusville, Florida, called into a show to share his long-time connection to the program, having listened since the mid-90s. He reminisced about various hosts and memorable moments, including the passing of Ian, which deeply affected him. Tim also recounted a strange experience while traveling in North Carolina, where his wife met a woman who revealed that her son was tragically killed in the infamous Joplin tornado after being sucked out of a car's sunroof. The coincidence of meeting the woman left Tim and his wife deeply moved.

The final half-hour featured a replay from 10/31/2014 when author Tabitha Prock shared paranormal stories from Monroe County, Tennessee.
